Mark Kreidler: Wanna play guard for a few minutes?

Good to be with you. I almost didn't make it. My tryout with the Kings went a little longer than expected.
• I don't want to say Rick Adelman is looking for some healthy people to suit up, but I'm pretty sure I just heard Wayman Tisdale's beeper go off.
• Folks still sort of nicely refuse to go along with Adelman's concern over the Kings even making the playoffs, but the man is genuinely uncertain about the chemistry of his team. Still, it seemed a little over the top for him to advertise for a backup point guard on eHarmony.com.
• Special statistical treat for those folks who loved, loved, loved reciting the Kings' paltry .500 record last season after Webber returned to the lineup late in the campaign: Sacramento, 34-20 this season prior to the Webber trade, is 7-7 since he was packed off to Philly. (And this proves what, boys and girls? Only that complex answers to fair questions can be reduced to brain-addled bromides by simply tossing a few numbers out there and pretending they'll stand as an explanation.)
• So Tim Duncan sprained his ankle pretty badly, and that could leave San Antonio vulnerable around the middle down the stretch, and ... oh, wait. No longer relevant here. The Kings are currently consumed with trying to figure out how to beat the Warriors.
