They played well against the Lakers yesterday. This won't be an easy game.

Now without Bibby, the Kings are young and fiesty, thus incredibly streaky. Hopefully we catch them on one of their bad shooting nights and limit their buckets in the paint.

We have the propensity to have enough bad shooting quarters or even minutes to do enough damage to our chances. The Kings are so schizophrenic right now that I don't even think they know what team will show up on a given night, half, quarter, minute, possession.

Martin and Artest are not playing for the Kings tonight.

If you knew how many different starting lineups we've had this season...
I kind of had a feeling after the 10 turnovers though.

Clippers trail the Kings 20-22 with 2:08 remaining in the 1st. Mikki Moore looking like a superstar against us has 10 points.

Dickau playing well in his first 2 minutes of action. He has 5. That was a real nice shot by Douby with the opportunity for a 4-point play as the shot clock expires. Bad foul by Thornton.

We're doing ok w/o Artest and Martin out there for the Dingz. Al needs to go back to his "stop-n-pop" game because his "in da paint" game aint on right now.

He's struggling out there. Only 1 turnover though.

54-43 Kings at half-time. Douby, Udrih & Moore have a combined 38 points SacTown. The Kings are shooting just under 54% and the Clips are hovering just above 40% Kaman has played decent in the minutes that he has played, but his minutes are being regulated. He has 10 points, 4 rebounds and a block. Maggette leads the team with 11 points.

Clippers are on an 8-0 run and have cut a once 17 point deficit down to 8.

74-66 Kings at the end of the 3rd. Maggette helped the Clippers chip away at the Kings' 17 point lead but we have had trouble getting within less than 7 points.

Dickau for 3 and pulls us within 5. 76-71 Kings.

6:10 left in the game and Corey is fouled by Garcia (5th) and will head to the line for 2. He makes them both and the Clippers trail the Kings 79-81.

Thornton knocks down the open 3 to cut the 6-point King lead to 3. Miller scores underneath on the other end to make it a 5 point game.
