It is very early but I will be on the road tomorow so...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many NBA games going on tonight so let's hope that kings can "win" some by not playing. It sounds very pathetic but it is what it is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A basketball game consist of 4 quarters. In the past we had such a talented team, which needed only a quarter ot two to take care of business. We can not do that at the moment. Last night we played solid for 3 quarters and it was not enough.
Also, energy makes difference sometimes. You need to have it when the game starts - not 20 minutes later. In times where every game counts down the strech - You just can not afford not to "be there"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that it is tome to change the starting line up. K9 is playing so well - we need to use that from the start. Darius will be fine coming from the bench. Also that could help to avoid the situation where Williamson has to play center. That lineup is just ugly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We lost a game yesterday that we should have won. We just did not play well down the strech. Also we got killed by 2 players who usually play us well. the problem is that they used to play on different teams. Now they are in our division
. Fact is that our guards do not defend well nor do they even try it consistantly. We get killed on a guard penetration night in and night out. Do not see that changing any time soon. And we really miss Bobby here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There were times when we looked forward to play Clippers. Times sure change. We really need that game tomorow. Badly. It will be a close one again. Maybe - just maybe Pedja Mike and Catino can play well in the same game at the same time. We sure can use it. We need a good start. Rebounding will be heuge. Also we need to get to the line more - somehow. We did not have one FT in the first half last night.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike - he just has to matter more than he did last night. He is hurting and tired and he usualy does not defend even when he is not. Mike always bounces back.
Pedja - missed his last 6 shots last night. Had a good first half and it went down hill from there. Played good defense for the most part of the game. Last minut of the game turned ugly. We need more here.
Mobley - he tried yesterday. Have no idea why he did not get more touches down the strech. Hope he continues to be hot.
Skinner - As long as we do not run offense trough him - he will do a great job simply because his strengths are the mirror image of our weaknesses.
Thomas - I hope he starts but either way he has played well lately on both ends.
Darius - needs to go back to being Darius
Evans - has been solid for the minutes that he gets. Still little out of control out there.
Corliss - did not play that much. I was hoping that we could use him more than we do
House - Some night good some not so good. Bobby come back soon please.
Martin - seams to be forgotten and buried on the very deep end of the bench.
Tag - he does not even have a space on the bench (size related). Earlier in the season - he was cheering better too,
Daniels - DNP CD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
RA - could use his time outs better. 2 away from 700 - hopefully he can get it on Sunday.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clippers - do not even get me started here. We have to expect them to play well, shoot like never before and some "noname" to improve his career bests.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well tonight - Lakes lost, Wolves too but Grizzlies won. Rocketts are being killed by Celtics. Spurs will win and so will the Nuggets and Sonics. Tight game in Phoenix but that one does not influence us that much.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go Bobcats!! (Dallas)
