LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
# Baron Davis (flu like symptoms), Marcus Camby (bruised right heel) and Tim Thomas (strained left groin) are out.
# Eric Gordon (high right ankle sprain) and Paul Davis (sprained right little finger) are probable.

SACRAMENTO KINGS
# Beno Udrich (left hamstring strain), Kevin Martin (sore right knee), and Quincy Douby (ankle injury) are day to day.

Sounds like Mikki and John may sit this one out so the young guys can play according to the bee.

I wonder if you can make up your own injury when sitting out in pre-season games.

Lupin (time traveling accident) is day to day.

GO KINGS!

Did anyone see Kev-Mart pull up for the long range shot off the dribble? I criticized him in one of my other posts saying that he has to perfect that shot to become a superstar. It looks like he's been practicing it.

Channel 48608 on sopcast. The quality isn't that great, but it doesn't lag and it's better than nothing.

That K-Mart jumper off the hesitation crossover was a thing of a beauty. You can really see he's been working on his game. I'm glad too see he added that very much needed move.

On a side note, Bobby Brown and Mike Taylor are really going at each other. Both are ligtning fast too. Taylor looked like he was about to do a sick dunk 'till he bust his butt on the floor.

Kenny has really played well so far...

i dnt want him to play well, that means he will get playing time, and i do not want to see k9 on the floor in the regular season

the thing that impresses me most about tonights game is even though Martin is scoring like crazy it's a total team effort. We already have 20 assists tonight.

Game 1-- 10 assists
Game 2-- 16 assists
Game 3-- 18 assists
Game 4-- 20 assists and counting

Passing is going to be the Key to our offense and i can't say how happy i will be if this team truly learns to make the extra pass and share the ball.

You guys got it tonight, y'all are on fire. We just don't have the firepower.

I'm not able to watch the game, how in the hell has Spencer managed to commit 6 turnovers in 16 minutes? Good God...

Firepower acquired. Eric Gordon was deployed. :lol:

A couple were really nice passes that the receiver fumbled out of bounds. His court vision was definitely on display tonight.

Kevin looked great. I think he may be ready to make that step and enter the neighborhood of 4-5 apg and simply make the play happen when it's clearly there. He is becoming a pretty good play maker! He is just so far from where he was when he came into the league it's almost hard to believe. He looked very, very close to being an all around superstar level player tonight with his scoring and play making.

Spencer handled himself well against Kaman. Also showed that offensive ability on all fronts. He was hitting deep, he was faking guys out in the post, he was being an interior presence. Bust???? haha.

Donte struggled, but isn't getting a consistent role either, so.... I still think with Reggie wanting to play this style Donte at PF is a good idea. Maybe even Jason at the 5.

Jason looked good. He had a couple of nice moves in the low post. His jumper still isn't falling. He brought the ball up a couple of times, with Reggie's run and gun style he is a perfect fit in the frontcourt with his ability to rebound and start the fast break. As a starter he really filled Mikki's role of "role player" so he didn't really do much. For the second game in a row Theus played Jason at SF and he really does look good there. He is just too big for the other team to cope with. Jason at SF needs to happen for stretches this season.

Yep. Big fan of Gordon myself.

I think the Clipps are going to shock some people a Baron/Gordon gaurd tandem is going to murder. Both are undersized gaurding the SG spot but they are strong enough to.

No love for Kenny Thomas??

6 points(2-2 FG and 2-2 FT

) 3 assists and a block. I watched the game and he actually played good basketball. He defended, ran the floor, finished at the rim and had some pretty good passes. Thomas and Beno showed good chemistry in the short time they were on the court together.
