With one back to back set left to play in the pre-summer league Kings are on a mini winning streak and improved to 38-42 winning 7 of the last 10 games. With the win last night Kings have clinched the 13th pick and have a chance to go for #14 by winning out and Blazers losing their games. It has been a stellar season, better than the last one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outlook for the immediate future is awesome. If our players book vacation for mid April 2009 - they may save some money. Looks like the Kings have gone back to basic and losing culture and mentality that was so abruptly broken during the Adelman era. And since it lasted for 8 years which is way too long - he was replaced. For the eternal optimists amongst You - I have a simple question - which 3 teams under what circumstances we can skip to get to the 8th spot ? Take all time You need to think about. I am all for revisiting this in a year and comparing notes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What we are looking for next season is the good old role of spoiler mainly spoiling our own future but getting 10-14th pick yet again and watching Sonics and even Wolves pass us by. Thank God there will always be Clippers and Grizzlies. Good luck finding another Vlade Divac type of the free agent that is insane enough to come here and play for golden pineapple season after season after season. About 5-6 years from now - Kevin will have to do what Richmond did to win a ring - go to the lakers - our new best friends who expressed their gratitude for our professionalism and for us playing hard. Hey at least we are not the Heat who are an embarrassment to the NBA which will be forgotten the moment they get their #1 pick who will with Wade and Marion make the playoffs in the Leastern conference and who won't see lottery again for years or decade to come.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hornets have no one to blame but themselves. They lost to a depleted lottery team tha has better home record than all but 3 team in the Leastern conference but a lottery team nevertheless. Their MVP turned out to be an MP3 and they didn't deserve it. Who cares - not our problem. Main thing for us is that we played possum on the interstate during rush our last weekend against the Lakers and we will do the same on Tuesday. We will beat the Spurs tomorrow night pending on whether certain players feel like dressing up. We basically gave them the #1 in the West. No more rivalry but a new and fresh start in which we are best friends. Good job Queens - finally You deserve the name that was given by - I can't remember anymore.
Yes, I am pissed and these guys deserved better
moving on
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As it has been mentioned million times Ron and John continue to pick and chose games each in their own way but with the same result. One only gives a damn when he starts and the other flips a coin or just feels bored at the moment. Nice to know that we have a group of dedicated and very professional players that the young players can look up to. God forbid - we had a player like Doug Christie or even Bibby and others who had to be tied up to sit out a game. But then again - we were good back then. Just call it coincidence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
We did accomplish several things during the season. We finally realized that KT won't have another triple double. We also realized that Mikki without Jason Kidd is as good as Greg Ostertag singing in his underwear.

Additionally, we know that A.J. sucks that QD is not a PG that Brad can't stay healthy over 82 games. Lucky us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kings bench outscored the Hornets bench 31-8 and that was pretty much it in a game in which Hornets couldn't handle the pressure and we had nothing to lose but dignity. As I said before that game - we could win it and we did just because we needed to lose it. We can neve get anything right.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
AWARD TIME
TDM - no one
LW-VC - CP3 - just like a night before in LA - he couldn't handle the moment
RA&1 - Mo Pete - sucked
WTF moment - Ron Artest's heroic performance. He was badly hurt and couldn't go against the Blazers the night before but the realized the significance of the moment and duct taped himself and put on the show.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We will beat the Spurs too. Flopibili isn't playing and they have been sucking when that is the case. They just can't score. Most interesting thing will be who suits up for us because the game will be ugly. We still have a slight chance to catch Portland and we will try hard. TDM goes to Vaughn, Finley gets the LW-VC. Kings win.
