Oops. that should be 82-73 KINGS

Kings with the steal, time winding down. Douby with the ball, wide open but he doesn't see the shot clock and doesn't get the shot off before the buzzer. If I have any BIG complaint about Douby, it's that he does not pay attention to the time on the court. It's irritating now; if we were contenders it would be maddening beyond all description. If he's playing point guard he MUST see it all - and react accordingly.

End of the third quarter
