2B Daily News – Tuesday, April 17, 2012 BY AILENE VOISIN McClatchy Newspapers SACRAMENTO — They didn't hide. They didn't get skinned, either. Now, imagine how much more civil the increasingly nasty arena conversation would have been if the Sacramento Kings were something other than unwatchable for the better part of these last six seasons? The Maloofs, the city, the NBA, the Kings ... The drama ... Power Balance Pavilion — was eerily reminis- cent of the days when the Kings were good and the Maloofs were flush. The announced crowd of 16,012 directed its venom at the Portland Trail Blazers, for the most part internalizing or ignoring the ongoing spat about the downtown arena pro- posal that collapsed late last week. These Kings are like catnip. That's why the Sunday afternoon at Arco Arena — um, NBA is so protective of this market. Give Sacra- mento fans even a whiff of a potentially appealing and marginally successful product, and they will surprise you. Arena drama pushed aside for a day On the tube and a familiar postgame locker room visit by Gavin Maloof. Joe and Gavin Maloof, in fact, were present throughout. The Kings' co-owners arrived about 30 minutes before tipoff and walked right through one of the main doors instead of making their usual entry at the security gate on the lower level. They remained in their suite and were visible throughout — pacing, cheering, speaking animat- edly on their cellphones. And the crowd reaction? Now that was inter- esting. Benevolent? Detached? Understanding? Tolerant? Controlled fury? The local shrinks must be having a blast with this. Excluding a few shouts to "sell the team," there 3.4 seconds remaining as the crowd erupted. "We can say that none of this stuff (arena talk) has been bothering us," Kings coach Keith Smart said with a slight smile after his postgame news conference, "but that's not human nature. Players have families. They hear things. Today we were just able to put everything aside and just focus on the game."

After all these years — and a lousy economy, repeated appearances at the draft lottery, a run of terrible basketball and business decisions, not to mention that eternal, insufferable arena situation _ Sunday started off all about the owners and the arena, and ended with a thrilling Kings victory Now 72 years old, Jack Nicklaus jokes that he can't remember what happened yesterday. Yet he's never forgotten what it COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Nicklaus hasn't forgotten his most magical shots were few outward displays of displeasure direct- ed at the brothers. (One of the more creative fans in Section 122 wore a grocery bag over his head with this suggestion in crayon: "Sign the deal. Just sign it.") For an afternoon, anyway, it was mostly about the game. DeMarcus Cousins tempered his emo- tions and muscled inside for 23 points, including a late basket off a sensational hesitation spin move. Tyreke Evans defended well during the crucial sequences. Same for Terrence Williams. The diminutive Isaiah Thomas again demonstrat- ed why he is a crowd favorite; the undersized rookie continues acting like a big shot, contribut- ing steals, assists and physical defense. Marcus Thornton shook off his erratic shooting night and hit the winning jumper from the right side with was like to hit the most famous shots of his illustrious career. ''I can still feel it, it feels the same,'' he said Monday at a charity luncheon affiliated with the Memor- ial Tournament, which he founded and hosts. ''You can still feel the shot, the way it came off your hands, 30 or 40 years later. I still have that same feeling. I haven't matched it lately. I do know that feeling, though. And it's kind of fun to know what it feels like in golf.'' The years have not dimmed the sweet spot he hit on the 1 iron that he drilled through the wind and off the pin at 17 to take the 1972 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, or the 5 iron with a slight draw at 16 that helped him win the 1986 Masters at age 46. Nicklaus, who helped raise $275,000 at the luncheon for Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, appeared with the defending Memorial Tournament winner, Steve Stricker, and two-time U.S. Open champion and golf ana- lyst, Andy North. GIANTS (Continued from page 1B) Tom Little. The move keeps San Francisco's top three starters — Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Bumgarner — under contract at least through next season. ''We've made no secret of our strategy. Our strategy is to lock up as many home- grown players as we can,'' Giants President and CEO Larry Baer said. ''It doesn't mean we're going to be able to lock up every homegrown player.'' San Francisco is off to a solid start. ner, squeezed between Lincecum and Cain in the rotation, helped form the starting pitching trio that car- ried the Giants to the 2010 World Series title. He has a 3.12 ERA and a 21-20 record in three-plus seasons in San Francisco and is still polishing his pitches. The move was the latest step toward management's offseason goal to keep the star pitchers together beyond this season. The 22-year-old Bumgar- Even though he no longer plays much golf — he said his five kids and 22 grandchildren all lead busy lives and don't usually have time — Nicklaus said he hasn't forgotten his signature shots. Funny, he said, how many of them were 1 irons. There was the shot at Pebble Beach that helped him hold off Bruce Crampton. There was also another 1 iron at Augusta National, with Tom Weiskopf and Johnny Miller pres- suring him, that led to his Masters victory in 1975. Stricker remains impressed by the 5 iron that Nicklaus carved into the back-left pin placement on Sun- day at the '86 Masters. ''I still can't get over that shot,'' Stricker said. ''I know you've hit a ton of great shots over the years, but that's not an easy pin, first of all. One little flick over there and you're in the water.'' With some embarrassment, Nicklaus said that shot was memo- rable because of his reaction to it. ''On that particular shot, I made probably the cockiest remark I've ever made in my life on a golf course,'' he said. ''It was 175 yards and a 5 iron that I had to take a little earlier this month. Giants vice present of baseball operations Bobby Evans said the team also spoke with representatives for Lincecum and star catch- er Buster Posey earlier in the day to reaffirm the fran- chise's commitment to sign- ing long-term deals with both. However, he doesn't expect anything to get done during the season, as is the case in most years. ''We see the future in both those guys, too,'' Evans said, ''and it's important to us to make sure they know that.'' Bumgarner has been an important cog. The Giants drafted the lefty 10th overall in 2007, and it didn't take long for him to make a splash. At 20 years and 38 days old, Bum- garner became the fran- chise's youngest pitcher to start a game in his major league debut since the NASCAR Sprint Cup Points Leaders 1. Greg Biffle 2.

I hit it just to the right of the flag, with a slight draw. I hit the shot and I knew where it was. I reached down to pick up my tee and (son) Jackie, who was caddying for me, said, 'Be right!' I said, 'It is.''' ''That remark can get you in a lot of trouble when the ball's still in the air.'' To loud laughter, he added, North said all of those shots are memorable but it was much shorter ones that made them so. ''When I think of Jack Nicklaus, I think of (those), and 100,000 8- footers he made when he needed to make them,'' he said. Bubba Watson's hooked wedge shot from the trees right of the 10th fairway in a playoff at this year's Masters ranks with the greatest shots of all time, Nicklaus said. In trouble off the tee, Watson had to hit an incredible shot to just stay alive in his two-man showdown with Louis Oosthuizen. Watson's dramatic shot landed on the green and spun within range of an easy two-putt par that gave him his first major championship. Nicklaus said it was hard to even Giants moved from New York in 1958. the fifth-youngest pitcher to start a World Series game and fourth-youngest to win one at just 21 years and 91 days old when San Francis- co beat the Phillies for the city's first championship. A year later, he became ''It's hard to believe he's 22 years old,'' Giants man- ager Bruce Bochy said. ''To have two-fifths of our rota- tion tied up (long term), that's always a good thing. We always talk about special talent throwing a baseball, but his makeup is off the charts.''

Not only did he play the shot, but he played the shot and ended up with control at the end of the shot — which I thought was the amazing part.
