With as poorly and lackadaisically as the Kings have been playing the last few weeks I was starting to get a little discouraged about the future of this team -- even with the young guys we have.
I'm glad to see that when properly motivated, this team CAN play hard. I understand it's difficult to get up for every game like this the rest of the season when the playoffs are just not going to happen, but I hope we can see this kind of effort more often. Tonight highlighted for me that this team DOES have a lot of talent, and a great backcourt in Martin and Udrih, a decent bench and just some overall good pieces to work with when they feel like putting forth the effort. Norm Nixon on the Laker postgame show was giving a lot of props to how talented this team is....
And... wonder how Ron will react to sitting the fourth quarter? Maybe Reggie was worried he'd re-agitated his sore foot.
