Well if they played D like they did today for the rest of the year I'd consider them a real title contender. But, I don't think we can. With Chris and peja you get more skill but less overall hustle and athletisism. Maybe when the playoffs start they'll kick it up a notch like last year. Barnes was great on the glass today...really going for rebounds or tips or strips. You'll never see that from Peja and Chris's transition D is pretty bad.
It'll be interesting to see our D in the post season.

Yeha -- guess the question I do have would be can we do this with our normal lineup?No questions this afternoon though. The guys we had out there got after it.

Before the deadline the kings got a great deal and got an all-star calibur player in Cuttino, last year the pistons did the same thing and got Rasheed, and look what he did, and the results of their season, could there be the same story at the end of this season in Sac-town?Seems like the same type of story is brewing.;-)

Well, part of this Adelman needs to attend to in terms of rotation, which he's actually done a pretty good job of lately. I think it's really more about rebounds than anything else - Webber's been doing much better this year one-on-one with premier post players (maybe cause he's learned to better compensate for his waning lateral movment) and obviously Pedja's man-to-man D is the best it's ever been. But today's squad showed the most active and effective team D i've seen for quite a while -when was the last time anyone say 5 Kings pounding the boards with their opponents behind them? Maybe it's just the exuberance of youth, but if Adelman can harness this into a balanced rotation with a healthy team, San Antonio doesn't look so daunting....
Games like this that show Adelman what different combinations of players can do in certain matchups are invaluable later in the year when he can recall today's efforts and use them again when it may seem appropriate. That the lesson was learned under durress makes it that much sweeter. Kudo's to all but especially Matt who led the way with hustle and Cat who sucked it up and played hurt and was instrumental in stifling Woves runs at the right time.

I would hope RA can see that a 7 man rotation is'nt useful

Since I was at work for half the game, why couldn't this game have been on Comcast instead.

neither do i..... if they do it more often, with peja and webber in the lineup... maybe not blow 17 point leads to the heat, lose to the warriors or hornets.... then maybe, just maybe i could see the big deal with this teams defense...... until then, i'm just happy that they won.
