I know it is early but I will not have the access to a computer tomorow so...
After 3 days Kings have a game again. Is that a good thing ? Could go either way at this moment. Kings 0-2 but improving or so it seams. Hard to play on the road without Your best 2 players and with no bench whatsoever. Many other teams in similar situation. At least - everyone is healthy. It will be better even if it is only because it can't get much worse.
Kings are a team that needs ti find itself which will take time. After watching games trough the first week - it is very obvious that Kings have enough talent to make PO provided they stay healthy, they find themselves and somebody provides some kind of leadership. It is going to take some time.
Pedja & Mike are 2 best players we have and this team will get as far as they can carry it which might not be far at all but at least we will know. We have many more guys that can put big numbers but that will only matter if those 2 can be solid. At the moment - they suck and there is no way around it. Still there is no reason not to believe that they will figure it out and soon. While both of them have weaknesses they also have strenghts that got them to the level they are. They just have to figure it out.
We play Suns which is a good thing. We went there as an underdog and won the game that nobody expected us to. There is not reason that history shouldn't repeat itself. We couldn't deal with Suns in the preaseason but I have a feeling that thing will change. If we defend the 3 and rebound fairly well we will be OK provided Mike and Pedja show up. They have nobody inside and we should take advantage of that. Also it is a back to back for them and while it is still early in the season - they play Jazz which will be at least physical
Mike - let's hope that the season starts tonight for Mike. Was trashed by Nash in the preseaason but Mike is due. Unfortunately, no improvement should be expected on defense. Pedja - something would be nice Brad - great last game - keep it up ! Bonzi - a King with 17 rebounds - wow. Cut down TO's please SAR - very steady
Thomas/Williamson - time to say goodbye - hopefully rest of the bench - I would trade for Bobby Jackson
RA - Obviously he wasted the preseason. Instead of trying to get starters into some rythm he was doing ??? Let me know if You can explain the preseason strategy because I have got nothing there. He needs to reconsider substitution patterns because the lineup in which Thomas is the best player - sucks. At least no Corliss as a center yet.
Suns - are suns just not nearly as good as with Amare. If You can stop the 3 and rebound - You will always have a chance. Expect Nash to have a monster game. He owns Bibby lately and it will not change tonight. Can Mike attack him as well ? Marion might have a monster hame but I am more afaraid of JJ and Eddy. I can only hope that neither one of them becomes a Jon Barry reincarnation. Barbosa and Diaw might enjoy the game too.
Go Denver !!! ps. something is wierd with this new format so if any of the moderators can fix it - I would be gratefull (Consider it done, piksi! VF21)
