Hall of Famer
10 hrs left to the game. 10 hrs left to a LA losing streak.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since first game of the doubleheadder is some boring game from the eastern conference, I will watch the last years tape of Kings (severely shorthanded) beating LA in LA. The game was on TNT so it is a good omen. I hope that the first game does not go into overtime causing us to miss even a second of enjoyment of beating LA.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vlade is in town. I wish he wasn't because seeing him in that ugly uniform just makes me sick. I do not think he will play much anyways. It will be emotional in the beginning. I heard rumors that John Barry offere 5$ to each fan who boos Vlade tonight;).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
the game itself will be an old fashioned blowout unless we have to play 5 vs 8 as usual. I do not know at the moment who is officiating but I would not be surprised to see Bavetta or Crawford or that (wo)man whos name does not even deserve to be mentioned.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lakers game fits us great. They can not shoot, they turn it over nicely and except K.B. there is nobody who can really win the game. So double Kobe and let everybody else lose the game. If we move the ball nicely they will be in for a long night.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CW - 20 - 10 - 5 night.

Pedja - shot poorly the last 2 games so he is due. Do not expect rebounding and hustle again. His leg is still hurting.

Bibby - assisted Pedja to 4 of 6 field goals last game and deserves a comendation for it. He will keep it up. He will not be as good as last game but certainly good enough to get the job done. He will help C. Atkins to have a solid game

DC - can not play worse than the last game. He will desperately be looking for Rick Fox who will not show up. He will "borrow without permission" at least 3 of K.B. balls.

Brad - will realize that it is OK to score in double digits. He will be blocked at least 3 times.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bobby just sucked in the last game. He will improve a lot. He will not shoot 50 %.

Tag will do what Tag does to get things done

Darius - see Tag

Barnes will hopefully not play that much.

Rest of the bench will play at least 5 minutes tonight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RA will not have to yell tonight. ( well not much anyways)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fans will chant "BEAT LA", will make Vlade cry and will give K.B. proper welcome
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LA will lose. Nobody will be able to hit on K. wife because she is not there.
Cook will pull Eddy Griffin simply because he will be ignored from our defense. K.B. will have + 15 fts depending of officiating maybe even +20.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charles Barkley will annoy the hell out of us wit his "objective" assesment of the Kings (the usual)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEAT LA

Looks like we stuck with Kerr tonight. :(

Kerr? Oh, gag me. We will not get any info on the Kings or the Lakers. Both teams will be compared (unfavorably) to the Spurs.
 
Was it me ot did Barkley just try to say something nice about us ?

Should we be worried ?
 
"And Chris Webber with a nice jump hook... You know who has the best jump hook in the game? Tim Duncan" "The Kings are playing great, but I still think San Antonio is the best. Did I mention that I want to make love to Tim Duncan? I just love that guy... Literally..."

Expect one Tim Duncan reference tonight.
Only one? I think I'll try to remember to count. I expect no less than 6........not to mention a few for Ginoblli and Parker.

i thought of the same thing when i heard charles.. well he said we were a very solid team.. and basically i think he gave us atleast "a little" chance to contend.. he was like "i think minny and spurs are the 2 best teams, but the 3,4, &5 spots will be interesting.." he said we are under the radar but we're really solid.. he also said we were only down 2 games in the loss column to the suns --3 actually, but who's counting.. i took that as him saying, "hey, the kings aren't that bad"

well i guess i was just so used to these analysts saying "sac has no chance",blah3..

anyway, i'm kinda worried that charles didn't bash us there when he got the chance..
 
Just finished watching the tape from last season's butt kicking in LA. (Kings won 103-101 )

It never really gets boring watching this game including the postgame where Bibby got back on Barkley. We went there without Bobby, Brad and CW ans still beat them.

Now I am in the right mood for some fresh blood.
 
CW has problems guarding Odom. Somebody needs to help there. Other than that looks like blowout to me.
 
Mike looks good. Missed 2 opn threes but hes off to a good start. Ofensively we look good but defensively it needs to pick up.


You can tell its Kings vs Lakers.... Pregame show was talking about it was 20 deep around the court when the doors were open.... Oh yeah Im sure that Divac guy has something to do with it.
 
Funny how this game works. 2 players that are doing everything offensively are not playing any defense. If they stop hitting we will be in trouble.

Atkins & Odom 21 pts

With Mike and CW not playing any D LA will hang around all game long.
Odom is a brutal matchup for Webb. You can't blame him for being beat.
Mike, on the other hand, no excuses.
