enjoy your retirement bill, you will be greatly missed....

Yeah, you're dreaming a LOT harder than even I've been. I don't know why the Kings give up Martin for anything less than a star.

Arco Arena used to be one of the loudest and most feared places in the league for visiting teams.It could regain that status if the Sacramento Kings continue to pile up wins at their current pace.Closing out its four-game homestand Tuesday night, Sacramento goes for its first five-game winning streak in three seasons when it faces a Chicago Bulls team opening an extended road trip.

Bulls fan here. Good luck tonight. It's going to feel awkward getting hack by Nocioni. Nice game thread too. Love those Bill Walton quotes. We all miss him.

Both teams 5-4, somethings got to give. Peace to the gods…

[Fola314]

I think Noc is questionable for the game with a hip pointer. We may get to see Omri get his first start. I hope we get this win.

[JSrose115]

i need to go to this game.

[sdeezy]

Bulls fan here. Hoping for a good game tonight. I'm a big Tyreke fan, he's gonna be special.

P.S. Thats a hell of a game thread you got going there

[pillwenney]

Those Bill Walton quotes are awesome.

I'll probably have to catch a replay of the game tonight.

Bulls fan here, lets have a gg

[perezident]

OHH men i could hear Bill Walton sayin "WESTERN CIVILIZATION" right now lol.

I'm really hoping Noc plays tonight! We are going to need his defense on Deng! And his outside shooting coming off those curls screens.

Hopefully Evans answers the play of Jennings and dominate on both ends of the floor. I'm hoping for a 30/10/10 game for him.

Kenny will have a big game tonight 11/11! And JT the kid will have a monster game 30/15!

I expect Hawes to have a field day from the arc tonight 5 three's

There will BENO stopping Beno Udrih tionight with dishing out 14 assists!

Kings steam roll the Bulls. 116-92

Amick says Nocioni is doubtful to play tonight and that Greene will likely start.

It will be interesting to see how Greene performs today.

Bulls fan in Sacramento here, I'll be at the game.

[Nicky Nix Nook]

Ill be the guy walking around the arena with a purple paint can, throwing it on people with Bulls paraphernalia.

[ICMTM]

Man I can't remember the last time I was excited to watch Kings basketball on TV!!!

I just hope we continue to play quality basketball. I'd like to see Beno v Kirk Hinrch in this one. There's Youtube footage of Derrick Rose v Tyreke Evans already out there.

[Wolfay]

It may be a good thing Noc is out because he might want to take over the game against his former team only to make a fool of himself.

Westphal is showing some confidence in Greene if he starts. It should be interesting to see how he does.

[darkadun]

Should be a good game all the way around. And if Greene starts it will be very interesting, he is still a total wildcard in terms of what he is capable of.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Derrick Rose still isn't 100 percent, but he's getting there.

In October, the Chicago Bulls' point guard said that it would take about a month for him to fully recover from an ankle tendon injury which sidelined him for most of the preseason. As November winds down, Rose admits that he still isn't back to where he would like to be.

"Not yet," he said after the Bulls shootaround Tuesday morning. "I still haven't been feeling aggressive yet, but you'll probably see it in [Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings]. I'm going to come out and just try to fight and be way, way more aggressive."

Watch out 'Reke!

I hope these guys guard each other. Can't wait for this game.

Nocioni out makes me believe the Dalembert deal IS going down...

Nocioni out makes me believe the Dalembert deal IS going down...

lol dont worry about that, its just a dust in the wind rumour. Tonight will be a great game, and i feel that Noc will play tonight just because the Bulls are his former team and I bet hes aching to get back at them.

[Anton]

anybody knows whats the status on Casspi?
its -5-frigging'-a.m.- and if he is still out i am gonna be mad
