Hall of Famer
Kings as expected lost to the Spurs and dropped to 31-37 for the season and 10-25 on the road. Kings had their mini winning streak snapped and tomorrow night they will try to avoid a losing streak in Memphis.Kings are still 13th worst in the NBA and that will not change so it is one thing less to worry about. Kin gs are on the 3 game road trip in the Southwest division with a game in Memphis tomorrow and visit to Houston on Monday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
With so called March madness not many people even care for NBA games that are supposed to be good. Surely no one wants to watch Kings. It make sense. Everyone would rather watch a pathetic college team score 29 points in a game while allowing 70 than a game where professionals play. Even the worst NBA game is higher quality than the best college game. Not even close. And yet one can't even turn TV on without being annoyed by all this hype. Very overrated. Even a solid euroleague team would beat this college teams. It is like watching summer league basketball.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since we are playing in Memphis - I have to take some time to express my admiration for the worst front line in history of the NBA. Darko, Jason and Kwarme only miss Mikki to play bridge
. It takes skills to acquire such assets. Grizzlies are already playing in front of their closest family members and couple of friends that they have left. Now You add this overwhelming talent and it isn't even fair. Now, their college team wouldn't be much worse than Grizzlies. They would probably score more than 29 but still lose by 40.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To be fair - our front line isn't anything to brag about especially since Brad is hurt. They way that he has been playing as of late together with Mikki and Sheldon & Spencer in limited minutes - tomorrow should be a blast. At least Hakeem Warrick will have a field day. You take Darko and Kwarme out and most of those other guys were really good college players. Just one more example how big the difference is.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Since our owner(s) expressed desire to keep Ron Artest - his faith as a King is seals. He will join Webber, Pedja & co - who found out painfully what it really means. Generally, it doesn't even matter what they are saying now with season winding down and us going nowhere. The summer will be long and painful and we will hear many fairy tales even more than we did until now. In fact - if there is a big enough masochist amongst us to keep a "diary" about things like that and report it after the summer break - we should be entertained.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As expected - we had no shot in San Antonio. Spurs played well enough to never give us a shot of winning. We did okay for most of the game but against their defense - we looked clueless and hopeless on offense shooting less than 39%. We couldn't stop them enough and we had 11 assists on 11 turnovers. The most surprising stat is the one that says how they shot FTs better than us. We will play them again at ARCO in the 2 last day of the regular season and if we are healthy - it will be a different game
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
AWARD TIME
Vaughn of all people won the TDM for his 11/7 which might even be his game of the season but then again - A.J. was on the other side
LW-VC went to Flopibili because he usually goes for 25+ against us.
Brad gets JHA for hid pathetic performance - hurt or not
WTF moment of the game - the way that Kevin was utilized all night
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grizzlies are next and they haven't won much since they beat us last time. They just beat the Knicks and have a chance for a rare winning streak.It is a game between the thirds best and the second worst lottery team ot on other words - the game that no one cares for. All 15 fans are expected to attend unless Grizzlies go up 20 just like the last time. In that case the other 10000 will show up too. Since they beat us over a month ago they only won 3 more games but they have won 2 out of the last 3 so that pretty much means - they are hot. We will see the battle of titans on the front lines and 250+ point as it is expected that all defense will be called illegal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beno - get well soon
Brad - take a break
Ron - almost gone
Kevin - one day soon they will give You the ball
Mikki - well ...
Kids need to play more'
Dinosaurs need to play less.
Coach T - let the kids play - You aren't getting to .500 this season
------------------------------------------------------------------
Memphis @ 17-51 and 12-22 at home is having a great season helping the lakers to suck less and helping themselves to suck beyond describable. They have won 2 games in March already which is twice as many as they did in February but then again February is shorter. Their best player is Gay as in Rudy Gay. Miller has been good and he hasn't have a triple double in a while. Warrick will kill us. Navarro will win the TDM. LW-VC will go to gay. Rest of the awards will be split by the trio fantastico. I can see us lose this one.
