And now...the other LA team

[drupal=60]And now...the other LA team[/drupal]

The Kings played well for about 44 minutes. Unfortunately a game has 48 minutes and when the opposing team has arguably the best player in the game today on its roster it's only a matter of time.

No excuses, however. We weren't expected to do much of anything against the Lakers so last night's game was actually better than I had hoped.

The Kings and the Lakers both flew to LA last night, but I'm willing to be they weren't on the same plane. For all the talk around here of no rivalry, it sure looked and sounded like a rivalry last night. The fans in the stands AND the players on the court were acting like they have from the beginning as far as Lakers-Kings games are concerned.

Now the Kings head into Staples to face the Clippers. This is a winnable game, but you have to wonder how much energy the Kings will have. Laker games take a lot out of everyone.

I want to see the heart and hustle, though. And I want to see less of Anthony Johnson. I want to see more of Spencer and especially Shelden. I'd like to see less iso by Artest, but I'm not holding my breath.

The game discussion thread is here.

The PBP thread is here.

Let's get ready for some Kings basketball!

what a battle we'll see tonight. in the voice of bill walton

"WILL mikki moore have another monster night on the glasss"
" CAN ron artest keep maggette in check"
"how looong will theus continue to give anthony johnson quincy's minutes"
"WILL my son ever get enough of living the rich lifestyle in bevery hills"

EDIT: Oh wait. I just checked. It's on Comcast. Whew.

Sorry...

no. im making fun of bill walton. but those concerns are really my concerns. moore had a nice rebounding effort last night. will it repeat. can ron artest play defense this game and not try to be the man. actually thats an understatement. artest tried to be the man last night but failed miserably. there was only one hero last night and he didnt play for the kings. i just threw in that luke walton crap. but wait, i think bill really did say that

My thoughts exactly on Ron...it just disgusts me everytime. Ron Artest is NOT the "go to" guy, and he continues to kill us down the stretch. Can Kevin get the rock? He was taking game deciding shots when Mike was still here? Gimme a break. That's my rant.
Anyway..I will be in attendance at Staples tonight, so hopefully after that total collapse last night we can take advantage of the pitiful Clips. I just hope we can make layups when the game counts. Not saying any names......Brad, John, Kevin....
