bdouble, so can you.
I've been waiting for this day for a looooooong time ... BACK TO KINGS BASKETBALL!!!
Well, If you mean the really really really bad team we were through the 80's and most of the 90's, I think you are wrong. We will be a completely mediocre team for at least 3 more years. And we were never that in the 80's. Certainly not contending for anything important though.
If you mean a team oriented around ball movement I simply don't see it since we no longer have Vlade, Doug, or Chris. Hate to break this to you man, But Kenny Thomas can't pass like Webb, Cuttino Mobely can't pass like Doug, and As great as Brad is he can't pass like Vlade did. Additionally, the Kings moving the ball is based on Peja working hard off the ball which he has shown no impulse to do this year.
Truthfully im not sure if im hoping old Peja appears and works hard ( shows him as a pouter who quit on his team for a personal vendetta against a team mate ) or that Peja keeps playing poorly ( shows him as a guy who either is injured and not at 100% or as a pouter who isn't playing as well because he thinks the team isn't as good. ) B oth options sound pretty darned gutless to me. Not a guy Id want to go to battle with in either case.
