First of all - I will not be able to post a game thread for the Sunday's game vs. Lakers because I have to take a "nice" drive so I can get in an area which actualy gives a Kings broadcast. Because of that - I will not have any acces to internet. It would be nice if someone can do it for me either Saturday night or Sunday morning. Can not be hard considering who we play. THANKS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next order of business - in the name of all Kings fans who will not be able to see the game on Sunday - I just want to say that
ABC SUCKS AGAIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With 6 to go Kings magic number is still 2 because our opponents did not feel like helping us. Does not matter because we will do it by ourselves and very soon too. I think that Kings can still win 50 but it will require some serious effort. 50 would be enough for the 5th seed. Everything after that will depend on many many things. Also let's hope that we will remain at least as healthy as we are at the moment.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can we get some consistancy please ! This team has enough talent to play better than .500. It is more than capable. Unfortunately, something always get "lost in translation". For some unexplainable reasons for periods of time Kings stop running their game. They go away from their strengths. All this has happened before. The difference is that with current talent level - the margin of error is 0. Also we had more "bad losses" this season than the usual. 50 wins would be great finish of a wierd and very unusual season
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, Sonics did not sweep us. Pretty well played game in which Kings won all 4 quarters and dominated pretty much everything. Effort was there, sense of urgency was there. Basically, Kings wanted to win that game - and that is usually when Kings win it. DFF did not injure anybody and did not damage any ARCO property.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight, we play Portland. Joel Przybilla's career numbers are - 19 pts, 22 reb and 8 blocks. If You don't know why I posted this numbers - You might be a brand new Kings fan - so WELCOME. If You don't know against which team Joel achieved most of them - You need to find something else to do.
Good news is that NVE will not play. Portland sucks and they will only win if we do not "show up." We need to control their guards not named Telfart and the rebounding. I wouls be shocked if we don't win this fairly easy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike - I am mostly concerned that Damon does not go off for 50 or something. Mike will give us what he can. Hopefull he can shoot better.
Pedja - Patterson is waiting. Pedja had some really great games in Portland. If he start aggressive - Ruben or no Ruben - Kings will win
Mobley - good game, bad game, good game , .... Obviously, it is great when he is on but he does get us out of the rythm from time to time by taking shots outside out flow. Needs to be better at sharing ball.
Skinner - will see how he does against a all NBA caliber player like Joel.
Thomas - can the quarters 2,3,4 ba as good as 1st ? Very solid otherwise.
Darius - looking somewhat better but still too many fouls in a very short period of time.
House - nice, very nice.
Evans - still very inconsistant. Great moments and horrible mental mistakes inside seconds. You have to love the effort.
Corliss - who knows what he will give us at any given night ?
Tag - nobody knows why Tag is not playing more - and I mean nobody
Martin and Daniels - could get to play again if Kings play a serioud game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RA - I gave up on understanding why Tag is not playing. It is just an waste of energy for me. His substitution pattern at the end of the last game made m,e wonder wheather - he is OUT OF HIS MIND? Who knows what is going on with that hamster in that head ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portland - no NVE is a releif. Joel and Damon "enjoy" playing us. You add another X - factor and we could be in trouble.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Go Nuggets!!! (wolves)
Go Heat!!!! (grizzlies)
Suns play Warriors
Lakers play Sonics
but those 2 games do not really matter
