Speaking of last night's game, the Kings didn't have the fight in them that was very characteristic of them in the past. Before, they were never out of the game. Teams and fans always had this feeling that the Kings could blast a 15-0 run in a few minutes to rally from a huge deficit. They fought until the end. Last night, I didn't see much of that. It seemed like when they got down, it just snow balled and eventually became a 30-point loss. It looked like they gave up.
There are issues that might be underlying the type of game the Kings are playing right now. Peja wanted to get traded earlier this year. Jackson is malcontent. Webber made some controversial comments that might have hurt their chemistry. Injuries to Christie and Ostertag could linger all season. The bench is paper thin.
Do the Kings have enough trust in themselves as a team to pull it together? Is Adelman a lame duck coach this year? Are the players still listening to him? What will it take for them to get back on the right path?
From this side of the state, the Kings are very intriguing this year, not to mention, "entertaining." We're definitely watching. Fortunately for the Kings, the season is young!
