Kings getting some love on ESPN. COY and ROY. And look at the gush on Omri.

haha yeh although isn't he the same guy with the mancrush on Bobby B?

Ya, I read that today.

I really hope that nothing changes with those two awards. We will see how everything pans out with Griffin coming back.

Still optimistic though. Evans is a stud.

Mark Stein is Jewish. He mentioned before that he's glad Omri's doing so well that he can legitimately talk about him all the time.

I'm not too worried about Griffin. He will wind up playing maybe 50 games (hard to win ROY doing that), will be splitting minutes with Kaman and Camby, and will be spending his first week or two just getting adjusted to playing post-injury.

Reke's numbers have been so unreal, that Griffin would probably have to average 20-10 to even warrant consideration. Possibly more considering he was not much of a shotblocker in college and that's unlikely to change at least for his rookie season.
