If so, it may take all your belief and lucky charms for the Kings to walk out of Orlando with a win.

Orlando has Hedo and Dwight Howard, just to name two reasons the Kings aren't going to have an easy night of it. But it's more than that - the Kings have Kevin Martin, who has been consistent only in his inconsistency and a bench that suddenly looks apathetic and even anorexic at times.

Reggie Theus was not happy about yesterday's win and you can't blame him. Scott Howard-Cooper in the Bee may have said it best when he said the Kings finally accepted the inevitable and quit fighting for the loss. That's not what coaches or fans want to see ... or hear.

Our thoughts are with Gerald Wallace, and we hope he's better soon. Accidents like that on the court serve as reminders of just how dangerous this sport we love can be to those who play it.

The PBP thread is here.

The game discussion thread is here.

Remember, this is another early game with tipoff scheduled for 3 p.m. PST.

Let's get ready for some Kings basketball!!

GO KINGS!!!
 
They may have Hedo and Howard, but we have Artest and Miller. If that doesn't work we can throw in 23ppg Kevin Martin at them. We beat them in Sacramento without Artest and Martin (also without Bibby but, that don't matter now). Yes Rashard lewis had a big game against Slamons and Moore lets see how he does against Ron Ron.
 
I am about as "rah, rah - Go Kings" as they come....but did you just compare Miller to Howard?

Miller is averaging 16/13/4/1.1 in his last 10, and this comparison is about tonight's game, not the next 10 years. Howard may be the best big man of his generation, but Brad's effectiveness as of late has been undeniable.
 
Let Howard score 20/10 but let him score it from the free throw line. I expect the Kings to hack, push, rake, anything to keep Howard on the charity stripe and out of the paint. Don't worry about the penalty because the rest of their players are jump shooters and won't get to the line that much. Lastly, despite Howard they are a team that lives and dies by the 3. Contest a few shots from range and let them get into a 3 point funk. Do these and the Kings will win the game.
