Sacramento Kings versus Memphis Grizzlies
It sure pay to have a well-known daddy.
Well that was quite fun wasn't it?
After a rousing victory against an already bad team missing half its roster after a crazy trade deadline, the Kings came out and promptly laid an egg against a team is decidedly not the Boston Celtics.
For forty minutes (the Kings actually held their own for most of the first quarter), the Clippers not only took the Kings' lunch money but they made them watch as they did dirty things to their mothers. It was ugly, depressing, and not wholly different from the kind of butt whooping that was so customary during the mercilessly long Ty Corbin era.
But heck, David Stockton got to play, so we all win!
Awards Time
Tony Delk Memorial Award- Austin Rivers, who decided to play good after I trashed him in my write-up.
Shareef Abdur-Rahim Award- Hedo, who probably should have finished his career four years ago but is still hanging on anyways because he can.
Mikki Moore Award- Dahntay Jones, who blocked a shot so emphatically that he hurt himself and missed the rest of garbage time.
John Salmons Memorial Award (Formerly the Jason Hart Award)- Jason Thompson, who followed up a great game against the Celtics by seemingly forgetting to show up for his twenty minutes of action.
Mateen Of the Night- David Stockton. Even Mateen got to take off his warm-ups every once in a while.
Spencer Hawes Award for Doucheyness- Spencer Hawes, who apparently had a cat die on his head and left it there.
The View From the Other Side
This only happens in a win.
Tonight's Game
The Grizzlies Roster as Recalled from Memory
C: The formerly fat Gasol brother/ Alliteratively name European
PF: Old guy Z-Bo/Anonymous white dude/
SF: Jeff "Don't Call Me Donte" Green/ Another white dude
SG: Girl Name Lee/ Tony Allen/ some other white guy probably
PG: Mike Conley/ Beno
Injured/Old: Vince Carter's ghost.
Match-ups
Boogie versus Gasol: Possibly the two best centers in the league. Except one's been on a team tailor-made to his skill set and the other's been stuck with a stream of incompetent coaches.
Z-Bo, Vince Carter, and Andre Miller versus Old Age: All three of the guys are old enough to have been around when the Grizzlies were still in Vancouver. All three also may vanish in a poof of dust if hit too hard.
David Stockton versus the Bench: Will the Kings lose by enough points that David Stockton sees garbage time?
TRADE BOOGIE!
