GAME 25 - at Denver

1. I read somewhere that Denver was chartering a plane to ship out Miller but I can't find the link. Karl is seeking the anti-Viagra as we speak just thinking about starting Mr. Iverson tonight.

2. I have a hangnail that kinda hurts a little bit. Been bothering me for weeks. Indulge me, TZ, and cough up the Starters list and a haiku or I shall pout on the couch.

3. There will be no Carmelo magazines on the flight. Maybe the guys will relax by bashing Ron behind his back instead of reading. Love the chemistry. Team-building 101.

4. A five-spot says Grant owns and wears a fur lined hat like a Russian soldier. Another fiver says Jerry owns and wears a snowboarder hat with bright purple faux dreadlocks.

5. The Kings will win tonight and then celebrate by making very tall snow angels and write their names in the snow before they exchange Secret Santa gifts. The Chia Bibby will be a huge hit.

Ugh.  The gold jerseys are hurting my eyes.  
(I didn't know they'd be back this season)

This is infuriating!!
It was a 15 point lead with a min+, and it's down to 7 at halftime.  Costly turnovers, silly fouls, and getting beat on the offensive glass.  

What else is new?

Triple-Double tonight for Salmons... WOW

John Salmons had a triple double.  

Brad Miller had a good game for the 2nd consecutive game.

Maybe things are looking up?  Muss has discovered that Salmons can create for himself and others and decided to just let him run things?  

Honestly, if the Kings could trade Bibby for either cap space and a pick, or a big man and a pick, I'd take it.  Salmons and Martin clearly are capable of handling things in the backcourt.

Tall snow angels! Names in the snow! Check it out Sports Center...the Kings played too and Salmons was our Answer. He gets the Chia Bibby.

Very cool night. I LOVE our win but I also loved seeing Denver's love for AI. Amazing. The guy can stumble into town, meet his teammates and put up a game like he did. Clone him!

merry f-in' christmas

i don't watch a game and the kings win.

p.s. check my earlier threads somewhere where i said petrie is starting to look like a genius for acquiring john salmons

Bibby is still finding ways to lower his shooting percentage, but at least he is not over-shooting anymore, and he is averaging about 8 assists over his last 4 games.  Aside from the poor shooting and defense and leadership and decision-making (boy, that's a long list), the most disappointing thing about Bibby's season is that he is averaging fewer assists than Allen Iverson and Gilbert Arenas, two of the higest scorers and biggest chuckers in the league.  Heck, his assist average is barely higher than Kobe's!  I recall when we traded J-Will for Bibby, we were supposed to be getting a point guard who would run the offense instead of firing up wild shots.  Now J-Will has become that guy and Mike has become the out-of-control chucker.  If Mike returns to the pass-first point guard we were promised when we traded for him in the first place, this team could go on a nice little streak.  The next two months will be the most important stretch for this team, because the schedule from late February/early March to the end of the season is incredibly brutal - it makes this last stretch of games look like a cakewalk.  We get a nice soft patch in the schedule in January and February, so they desperately need to start piling up some wins.  The win last night was a great start, even if the Nuggets were playing without 3 of their 4 best players.
