I never thought of that, but that is a good idea. The other interesting thing is will either, Kenny thomas or D-Song starts? If Kenny starts this is the line-up:
C - Brad Miller
PF- Kenny Thomas
SF - Corliss Williamson
SG - Cuttino Mobley
PG - Mike Bibby
Pretty good line-up, but we will know the truth starting today.

You also have to remember that Pedja was likely affected by his injuries in the previous games. (i.e. the ones where he just disappeared from). So if thats going to be the case tonight, where he uses up a bunch of minutes, takes a bunch of shots with very little return, other guys should get his playtime. I think its best that he take these days off, come back to 100% 2003-2004 form, and finish the rest of the season being the all star player he is (and stop making excuses and really bring 110% of his game everynight).
He NEEDS to show solidarity with the team whether he actually plays a significant amount of time or not. The longer he stays out of uniform the harder it's going to be. All he has to do is suit up and be honest with Adelman why he's doing it.
He needs to do it now.
The team is healing, rebonding, assimilating new members into the fold, etc. Bobby and Erik CAN'T suit up. Pedja can and he needs to, just to show he's part of the team.
When you lose a family member, which is what this most closely resembles, the remaining family members close ranks and they often times find their ties and bonds strengthened. Pedja has to be a part of that or the isolation he was reported to have felt before will be even worse.

I only hope this game can bring me some closure. I hope C-Webb plays well, but it's always Kings first. Hope Corliss and Kenny can find a rythm, no matter what we can't give up in the middle of the season, it's the Kings we are talking about here! With this team you never know who will step up. RA will be able to keep the ship afloat... Why? Because he always has in the past. Lets go Kings!
^ -Very good points VF21, in a time when leader after leader is replaced (Divac, Webber) we need someone to step up and show that they will be on that bench supporting their team no matter what (even if they don't play). But on the same note I doubt Pedja will do this, i think that he is too afraid that people will think that he got benched for an unknown reason (the serbian mentality haha).
i think the key like piksi said is rest...these guys need a rest at some point in the 3rd or so to really be fresh coming down the stretch...of late a lot of our loses are because we just wore out at the end and went flat or cold...i think the key here is Mike he is the one who REALLY needs the rest
Its gonna be both an emotional and exciting game tonight...i personally cannot wait to see it...at first i said there is NO WAY ill be able to watch the game tonight...but ive thought it over and as much as its gonna hurt seeing Chris in a Sixers uni...i still gotta support my boys
GO KING!!

As much as I hate to admit it I really want Cwebb to have a monster game and bring his new team a win! I really want him to show the Kings management what they threw away! I know there will be some who disagree, but I still feel the sting from Webbs departure so I know he feels it even more, so for his own pride I think he deserves this game. SORRY!
