For the last time..
Look you say your a Kings fan and so am I, so we shouldn't be fighting over stupid stuff , but in your first post you said the Kings prob couldn't beat Phoenix in a seven game series. That's a little pessemistic isn't it? You say you've been watching this team a long time and I believe you, but you have to see their point of attack has always been(since they've been contenders) a big skilled frontline right? I would say to you, and I know that as a Kings fan you would agree, that Brad and Chris is the most offensively skilled 4/5 combo in the league ... passing, shooting offensive awareness etc. They are also when you compare them to the other "contenders" a pretty good rebounding tandem. They get .2 less rebounds a game than Tim and Rasho, They get .1 more rebounds a game than Ben and Sheed, They get 1.3 more rebs than Jermaine and Croshere and even though the T-wolves have Garnett who is a freak(he gets 15 a game) --they only get 1.5 more rebounds a game. If you've seen all the games (I'm assuming you have). I know you've seen Chris is more mobile/athletic this year than last, and seems to be (for now) getting smoother at making those inside moves and finishing them , like he did against Garnett. Brad can also shoot better than any center in the West ,except maybe Yao, but Brad deff has more range , and he also can put it on the floor and get a layup(sometimes) or draw a foul(more often) and get to the line. Believe me scoring is not a problem for these two or for the Kings as a whole who started out in the 20's in total offense (after the texas triangle), and have moved up to 4th already. This is a team that can score in the halfcourt, don't worry about that. Whether it's an elbow jumper or a jump hook, or layup,(not too many dunks) it will be there. The only real question is in the playoffs will Peja come through and be able to consistently make his shot like bobby and bibby have been able too? If I came off as a jerk I apologize but it's bad enough for the rest of league to underate our front line, than to have our own fans do it. Don't listen those King haters down there I think they are influencing you a little. If we keep it up , we got a shot. Peace --KP
