Foxsports Praising the Kings again?

[Padrino]

okay im having a brain fart who do they have that use to be a King?

hehe....lol.



i apologize. for some reason i read "wizards" as "magic." dunno why. maybe it has to do with the idea that wizards use magic or something.

^yeah i thought maybe you were thinking of the Bobcats cuz of Gerald Wallace but i was sitting here scratching my head thinking of who the other guy was...but i totally understand the confusion between the Wizards and the Magic...there is definetly logic to that...lol

Not sure what Padrino meant...The only ex-Kings player I found that's in the Wizards now it Anthony Peeler.
http://www.nba.com/wizards/roster/index.html The rest are younger players.

But the Wizards have 3 players that once all played together in the Warriors: Arenas, Hughes and Jamison.

yeah lol...thats what i thought of when Padrino mentioned the former kings players on the Wizards...i was thinking "the wizards are more like an ex Warrior convention than anything else"

but i did completely for get about Anthony Peeler...i think its cuz i keep thinking he's plays for the Bucks...lol...i think its cuz AP and Mike James remind me of the same person and Mike James left Detroit and went to Milwaukee

but i do feel a lot better now that we got that all straightened out...it was killin me trying to think who that the former kings players were...i was too lazy to go to nba.com and look it up for myself

It be nice to take this credit, if the rest of the article wasn't full of such dumb ideas as "the Sonics have no inside presence". Really? Has this guy watched the Sonics? That's exactly what seperates them from the Suns, they have bruisers.

And also:

Give Mike Fratello the Coach of the Year Award if the Grizz make the playoffs, but don't be surprised when they get swept in the first round.

Memphis has ridiculous depth and plays great D, but the Grizzlies lack those go-to types that are critical in the playoffs when so many possessions come down to the final five seconds on the shot clock.

This is true of Gasol, who is not someone I would give the ball to late, but the Grizzles scare me and they do have people who can create and take shots in JWill and Bonzi Wells. Wells one season was THE man in Portland at the end of games. The Grizzlies problem is they give it to Gasol and all I've ever seen him do is take bad shots and turn it over at the end of games. He may be their main guy, but at the end of a game players like Wells, Mike Miller and Williams have shown they are more suited for the situation.

I think he was merely saying what I ahve said in other threads -- mephis lacks an unstoppable star guy to take that pressure shot EVERY time. They don't know who they are going to go to. That's never been the formula for playoff success. They could upset a shaky team (even us perhaps), but they are unlikely to be doing any serious damage until they find a true stud who can't be shut down and can be counted on to be great every time out.
