Meh...you need a break every now and then. Unfortunately I didn't have time to put together anything elaborate.

Eh, I wont be surprised if we lose...We have that inconsistency in terms of playing at the level of an opponent.... Drives me crazy... Kaman will go off as usual (Probably another career game), all their 3 point shooters gonna be deadly and etc...Artest gonna destroy his man, Martin will gonna struggle (If you guys notice, Martin ALWAYS plays bad against the Clippers) I hope he proves me wrong tonight...Miller and Beno will do their thing...Other then that, this just an ordinary game...So, again I wont be surprise that we lose this game... I predict a close win in Staples... Just call me Nostradamus. :)

Just in... No Martin/Artest for today's game... Martin out for a injury hand and Artest with sore knees (I think)

Well, let's see if Salmons from last night was not just a fluke and if Garcia can get his chit together. Probably means we'll see more Hawes and maybe more Williams.

So... do we want to lead all the way to the last five minutes or, do we want to get down by 23 in the third and try a comeback?

Douby on fire. He does it effortlessly too. He needs a bigger role next season, Kings need to move one of the other wings for PG/frontcourt help.

Shelden really provides some toughness inside. Mikki Moore gives you hustle, but no toughness.

More Shelden please! Man, I am so glad to finally have a young big that can defend/rebound. You can see the prospects for him in that area every time he steps on the court.


And Mikki is playing like a BEAST.


Glad to see Theus giving in to developing these young guys. :clap:

I like that play where they run Hawes off the curl, not a lot of centers will run through that.

Hawes and Williams now in together. Havent seen a lot of that

Reggie isn't "giving in" to anything. Artest and Martin are out tonight with injuries, so it's not like he has a lot of choice on who to play. I am happy to see Hawes, Douby and Williams take advantage of this opportunity. Performances like this is what will earn them more time on the floor.

Well actually he kind of is. He could have put Miller out there for 40 minutes tonight if he wanted to. Before the game Brad said himself that this is a chance for guys like Spencer to get a look with the season winding down.

This team has no concept of how to close out games.
