The heart and hustle, energy and excitement of the Kings is back, IMHO. This is fun to watch, not because they're championship material but because they're back to being the kind of team that won my heart back a long time ago...

They're talking about Kevin Martin, his stamina and resilience and how, with Artest coming back and Udrih now on board, hopefully Martin's minutes will go down a little.
