i didnt see how powerful it was at the game, but watching it on Youtube a couple times made it pretty awesome.

was No. 2 on SportsCenter’s top 10. And I think the anchors made fun of Grant’s call. Win win.

One of 3-4 really nice dunks on the night. The 3 pointers are cool. Shoot ‘em, hit ’em, miss ’em. I don’t care. Just make sure you get your 3-4 really nice dunks a night and I’ll be content. Oh, and the blocks are good too. More of those please.

We’ve been through this already, remember? We decided that Donté would never make it in the NBA! Did somebody forget to tell Donté?

Love it. And I love the idea of nicknaming him The Show. Nice one, Ziller.

that Donté’s big game pooket didn’t get to see. He’s going to be steamed.

In Evie we trust!

So I guess Petrie did ok in the last draft then. And the Artest trade, which netted us both Greene and Casspi.

Such a great game! Truly something to be thankful for!

is Devon Harris and Courtney Lee returned to team last night. Rusty but healthy to play. Spencer Hawes needs to bring it on Friday against Brook Lopez, and I think we’ll be alright. The Nets are a group of caged tigers, though. 0-15 is brutal.

I have to say Peaches had a good call on the Donte throwdown. Nice D, runway was clear for takeoff! The pivot move by Donte reminded me of player not be named in La La land. In the past Donte, would put the ball on the floor upon the catch, but now he is using footwork to gain position against defender first. K-Mart is really good at this too.

I went back to my pre-game checklist to see what I got from the Kings last night:
* More help defense: Check. Can you say Donte Greene? I also thought the KIngs did a good job switching on their screens and contesting their threes for the most part.
* More doubling the ball: Check. We did see a little more of this. Again, Donte provided a highlight moment when he stripped David Lee, then tied up Lee by diving to the floor.
* More Udoka: Check. After playing only two minutes in the last two games, Udoka played 17 minutes last night. He still needs to start hitting his shots. Although he didn’t score, he contributed with four boards and two steals. Unfortunately, he was only one of two Kings with a negative plus/minus at -12.
* More running: Check. Sergio took care of this, pushing the ball like a madman. Although he missed a lot of shots, I am glad to see him become more of an offensive threat. He wasn’t getting it done as a pass-first, shoot-never point guard.
* More bodies going to get defensive boards: Check. Did see more of this, although with the Knicks camped out on the three-point line, they don’t have a lot of folks going to the offensive glass outside of Lee and Harrington. The Knicks got 16 offensive rebounds, but we beat them 50-43 overall and every King who played had at least three rebounds.
* More three-point shots: Definitely check. Nocioni set the tone early, and Donte provided the exclamation point. Seven of the nine Kings who played shot a three and five different Kings made at least one. After averaging about 18 threes attempted and making about 6 1/2 in the previous 13 games, we hoisted up 27 and made 12 (44%). I hope this trend continues, because I think the three-ball can be a big weapon for us.

It was/is better to see him going to the hole strong both on offense and defense. Its those plays that make SportsCenter Donte’, don’t forget. And its those plays that bring home WINS.

Winning is everything.

That has a dope ring to it.

I really liked what he said in his post game talk with J-Wise and Baby P. Donte talked about Rashard being one of his idols and that he emulates his game. It’s great to know that Donte is aware of who he can be like and how important his role is to the Kings. Rashard Lewis is the perfect comparison; tall, lean and can shoot the for days. I actually think Donte could be better in the long run.

Can’t say enough about Donte’s catch and shoot release. We were discussing it last night and the guy already has his feet set in a shooting stance when he is waiting for the ball. His release was super swift as in almost Ray Allen-ish or Rashard fast for that matter. It’s pretty neat to see players evolve and improve. It’s scary to think how good Donte would be if he had this coaching staff in his rookie year.

Liked seeing Jordan Hill go up against Brocktimus Prime. I dunno, as a Bruin fan it reminded me of the old Pac 10 battles when the league was loaded with NBA bigs from Hill to the Lopez bros to K-Love and Brockman. Awesome to see them all doing well in the ‘league’. I think Hill be okay when he gets a mid-range jumper.

Great to see JT pass to Donte on the wing for a 3. It’s such a joy to watch our bigs showing their great passing skills and overall b-ball IQ.

I really like it when JT takes that jumper from the elbow. It reminds of that special forward whose name rhymes with ‘Friss Clebber’. I hope JT takes that shot more often when he can’t get anything going on the low block.

I can go on for days about this game but as much as Donte’s blocked shots were impressive. The next step for him is keeping them in play. Bill Russel blocked shots but he kept them in play for his team’s possession instead of swatting them out of the bounds for the other team.

BEAT THE NETS!!! GO KINGS! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Hall of Fame. Yes.

How many times have we watched, in muttering disgust, about that bench guy or new addition to the line up or former King getting his career high against the fellas from Sacramento? It is a pleasure to see one of those Kings, less known, take the stage against an opponent and light it up. And against those New York Knicks no less – nicely done Doratio, you just might make it to Broadway.

I loved the dunk – I listened to most of the game on KHTK while driving to and from SMF, and Gary Gerould rarely disappoints, the scoring and three pointers are great but am I the only one who is sit down shocked by 6 blocked shots! Most impressive stat in D3’s rising career. For this young season, Donté has 7 blocks all year (the previous one block against GSW). 6 blocks! Do you all know that defensive center the Kings have been mentioned to be looking for to help clog the middle and block shots? Has he been here all the time hiding behind that 1,000 watt smile and eager 3 point stroke? Six blocks. Wow, Just WOW.

Some favorite Brockman moments from last night:

• Brockman getting the beautiful bounce pass by two defenders from Tyreke and scoring the deuce.
• Brockman volleyballing a botched Sergio pass back to a King in the backcourt that ends up as a Donte three ball.
• Brockman knocking David Lee on his ass.
• Brockman securing the rebound after the three straight blocks by Donte.
• Brockman guarding Nate Robinson and more than holding his own.
• Brockman totally shutting down Jordan Hill in a battle of rookie bigs.
• Brockman running the break. He missed the hoop, but the refs missed him getting pushed.
• Nine rebounds and just one turnover in 26 minutes.
