Solid victory, for sure

Ron just continues to do what he's been doing - play high-level basketball on both ends of floor in multiple ways. So fun to watch, once again. His defense is excellent. I'm so glad things have gone okay with his daughter. His post-game interviews have been fun

.

Beno played a strong game, 18 pts and 10 assists, out played Mike decently.

Brad didn't have too much of a ngiht offensively, but got going later in the 2nd half, and still kept on with the defense and rebounding effectively. Got to love that.

Kevin had a good night, constant through-out the game, seemingly. I really liked the one play in transition on defense, where he deflected the ball off Al Horford. Smart play. I don't mind seeing some fire like that from Kevin, on that tech he got.

Garcia continues to get better and play . I love how his jumper is, and I feel like it'll go in a good deal of the time.

Shelden overall played well in his minutes! I just like what he brings, and how he can get better. He was a factor out there.

Mike had an up and down game, naturally with his heel and getting used to a new team. Overall a cool night for him, though.

Spencer had an okay outing. Especially liked the shotblock he got.

Well, if this is Ron's last game, last bunch of games as a King - I enjoyed the hell out of it. Though, I still don't know if he's traded. And to be direct, I'd have to side with keeping him! Whatever happens, happens, though.

If this is Ron Artest's last game as a King, then he went out on top, he has been bully for us, and we are no longer the soft team that all the elites would pick on like we where in the Peja era and Ron had a big part in changing this teams thought process.

Actually Ron "is" the toughness that you talk about here. If HE is traded then our only toughness and low post presence goes with him.

If our 3 point guys are on, we might win, if we can stop anybody which is doubtful. If they're not on that night, we're to lose, plain and simple.

Were Benos 10 assists quiet, or did they show in his gameplay?

mixture, some where nice passes where he drew traffic and kicked it out.

Others simple passes and the guys made their open shots, i love Benos game though, he will work hard for everything.

I think Shelden, Salmons, Brad, and Garcia would give us a toughness still. Obviously not as significant as Ron, but still obvious and present.
