Kings continue to dominate the tanking by losing 8 straight and 10 out of the last 11 games. we need to "sweep" the rest of the season to make sure we get the 3rd worst record in the NBA because we need help and helping yourself is the best kind of help you can get. Kings are 24-54 only half game away from the Warriors and the 3rd worst record in the league. Still anything from 3rd to 6th worst is possible because 4 teams are inside 1/2 games. Similar to the playoff positioning battle in the West just way more important.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
4 games left and the schedule is brutal because only mavs will really care to win their game. Clippers tomorrow in their back to back might not even show up and yet we HAVE to find a way to lose that game. Few years ago a useless woss against Clippers was the difference between Noah and Hawes. After hosting Dallas we also host Houston already done for the season and Kevin will be @ ARCO in Rockets uniform for the first time so who knows what will happen. Hopeully Scola goes for 50. Final game in LA against Luke Walton and whoever else will be available and not resting is such a tempting situation where Kings can ruin their future a bit. Again - Kings neeed to finish this strong and end up with 24-58 so we can sleep well and look forward to the draft.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If we do this right - next season will be the last losing season we will have for a while. We should manage to win 30 games next season and the draft picks won't be as important anymore and all of us can start getting used to winning because losing sucks and wanting to lose sucks square but is is so damn necessary at this stage. It is vital for the future especially since decent FAs go to Sacramento only at a gun point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I missed 8 consecutive Kings games which hasn't happened since I got NBA LP the first time sometines in 2000 or so. Obviously, this losing makes it less regretable to miss a game here and there but 8 straight is a lot. Don't know how it will wok in the future but I will have to start taping them and watch tape especially when we start winning again.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Evans is very close to 20/5/5 and then some and itt would be smart sitting him down but with all "propaganda" for Curry and "idiot" - he needs to finish strong without hurting our main goal. He had a phenomenal rookie season and everyone is looking forward for more. This summer will tell us how hard he works on his weaknesses beccause that jumper needs to show up more often.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Casspi on the other hand couldn't handle the schedule and decomposed which is okay. He will adjust next season and he will do well. We have bunch of good pieces and we need help on the front line - a lot of helo because what we have will NEVER be enough to have a great team. all of them seem to be limited and those limitations are either physical or mental - hard to overcome. We need to overdo that part of the team - completely.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
We played pretty well against the Spurs and lost it on the boards which was the punishmant for playing zone. everything else was pretty even. First half was very good actually other than Noc starting or playing for that matter. Depressinf fact is that in 78 games our coach still hasn't figured out the rotation and it looks like even a "baseball season" wouldn't be enough for that.

Clippers game on Thursday is a perfect opportunity for barkley do make fun of us on national TV. We have to find a way to tank this ona and it will be tough because we play the best tankers of all time on theri second game of back to back set. That means - we have to be extremely fugly and then some. Only 2 things really matter. We get a lin and Evans gets 20/5/5. Everything else is meaningless and it will be forgotten the next day already
--------------------------------------------------------------------
my matchups
Evans vs 20/5/5 - he is very close
Lings vs - lin - must lin game for us. Won't be easy.
--------------------------------------------------------
Evans - make it happen
rest of the team -help him make it happen and don't get hurt
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Clippers - no one really cares
