Some of you may have noticed that I have been gone a while; Shall we call me back and better than ever? Probably not in a sports journalism sense, but I do feel greatly improved in other ways. I don't know if I can make a consistent run at these right away, but I'll sure try to inform if not entertain
The Kings and Suns are two mediocre teams in the middle of a shortened season clashing with nothing to lose, (or gain, really). The implications are limited. What can we gather from a win by either of these clubs? A simple W or L, and that's about it. I don't believe that any great mystery will be solved, any epiphany will be bestowed upon us, or that the basketball powers of the The Big O will be hefted upon Tyreke Evans as he charges down the lane.
With all that said, I predict a well matched game between a Suns team that has had much recent home success, and a Kings team that seems to have found some fight. The Suns have been changing their game lately, all of a sudden they want to play some D. "The Suns have held their last five opponents to 91.4 points per game on 42.0 percent shooting, including 27.6 percent from 3-point range." (source, ESPN.com) Should we get involved in a mire with the Phoenix Suns I will have missed quite a bit of NBA transition indeed.
Key matchup: Cousins Vs. Gortat (Will Cousins and Gortat face off? Call me on it if they don't). I fully expect Cousins to eat Gortat's fancy gluten free bagel that Steve Nash probably hands out before every game.
I would like to establish different awards and stuff, so I'll kinda come back to the thread and look for suggestions.
GO KINGS!
