Is Rudy Gay really going to miss his third game in a row with a "bad heel"?
Hasn't he (or the training staff) ever heard of Dr. Scholl's?
Last time these teams met Kemba Walker went absolutely nuts making 16-23 FGs.....Rondo and Darren cannot let this happen again. Willie also played only 8 minutes in that game. I have feeling Willie will play more than 8 minutes tonight! Even if Rondo and Darren cannot keep Kemba in front of them they can push him towards help and this is what I will be watching for tonight.
Kemba in his first four years in the league has been an inefficient scorer (46% 52% 50% and 49% TS) and for this he was rewarded with 4 year / 48 million deal. The big money led to big improvement! He is now at 55% TS which better justifies his usage rate (25%).
Tonight will be good test for our improved defense. When Willie plays 24 minutes or more since return from injury we allow 12 fewer points per game (95 vs 107). Let's see if this keeps up. Last game we allowed 39 points to Kemba and 38 points in 4th quarter collapse that led to OT loss. That was back in November when defense was an afterthought. Things have changed.
Stopping Kemba and holding under 100 points will be objective tonight and not getting an eye poked out by Jeremy Lin's mohawk.

OK sorry, I'll stop
We're gonna garner more than usual interest just because tonight's game features the 2 new Players of the Week. Based on what I've seen recently, I think Rondo and George Karl (and whomever else seems to be involved in keeping these guys on point) have their work cut out for them. With the Wildcat Kings® on the same page, this should be a good game to extend the streak.
GO KINGS!
GO KINGS!
This game is not as easy as some are making it out to be- they won 2 in a row and 4 of their last 7, and they have done it without the guys missing today (MKG hasn't played this season, Jefferson has only played 19 games this year, Batum and Zeller didn't take part in their last 2 wins) so they proved they can be competitive without them, we are still the better team and should win this game but I doubt it will go as easy as some are expecting.

pssst. Boogie. Don't get surly with Zarba tonight. Kings have won most of the games he has reffed lately, and Charlotte has lost last 7
