This Kings circus would be a lot less funny if their fans weren't holding hands and living in constant denial. :lol:

From Maloofs to Ranadive, that must be hard.

I hope we can poach Dean Oliver to head our new analytics operation now.

I feel like there's a Rudy Gay stat sheet joke to be made here.

Hibachi lives!

Arenas apparently brought back his catchphrase Sunday while on one of those hot shooting streaks. He provided evidence via his Instagram account, along with this caption:


“We just got banned from all the basketball hoops at #orangecountyfair…every one screamed #theRimsarebent I screamed #hibachi …#ArenasFamily #CountyFairRockstars”

Most recent power rankings have us at 24 (below the Kings and Knicks). I feel like we're being underrated to an extent, but considering we still don't know who is going to start at the 2 on opening day it's not all that surprising.

Sounds about right. I like to hope the Lakers have an amazing year, Hibbert shores up our defense, Kobe comes back to All-Star form, our rooks play their minds out, but can't keep my hopes up.
