Sacramento (14-17) @t Los Angeles (25-6)

“From a business perspective, it’s great for the NBA,”- Mark Cuban on Kobe Bryant sexual assault case.

i predict a win
Jose explodes under the lights of staples centre and goes for 41 pts, 21 assists, 3 steals, 7 3's, 5 rbds and misses only 2 shots from the floor...
Jack Nicholson gets a heart attack after seeing this and dies in Kobe's arms with his last words being, "I am sorry Kobe, but I banged your wife a couple of times while you were away for the Olympics.. But if its any consolation, she was great in bed.. I am sure u enjoy the sex if and when you end up sleeping with your own wife.. Showtime is back to LA!" ..

Awesome offensive talent... Attacks the basket, shoots, plays D, rebounds, passes the ball, runs the floor... He does everything and does it well... Athletic and charismatic... Excels under pressure... The best clutch player in the NBA... You won't find many such gifted players in the league neither in the past nor in the future... A basketball legend.

The loss of Ron Artest has added to the Los Angeles Lakers’ recent defensive struggles. Tyreke Evans’ absence hasn’t helped the Sacramento Kings’ quest for consistency.
With both players questionable for Friday night’s game at the Staples Center, the Lakers will try to win their fourth straight over the Kings after outlasting them six days ago.

Evans is not expected to play tonight...

Evans has missed Sacramento's last two games with the injury.
"He's still young, and he's probably going to want to play earlier than he should," Kings president Geoff Petrie said. "(But) we play (the Lakers) two more times. You can see the impatience of youth sometimes."

I'm preparing myself, but I think we are in for a tough stretch in Jan. Seems like 70% of the games are against playoff teams. Without Evans and KMart, its going to be very tough.

Not as confident in LA as I am when they were at Arco. We could be in for a long night,

Remember Kings fans, Kobe is 31 already this year. Michael Jordan was 34 when he won his last title. Tyreke is 20.
Donte 21
Casspi 21
Hawes 21
Brockman 22
Sergio 23
JT 23
Heck KMart is 26.

This is an extremely young up and coming group of Kings and they still have a shot to go .500 when Martin comes back.

AHHHHHHHH! I put on comcast sportsnet and the game is blacked out!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else having this problem? I have AT&T U-Verse, is that why? AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cdt3]

The Kings actually match up well with Lakers especially with Evans and KMart. Expect tough games out of Donte/Casspi/JT/Beno/Noci.

[cdt3]

They called a foul on Thomspon when he wasn't even guarding Gasol. It was a foul on Casspi. Even the LA annoucers went what??

[a-rod]

Good start, but why is our bigs always try to run the fast-break, the point guard should always get the ball on a fastbreak.

The bigs saw Gasol run the break and score.

[cdt3]

Nice move by Hawes. That's the kind of post moves he needs to do vs the Lakers.

[cdt3]

All right. The Kings finish the quarter strong and the Lakers do not.

[cdt3]

Hawes dominating Bynum.

Wolfay,
I'm getting screwed by AT&T too. I called and they can't explain what is going on or fix it. My assumption is that they did not renew their contract with Comcast Sports to rebroadcast the game for the 2010 year. I have seen this happen before. Somebody *$%ked up big time.

[OGSactownballer]

Anybody know where I can get a live stream of the game besides nba.com (I don't want to pay $100 for a single game!)?

Thanks OGSactownballer. I called too and got the same bullcrap. Hopefully they can resolve this issue before we miss too many games.

We're leading the world champions I can't see it. @#$%!

Omri casspi, Are you Freaking Kidding Me?

[OGSactownballer]

Apparently it's fixed now. I'm watching.
