The number two scorer has touched the ball a couple of time in the 4th but he's been mostly hiding in the corners or deferring to Ron Artest who has been a beast with 31 pts so far. Kevin needs to be more aggressive but he's also been shadowed by the Suns big time.
It looks to me like Martin often passes the ball, expecting it to come back to him and it never does. Of course, Martin has not shot a very good percentage last game and this one. I think they could help him out more, tho.
Ron is such a mixed bag. He's the natural leader of this team, but he's like... the officer in Apocalypse Now. He seems to have scared away most of the team, but on nights like this, he is an absolute monster.

That's the part that bothers me, tho. Everyone else defers to him and it's got to be team ball. Especially with this team.
I did not expect the Kings to win tonight, but they played with heart and grit. It was exciting and fun to watch. I hope Kevin can work through his shooting slump, tho. Last 2 games he's missing shots he usually makes.
