"The empire strikes back" - ( hopefully, because it is about time)
Not easy to be Kings fan these days. Not many things going right at the moment. Kings 1-4 looking for the first HOME win this season playing a team that has not beaten us in the last 19 games at ARCO. I am not sure wheather we are the wors team in the west because it is too depressing to the standings - so I don't. Also if You look in the standings while reading a paper - please don/t tilt it too much because we might fall out of it
.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So while we are thinking that it can not possibly get any worse - our players keep proving us wrong over and over again. And while they are saying all the "right things" every time the lose (which happenes all the time) - they are not doing much about it. I am not sure weather they had a team meeting but I am sure that it would be a complete waste of time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My version of a " Sacramento Kings team meeting." Let say that location is Brad's house because there are enough weapons in there and Kings sure need more fire power. So Mike baked cup cakes, Pedja brought Baklava (compliments of his wife) and Brad was on the grill (he shot enough game this summer).
After they ate - they decided to play some games to relax. Brad won the dart competition. He had a dart board with the picture of Violet Palmer on it. has not mis a shot all night.
Then they started talknig business. Pedja gave some tips about how to adjust to dress code. Everybody laughed. Pedja did not get it. Brad was giving hair band tips not realizing that most of the players don't have hair and we all know what Pedja looks like wearing a hair band. Then Mike gave a presentation about the importance of pedicure and manicure. Bonzi was talking about "getting along" with coaches and fans. SAR was giving rather short talk about his PO experience. He pointed out that HDTV is the best way to go. Then our bench players wanted to say something but nobody cared. A embarrasing moment happened when the "guest speaker" did not show up to talk about leadership but Vlade, DC, CW and Bobby could't make it.
They took a break and watched the movie "the core." After the break Mike had a great idea on how to fix the problems in the game. The played NBA live on play station. Mike was defensive player of the year, Pedja lead the league in rebounding and points scored in the 4th quarter. Brad won dunk competitionm, SAR made PO etc. Then it was getting kind late and Pedja's wife called because he missed curfew. Team Dime picked up Mike. The rookies stayed little longer to clean up the mess.
All in all a very successful evening.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last game lasted 3 quarters or so the Kings thought. The just might have run out of gas. Still the team looked "dead" to me. generally when Pedja leads the team in scoring in the 4th - we might not win many games. When Mike has "0" in the 4th we are not going to win any games. Violet Palmer SUCKS !
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Same opponent -different attitude or lower altitude - not really sure. We need to rebound and defend better (nah - who am I kidding). Whoever had Najera on his/her fantasy team - will yet again enjoy that game tonight. Just do something - anything.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike - can he score in the 4th too because he will not yet again be stopping Boykins or Miller or my computer chair or a dumpster.
Pedja - which one is showing up tonight. One from the Houston game or phoenix game or Pistons game or Denver game. Is he showing up at all.
Brad - can he do something else but complaining to refs. Hope he practiced inbounding the ball
SAR - played OK except FTs and of course rebounding defending and blowing layups.
Bonzi - nothing wrong with passing the ball sometimes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
KT & Corliss - for a six pack and a hot dog. Can't believe we let Darius go for this. It makes me sick watching those 2 out there.
Martin - nice job Kevin.
Do we have enyone else on that bench who does anything usefull anyways.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RA - final coundown started
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nuggets - suck but so do we. Najera will have a field trip and so will Boykins, Camby .... Depressing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go Bobcats !
Go Sixers !
Go Pistons !
Go Knicks ! (they have to win sometomes too right ?)
