Our only hope is to keep our starters in and hope their legs don't fall of.

PEJA FOR THREE!!!!!

47-36 Kings

 

[VF21]

Palacio starts to drive inside. Is met by SAR who convinces him it's not a good idea to try and drive the lane.

51-39 Kings

Bibby almost loses the ball; goes to the floor to cover it and calls time out.

20 second time out.

Our starters are looking great. Now if they don't melt from exhaustion. I wouldn't want to be one of the bench players during the half...

 

[VF21]

Utah can't convert... and end of first half.

 

[VF21]

During the half-time summaries, Tag is making Kara and Koz laugh - both on and off camera.

The Peja story - part 3 - was still more of the same. Propaganda to make us feel closer but it simply doesn't work. The only really heart-warming part so far has been the clips of Peja with his son.

 

[VF21]

Bench points: Utah 26, Kings 2

That is so far beyond unacceptable as to be almost unfathomable.

I think, at the most, Adelman can only allow ONE bench player on the court at a time with the starters. And I want to see Corliss out there at least part of the time.

 

[VF21]

Elston Turner says they're not going to put the entire bench in at the same time again...
