Kings(4-8) at Lakers(6-7),Sunday,November 24th,6:30 PM PT

Missed the game last night but went through the game log. Looks like we consistently put it to them.

Also, we're now the 11th ranked defense in the league, and we've been steadily improving since Nash went out of the lineup. I believe we were 23rd or so before Blake took over for Nash, and Hill being inserted also has something to do with that.

We're still 22nd in offensive rating, but I suspect that'll improve once Kobe returns.

I'd think you'd find a big difference in offensive rating between home and away games for us. We've just been making shots at home, Pau is playing well but our road losses have all been pretty bad with Pau especially under-performing.

This is still not great because there's only 2 teams in the west below 0.500. That's just brutal competition.

Can't wait till Kobe's back. Will free up some room for Hill in the paint to get them buckets and offensive boards.

Washington, Brooklyn and Detroit are winnable games. We're catching all these teams at the ripe time for picking. Washington has no sense of how they want to play from game to game, Brooklyn is just a wreck. They're us from last season.....lotta names on paper but old, not athletic and the coaching has been awful.

Detroit will probably be the toughest game on the trip, we better do at least 2-1.

Wizards have been playing much better ball as of late. I believe we've won 3 out of our last 4 games.

I can't make a thread but we have Kobe for 2 more years!

Then we should have the makings of a great game, plus Washington has been playing us pretty tough the last few years in the nations capitol.

Wall's been playing out of his mind the last week to 10 days or so as well. Also we're getting Ariza back, not sure if Kobe is coming back for y'all tomorrow, but that's who I'm assuming Ariza would guard.

Naw Kobe didn't make the trip, I'm guessing he comes back once they return. Sunday we play Portland but I doubt he plays in that game because he won't have any practice time. So it's up in the air on when he comes back, but for me personally it's no reason to rush. Hell we've played the 2nd toughest schedule in the whole NBA, only played 2 sub .500 teams in the process and have only been blown out twice and those were on back to backs and still managed to stay near the supposed better teams than us and a 7-7 record.

But the media and outside haters are sleeping on us, that's the same reason why we throat slashed Houston and the Clippers. And it's going to be more teams getting caught slip'in......bank on it.
