Kings on a winning streak, 4-4 after the trade going into final 20 games of the regular season which is proving to be anything but boring and it does not look like it is going to change.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at the western conference only 3 teams are safe to make PO and the rest could be anywhere from 4-10. I am not saying this because I think that Kings might miss it. Kings will be there. I am saying it to illustrate how important each and every game is from now on. You want to avoid bad losses at all cost.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
While we made the last game more exciting than it needed to be - there was still enough of the positive stuff which can encourage for the imediate future. If somebody told me that Kings would win a game while shooting 36% and scoring 85 pts - well ... There are words like defense
used inm Kings vocabulary. Players in Kings uniform get rebounds, block shots. A surreal situation - a twilight zone. If we can continue with that - we will be in every game and that is all we can ask for. Down side - If Your heart is weak - You might want to stay away from the games.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tes, Kings had a practice. That should be a headline on CNN (better than most of their garbage). Must be strange for RA. He was thinking something like who are all of this people ? Never seen so many at once around here . Another good news is that there were no injuries during the practice. You never know.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We play Clipers tonight. While they will not make PO - they can beat anybody anywhere. It would be a bad loss. We get Mobley back and it will be interesting to see how that will change the dynamics.I hope he will not be too aggressive to struggle. I hope that Evans get enough minutes despite. Also Mike & Pedja are due or even overdue for a good shooting night. Kaman has been torturing us and tonight it will be very interesting to see wheather this trend will continue with Skinner, Thomas and Darius in there. can we keep Magette of the FT line (probably not).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike - due for a good shooting night. I hope he will not fall asleep defensively again late in the game
Pedja - while it is great to see his effort defensively - he needs to get in rythm and soon. If Pedja continues to be mentioned m,ostly for defense - Kings will go nowhere. Also he is playing insane minutes here.
Mobley - hopefully he can get in and help out with scoring without forcing it too much. Are we in for another "turnover night" again ?
Skinner - has been great. Even hit some FTs. Also our team was so bad in area of his strengths that he instantly looks like an all star.
Darius - If he wants to keep his spot - he needs to be more consistant.
Thomas - I assume - he is back tonight. Also played well for us. Just keep it up.
Williamson - had a rough one on Tuesday. Will be better tonight.
House - been solid for his role. Will keep his minutes. I still can not wait to get Bobby back.
Tag - has a nice stint but did not play 2nd half. Tonight he will get back to "mateen"
House - with Mobley back - bench is waiting again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RA - has a dilemma. Let's hope he finds a right mix tonight. I would not mind seing Evans ans Mobley splitting the minutes. Also he needs to rest Pedja and Mike more. Other than that - he is doing all he can.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clippers - I have a feeling that Kaman will NOT "kill" us tonight. On the other hand there is always one opponent that "gets his" against us.

Go Bulls !!!!!!! (Sonics)
Go Suns !!!!!!!!!!!(Rockets)
Go Magic!!!! (Wolves)
Go Bucks!!! (Mavs)
