I might be able to catch this one, would be great to see a game while we're playing as well as we are now.
Toronto just won against Dallas, so we're no more tied at 6th.
Let's go Bobcats, keep playing good ball !

You guys are playing tremendously well right now.

I won't wish you good luck, though. The playoff race is pretty tight.

I've seen more Kings games this year than any other team besides the Bobcats. They're blast to watch and I can't wait to see them get smashed in person tomorrow. ;)

I haven't seen a Kings game all season - which is annoying because I was such a Tyreke fan heading into the draft.

After seeing so much of them chabber, what do you suggest we do/how do we have to play in order to beat them?

Martin is playing so we have to look at that. Sacramento's defense is terrible and we need to expose that by denying Tyreke the ball and not allowing Martin to get good looks. Toronto is playing great basketball since finally realizing that Calderon is better off the bench.

Until they went on a huge slump recently and everything looks like a mess now. Earlier, the Kings played with great effort and heart every game. But with the string of close games that we lost, it completely drained all of the youngsters' hope and effort. This is our lowest point of the season.

We had games that was winnable for us i.e. Sixers, Warriors, Wizards and etc, but we failed to capitalized them and lost. If you guys bring the effort and play your strengths/execute the offensive, you will win the game.

With that said, good luck to you guys! Hopefully the Kings get back to their scrappy, effort and high energy style of basketball soon.

I'm shocked no one has pointed out that Fatty Fat Fat will be making his triumphant return to the Queen City.

Is he even on the roster any more? I would think that bringing in Armstrong all but signaled the end of Fat Boys career in the NBA.

So, here is the million dollar question (IMO).

Should Felts guard Tyreke and Jax guard Martin
OR
Should Felts guard Martin and Jax guard Tyreke

From what I seen, Jax is one of the only players that can limit Evans strengths. Jax did a pretty good job on Evans when he was with the Warriors. (But that was early into the season, right now, Evans improved by a lot).

If Felton is on Martin, Martin should have a field day against him. Felton is giving up 7 inches on his matchup.

Felts is big enough to guard Martin's hip and that's where he blasts off from, but Jax isn't fast enough to keep Evans in front of him. I think team defense prevails-- both guys have good but not spectacular games and only a couple of the other Kings do much damage. Cats win, a few fans over react because it's closer than they expect because of the Kings reputation lately and find a scapegoat in Diaw and a future draft choice to be named later.

and may will feel right at home sitting in a suit on the bench tomorrow, just on the wrong end of the court.

good thing we called his bluff and passed on signing him (even though i wanted to resign him for vet min).

I hope that we are not overconfident after Suns game... Sacramento has some talent to upset us.

Tyreke is so fast, I think I'd rather start Ray on him to see if Ray can shake the kid's confidence and rattle him a bit by covering him like a glove.

Long as we are not overconfident, I think we'll be fine. But the Kings are no pushover. And LB has to guard against the guys thinking this is a cupcake after the previous 3 wins. And with Miami lurking, have to stay focused.

Finally a Bobcats game at a decent time.
