Kings corner: It's time to take action to save the season
Diary with Corliss Williamson
Published 2:15 am PST Sunday, February 26, 2006
There was a lot of disappointment after that loss to the Lakers. We continue to play well at home, but in order for us to start making a move on the playoffs, we have to start playing well on the road.
Thursday was the trade deadline, and it wasn't any different from any other deadline day. You know there always is a possibility that something can go down. I tried to treat it like every other day, but you keep your cell phone on in case something happens. I was sorry to see my bench-mate (Brian Skinner) go. We usually kept each other sane over there.
If we go on this next (five-game) East Coast road trip and perform the way we have in the past (7-19 road record), we'll come home in a deeper hole than we started in.
To me, it's beyond conversation. We've talked all season about how we need to approach games, and three-fourths of season is gone, and we're still talking.
It's time to do what we need to do. It's got to be a team effort. You can have one person try to lead, but if nobody follows, it's not going to work, and it's too much to ask of one person. We all have to take responsibility.
