Sacramento Kings at New Jersey Nets, Jan 5, 2009 4:30 PM PST
How odd that Brad Miller has hit his stride as the Kings roll into the gym of the team against which Miller initially lost his stride. The Nets loss seems to be the point at which most Kings devotees (around here, at least) soured on B-52 to the point of trade pleas.
But Miller's been a beast since ... hmm ... Spencer Hawes went out with an injury to the abdomen. How odd that Miller and Hawes would both struggle so much in the Ivory Towers line-up. I mean, it makes sense: at this point, the players have similar strengths and weaknesses, with a couple important deviations. But it was still odd to see.
The question marks still hang on Beno Udrih like nooses, and Francisco Garcia seems trapped in 2006-07. More than any King, Garcia has actually looked frustrated and bothered and unsettled. The injury after the contract is said to have broken his heart, and the sacking of his mentor couldn't have helped. But Garcia's a man, man, and this cannot stand. He'll bounce back, hopefully soon.
Perhaps this is a discussion for tomorrow, but I'd like to make it known I am personally perfectly OK with Kevin Martin off the bench. Hell, he scored 45 points Saturday, and easily could have had 50 with a couple breaks (a foul call on the travel, a little more patience on the last possession). 46 off the bench. He'll get his shots any time, obviously. And Natt's giving him good minutes. He didn't get to play with Beno any in this model (rather, Beno doesn't get to play with Kevin), but the arrangement doesn't exactly seem broke.
Game's at 4:30PM. Enjoy, and go Kings.

Go Kings!!!!
Look for JT to have a career night off of his jersey retirement yesterday at Rider. Kings had a camera man there covering it yesterday interviewing the whole family look for something on Kings.com. I am hoping for a road win here, they should have won one of the last two games. It will be interesting to see what the starting line up will be.

Why aren't you going to the game screaming your ass off in a JT Kings/Rider half & half jersey?

I agree with TZ it's not a big deal Martin coming off the bench
but it would be easier to get his minutes and rest and still be fresh at the end of the half/game if he started.

still 4 minutes of "rest" wasted
so if he’s going to play 20 minutes a half he’d have to play 20 minutes straight.

We looked horrible when they had Harris and no K-Mart for us. K-Mart comes in and suddenly we look like an NBA team again.
Loved that last drive by Bobby Brown finding a cutting Miller, and I like the guys looking for Speed.

One theory I have about JT so far
Is that he has so much nervous energy, that playing in a b2b scenario helps him because he has to play with a balls out zealous passion to have that edge he has when he plays with it. On a b2b it’s hard to conserve your energy, but JT doesn’t, and tomorrow, that should be something the Kings need to try & take advantage of.

after the first six minutes:

2) JT was awesome
3) omg, K9 was really good
4) Beno’s second stint was really good, playing with some hustle and fire

we have
the perfect guards for an inside outside game. but unfortunately our only guys who even look like scoring inside are a rookie and a 2nd year. if we give a shit about winning a few games this year, we need to get back some sort of post player in one of the trades hopefully coming up. …but do we really care bout winning anyway?
by thisismellow on Jan 5, 2009 6:56 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Probably not
One way to look at the 2009 draft pick is that a point guard with long range potential may be the way to go with Beno around, that way, as Beno’s contract gets shorter, it may be easier to deal him when “Ricky Rubio” (the quotes are hypothetical) is ready to play at the NBA level. Remember, if the Kings drafted a player like Jennings, who would be 20, and Rubio, who would be barely 19 by the time the season started, you would have a steep learning curve. It takes time with more seasoned PG’s from college, like Gary Payton, or Bobby Hurley, or you get the point, and with younger kids, it takes even more. (I think the 2009 draft may be about the PG though.)

but i feel
that they are playing a style of game that is destined to fail. i realise our strength is on the wings right now….but surely it’s gotta be mixed up a little. i mean tonight it was lopez and boone guarding the post. surely there’s a few scores in there somewhere?

WOOF!
We lost (again)
We choked in the 4th (again)
Random incapable players killed us (Yi, Hayes) (again)
Beno sucked (again)
Salmons couldn’t play with Martin around (again)
JT was stable (again)
Martin was unstoppable (again)
BUT WHO WAS THAT DUDE WITH No 9 ON HIS BACK WITH 4 STEALS, 8 REBS AND 1 BLOCK???

Is anyone really surprised Kenny Thomas can rebound?

Well...if we pick up Rubio, we'll have all of Spain behind the Kings, too

well i could google it but that's like what
3 million spaniards and half a million furious basques? Since I think I read today that rubio won’t be declaring for the 09 draft we will be seeing some really bad ball for us to be in the top of the lottery for 2010. i am prepared for a bad bad bad 08/09 season but another full season of this might be even too much for me.

That should be the headline in the Bee tomorrow night BJ
But, we all know it won’t be.

Jrue
Holiday?
I’m pretty sure the population of L.A. is more than the population of Spain.
Though, truth be told, those Basques should probably count for 2.
Hmm…

hey Furious
I haven’t seen Holiday play, but looking at his numbers, they don;t seem too amazing. I realise he is a freshmen, however. Does he look like a real good raw talent?? He obviously has good size for a PG.

K9
8 boards, 4 steals, 2 points in 24 minutes. Also a blocked shot and no turnovers.
Let the “but but but he makes a lot of money!” flaming begin.
You can’t trade a guy like this if he doesn’t play.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.

The Kings need a guy
who does the dirty work.
The good thing about Kenny is he knows if he puts up some lame-ass shot, he goes back into exile.
So maybe we can get some production out of him if he realizes he’s there to rebound, set picks, lay guys on their ass and dunk if it’s available. Anything else is verboten.

At this point
I don’t think Kenny’s skills as a basketball player will come into account one way or another tradewise. He has entered the realm of “expiring contract” status, and the teeter-totter is slowly tilting towards his contract being a valuable asset rather than an anchor.

Yup yup yup
That was the crux of my fanpost, with regards to Kenny, and B52 I suppose, in the swap for Marbury. It’s just another set of asset’s New York has to play with up until the summer of 10.

I didn't get to read it closely, but I will
I know GMs have been lukewarm to Brad from a trade standpoint, but I do think he can increase his trade value a bit with solid play. I have my doubts with Kenny – there aren’t many GMs that are going to be fooled by a couple of good games, when the guy has received numerous DNP-CDs under various coaches.

I fail to see how it matters to the Knicks
It’s 2 more trade chips, to the tune of 21 million next season, that they can use in their qwest to attract LeBron.

Fair point
But any more doors that can be opened is a good thing – it’s hard to put your chips on one player personnel guy to make a deal for Brad, especially one as good as Walsh has historically been.

I'm going to keep making this point
But, this is not a player deal for Walsh. It’s a business one, and the aim is to improve the Knicks by having the financial asset’s everyone else already craves. At that point, it won’t matter whether Miller is something he wants or not.

Story of the ballgame
Kevin Martin comes back into the game with 10:18 left and the score tied 76-76. He gets one shot in the first six minutes, which he misses. His second shot of the quarter is blocked by Boone with 4:27 left. He makes 2 of 4 down the stretch and adds a pair of free throws, but the Kings have already given another game away.
Guys: pass Kevin Martin the damn ball.

Isn't there a lil bit of irony there in you asking the other players to pass Kevin the damn ball?

I'm not sure
But you probably see a lot of irony.
Bottom line: Martin is the best player on the team BY FAR and the offense should go through him and he should be getting and taking those shots. He shouldn’t go six minutes between shots when the game is on the line.
