Finally
got into the “live” stream on nba.com. It’s showing as the first quarter though, so I guess it’s behind…

Looks like the Artest deal
with Sacramento is creating quite a stir up... especially with what Mike Fisher wrote on how we could get him.
I think though to a degree, looking at both arguments, the Kings are over-valuing Artest more than they should, and we are under-valuing them more so than we should. I think JET could be used in a trade, but also think that getting Garcia wont happen, any deal done will MUST include bass, and we will undoubtedly have to take on Thomas’s contract….

I like these countdowns they show during halftime
Though I completely disagreed with the best playoff slam dunks of all time. The one they just showed now was top game winners of the season…Dirk’s GW three against Utah was #1.

That was such an awesome game
wasnt it that one, that sealed us for the playoffs also?

I think so
I could be wrong, but I’m inclined to agree with you. Yes, that was an awesome game…I was totally freaking out at the end.

Anyone
know how the Divisions will be re-worked out west now that OKC has a team?
I cant imagine OKC not being in our division… right?
by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 5:55 PM CDT 0 recs
Haven't found out anything about that yet
Maybe Memphis will slide over to the East?

I thought that
but then we would have more teams out east, than out west and a pacific division with only 3 teams… with the other two having 4

Okay, did some research
OKC will stay put in the Northwest division.

Unless Green did two scoops to the hoop…are you watching online? My score is 54-37.

EVER… Once you watch tv without commercials, its hard to ever watch them with them… so much time wasted with commercials.

Yeah, I bet
This is why I watch my TV shows online. Even if I get to them a day late, I don’t care, since there is only like one commercial per break online.

Oh yeah
Off topic…Germany won today and Puerto Rico lost, but both are in the quarters. Dirk had 35 in today’s game and no fouls. Germany will play Brazil next and Puerto Rico will play Slovenia.

Green is
getting most his points from the FT line… going 6-6… has 10 points
by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:11 PM CDT 0 recs
Maybe he didn't like sitting out the last game
Playing well tonight

he would do well in Avery's system
cuz with his play being so up and down, he would definitely see his stretches of not playing

seriously… he would have a suite in Avery’s dog house… probably occupy what was Devin’s suite for so many years

He didn’t deserve to be in the doghouse that often. Looks like he calls the plays in New Jersey now.

Green
18 points, 8 rebounds…
One could live with that on a consistent basis from the sg spot.

not yet
I was just thinking that… we only have one more slot left.
I was also thinking that McLeod was a bad signing… but I dont think his is guaranteed.

Is Green guaranteed?
All I remember is that his contract is for one year.

he is on the team no matter what this year… unless we release him and continue to pay him

Wonder if the Kings are tired
Their game vs. Portland went to OT.
by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:22 PM CDT 0 recs
He is not
I don’t think they want to take any chances with him. I was really impressed by Bayless and this Finnish kid, Koponen.

At least they're not having scoring problems in this game
Last night during the Kings/Blazers game they kept stopping due to how the scoreboard is different from what the scorekeepers have…and they were actually doing the math by hand at one point, not even using a calculator. Thankfully it was fixed.
by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:31 PM CDT 0 recs
Not a lot
Just a few minutes, but it was annoying. They had given one team two points from a pair of free throws, then the refs took the points away, and then gave them back after doing the math.

Low
always seems to have more court vision than Mcleod does… why he doesnt get more PT is kinda surprising…
by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:41 PM CDT 0 recs
It sucks
cuz it improves the Hornets next year… but I think his play is a little over-rated. No one gave him a second thought before last year, then had a really good run with the C’s and is now cashing in on it.
I would be really surprised if he has the same type of impact on the Hornets as he did with the C’s. Especially if Peja goes down (likely could, as he is injury prone) and he see’s more minutes, his so-so play will come out. 4 year commitment means he will be 36-ish when that contract is done.

I personally can't stand the guy since he was with the Heat and the Celtics
But he is solid defensively and does not hesitate to take the big shots when it counts. It does suck that the Hornets improved…I just feel like we’re running in place or something. I don’t know, maybe this whole Kidd trade will work out once the season starts.

Im still holding
out in hopes that we make another move. I DO think that the way the roster is right now, is the one we head into the season with, but I hope I’m wrong… so we dont have yet another “well, when we have a full training camp, we’ll see what happens” comes out of the FO again.
I wish we would just make a move now, get it right from the get-go this year, and then tweak it if we need to at the trade deadline… not over-haul it.
