Sacramento (9-8) @ Phoenix (14-5)

[a-rod]

1.Ignore Posters Reference To Facts And Create Your Own Reality :

Kevin Martin is a chucker

2.Dont Watch Games To Judge Players Use Stats:

Maggette+Azubuilke+Ellis EACH top Martin in FG %.

3.Take Homerism to Another Level:

another part of the reason why Evans gets to the line more than Derrick is b/c Evans doesn't drive as gracefully as Rose does.

Great basketball IQ... One of the most creative players in the league... A true floor leader... Outstanding playmaker... Knows how to make fast breaks successful... Can create his own (sometimes tricky) shots... Outstanding shooter... Simply great from the three-point line... Makes no mistake from the charity stripe... Great ballhandler in traffic... Bad defensive player... A superstar, though.

Coming off consecutive blowout losses on the road, the Phoenix Suns aren’t panicking as they head into Saturday’s Pacific Division matchup.Fifteen consecutive home wins likely gives them some added confidence.
The Suns look for their eighth straight victory at home against the Sacramento Kings, who are going for their first five-game winning streak in three seasons.

This is going to be a tough one. Guys like Nash, Hill and Amare usually have their ways against us. Heck, even Frye was torching us the last game.

I think our concentrated rebounding effort will be the significant key to keep this game close. Plus we need both Evans and Thompson to have very good game to have a chance to a team like the Suns.

And our bench should give us a boast in this game. Our bench (and starters) like high tempo, so we should able to play with them without too much damage.

Should be a interesting game for sure. I'm curious to see how well Tyreke can play Nash on defense. If he can play him tough, we have a good chance.

[RIPskaterdude]

After two blowout losses, I don't see the Suns losing to us. I just hope that we keep it close and have a chance to win at the end.

Paul Westphal is my Idol. He's already making the Kings play good basketball. Wish him the best of luck this season and many to come.

Good luck Kings fans should be an entertaining game.

The kings should half ass this game. They're playing PHX in PHX. This is the first game of a back to back, if we try hard we're going to lose anyway. It'll make the team tired for tomorrow's game against Miami, which we have a better chance of winning.

Eh, this is the type of team we can OUTWORK to win. Phoenix is soft on the glass and poor defensively.

Kings have shown that they have the ability to win against mediocre teams at home. Now the Kings need to show that the can win on the road...to any team regardless of the opponent's strength. I view this as a must win game for the Kings in order to demonstrate that they have actually improved.

Spencer has to go up strong and dunk that s**t.

[RIPskaterdude]

good start from Evans

[pillwenney]

Well I can't complain too much so far, but I'd like to see us slow down the pace. If it keeps up at this pace, it will become a playmaking match between our turnover-prone team and Steve Nash, and that won't be good.

[pillwenney]

lawl - dumb suns announcer say that Kenny had started 1 game and said that Kenny had played 1 game.

[pillwenney]

Ugh...just not a good quarter. A couple of really bad turnovers hurt (those last two with JT missing a pass, and Beno being the Beno of old were especially bad), but the main problem is that we just can't stop fouling them.

[cuad]

Omg the Kings getting bail out calls! Whew Casspi has some ugly lookin' free throws.

^Gary Bender is getting up there in age, so I'll cut him some slack this time.

[cuad]

[pillwenney]

Ughh...stupid TO's lead to transition play, which is the only way they can score without Nash.

edit: Man, Spencer is having a tough night. He just can't get anything to fall around the basket. He's getting really good shots, too.

[KingInExile]

First couple of minutes of the game were good, then we turned to s**t. I just don't have high hopes at this point.

[SadKingsFan]

Spencer Hawes is just AWFUL.

[cuad]

Don't worry guys they're just following the game plan I outlined for them.
