Hall of Famer
Looking back to the Jazz game - I am very happy that most of our players survived without injuries. Especially the starting frontline.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A very interesting game in several aspects tonight. Kings are going to win it and that is the main thing. Everything else - who knows at the moment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is Mike going to play ? We beat the Jazz without him but it was obvious that without a "general" any battle is much harder. Eventhough the 2 man game makes me sick most of the time, Mike was missed on the floor. While I realize that House is different kind of a player and that he also needs plenty of time to get used to the system - I do not think that he sould be a "major minutes" player at any time.
Is Evans going to play ? He has been great lately and eventhough he is not "that important" in the large picture - sometimes a small screw gets a big engine to stop.
How much is Mobley going to play and how is that going to influence the team ? One never knows ? It can go either way. Will be interesting.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clippers have injuries on their own. They played double overtime last night (beat Heat). We should take advantage of that early. Maybe tonight we can reast some player a little. They are athletic and if they are not too tired thay can cause some problems. Usually, I would say - no way we can lose this one but after Warriors and Hornets...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CW- had a great game against Jazz. Unfortunately, his knee is an "X" factor evey night - so You never know how much he will be able to move. It affect his defense and the team defense too. Brand could be a difficult match up tonight.
Pedja - been playing well lately. We need more of that. Will see how Mobley will influence his game. He should not but - one never knows. If Pedja stays agressive - it will not matter.
Mike - questionable. We could really use some minutes out of him.
Brad - where the hell have You been hiding Brad ? Has an excelent last game. No reason he should not repeat it tonight. SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT !!!!
Mobley - assuming he gets to start - we will see how high is his BB IQ ? He is the one that needs to adjust but still play the game that he is used to. It is his contract Year - so it is in his best interest to do great. I hope that RA will not get an idea to try him as PG incase Bibby does not play. He is going to love ARCO - that is a given.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tag - made a dentist happy last game. Tag has to play. Forgett the match ups , the opponents etc. He will always give You good minutes in therms of what he does.
Darius - glad to see that some homecooking helped after that trip. Hopefully back to normal
Evans- I think he should take a break tonight. Even if the fall was not serious - head injury is still a head injury. No need to make it worse.
Martin - had a good game except for the shooting part. That will come with time. His passing was rewarded by Pedja (not stolen by the NBA
). His minutes might but should not suffer because of this trade.
Barnes - did a solid job against Jazz. Still I do not think that there are any minutes available for him.
Bradley - if he plays - garbage time
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
How is RA going to handle changes. He had not have to make a major change during a season as a Kings coach. New player in a system that in not that common in the NBA. We will know more after several games. He needs to find minutes for the "Youth."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clippers surely have a player who is capable of posting career numbers against Kings.

Go Wizards !
Go Warriors !
Go Nets !
Go Blazers!
Go Rockets!
