Tonight's game: Golden State at Kings, Arco Arena, 6 p.m.

What to watch from the Kings: They'll look to add a few offensive wrinkles against the Warriors, as coach Rick Adelman has been taking the instruction slowly so far. And keep an eye on backup point guard Jason Hart, who should get a chance to face off against Baron Davis. Bonzi Wells vs. Jason Richardson could be explosive, too.

What to watch from the Warriors: Flashes of brilliance. The hype has been heightened in Oakland, where the Warriors - who have split two preseason games with the Lakers - are being talked about as if they might actually matter. Davis was electric after being traded from New Orleans in February, guiding the Warriors to an 18-10 record after his arrival.

I really like what Jason Hart has brought so far. That said, getting to see our backup PG square off against one of the league's best is not something I am going to be particularly watching for, nor really looking forward too.

 

[Warhawk]

Eh, it's preseason. Baron probably will not be in top form yet, and why not give the kid a chance to see what he can do?

 

[Fillmoe]

IM SO HAPPY! i get to watch the game!

 

[Dime Dropper]

can someone give a link to where I can hear the game? Or is there a PBP being done?

 

[sono]

it's on NBA.com (before the game begins check the liveaudio link on it's scoreboard), so far it's been nothing but disappointment. It doesn't work. Here's another link you can try http://www.thegamelive.com/.

Baron >>>>>>>>> Hart.

Which is nothing against Jason, who looked good last game. Just a fact about the pecking order. It just seemed to be a silly comment for Sam to say that what we should be watching for this game is Hart matching up with Baron. Why exactly?

P.S. as an aside, Baron has averaged 17.5pts 7.5ast 2.5stls in 25.5min in the preseason so far.

And, Baron is not even in top form yet. I have always liked Baron Davis (except when he plays against the Kings). He does not get near the accolades he should receive because: 1) he has played with crappy teams 2) he has spent a lot of time on the IR.

I really like our new back-up PG, but he is not even close to a Baron Davis who is one of the top 4 PG's in the NBA.

this may be true, but who would you rather see guarding baron: mike bibby or jason hart? jason hart is one scrappy player. he seems like the kinda guy who can frustrate the hell outta big time scoring PG's.

While this may very well be true (and I believe it is to a certain degree), don't forget that Baron is quite excellent at picking pockets. I question whether Hart can stand up to Baron's defense, which is excellent in its own right.

 

[Warhawk]

Again, it is preseason, and based on the past few posts, why not see what this guy can do? What do we have to lose? Personally, I'd like to see more of exactly what we'll be getting out of a lot of these new guys when the games are still pretty much meaningless. Mike will get his minutes....

 

[ONEZERO]

Baron davis is THE best pg in the league.

That's right Baron is one of the best PGs. Since the outcome of this game is not important, why RA shouldn't match up Hart with Baron. We know less or more how it'd be between Mike & Baron, but with Hart I agree with Warhawk, we gotta test him against the best.

^^^dont tell that to marbury.... lol........

Bibby defending? Just making sure thats the message your trying to convey.

 

[Kings113]

Hart/Davis should be a good match-up. As will the Kings/Warriors, I think the Kings will win.

 

[Prophetess]

can someone give a link to where I can hear the game? Or is there a PBP being done?

Since they already answered your other question,

There is almost always a PBP being done here, usually courtesy of VF.



I'm just thrilled my daughter and I are going to the game. If any of you are, stop by and say hi!

We'll be at 207, Q, 21&22
