I hate meaningless games. Absolutely nothing to gain and lot to lose (Finley). In soccer - this would be a scoreless tie where players would just get a short workout. In BB - somebody has to win and that might as well be us for a change. Having 50 would be nice but it is not that important anymore.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It sure will be strange having a PO without playing Dallas. Old habits die hard
. We play Seattle which might ot might not be a good thing. The chances are 50-50 and it could end up being a very long series. We can expect lots of three attempts on both sides, technical fouls, flagrant fouls, destruction of arena property (chairs), Bibby schooling the rookie and much more. And lots of emotions - hopefully good.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funny, how eventhough things changed drastically they are not that much different at all. If Kings win this series - they would achieve as much as they did last season. Now, considering what went on over these 82 games - this would actually be an accomplishment.
Pedja Stojakovic - UIOF or not (UIOF - under influence of Finley) - it will be him that will get us trough first round or not. Nobody around here to bail him out anymore. Don't get me wrong. I am stating this under assumption that Bibby will be Bibby and the rest does not really matter (see Utah game). Can Pedja fulfill expectation - sure. Will he do it - as much as I like him - would not put my money on it but I would be very happy to admit being wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bobby Jackson - having him back can only be a good thing. To think otherwise - only possible if one never saw Bobby playing before. Bobby will be very motivated considering all the criticism he had to live with during the last PO. A motivated Bobby is good enough for me. He will bring it and we can really use whatever he has to offer. Anything. Also looking forward to "Bobby" chants before him entering the game firts time back at ARCO. Something one has to earn and deserve. You can't fool the crowd. WELCOME BACK BOBBY !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARCO - something that Sonics don't have and hopefully don't know how to handle. Will be our advantage trough the series. Been quiet there recently - I expect that to change very soon. Kings need any energy they can get. Sonics are unexperienced PO team and might get intimidated. Yes, I know - we have to win a game on the road. Game 1 sounds good to me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not much to say about last game. Embarassing, disgracing, pathetic ... - You get the picture. Now, that game still had some meaning. Tonight's game does not have any. It can only get better.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight - we try to get 50 but only thing that relly matters is that none of the playerd end up UIOF. If I had any saying I would not allow Mike Bibby nowhere near the ARCO tonight. There is not much to watch or expect tonight. Daniels and Martin may end up with carrer games - something like Darko last night. Tag needs to get in shape so he can play some. Mobley needs to hit a shot for a change. Other than that - waste of time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just stay away from Finley boys !
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If RA plays Bibby and he gets UIOF - RA should be hanged on one of the baskets in ARCO.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suns - I recomand this game for all the fans who like to see the jump shot technique of Bo Outlaw. Well, it is funny at least.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BSPN broadcast so:
WALTON ALERT !!!
You know the drill.
note - "Walton alert" given because it usually means that he will not be at the game. Still be afraid. Be very, very afraid!
