Don't Make Me Use The Bat
And just when you thought it could not get any worse....
And as an aside, this loss did it -- at 8-27 this Kings crew has now officially gotten off to the worst start through 35 games of any Kings team ever. Worse than the 23-59 1990 crew, the 24-58 1988 crew, the 25-57 1991 and 1993 crews...any of them. You have just seen history. Don't you feel privileged?
Alrighty, here we go, and in honor of this momentous occasion, one of the posters in the game thread unwittingly suggested the only possible appropriate theme: Its KT's World, and We Just Live In It:
Cisco ( C+ ) -- got the start again just for the heck of it, and lasted less than 6 minutes while we looked awful again. Then Kevin came in and never let him return. Finally joined the fray in the late 3rd, hitting a couple of side jumpers off of drive and kicks. Having no luck at all slowing Carter though. In as a backup PG late after Natt apparently wasn't happy with any of his other options and started having everyone except for KT (like MJ before him, two initials are all it takes) bring it up. You see the Nets were without Harris after half (hamstring) so the strategy looked almost semi-viable. Almost. Resulted in an awesome 16 point 4th quarter and another late collapse, although Cisco was as good as anybody during that stretch of experimentation, and certainly better than the Kevin PG stint.
President KT
Moore ( C- ) -- started off the game very active and apparently wanting to get physical with Yi for some reason, which doesn't exactly qualify you as eat nails tough. And yet it seemed to backfire as Yi, who is S-O-F-T, surprised everyone in the arena by apparently becoming pissed off and proceeding to kick our collective asses all over the court, Mikki's included of course. I don't think Mikki was actually expecting resistance, because he went away fast, and with the totally awesome spectacle that was Kenny Thomas's return to action, lost almost all of his second half minutes as well.
KT Enshrined
Miller ( C+ ) -- very effective in the first quarter with his passing, repeatedly setting up Mikki and the guards. Did not hit his own shots, but useful for breaking the zone with his passing. Never led to anything in particular though, and after half was basically not effective. In fact our best center of the night might have been...Kenny Thomas. Gulp. Play down the stretch, let's see how should I put this...oh yes, it sucked. Threw up an airball, got into with the refs again (the beef may have been legitimate this time but damnit man, grow a pair and play through it for once), and of course got himself the technical, because he's an idiot. At least waited this time until our crappy late game play had already eliminated any chance of victory before adding the icing on the cake.

Not nearly as effective in his return in the 4th, and yet Natt still had him in there playing the entire quarter as we died away. Normally I would call that stupid. But this was Kenny Thomas we are talking about, so all is forgiven. I mean, what would we be without Kenny?
