Hall of Famer
Never a dull moment around here. We lost to Hornets (so what - so did the Warriors and Jazz ;)) then we lost DC. It sure has been an emotional last night for most of us. It was clear that changes would be made no later than the offseason but I did not think - it would be DC. Do not be surprised if something else happens on that regard before trade deadline. Yet another fan's favorite who will not retire as King. Buissiness of Basketball.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As always in such situation things can go both ways. You know what You gave up but You do not know exactly what You are going to get. I am not sure that real issues that Kings have - have been addressed with this trade but I am willing to give it a chance ( 2 games max - I have a reputation to uphold;)). DC will be missed by some teammates more than by others. Time to move on
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In case You did not know - Basketball will still be played and Kings are starting a strech 7/8 at home tonight. They will do so with only one PG (arguable). Mike will go for +40 tonight (minutes of course). Considering our performances - tonights game is wide open. No favorites. Still unclear who will start tonight. It sure will be strange to watch the game without #13 in it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CW - will have to cary DC's load in passing or the team is not going to "work." Is he willing to do so - that reamins to be seen. I expect lots of jumpers tonight (hopefully they go in)

Pedja - Oh boy- One guy who was constantly looking for him is gone. No more easy lay ups of a laser pass. 4 pts per game right there. Hopefully, he will respond in a right way. If not - it will be a boring 2 man game all night long.

Miller - Once CM is here Brad might even compleately stop shootng. Brad - just take a shot man. TAKE IT !

Mike - He will play big minutes tonight. Generaly without DC he might get even more exposed defensively. I will try to count how many times he will run under screen on the pick and roll tonight. I can only count till 10 tough.


"fill in the blank" - whoever starts tonight will have to give a very sould contrybution on both ends of the floor. Good Luck.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tag - if given minutes he will do his usual.

Darius - was not a great road trip for him. We need more.

Depending on given minutes the rest of the bench (including Barnes this time also needs to have a solid contribution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully, he will not be surprised that we play Nuggets tonight. Will see how he adjusts to this change
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Denver is unfortunately capable of having a good game.

Go Clippers, Go Heat !
 
I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited about tonights game and thinking ahead to Cuttino being in uniform. As much as it sucks to lose Doug, just as a fan it feels kind of a fresh jolt of energy for me even.
 
Cat should paly Thursday as he has to check in and get a physical before 10 am on Tursday. Not sure if Adelman wil start him untill after he has been to at least one practice, but you never know. I'll be at Thursday nights game and plan to give Cat a nice Arco welcome! I also will have my duck call handy for Tag time!

Yeah I know Cuttino won't be playing tonight. But, seeing Mo starting is awesome to.

Interesting. You think it's a done deal that Mo will start?

I would think he'd start instead of Special K. More experience is the key factor in my thinking...

I dont think we'd make the trade if we didnt intend on starting Mobley..

EDIT: oops, thought by Mo you meant Mobley :p

Cool. :) Have fun at Thursday's game!

Tonight's game will be emotional without Doug. I hope whomever that plays in Doug's position tonight does a great job... I think he will.

Nuggets has lost 4 games in a row... hopefully tonight they will still continue those losts. ;)

GOO KINGS!!!!
 
I could be wrong but I think it is a done deal that Mo will start. I just don't think that RA is that confident in Special K. Either way I think they will both get some good minutes tonight. Barnes - Not sure what he will get for playing time. Hopefully this bench time has given him the drive to improve his sloppy play.

That's not what we're talking about.

Mobley CANNOT play tonight. We're wondering - or at least I thought we were - about who will fill in tonight. Will it be Kevin Martin, who started for Doug during the pre-season when his plantar fasciitis was acting up? Or will it be Mo Evans?
 
I think Special K mite start , keeping Mo fresh is essential for us to win tonight , so i think Kevin will take the load and bring Mo off the bench ... but hey we still dont know ...
 
at yahoo sports gamechannel it puts mo evans in the starting lineup... but of course it could be a predicted lineup...

He is in the starting line-up today. in the warm-up show they said he would start. Alos they said Eddie House wil lget some minutes today.
 
Well we will know the line up in a few min. Pregame show announced that Webber did not warm up and may not aly tonight... might be a real patch work team.
 
No Webb. Interesting.

Get to see the bench play and thats good. No matter if we win or lose. Experience is the real gain.
