Buzzer sounds. End of the first half.

Hawes leads all scorers with 16 points.

Half-time entertainment consists of three members of the Dance Team modeling three potential new outfits for fans to vote on. Of the three, one looks like they should be working the corners of 3rd and T (if you don't know what that means, ask someone old), another looks like something a first-year home ec student might make and one doesn't suck too badly.

I'm so relieved to learn that marketing hasn't gotten any smarter.

;)
 
Reminder: The next pre-season game comes to us from Las Vegas, as the Kings face the Lakers at the Thomas-Mack Center on Sunday at 6:30 p.m.

Angela Tsai and poorly made dance team outfits? Yeah, it doesn't get much better than that.

Kings with 23 boards, 10 assists to 3 turnovers. Nice looking stat sheet for the first half. Let's hope the second half is equally entertaining.

Beno on the sidelines in street clothes, looking quite dapper. In fact, sartorially speaking, he's actually looking better than Reggie!

:p
 
Grant pointing out Kevin Durant in the OKT huddle and saying Kings fans are disappointed not to be seeing last year's ROY in action.

Um, Grant? Nope. Not true. Not at all. Don't care.

:p

OKT ball to start the second half. Miss but rebound, pass stolen by Kings. Martin pass ahead to Salmons, good for two.

Another OKT turnover; Kings ball. Brown to Hawes inside, kick back out to Brown. Miss. Collison rebound.

Mason miss but foul called on Salmons.

Mason to the line. Kings showing lots of movement on defense and I THINK I may have actually seen a hand or two in the air. Of course, it could have been an illusion. ;)

Mason misses first; makes second.

60-42 KINGS

10;00 left
 
Salmons miss; Wilkens rebound.

I'd still like to see Salmons pass a little more, but he's definitely improved his willingness to share over last year.

OKT for two.

60-44 KINGS

Moore to Martin in the corner, step back two is good.

62-44 KINGS

Mason in and out, OKT rebound but it's batted away and Brown comes up with it. To Hawes, back out to Martin and then inside to Hawes for the jam attempt but Smith is in exactly the right place and blocks it.

OKT ball. Smith for two.

64-48 KINGS

Kings ball. Smith called for the grab. 4PF. Bavetta looking REALLY old... His age spots are starting to join together...

Mason for two at the other end.

64-50 KINGS
 
Salmons for two.

66-50 KINGS

6;41 left

Watson three won't fall. Brown with the rebound. Drives inside, kicks out to wide-open Martin who misses. He might have been too open. ;)

OKT miss; Hawes rebound. Outlet pass to Salmons, who takes the quick shot and misses. Reggie might want to tell the Kings to slow it down a little and wait for the shot to come.

Petro for two.

68-61 KINGS

Foul by Petro sends Bobby J to the line.

Bobby misses first off back of rim and it comes right back to him. Someone in the crowd is talking friendly trash with Bobby and he smiles, and makes the second freebie.

69-61 KINGS

Makes first; Grant and Jerry blathering on about Candace Parker who, if you've been living in a cave, is not only Shelden Williams' fiance but also rookie of the year and player of the year for the WNBA. Westbrook makes second (I think - I looked away and they're not showing the score. I'll correct if necessary.)

Reggie calls time out.

69-64 KINGS
 
Regardless of the final score, I'm seeing what could develop into some very good team chemistry, I'm seeing unselfish play and I'm seeing focus. Now if we can just get Garcia's head into the game, we're in good shape.

Another poor shot by Garcia, OKT rebound. Cisco just isn't there mentally tonight.

OKT miss; Kings ball. Jackson brings it up court.

Garcia brings the ball upcourt as Brown streaks down the side. Kick over to Brown inside, he's crowded and loses the ball on a bad pass. OKT converts again.

75-73 KINGS

Another stupid bad pass turns the ball over yet again.

Brown, Garcia, Williams, Thompson and ? is not a successful combination.

Commerical time out...

Hawes bounce pass to Williams. Reach-in foul called on OKT.

Commercial time out.

Fans are getting restless and rightly so. Yes, we have kids out there who have lessons to learn but you can't learn anything if you're part of a horribly mismatched lineup on the court. Come on, Reggie. Put Martin back in and let the kids get a win. It will do wonders for the morale of the team AND the fans. You can do it!!
