Makes me want to break out the old Lithuanian jerseys with tie dye designed by the Grateful Dead.

A talented and smooth player with very high bball IQ. He played at DeMatha High School and then UW. I watched him for years. He had some mental challenges breaking into the league, then knee problems. He may be perfect in a back up role. This is one talented player that deserves a chance.

The Kings just gave up 144 points. Defense has always been the Achilles Heel of the franchise. Christie gets defense. I have always liked the guy.

The Knicks are playing great.

Larry Bird used to just point to the scoreboard. What is on paper really is not that important. How many wins?

Okay who does Clark have a contract with?

Jealousy on the part of WNBA players caused Clark to head for Europe. I think they are getting what they deserve. Roughing up a rookie because she was highly touted and well paid is the dumbest thing I have seen in a while. The meal ticket for WNBA jumped ship and is having the last laugh.

Maybe. Better stop thinking about it and start winning some games.

Good guy to have, but no way he plays 25 minutes. The new look Kings are playing defense. Defensive ability has a lot to do with how many minutes players get in Brown's system.

The Kings need a few more games to start playing better together. DDR is good enough to be somewhat disruptive. Against weaker teams we have it together. Focus on defense, rebounding, defensive balance and moving without the ball. The Kings play fast and getting in playing shape will take...

James is one of the oldest players in the league. It is logical that he is going to look good at the beginning of the season. Forty games from now he will be slower especially in the second half of games. The Kings style is to play fast and move the ball. They started the game by standing...

what gives?

So0 why are the Kings have so much trouble in pre-season? Is DDR really that different of a player that it takes time to adjust? What's up?

Skal will never make it in the NBA. No way and no how.

The Kings' defense continues to improve at long last. I would expect nothing less from Mike Brown. This has been the missing skill set for 20 years. Team defense.
