The Kings are a really bad team. Here's hoping Lopez destroys Cousins.

From ARCO arena to Sleep Train arena? Yikes...

I thought it was a joke or something when I first saw that pic. Doesn't make for a great marketing tool. Come watch the Kings at the Sleep Train... does that mean I'll fall asleep from the boredom?

Wasn't it also called PowerBalance Pavilion or something before this? They desperately need a new arena, too bad their management sucks.

[vincecarter4pres]

We better win this game, I have a victory song all queued up ready to go.

[DarkXaero]

I expect the Kings to be motivated going by their pre-match comments, and return of Cousins.

What are the odds Travis Outlaw uses this game as his Kings coming out party?

Honestly, wouldn't really surprise me if Outlaw has a "revenge" game against us. At least for the last few years, we've been the team that some random scrub has a monster game against.

Although he should really be thanking us every day of his life for giving him that contract.

[Paradise]

I really don't want us to overlook this team and start thinking about the Lakers. We should be able to end this game by half time....that's if Avery decides to use Marshon Brooks. But I'm pretty sure, we'll see our new 6th man, Jerry Stackhouse get his minutes.

I know what what you're sayin in regards to previous years of Nets ball allowing random players to shine. Hopefully those days are in the past.

I have a feeling this team knows how to beat the teams they should beat, so hopefully they contain them for 4 quarters and grab another win.

[MrDollarBills]

Anything less than a 12 point win will be unacceptable.

Interesting that you picked the Deftones because they're from Sacramento.

I hope we give y'all a competitive game.

Boom. I want to see Wallace and Evans on the floor at the same time. I highly doubt Lazy-D Cousins could match the in your face intensity those two bring.

(Why do I feel like I'm setting myself up to eat crow? )

"I couldn’t put weight on it. They said my ankle rolled all the way over my two bones hit together."

Wallace is on a minutes restriction in Sacramento, and will be re-evaluated before Tuesday’s game against the Lakers – "it’s a day-to-day deal with him," Avery Johnson said.

"It’s not 100 percent. I still have stiffness, especially waking up," Wallace said. "It’s something I have to work through. But I’m not going to sit out and wait until I’m 100 percent with a sprained ankle. That could be a long time."

Not even sure if I should be happy he's playing or uspet he's still not healthy. That injury should have never happened.
