Don't Make Me Use The Bat
Too much doom and gloom around here, so thought I would start a good news thread! Yay! 
:
1) we are 14-21 today. Which means that we can still match our franchise best 61-21 mark from '02 by going 47-0 from here on out to finsih the season! Woot!
2) That 14-21 mark has us with the 9th worst record in the NBA right now. But with 6 straight losses we are charging hard! If we lose our next one, and the Blazers or Hornets win one more, we will jump from 9th to 7th!!
3) We are finally healthy! Relatively. After years of quietly suffering injury after injury as we stormed the league, we may now suck, but we are at least healthy while we do so! Our Top 7 players have missed 30 combined games so far. Compare that to our previous campaigns when rarely would one of our major pieces not miss 30 games all by himself, and we obviously have much to be thankful for. No more Bonzi (missed 30 last year), Bobby (missed 57 the year before that) Webb (missed 59 the year before that) , Bibby (27) Bobby (26), Pollard (59) from the year before that, Webber (28) from the year before that... Nope, we may lose, but we lose as a team baby!
4) And for all of you worried about us losing our sense of history and identity, I throw elderberries in your general direction! KT is leading the Kings in rebounding at a smidgeon under 7.2 (he's also benched so this number will likely plummet). Which ties in nicely to our sucktastic (borrowed phrase) 1992-93 team which Lionel Simmons led with 7.2 rebs a game. See? History! Continuity! That 92-93 team did have better support rebounders though in the mighty Wayman Tisdale (6.6) and Anthony Bonner (6.5). We have only Ron, at 6.4 and plummeting since he decided that rebounding was too hard and hurt his back.
5) We are NOT last in the NBA in shotblocking! Another woot! And here all of you doom and gloom types go on and on about needing inside defensive presence. Pffft! Psssaw! However you make that noise! We in fact are not even the SECOND worst. There are fully TWO teams in the league who are more pathetic than we are inside...New Jersey (3.16) and Milwaulkee (2.80). We are comparatively monsters. So no more whining! This is a happy thread, remember?

Glad you came home to running water, VF, I remember having PLENTY of frozen pipes from when I lived in New England.
