Kings managed to survive yet another pathetic start to beat Wolves at home improving to 7-8 sharing the 5th worst record in the NBA with 2 other teams. This was an important victory vecause Kings are about to lose 4 games in a week starting tonight in Portland and then going to Houston, New Orleans i San Antonio.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Piksi's pow(d)er rankings

Little set back after last night obviously. It would have been a milestone if we manages to lose that one. Still in good shape though.

Playoffs - why not. We have an undefeated coach now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Kenny Natt quits now while he is ahead - he can go in the NBA history as undefeated. His time is running out because about 12 hrs from now it will be too late. I still think that we need to find a more permanent solution asap.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
None of our concerns obviously but Kevin McHale is worse than Isaiah Thomas. He will destroy Wolves before he is shot.. I meant done there. It wasn't enough that he run his GM position like AIG executive. Now he is coaching like a FEMA presidant.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't talk much about the game because I watched the first quarter and really couldn't take it anymore so I went to do stresless things and when I came back we won fairly comfortably. So, someone else needs to fill in the AWARDS for me. I saw 8 guys in double figures and nice minutes for kids so that is a good sign
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Blazwers are next and that would have still been perfect at home ig Hedo hadn't banked the three with the buzzer. That must have hurt because even Clippers beat them at home after that. They lost 3 straight and will do everything to stop the streak. Hopefully - we will be competative with bunch of PT for the kids.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kevin - get well soon
Brad - get traded soon
Beno - lost his minutes hence marginal contribution
Hawes - nice
Salmons - 2 assists - wow

JT - keep it up
rest mateen
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Blazers only 15-10 in desperate need for the win. We come in nicely. What David Lee can do to us Joel can do too. LW-VC goes to Aldidge. Kings need a good performance here - not a win.

Kings looking exact opposite of last night against T-Wolves early on. Shooting red hot with Salmons looking like Dr J. Nice block by Hawes another early highlight.

If it wasnt for the fact that we're letting them pick our pockets like we're tourists in gypsy land we'd be up by 10.

We're playing some good defense, they're shooting .364 for the quarter

I like Natt's demeanor. A Sloan disciple too... I like that also.

What if Natt gets to keep the job as long as he gets a veteran guy with HC experience as his right hand man? You know, like what Reggie SHOULD have done.

Beno's been doing that all night. Get him outta there until he settles down!

I really wish we could play some defense without fouling... losing BoJax hurts. Now Douby will come in and chuck up bad shots. :)

Way to go Bobby, you screwed up any chance of making it a game.

And will some explain to me why this scrub beno is on the floor?... What is that like 10 turn overs?

Hmm... doesn't seem like I saw Cisco in that second quarter.. or at all? Is he even playing?

I don't even care about the offense.. we just don't have the talent or skill right now. But there's so much room for improvement on the defensive end. We're slow, don't box out, foul way too often and aren't any good at getting out on the 3pt shot or fighting around screens. All issues that can be corrected with discipline.

Hopefully this is somethin Natt can bring to the table... pretty horrendous to watch! And yeah I know the team is probably fatigued... still. :)

I swear Beno thinks he is so much better then he really is. Whenever there's a problem on the the court beno is always blaming the player closest to him. We really shouldn't of resigned this guy.

Beno...yet another bad Petrie signing.

Whenever anyone gives props to GP it's about how he drafts...But is that even him? Or our scouts? There was an article in the Bee awhile back about one of our scouts who's been pretty much behind EVERY good draftee.

Geoff's just been living off the lucky trade that got us Webber. He isnt that great a GM.

In my opinion Beno has been our best/ most consistent player all year.

this is largely to do with me not being able to stand john salmons .. sure he's doing good tonight but he has the ball all the time and doesnt pass ..

Beno is consistant at turning it over. He's shooting around 48% from the floor, which is great...But the dude is averaging like, 3 turnovers per 5 assists. Not a good ratio for your starting PG.


Salmons has been VERY consistant.

Although one of the things he's consistant at is being a black hole, as you mentioned.

However if it wasnt for him we'd be down at least 20 right now.
