Worst thing about spring break is that it ends so quickly. I will be on my way back and will miss the game tomorrow. hopefully, I will be pleasently surprised when I check up the box scores
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 12th is not a great day for Kings to play BB. On March 12th 1995 Kings beat Clippers (only team tht lost to Kings at any given day in the last 100 years) 105 - 93 to improve to 30 - 30 for the season (very interesting).
Kings were lead by Williams who had 25/4. Richmond had 20/3/6, and Webb had 22/6 assisst. Kingd blew the game open in the 3rd quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kings @ 30-30 only 1/2 games away from the 8th spot. 3 games winning streak and 11 games home winning streak, 7-3 in the last 10. Kings will not be denied even though they will have to do it themselves becausr "elite" teams seam not to be interested in winning certain games. Still 5 teams for 2 spots but everything is pointing at us and them. I still hope that they will not make it but their schedule is coincidentally as easy as it is every year.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pistons @ Spurs suck. I don't care if they play in the finals again. They suck. I hope that neither one of them makes it far. They can't motivate themselves for every game:mad:. Pathetic. Do we always have to do it ourselves ? What kind of service is this ? At least we can count on power houses like hawks, Celtics and Blazers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finley is still our worst opponent. Our 7 man rotation might decrease depending on how Bonzi is doing tomorrow. Looks like Bonzis expiration date is close. That is too bed because he is usually great when he is healthy. We have worked way too much to get this far. We certainly ddid no do all this to have our rotation expand to players like Hart & co. I am not sure - I can take that again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I am getting woren out by Tony Delk syndrom. Last night by Chucky and Jake, night before by someone else and so on and so on. Are we some kind of a makeup exam ? Out of jail - free card ? Do we issue "superstar-gift certificates" ? Many players in this league own us a nice percentage of their way overpaid contracts. Just frustrating.
------------------------------------------------------------------------\
Finally, I couldn't find one complaint about thr refs and that is not a good thing because it means that we will pay somwhere else and soon and with interest. I expect to see Palmer & Bavetta many times in the last 22 games and no latter than Tuesday. Every time we get somewhat lucky - we end up paying somehow. Haven't we paid enough in 2002 ? It should be enough for eternity.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/3 done - nice start to this short home streach. It was the easiest game on paper. ARCO was solid but nowhere close to what we need it to be. It needs to improve tomorrow and then culminate and explode on Tuesday.
Kings know what is at stake. At least - they play that way, Things will be fine unless Finley strikes again. Just give us a break !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Grizzlies were solid and got a big boost from Jake and Chucky. bobby gave us a scare and I don't understand how he is not starting. Pau was great but Ron was better when it counted. SAR and KT did well also. Warrick could not defend the title - he choked under pressure. Jake won TDM award which he is used too. Kings may have lost Bonzi again and that will hurt badly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tomorrow - Mavs are in town and I hate Mavs. They are good. we used to own them. In the past - it was enough that Webber enters the arena and mavs were beaten. Now it is the opposite with Dirk and ron will have to work a lot but so will Dirk. I hope that we can put togther a 7 man rotation that doesn't include Jason Hart. I hope that Cuban goes crazy. It would be a great sign. It should be a great one and may the better team win and may Mavs lose
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bibby - Terry is waiting but I expect Daniels playing PG for some streches. He can't be quiet like the first half last night.
Bonzi - not again:eek:
Ron - keep the pills coming. Hope thta ron can slow down the guy with the ugliest hair cut since Steve Nash
SAR - nice, very nice. His dream is so close to come true
Brad - horrible in the first half. He might have some trouble with Dampier and Diop
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kevin - no problems at ARCO as usual
Cisco - get well soon
KT - keep it up man
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Corliss is slacking off. When was the last time we got to read his diary ?
Hart - playing best ball of the season. ook us some 50 games to find a perfect role for him
"exchange students" and "mateen section" - standard
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
RA - he believed in this team when there was nothing to believe. He stayed with it and he deserves all the credit. Bring us home man - bring us home.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mavs. I don't care - they suck. Dirk is pretty good. They have a great bench. Still we can beat them. TDM award favorite is Dampier. Diop is the man in the shadow.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go Kings - to hell with the rest !!!

Dallas will be on the second night of a back-to-back, gives us a better chance to win than we would if they weren't. Should be another hard-fought game, but I think we have a pretty good chance to win this.

TDM - Adrian Griffin or Diop :).

Kings get it by 5. ;)

Bruce Bowen shut down Dirk the other night, so I see Artest providing the same type of problems with his physical style of defense.

TDM = Diop...Monster game with somewhere around 8 pts, 15 rebs, 6 blks.

Kings keep up there winning ways on the home court in front of an electric crowd.

Even though the Mavs are coming off their second game, this game still kinda scares me. I predict that the Kings will get killed in the interior but we somehow manage a win!
 
#7
I say it will go down to the wire. We have a lil bit of trouble of guarding Dirk, but we keep everyone else in check and win.

dallas is not going to kill us inside. they are still a perimeter team. sure they have Dampier and Diop but they usually combine for like 6 points. I am watching the mavs jazz game now its almost halftime and Diop and Dampier combined stats look like this 0/5/0 with 4 fouls 1 TO and 2 blks. Dallas has 10 points in the paint and Utah leads in points in the paint 18-14. I would have to say that indeed we may kill them on the inside

BTW piski i think all Bonzi had was a cramp in his calf, that was the last I heard

Just got done watching the Mavs / Jazz game. Looks like the Mavs will be without 4 of our top 8 players, 3 of which are starters (Devin Harris was officially named the starter 2 games ago).

Out:
Josh Howard
Keith Van Horn
Devin Harris (injured in the 1st half tonight - quadriceps)
Adrian Griffin (strained hamstring in the 4th quarter)

We'll know the status of both Harris and Griffin later tonight but it didn't look good. So I actually like the Kings chances tomorrow. We'll see....

Wow, did not know about Griffin. He's another key guy for Dallas. Actually forgot about Howard and KVH though. Harris seems to be in and out since coming back.

Kings113 - it's soooo frustrating because Harris does A LOT for this team in only his 2nd year. He is already the best at penetrating into the lane and taking it inside or dishing it out for a wide open J / 3. Him being in and out of the lineup really sucks.

They gutted out a win tonight against the Jazz but they're going to have to bring even more intensity to the game tomorrow against the Kings.

LAKERS LOSE! and Christ Mihm is injured, adding to the playoff hopes of the kins. Kobe, as usual, was a whiney little b**tch the entire game.

GO KINGS!!!!
