NICE end to the quarter by the Kings who will NOT go gently into the good night, to steal a line from Dylan Thomas.
The effort and energy being shown by the Sacramento Kings is electrifying. The fans feel it, and I feel it. I hope I'm conveying at least a little of it to those of you who may be reading my humble attempts...
This is what was so much fun way back in the first days of the Sacramento Kings. They may not have won a ton of games but they were a TEAM and if this group can recapture some of that excitement and fun, it will once again be truly a good night out at Kings games.
Martin miss; Garcia with the o-board. Still Kings ball.
Cisco, Douby, Martin, KT and Greene on the court for the Kings. Gotta give Salmons a few minutes of rest.

Not sure what went on between Reggie and Mikki, but it's clear Theus is in control of the team and he's not going to brook any kind of insubordination by his players during the game. I LIKE IT... and the players sure seem to be responding positively to a strong coaching hand. Hey, it's worked for Gregg Popovich. Grant and Jerry are talking about how Reggie communicates with the players, they know where they stand and they're reacting accordingly.
