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 :mad: ). 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!

He mentioned that in the his long pre-game thoughts.
But, yes it is going to be great to see the "Cat".

I am looking forward to tonights trip down memory lane as 20 years of Sacramento Kings ball is remembered.

oh yeeeeeeeeeeah!!

i forgot about that...oh the kings gotta feed off all that positive energy

aren't they suppose to having some special thing...i wonder if its before the game or during halftime...i really hope its like before the game

im really excited...i can't wait to see how CMob turns out...if hes playin ofcourse...but their should be no reason why he shouldn't...

i actually think this game could be an even bigger "I LOVE THIS TEAM" win then the game on Thursday night

i for one CANNOT wait

go kings!!
 
Although I won't be there in person, I know two people (my boss/friend and her husband) who are going to be attending their first game. They're going to have a great time!!!

GO KINGS!!!
 
I would very much like to see the 20th anniversary celebrations. If they are telecast prior to the game, I will not get it on League Pass. LP does not start until gametime. No pre-game shows are telecast. Also, I have no idea if it will be the Kings feed or the Clippers feed that will be shown on LP, so even if the festivities are at half-time, I may not get them.

So, someone please please please tape the festivities for me. I will gladly pay for the tape and the shipping so that I can see it.

That's great!! Happy Anniversary to the Sacramento Kings! :)

Eddie House and Matt Barnes was in the Clippers last season. So if they do play, I hope they play well!

I hope Cuttino plays a few mins, I really want to see him live in a Kings uniform.

GO KINGS!!
 
Well lets hope Mobley and Bradley get some playing time ... last night Christie was on the bench all game as the Magic's were getting handled by Rip Hamilton. i think the coach was too stuborn to put him in , i hope if we struggle Adelman does put in one of those guys...
 
All the stuff I have heard on Bradley is that the guy is good. I have seen Cat play a lot but never Bradley. Word is he just never got enough playing time and he's much better than his stat line.
 
As much as I like the kings,I've liked the clippers for awhile now.
This is a tough match-up for me I wonder Who I want to win :D!?
I guess im cheering on the clippers ^_^.
Go clippers show that the kings are weaklings and cant stop corey maggette!!!

Wrong board dude, Kittles will manage to screw things up anyways LOL.

Seriously though, I've got 3 hours 47 minutes to gametime, anyone have an "inside scoop" as to whether Mike will play or not?

I think its a game time decision. I am not sure.
 
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 :mad: ).

What is UP with that anyway? You'd think they could credit assists properly.

I gues if You are rookie - you are not worthy of anything.

Bottomline - he knows it was an assists, We know it was one.

He will have a long NBA career (hopefully). There will be many more assists. That one will not really matter.

What's the significance of 1/15? I checked and the Kings' first game was on 10/25/85.
 
I don't think it's so much the exact date. I think they just decided that this would be a good game to kick off the 20th anniversary celebrations. My personal and totally unsubstantiated idea is that they looked at the January schedule before the season started and decided this was arguably the easiest home game the Kings would have in January. ;)

I read in the Bee that they were doing something at halftime tonight, but does anyone know if someone is going on before the game other than the autograph session that started at 2:00? I'm going so that's why I ask. Thanks.

In that case, maybe they picked this game in particular since the Kings' first game in Sacramento was also a home contest vs the Clipps.

Yes, that is exactly what I heard.....

i feel you man, i live in los angeles and love the clippers to death.... back when they sucked i used to root for them to beat the kings but now.... they just beat seattle and miami, 2 teams that the kings havent beaten. they beat seattle twice this season..... this should be good. go.... which ever team wins, hopefully dallas, phoenix and minny lose tonight.

Like there needs to be a reason to don the retros anymore. ;) I hate any attempt by the NBA to bastardize its past. Mr. Stern: Step away from the retros!
 
Phoenix lost, time to make a run at this pacific division starting tonight.
 
I don't think the clippers have it in em. They don't have a point guard and if Bibby plays it will be a mismatch with brunson playing point for LA. I've heard rumor of Kittles starting at point but that would be even worse for them IF Bibby plays.Webb will "contain" Brand, Mobley will have his hands full with Magette, and Peja should own Bobby Simmons. And Miller on Kaman? C'mon, forgetta bout it, this one's in the bag.
