Around SBN: Fedor vs Rogers Results and Live Coverage

From the Desk of Geoff Petrie

We received the following form letter from Geoff Petrie yesterday giving his measure of the season  -- couched, of course, in "please continue to support us" language (apologies for any typos):

Dear {name redacted}:

Our 2007-08 season has now concluded with a final record of 38 wins and 44 losses, resulting in a five-game improvement over the 2006-07 campaign.  I hope you share with us, at least in part, the sense that our rebuiling efforts have forged some very positive potential going forward.  There were 10 victories against first place clubs, with nine of those coming at ARCO.  We were a much improved home team from a season ago, which is one of the important first steps in generating a winning record in the future.

A younger nucleus continues to devlop as Kevin Martin, Francisco Garcia, Beno Udrih, and Spencer Hawes all are 26 years of age or younger.  We also saw the ongoing improvement of a dynamic new coach in Reggie Theus.  Looking ahead, we feel the attrition we experienced last year was curtailed and we can add to that young nucleus through the ownership of all our draft picks in the coming years and future salary cap flexibility. I can assure you we will contiue to work as creatively as possible to support your enjoyment as a Season Ticket Holder.

In closing, I want to thank you for your past support and enthusiasm.  There are obviously many alternatives out there for your entertainment resources.  I believe the Kings, along with the rest of the NBA's teams, remain a vibrant choice for all of us who enjoy basketball played consistently at the highest levels the game can demand.  I look forward to reuniting with you at ARCO Arena later this year.

Sincerely,

s/Geoff Petrie

Looks like they forgot something.

I get the feeling the end should say “Dictated but not read”

Heh

Well at least Geoff can say he did something if he fails to pull off any trades (again) this offseason.
