Working overtime here
On November 16th 2003 Kings beat Warriors in a great game 106 – 104 to improve to 6-4 at that point of the season.. It was a very close game and Kings looked like they might lose this game but then Bobby showed up and saved the day. 6 Kings players ended in double figures lead by Pedja who had 33/11/4/1, Bibby had 13/3/4, Brad had 11/9/11 and Vlade had 11/7/5. Booby lead the bench with 16/2, Gerald had 11/8 and Darius had 8/6. Warriors shot better than 52% but it wasn’t enough.
Bobby Jackson may not be a starter, but he is a tremendous finisher. Jackson scored 12 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter, including the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 50 seconds to go, lifting the Sacramento Kings to a spirited 106-104 victory over the Golden State Warriors. The winner of the 2003 Sixth Man Award, Jackson did not start the second half, even though Kings guard Doug Christie remained in the locker room with a foot injury. But he came on in the fourth quarter and sparked the Kings, who improved to 5-0 at home.
"Bobby is always big off the bench for us," said forward Peja Stojakovic, who led the Kings with 33 points and 11 rebounds. "He comes in and brings a lot of energy and he usually makes big shots for us, like tonight."
"There's two things that keep Gerald on the floor - his energy level and going to the boards," Adelman said. "He's just got to find a way to do those things consistently."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, after winning a fierce defensive battle against the Grizzlies, Kings improved to 5-2 for a season, well ahead of Lakers and also we are riding a 4 game winning streak. So all in all we are one of the hottest teams in the league. Yeah, I know that our schedule was easy and that we are yet to play a real NBA team, but that rally doesn’t matter. Every win counts as one win and You have got to be able to beat sucky teams too. Tomorrow, we will try go go for 5 in a row by crossing that bridge and beating the Warriors in what is expected to be a “battle of midgets”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here we are – before a back to back game with our roster. Scary thought. Let’s hope that Ron was capable to get up by himself. If You ever had back spasms – You will know what I am talking about. I don’t rally have any ideas how to solve this issue but we are about to overplay our players this early in the season. At some point we will have to pay the price either by losing some games on being tired ot playing Hart & Taylor and losing games because we suck. I hope that it doesn’t end up being a heuge problem down the stretch since every game is important and one game means making or missing the post season .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While I understand that it would be nice to see Kevin Martin play in an all star game which will eventually happen if he continues to grow this way – I think that it is too early and it is not a good time for the Kings team in general. All we need is to add an extra game to Kevin’s schedule in which is not too much time to rest anyways. Also we need him healthy and it doesn’t take much if You are play for Kings. In fact – all it needs is that Bowen “accidentally” leaves his leg under Kevin’s leg while Kevin is in the air. I say – let’s just keep it low profile and let's Kevin do the talking on the court.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After I slept over it – I still don’t understand how someone like Bill Walton can work as a analyst. I think that they need to start testing those guys for drugs and other things. Bill Walton would be capable of confusing anyone in believing anything for a short period of time - right to the point where one would go - “say what again ? And JB is not helping either. He is just adding the fuel to the fire so to speak. JB is bringing up the best/worst in Walton who is discovering new level of sucking every game. Pretty soon – it will be unbearable. As of now - I am a firm believer that our PG’s name is Henry Bibby which would explain the defense. Henry is an old man.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That would bring us to TNT which is the host of our tonight’s game. I thing that they are somewhat better mostly because they don’t have Walton but they have Kerr unless he killed himself last night watching Spurs lose to Bobcats. I do expect Collins and maybe even Reggie. BTW – expect a triple overtime in the first game. It is highly unlikely that we will get to see 2 compleate Kings games back to back
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.It was an interesting game 2 very hobbled teams in which neither was capable of playing any defense. We won because we were able to go smaller when it mattered the most. We got lucky that the 74 times all star and 36 times MVP and future hall–of famer Chucky Atkins was substituted after torching us for gazillion of points in the 3rd quarter. It seamed to have woken up Bibby and things got a little easier. Win is a win – right ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AWARD TIME
TDM award and a TDM life time achievement award went to Chucky “MJ” Atkins. He was in such a zone that he made a shot even when he wasn’t in the possession of the ball. 27 pts (10-11) in a half is more than enough. Compliments of Kings defense - mostly Mike Bibby. The LW-VC award goes to H Warrick. The former TDM award winner sucked big time and that was a good thing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warriors are next and we have had some problems with them in the past seasons. I am not sure whether JRich will play. As You all know – he is one of the biggest Kings killers known to mankind and if he plays we might have a long night. It will be a small ball festival because Don Nelson always took pride in playing the smallest possible lineup. Only dream that he didn’t accomplished was playing Muggsy Bogues as a center. It will be fast and crazy and close but looks like 5 in a row to me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike – after getting torched by Chucky – BD is next and that can be ugly
Ron – that back really worries me. Injury syndrome is signature of the Kings.We need him
Kevin – leave the kid of the all star garbage and let him develop in peace
Brad – hopefully won’t gain too much weight
SAR – much better
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KT – still mediocre
Cisco – stuck in no man’s land
Corliss – top 5 centers in the league
Rest – mateen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Muss – still managing to get the best out of what he has at the moment. Not sure how long it will last.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at Warriors roster – scary. A mixture of kings killers, TDM award winners and Young unknown players. Not a good news for us.although it will be nice to see Matt Barnes. BTW the TDM awars will go to Anthony Roberson. LW-VC award will also hopefully go to a Warriors player. Kings will win again.
