great game!
Love this team!

No player in the history of the league has ever had at least 24 pts, 6 3P made, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 2 steals in the same game… Other than Donte Green.

His future [i]s so bright…
He has to wear shades.

Noce and Hawes in the 1st
Greene and Sergio in the 2nd
Brockness, Greene and Evans in the 3rd
Greene, Evans and Sergio in the 4th

I’d love to see more happen with the offense when Sergio has the ball. It’s always a quick drive and pass or a quick drive and lay up out of him. Can’t complain with a W though!

Donte Mutombo. Damn. Really liked how Donte didn’t try to do too much and he played his best game to date. 6 blocks is just damn crazy.

Hawes showed tons of patience. Loved seeing him DRIVE to the hole from the 3 point line.

Serge played admirably but I still wish he didn’t sling those risky alley-oop passes into a crowd. His shot seems to be getting better. He’s still not ready for prime time…yet.

When will Hawes and JT have great games at the same frakkin’ time?

Really liked how ’Reke found his bigs in the paint and his shooters on the wing. He had 7 assists. Again, not bad for a combo guard. :P

Anyways, great game and HUGE night for Agent 20.

Let’s keep Jersey’s LOSING streak going on Friday.

Go Kings!

Very nice to get the monkey off their back for now. Excellent start, particularly Hawes and Nocioni, which all made for a nice opening act for The Donte Greene Show. Brockman played big, Sergio ignited the offense and Tyreke was pretty special even on a bit of an off-night for him. Love Omri’s enthusiasm.

Scouting the Knicks, David Lee is obviously a nice nugget. I also think Gallinari has a chance to be special, although the Kings took away his three ball for the most part tonight. They did a great job defending the 3, particularly after the first quarter.

Let’s beat the Nets!

Cannot really complain with a double double.

I finally got a new account because i lost my old password. Its good to be back on sactownroyalty and great win by the kings.

That game was unbearable to watch. This game I didn’t want to end it was so fun.

Hot damn did Donte play well. He looked like Josh Smith with 3 point range out there tonight. That dunk he had in the 3rd (I think it was the 3rd) was probably the best dunk I’ve ever seen by a Kings player next to Ronnie Price’s dunk on Boozer. His defense was also superb and his 3 point shot was really falling tonight. I think we wait one more game and if he keeps playing like this, the coaching staff really needs to consider whether to start him or not. I might expand on this more in a fanpost, but here’s the basic idea: You don’t start Donte at SF, you start him at SG. That way you regain the mismatch problem in the backcourt the Kings lost with K-Mart going out. In fact with Donte in there it would be an even bigger mismatch, and teams would be forced to put they’re point guards on ‘Reke because he’d be the smallest guy on the court. Let me know what you guys think.

Spencer played great for the time he was playing. I know he didn’t get to much playing time, but I think it was because we were winning so much and Paul really wanted to reward Brockman with minutes that he deserved. But really good start for Spencer.

JT didn’t really do anything to stand out, didn’t play much either (5 fouls in 25 minutes isn’t good though), but he had some good post ups against the weaker Knicks.

Reke had an off-night to me and he still put up 19 pts, 11 rbd, 7 ast, 2 stl. This kids for real. He had some good defensive moments too.

Nice to see Udoka get some PT too. He’s a quality defender.

Omri had a decent game as well, sort of what we’ve come to expect.

Sergio shot a little too much in this game and had a few sloppy turnovers, but I noticed him definitely at least trying on defense (he had a couple great steals too), and still ran the floor nicely. His speed lets him get to the basket almost as well as Reke’s craftiness.

The Knicks are not good. They had a lot of wide open layup opportunities that they passed up in favor of the 3 ball. Almost 43% of their shots were 3 but they only made 10-39. The Kings weren’t even defending the 3 ball all that well, most of those were relatively uncontested. I would not want to be the opposing team the night New York is feeling it though. Playing the Knicks sort of reminded me of playing the Warriors, although David Lee is better than any big on the Warriors and Al Harrington can hold his own against other PFs so they’re a little stronger inside.

Anyway really good game, hopefully the Donte Greene Show continues for many years to come.

Eric said that the Arco vibe is coming back and teams have to play tough when they come to Sac. They also called the package the ‘Donte Greene Highlights!’

Great way to cap the night.

That will make up for losing KMart….

Ohh boy, Mr. Donte Greene. I’m not the “I told you so” type (actually hate those type of people) but I really can’t help myself on his. I’ve been defending Donte for a while now and it feels so good to see this guy having games like this. You can say all you want about small sample sizes and that it has just been a couple games, but players don’t score over 20 on multiple games, show this effort on D, and get this numbers of blocks and then dissapear. Donte is growing as a player in front of our eyes and the Kings will be better for it. The best part is that he showed things on both ends of the court and was effective and impressive on both sides.

Donte Greene is an NBA player and everyone that talked so much shit about the kid should at least own up to the good things he’s doing now. I remember someone went to a summer league game and came back talking massive amounts of crap about Donte; I wish he would step up and talk about that now. Bluejohn has been admitting to this for a bit now and I can respect that a lot.

Anyways… that was my Donte rant (I’m just really happy for the guy.Now, keep it up e!!)

I thought it was a really good game by everyone. Like Noceone said above, thre were different MVPs every quarter and that’s how it should be, a team effort. Spencer set the tone early and I’m glad he got a lot of rest (Brook Lopez is up next). Brockman picked up from there with the effort, rebounding, and D. I watched him a lot on the post and he dd a real good job IMO. I think he’s making a good case to take K-9’s minutes. JT maybe didn’t have an amazing game but when everyone else has it going, then it doesn’t matter. We gotta understand not every player will have a great outing, every game. We just need a couple to get going and then the rest to do the little things.

Reke indeed had a quiet great night. It amazes how many new things he shows every game. I see passes that he wasn’t able to make two games ago. I see a much better understanding on how he needs to run the offense. ergio did a good job too though Ihe took one too many shots but is ok, the knicks style is contagious. Like V’s comment in the game thread, I think, about ho he’s able to change the tempo of the game and knows when to go fast and when to slow down. One great thing about Sergio: h knows how to find the big guys and we need a lot of that.

Noce also had a really good start and owned the firdt along with Spence. Unfortunately, the meergence of Donte and Omri pretty much makes him expendable and at this point I’m fine with expirings. I love the intensity he brings but I feel like Donte and Omri will be able to make up for that.

All in all, it was good game by the good guys. Of course, this was the Knicks but a win is a win and this young team also needs to learn how to put the bad teams away. I don’t care how bad you are, the Kings need to start establishing that they are better than some teams, whether it is 2 or 8 teams, I don’t care; you just gotta do it.

Now, bring it on Nets!
