Getting ready for the second half.

Well, I don't know if "ready" is the right word. Phoenis is definitely playing at a faster speed. I just don't think we have the tools in the chest to get the job done...

But I'm not giving up.

GO KINGS!!!
 
We are leading in one category - we have one more rebound than they do...

;)

Grant says "Coach may have to get creative with his bench before this is over..."

Okay, I have a question. How creative can he get? The only players who haven't seen the court are Mo Taylor, whom I'm not even sure is there, and Vitaly. If I could pick one team that would make Vitaly look even more useless than he already is, it would have to be the quick-moving Suns. Potapenko would look like a statue carved in stone out there next to them...

Sorry, folks, but this one is all over except for the determination of the final score. I'm going to shut off my computer and watch the rest from the couch, where I can hide my head under the pillow. The Kings just don't have the manpower to compete with the upper echelon teams.

GO KINGS!!!
