If you've ever seen the commercial for the Kings store with Slamson and the Royal Court Dancers, there's a new version. Instead of the RCD, Tag is the one doing the "swim." LOL!!!!!

VF I'm just piping in cuz it's a break ... but I know you saw C-Webb already has 10 boards thats only 40 per 48 min! I wish we had a "good" rebounder on our team, since C-webb isn't one.

[VF21]

In passing, I think Grant was off about Webber's legs being tired. I think, if anything, he simply went short on a couple of jumpers because he didn't really set up.

 

[VF21]

Pedja leading all scorers with 15. Webber with a double-double already under his belt could easily have a triple-double before the night is over if his teammates cooperate and sink some buckets off his passes.

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!

 

[VF21]

Kings not doing too well from the perimeter are still in this game because of second-chance points. Which is a PLUS!!

This is the fourth game in five nights ON THE ROAD. I don't care if this game is pretty or the ugliest game ever played. I just want a KINGS win to finish off the road trip. In addition, I would LOVE to see the Kings come out in the third quarter, which they sometimes do, with a LOT of focus. If they put a strong run out there to start the second half, it will most likely totally demoralize the Hornets and the fans.
