Kings are 0-3 against lakers this season as they lost another home game dropping to 23-45, 17-17 at home and 2-2 on the 5 game home stand. That is good enough for the 6th worst record in the NBA. Kings are on the verge of drafting another Hawes and we have to avoid it at all cost. 6 of the next 7 are on the road so that a 2 and 5 would be satisfactory for what we need. Anything better would hurt us maybe even make a permanent damage. We need to tank.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
About 48 hrs before the game starts Tyreke is only 10 pts, 10 assists and 10 rebounds away from triple double. It is getting old. Announcers are repeating it every 30 seconds, fans are upset at other players when they miss a shot or get a rebound. No onr caes about the game, team or anything else. Triple double is overrated because it rarely comes normally out of neccessity. More ofthen than not it is a consequence of stat padding during garbage time where guys are still on the floor when they shouldn't be. Last 3 minute of last nights game was about one assist and nothing else.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lakers have better support at ARCO than at Staples Center. Only Jack is missing. I have hard time accepting that. Should never happen. I understand circumstances and reasons for it happening but it doesn't make it less humiliating.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kings need a makeover of the front line. No combination of what we have will ever be sufficient for anything serious. We need something big, tall strong and tough. Doesn't have to shoot threes, make back door passes or ever hit a free throw. We don't need any of that. We have that and it doesn't work and looks pathetic.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Lakers were tired, didn't shoot well and had only 3 guys contributing. It was enough against a team where Lisa Leslie would be the toughest big "man." They pushed us around, they dunked us into nothingness and made us shoot jumpers. We just aren't a good shooting team. At least we kept our lottery score the same. We played them better earlier this season but mostly because we made more shots than usual. We will play them one more time as last game of the season and they will probably rest some guys.

my matchups
Reke vs Kobe - pretty even matchup overall but kome dominated the 2nd half. Reke missed at least 10 easy points
Kings vs FT line - can we make some ? nope
Kingsfans.com members vs the referees - we complained as usual
Kings big vs laker giants - how bad will it be ? it was worse than just bad. They play different sport
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
AWARD TIME
TDM - Mr Sharapova gets the TDM
LW-VC - Ron " I used to play basketball" Artest
JHA - Donte "defense isn't enough" Greene
MIKKI - Cisco " I want but I don't know how" Garcia
SAR- Derek "can't even flop anymore" Fisher
RA&1 - Adam "should have been a career college student" Morrison
Jax/Walk - Beno "haven't hit a three in ages" Udrih
WTF/JT moment of the game - chasing the final assist
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bucks also coming to town as part of the second game of the back to back set if You can consider Clippers as a game at all.Bucks have been great after the all star break and few trades they made so that is not the team Evans beat with the buzzer earlier this season. They are riding 6 game winning streak longest in the NBA right now and it will probably be 7 because Clippers aren't stupid enough to win games at this time of the year. Kings will again have to do 2 things to win the game. Rebound and hit the free throws. We suck doing both.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
my matchups
Reke vs jennings - statement game for a ROY and jennings too
Kings big FT line - can we make some reloaded ? beyong pathetic
Stackhouse vs SAR-Metuselah award
Kings big vs Bogut - who will have more rebounds ?
Salmons vs LW-VC award - volume shooters miss a lot when tired
----------------------------------------------------------
Evans - screw the stats - just play
Beno - imnconsistant
Hawes - too soft but also bad rebounder, defender you name it
Casspi - getting back on track
Landry - I expected more
May - bgreat game
Cisco - bad choice of shots, bad ball handling, bad defense just bad
Greene - good defense and nothing else
JT - that was nice again - he should start
rest mateen
---------------------------------------------------------
Bucks are 36-29 but only 13-20 on the road. They are 12-1 since the trade deadline. Bogut is playing out of his mind. TDM will go to Ilyasova. LW-VC will go to Bell. Kings could use a lin here.
