piksi
Hall of Famer
First of all let me say that I personally do not care much about the game tonight. Honestly, we play LA on Thursday and Vlade will be there on the wrong side in the wrong uniform (also ugly as hell ). That is plane and simple wrong. It is much much bigger than a bucks game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pedja is not playing which changes things. Let's hope he will play on Thursday. Unfortunately, I still remember the home game against Bucks. That was brutal. This game will be much better. The question is - how good is the end result going to be.
I was hoping the bucks would forefit due to the lack of personel but I guess Brad and Greg did not aim well enough
.
I will go with Kings tonight because I predicted a 8 game winning streak even though Pedja's absence changes things. It is not as much that Pedja is not playing - it is that there is NOBODY any good on that position left. Anyone misses Hedo/ J.J even Wallace ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We may actually rebound better tonight. We will not have another 24 TO night. We will also have more FTA than the Bucks. If You like 2 man game - this is Your night. All night long.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CW will score 30 + tonight ( 25-30 shots ) He will not have tripple double. He will act as PG at least once tonight ( grab rebound.. dribble the ball upcourt ...) He will have at least 5 TOs
Bibby - does not have to pass to Pedja tonight ( so basically same old for Mike). He might get very close to a tripple double. He will continue to suck defensively
DC - will bounce back from recent performances. I predict double double here
Brad - will remain in the hunting mode ( game is game - deers / bucks). It is a small transition between 4 legged vs. 2 legged but Brad does not seam as a picky guy. I predict a double double and the best fg % of all Kings players
SF - we might as well play a man down. All we can get is hustle which everybody on this forum could provide. There is no talent whatsoever on this position. I would actually gamble and play Flash as SF tonight. RA will not
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bobby will be needed more than usual. He will attempt 15 + shots but will shoot less than 50%. He will not foul out tonight
Greg - similar to Brad with less minutes and production. He should get more minutes generally.
Darius will be Darius
Rest of the bench - (God help us). I hope GP is working on that because it is not looking pretty. Maybe Mateen can give them some pointers on how to wave the towel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a good situation for RA. He can shorten the rotation to 7.25. Expect at least 3 players to play 40 + and another 2 to play 35 + minutes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bucks need a win desperately. Their chances just increased. They will have one player less to guard. I expect Van Horn to have a good game. Mason will kill us on the offensive board. They will still lose because there is a difference in talent.

Go Sonics !
