Well? How 'bout that coaching staff?
If the Kings bring the end of game energy they displayed against Dallas into Houston we may have another shot at .500. If you guys watched the same game I did, then you saw four guys play with energy the entire game (If not, get your parallel universe out of mine you space invader.) Evans, Thompson, Noc, and Beno. Hawes and Donte, you're grounded. Wait, maybe that was the problem, huh?
Oh, and let's just get it out of the way: Drew Gooden is the greatest rebounding machine that ever graced an NBA floor in history. Should have known better than to let that guy go.

Well, Tyreke Evans almost stole the spotlight from Jennings tonight. He was 3 rebounds away from a triple double. The last King that had a triple double was Brad Miller back in 2007. The only part of Evans's game that is a knock against him (as far as hoity toity analysts are concerned, because I could really care less as long as he's making shots) is his penchant for dominating the ball in big time moments. He wavers. He looks tired, then he sucks it up and resumes his big time play. I hope he has some left in the tank for the Rockets. If I know Adelman, they're gonna try to run him into the ground early.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The good (or bad) news is, Tracy Mcgrady will not play in this one either. Trevor Ariza has stepped right in and helped this limping Rockets team to a 7-6 record very quietly. There is no star on this Houston team, so they play tough every night. Right after we layed the wood into them they turned around and beat the Lakers in L.A. two days later. They were probably angry. Expect our King's to have a pound of flesh extracted in this one, this will probably be a revenge thing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Award time:
TDM- Gooden for channeling the great Bill Russell. Somebody wasn't paying attention in the first quarter, and I'm glad they picked up on him because he could have easily nabbed 30 rebounds at his early ungodly rate.
LW-VC- Quinton Ross, too bad Donte didn't show up. This would have been the difference right here.
JHA- Buckets didn't score no buckets! Whatup with that Buckets?! Man, Buckets, you was weak tonight. Weak.
RA&1- Jose Juan Barea doesn't even look like he belongs in the league. He gets this for distracting me with his slowness. Ugh.
SAR- Methuselah- Tim Thomas. I thought this guy retired or something. He got 11 on us from the bench, but he is 32 years old... (reaching, I know)
WTF moment(s) of the game- The final minute. WHY didn't they play that way throughout the game?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Piksi the pessimistic prognosticator predicted (nice, huh?) that we fall below .500 against the Mavs. Realistically, I can't see us doing any better against the Rockets. Not on the second night of a back to back following a close game. But hey, it should be fun anyway. Let's see more energy, GO KINGS!!!
