The one thing I am NOT worried about is Pedja having good nights during the regualr season. The team is still honeing it's offense and with Brad at the 5 instead of Vladie the person who is MOST effected by the change is Pedja. They are both smart profesionals and Adelaman does know how to run a fluid offense, so things will smooth out for Pedja. I also suspect that Pedja needed more than a few games to shake off the off season rust. He was starting to look a lot like his old self before brusing his hand in Memphis. In short no worries here Pedja WILL have somebig games shortly.

Pejas funk

I know he really is off on his shooting % this year, but whose the leading scorer on the Kings this year again? It's also funny that Peja got so much grief for his rebounding last year when he was over 6 a game for most of the year (he ended the year at 5.5). I guess he decided that he might as well not try, if he was getting trashed for Good rebounding #'s anyways! He had an off night but in the stat before the game they showed, he was shooting over 50 % and almost 26 ppg in the last three games. I think it was just way to easy a game against an undermanned team. I mean that game was painful to watch, does anyone else think Mikes ankle might be hurting him more than he's letting on?

No, he ended the year at 6.3 rpg. Anyways, I don't know what the matter with him is, he just doesn't box out. He's big and strong enough to box out but he doesn't.

Peja's rebounding didn't change a bit last year from years previous -- just got more minutes. In any case, he's always been weak on the boards. But there is weak-and-we-can-deal, and then there is worst-SF-in-the-league weak. I really don't know what his problem is this year, but it is really hurting us.
