turn on the sprinklers, the kings and kevin martin are on FIRE!

i'm still shocked how dead the crowd is!

SAR AT THE BUZZER!
 
No points (on no shots!) for Artest this half, but actually a very good half offensively for Artest (besides his usual awesome D). Artest passing the ball off to better shooters / more open players instead of chucking ill-advised shots is a big reason why the Kings have scored 65 points this half.

Kudos to Ron. :D

PS: to be fair, it is easy to pass the ball and go with the flow when you're leading by 20. Hopefully, Artest won't force things too much himself if the Kings get in a slump or is just not doing well, in this game or in the future. That is, I think, the single major key to the Kings success. :crosses fingers:
 
68.4% shooting at the half for the kings, 50% for the blazers
we are outrebounding them 17-8
we have less turnovers ( 9 for them, 7 for us)
we are outscoring them 32- 20 in the paint

now, lets just keep it up in the 2nd half. knock on wood, but the blazers have come back from 27 down this year to win ( hornets)

still, the kings look good considering it's the 2nd night of a B2B. we'll see how that goes in the 2nd half/4th QT

WAKE UP ARCO! 22 point lead and i hear crickets chirping! maybe the jailblazers TV is toning them down, but it sounds dead in that sold out area. give me some arco thunder!

GO KINGS!
 
I'd really like to see better defense. But great offense!

They said that Muss had a heart-to-heart with Ron before the game. I think they suspect it was about ball movement and not taking bad shots. We'll see how long that lasts. Hopefully Ron will see that the team is better when the ball moves and you go for good shots.
 
we have a good luck charm tonight. harvey the rally kitten. he just woke up, jumped off the bed and is sitting RIGHT in front of the TV. he likes to watch basketball, it's adorable. he tries to get the ball :D

Hell, if Anaheim can have a stupid monkey, we can have a rally kitten, for God's sake.
