I like the comparison of Mo as "Dennis Rodman-ish" I can see him going that way...of course without the cross-dressing and crazy dyed hair.
Random Thoughts...
One thing about controversial calls in the NBA, they tend to even out. Sacramento was on the wrong end of two questionable goaltending calls last month that ended up playing a part in two losses. On Tuesday they got one back.
Immediately after Mike Bibby hit the crazy shot to win the game, Rick Adelman put his hands on his head and looked over at Mike Fratello, shrugging his shoulders as if to say, “Sorry it had to end like that.” Adelman has been on the other end of those situations and knows how bad it can feel.
Mike’s shot will go down as one of the top-three buzzer shots to end a game in Sacramento’s regular season history. The other two come via Mitch Richmond—one was an alley-oop layup pass from Billy Owens to Mitch with a second left to beat the mighty Trail Blazers at ARCOin the mid-90's. The other was a shot eerily similar to Mike’s, a bank three-pointer to beat the Warriors at the buzzer in Oakland.
The Kings offensive system is becoming the West Coast offense (football) of basketball, thanks to the success the Kings are having at making players look good. Rick Adelman and Co. are able to assimilate new players into the offense, make them look good, and also make them happy with the amount of touches they get. I’m surprised more teams haven’t copied Sacramento, ala teams copying the San Francisco 49er’s offense in the 80’s and 90’s.
Mo Evans is looking like Dennis Rodman these days, pulling down double-digit rebounds for the second straight game from the two-guard spot.
I think things can sometimes get stale even for fans, despite the team winning. These recent trades seemed to have spiced things up for the ARCO crowds, who have been more rowdier during the last two games than all season.
