From the NBA.com preview:

"Sacramento commits an NBA-worst 16.7 turnovers per game and also averages the fewest rebounds (39.6) and assists (17.9) in the Western Conference."

Justin Williams will have a coming out party and Quincy Douby will go for 40.

You know, probably not.  But its nice to hope...

I predict Cisco and Douby to go for at least a combined 50 pts. Somewhere around Garcia for 30 and Douby for 20....Although Howard has taken over the role as the most dominating player in the NBA, I hope they take it at him and at least attempt to draw some fouls on him. I think that will be the Kings only chance of a W. The Kings strategy board should just say,"TRY TO DRAW FOULS ON DWIGHT HOWARD!" Especially with the game being at Arco, where we get "good" Sacramento officiating. There's almost always a player on the other team who feels the calls are so unfair at Arco. Hopefully that will be Howard.

It appears Salmons will play.

Not only is he the Kings' best offensive threat (probably), but I have to endure the Orlando announcers butchering his name. That "l" is an "l", not an "m". That's annoying.

at the beginning. Which is what everyone was expecting.

Of course, I am thrilled to get out of there with a win, but the play down the stretch was terrible again: 1 on 1, TOs, no offensive flow.  And not recognizing that the 3 ball is the one shot that Orlanda cannot have. The incredibly high TO rate is an on-going concern.

Theus needs to recognize when teams are likely to press at the end of games, and that Moore cannot be on the floor during those times. (Bring in ball handlers, coach!) My God, does that man have terrible hands or what?

I know that I wasn't the only not agreeing with Grant when he was declaring "game over" with about 6 minutes left. This team just cannot play 48 minutes of consistent ball.

Still, I doubt too many people would predict a Kings' win tonight, and they went out and got the W. And, as usual, the effort was awesome to watch. These guys play hard. Go Kings!  

I'd maybe believe them. I've tried to analyze the game via boxscore, but shit, I can't figure it out. No recaps online yet, so I'll just ask some qs.

So, ShardLoo fouled out. What? He doesn't play enough defense to foul out. Charging plays, maybe? Trying too make something out of nothing with Dwight out and Hedo struggling (explained shortly)?

And Dwight's got four fouls... did he get in foul trouble early and was pulled out? 37 minutes of gametime says no, but Brad and Mikki's combine 28 points against the everglades beast... really? How?

Hedo goes 1-5 from deep - off night, or good d (and who was playing it? b/c Hedo's taller than everyone who doesn't qualify to play center on our team).

Douby? Legitimate?
JJ Redick gets ten points in eight minutes. What the eff, when were his minutes? Did they come late, early, in the middle?
Their starting guards v our starting guards = no contest. Bejeezles.

Both teams 80+% from the charity stripe. Wowsers.

Doing it the cheap way since it's late and I'm tired -

There is a big blue tarp hanging in the rafters of the arena to help channel water from a leak in the roof. Do we need a new arena, or is this just a clever ploy from those Maloof rascals?

Dwight Howard scored early, but Brad Miller scored late, driving the lane on several occasions. The end result between Howard and Miller was closer to a push than we could have ever dreamed.

Quincy Douby had his best run since the Golden State home game last year.

John Salmons is a tough hombre. Dahntay Jones is tough hombre II.

I like Mikki Moore. I really do. But those hands!!!

It was easy not to like SVG tonight, and Reggie looks much better on the sidelines.

Bibby and Hedo had a very nice conversation coming out of a timeout. I wonder if C-Webb is in town and if they hooked up. Good times.

Remember how this team used to struggle offensively whenever Miller wasn't on the floor? That honor has been passed on to Beno Udrih.

End transmission. Begin sleep.

That was a mistake, because Hawes, Douby and Jones were doing great. As soon as the starters came back in, the lead was cut to 13 right away, and it got worse from there. They started losing the three shooters and committing turnovers.

If Theus had left the subs in, Orlando was just about to wave the white towel. A ciuple more buckets would have about done it. Instead they gained new life.

Milk what's working until it stops working, no matter how unusual the source. Kind of like Redick leading the Orlando comeback.
