Chalmers is probably going to start for Miami. Quinn didn't even play last game.

Here's hoping we can win this one, I see no reason kings should not win this game. Our offense was solid the last game, we just have to play a little defense and rebound and we might be able to pull off a win .

Automatic loss because it's against Miami

But seriously, I lean to a loss because I think they'll be too athletic for us

Theus has already learned the lesson and already said in the bee today that Thompson and Hawes will be starting because of their rebounding and defense. I'm glad he will not let Mikki and Thomas waste 28 minutes of the game with 8points/1reb between them. Mikki had 0 rebounds himself and this team needs rebounding and defense by their big guys, points only are a bonus. By the way Jason outscored Beasley in their only college battle. Jason is going to be a special player but he is not quite ready to play too many more than 25 minutes. He got worn out at the end of the game while Hawes did not because Hawes got more minutes in the preseason. Williams will play more defense tonight when necessary, I think this is a winnable game and wil be close. Don't expect Martin to play as poorly either. We will have a shot at the game. The unathletic talk doesn't matter. Tim Duncan is the best big guy and beats Stoudemire whenever they meet. Athleticism is the most overrated portion rating a player. Some guys are athletic but not really smart and good, some are not athletic but smart and good they equal eachother out. Only a few players are both smart and athletic. Chris Paul was a #1 pick. Chris Webber was a #3 pick. TD was a #1. We have not had a pick that high. Hawes had 6 blocks in the last game very impressive, he may have triple double down the road. Jason Thompson is very close to the complete package. You just need to watch the guy he was recruited to play at UCLA but stayed close to home to play with his brother. He hit 2 clutch game winning shots out of 8 games in the summer league. I think there is a lot of hope for this year.

I hope Hawes plays well again tonight. Thompson can hang with Beasley no question. Thompson moves extremely well so I like that matchup for us. The front court has been the issue for the Kings so I'm ALL for the Kings benching Moore. He's an energy guy anyway and would help the 2nd unit.

Moore would help the second unit a lot. It would also give Thompson a chance to get settle down into the flow of the game rather than trying to make too much happen.

I would like to see a lot of Spencer in the post. He's guarded by 6'8 Haslem, there's no reason not to go down there.

Good Lucks guys. Last game we were killed on the boards, with your size you should be able score off it. Wade had an off game last game, so im holding out hope he bounces back. Come join our board if you like.

Less than a minute into the game and Beno has 2 TOs...gee, that's neat!

We are literally on pace for 80 turnovers.

Put in Brown, Beno is too careless with the ball.

Thanks for the info and im watching it right now

beno should sit!!!

already 10 turnovers in the 1st quarter.....

I'm kinda thinking that this might be a looooooooooooong year.

I am shocked at how gun shy everybody is. They are making the game way harder than it needs to be.

Jesus Christ, turnovers and fouls. Mikki, Spencer, and JT already with two apiece.

But Spencer is playing awesome.
