2 games left on this "never ending " trip. Kings are 2-2 with a solid chance of splitting the trip which would be a solid acomplishment considering everything.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last night has proven again that any honors or respect that Kings get from the NBA or the experts or the analysts - does not come cheap for the Kings. We were picked to win in 02 and 03 and we did not for because of so many small details that all came against us. In 03 Webber was praised by everyone and he got injured in Dallas. Last Year Brad went to all star and was injured. This year CW was POM and got traded and last night Mike was POW and had his worst game of the season. I am sure there are more examples but You get the picture. That is why I would like the NBA community to please leave us the hell alone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pedja is still out with his "career threatening" hamstrinh injury. Hopefull that will change tonigh. When Pedja says that he will play - the chances of the happening are about 50%. I am not looking for excuses here because I would have tried to play as soon as the doctore clear me but I am not him so I do not know. It mught be mental. Being 100% is important. Se Bobby Jackson. Also Pedja has some not so good experiences with"coming back early" He cam back from an ankle injuty to miss a wide open three which would have meant the championship. Recently, he came back from the back injury and pulled his hamstring in the second game back. I do not know what is going trough his head but I know that he is badly needed out there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last nights game is one of the games in which nothing went right for a team. It started with the fact that the 5 guys in the suit have as much talent combined as the other 9 who played last night. Add the turnovers and the fact that Bibby was off and the chances are we will lose. Now the "vintage" Kings would not care because they were that good but these Kings are not (yet).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, while I am becoming a fan of B. Skinner - the games in which he is the leading scorer we will most likely not win. Last night proved that Kings can only get as far as Mike, Brad and Pedja carry them. With 1 out - it is hard but with 2 out the margin of error = 0.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight's game will be emotional in many ways. We play DC for the first time and Hedo id there too. Also Mobley is playing SF and should really light up Magic tonight. Magic are better team than Bobcats but so are the Kings. We are going to bounce back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike - will bounce back - that is a given. He might have trouble guarding SF but I expect Mobley to get a share of that too. Hopefully Pedja will be back to share the load.
Pedja - had enough "rest" He is needed out there and just needs to try to play. Might be rusty but will at least command a defender (DC)
Brad - if the injury is what I think it is - I do not think he will be able to play - but knowing Brad he might just prove me wrong.
Mobley - I expect a career high numbers against Magic tonight. Needs to stop turning the ball over. It is getting old.
Darius - will probably sit out the rest of the trip
Skinner - doing great so far with the exception of the free throws
Thomas - also very solid
Williamson - looks just like old Corliss. Lot's of good stuff mived with some ill-adviced plays.
Evans - currently playing himself out of the rotation.
House - well I should not have praised him so Bobby please come back soon.
Tag - As soon as Brad is back he will be able to focus compleately on the "mateen society"
Martin - will have to be patient because - there are no minutes availible at the moment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
After last nights los - should be no problem to get teams atention. Hopefully, he will g some players back tonight
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orlando have players who can get a career night but as long as non of them id SF ot GH we should be fine
