Walking in Memphis

Cher said it best in her version of the Marc Cohn song:

Then I'm walking in Memphis, walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale. Walking in Memphis, but do I really feel the way I feel?

Now the question for the Kings is do they really feel the way they feel? The roller-coast ride games against Chicago, Seattle, Utah and Golden State have shown the best and the worst of what they can do.

They walk into Memphis on Tuesday, Feb. 12, with a record of 23-26. They walk in with arguably more questions than answers. Which Ron Artest will be on the court? Will Kevin Martin show up or the kid who looks just like him but can't hit water out of a boat? And what about Bibby?

For the most part, this season's Kings have been fun to watch. It's certainly an improvement over last season's fiasco. But there's still work to do be done.

Being a Kings fan is not for the timid or weak of heart. You have to stick through the bad times and enjoy the good ones when they come. And look to the horizon for the clouds to part and the sun to shine on the Kings Nation.

The Kings have a horrible schedule the rest of February with only ONE home game - Feb. 20 against the Hawks. The rest of the time they'll be in Memphis, Houston, Portland, Charlotte, Orlando, Miami and Atlanta before finishing off the month in Dallas.

And they'll be in Charlotte when the trade deadline hits. Will the team that takes the court that night be the same team we've been seeing? Or will there be new faces? Only time will tell... and Jerry Reynolds will be taking his normal walk through Memphis.

Now let's get ready for some Kings basketball!

GO KINGS!!!

we are very much close to the same record we had last year around this time. probably 2 games off though, but very close to last years fiasco. you cant be a fan with a timid attitude and a weak heart. there will be heartbreaks and plenty of em. no matter who your team is. i think most of our anger comes from the stupidity of the ownership and the coaches. power forwards......kenny thomas didnt work out the last 146 something games and mikki moore isnt working out thus far. MAKE A CHANGE. you play the best 5 every night. i dont care whos position it is. i can accept losing, but not losing in a moron "ish" way. so yes, i hope there are trades before or on the deadline. starting lineups only a mother could love. for the record, during the laker game last night a comment was made about how the western race was so close. a different team is in 1st place very week. they also said watch out for the kings. they look like theyre playing better. if thats any consolation. but i wouldnt buy that thought with someone else's money. if we can get to .500 my attitude will change

couldn't we have traded artest for gasol? I mean with artests crazy head maybe Memphis wasn't sure he'd opt out for sure

No. It would have required K9 as part the package to match salary since Gasol is one of the highest paid in the league. Memphis is not that dumb - I think!
