Preview: Wizards at Kings ONE DOLLAR MOUNTAIN DEW NIGHT OH BOY
THE OPPONENT
You may think the Wizards suck, given their 7-15 record. But they been unlucky in close games, and have the point differential of an 8-14 team. Do not undersell the should-be-8-and-14 Washington Wizards!
How weird is this, right? The Wizards got two key players (former All-Star Gilbert Arenas and ace defender Brendan Haywood) make from injury, traded a high lottery pick for two veterans (one a former Rookie and Sixth Man of the Year), hired the offseason's priciest head coach and augmented the roster with veterans. The Kings lost their best player to injury after five games, drafted a (then-) 19-year-old, a 21-year-old and a 22-year-old, hired the offseason's cheapest head coach and augmented the roster with a 260-pound undersized power forward with bad knee history, a 76-year-old Oklahoman painter and Team Spain's fourth-string point guard.
The Kings have flirted with .500 all season, and sit 10-13 after a string of harrowing road losses. The Wizards are eight games under .500. WHAT.
Mike Miller has been alternatively injured and stubbornly dismissive of his history as a shooter. (Earl Boykins, a gunner himself, shoots twice as frequently per minute as Miller. Unbelievable.) Arenas has needed 18 FGAs a night (plus six FTAs) to get his 20 points. (By comparison, Tyreke Evans, age 20, gets those same 20 points on about 2-1/2 fewer shots a night.) Haywood's return has improved the defense only marginally, and that's under the assumption Flip Saunders hasn't helped in replacement of Eddie Jordan/Ed Tapscott, which probably isn't true. Caron Butler has fallen off the side of the Earth in terms of efficiency. Randy Foye has been a catastrophe. Antawn Jamison has been a champ since returning from injury, but he's clearly aggravated with what's gone on around him.
And now the Wizards have a lottery team without much of a kiddie corps to build with, while the Kings press on with one of the league's most promising young cores, far lower salary committments and a much better record.
WHAT NOW D.C.? WHAT NOW?
THE KEY BATTLE
Evans vs. Arenas. Gil might be off this season, but he can still penetrate and he still averages seven assists a night. He won't be an "Aaron Brooks problem" or a "Deron Williams problem." But he could be a bit of a problem. And we know from experience he has no issues playing before a defiant audience. (In fact, he might be one of the few better in locales hostile. Basically even home-road splits this season. Only slightly better at home for his career.) But to me a key to this game is Evans punishing Arenas. Gil's counterparts have shot better than 52 percent this season. The Wiz are terrible at forcing turnovers and foul too much. Conditions are perfect.

I bet the game is blacked out on ESPN
Which I hate, I always would rather hear what national guys are saying about the team rather than the local yokals.
Last I checked
The game was a near sellout. I’m guessing the rest of those seats get mysteriously bought before the game yet unoccupied to avoid a blackout.
But even then, it would be a localized to the Sac area, so you could just turn on CSNCA

The policy on blackout's on LP works like this
You either get blacked out of a local market (if you’re in LA that’s the Lakers/Clippers) games that are televised locally. So there’s that.
You also get blacked out of ESPN/TNT/ABC games as well. This only applies if you’re in the US. Internationally, this doesn’t happen as the rules are different.
Now, the other part of blackout rules also applies to where you go to. Let’s say you live in LA most of the time, but you have broadband and travel to Sac during the holiday’s. The NBA will also black out your computer based on the zip code and IP Address of where you’re currently at.
I’m blacked out of the game tonight (and wasn’t last night by some unusual circumstances—and I usually am blacked out of Blazer games—something I find amusing) because it’s being shown locally. All the out-of-town StR’ers are in the same boat as well.

The Wiz are trying to learn how to win on the road too
And at 3-8, there doing a better job than the Kings. It’s true that Arenas & Haywood are back and played all 22 games this season, but Jamison missed the first 9. And, considering that he’s shooting 50% FG%, 39% 3P%, 8.4RPG, & 21.2 PPG, his absense probably cost the Wizards 3 to 5 games. And, 3 more wins would give Washington a better record than the Kings. As it is, the Wiz are 4-6 over the last 10 games while the Kings are 5-5.
They have lost 5 in a row, but lost them by a combined score of -11pts, so they’ve been in every game until the end. They could have beaten the Clippers easily if not for an outstanding effort by Kaman & Camby, who combined for 26 Rebounds and 31pts.
The Kings are going to need a lot better performance out of Spencer & JT to keep us close in this game. Because Haywood & Jamison are both shooting better than 50% in the last 10 games, with 18.7rpg & 30.7ppg. Also, Haywood is averaging 2.4blks per game.
Arenas is playing on par with Tyreke, shooting 41% FG%, 26% 3P%, 3.9RPG, 7.7AST, and 18.1PPG over the last 10.
Some interesting stats about the Kings
The Kings are 4-5 with a starting line up of Hawes, JT, Noc, Greene & Tyreke
The Kings are 4-2 with a starting line up of Hawes JT, Noc, Beno & Tyreke
The Kings are 0-6 when they score fewer than 100ppg.
The Kings score 5.7 more pts at home than on the road, & get 4 more rebounds,& 2 more blocks.
The KIngs have trouble with very good defensive teams. But, the Wiz are just good, not very good. The KIngs are better at home and will be playing in front of the 2nd sell out crowd of the season. The Wiz may be worse at closing out close games than the Kings. I’m picking Tyreke & JT to stop or at the least negate the Wiz’s 2 top players (Arenas & Jamison). Haywood is a tough matchup for Spencer, and problably wins.
Home court, sell out crowd, I’m going with Kings by 5.

Great stuff as always HT
Jamison is a tough matchup for JT so I expect to see some small lineups early on, unless both JT and Hawes get it going at the same time (which hsn’t really happened yet).
The 2 should be a matchup the Kings absolutely need to win. Whether it’s Donte or Beno, they need to outplay Young or Stevenson. Also Noce has the chance of having a good game if he keeps Butler under contol. They both have similar games, with Butler being the better out of the 2 of course. I still think Noce’s rough style could take Butler out of his comfort zone.
It’s going to be much tougher than we think IMO. They’re struggling record wise, but they have the talent to play against anyone and beat any team on any given night. Let’s hope the crowd helps (I’ll be there with hopefully 15,000 other drunks)
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
Thanks E7
Haywood is solid, in fact, if you were to pick a stereotypical Center/ PF duo, Jamison & Haywood would be at the top of the list. Center that rebounds & Blocks shots, and a PF that rebounds and scores. But, Haywood isn’t a potent scorer, having scored in double figures in 12 of 22 games this season, And, in those 12 games all have been under 20pts, and only 4 have been over 13pts. So, if as a team, the Kings can rebound well, Haywood probably isn’t going to hurt them too much. So, like you I’m worried more about Butler. Although, JT is going to have to step up his game. Jamison scored 30+ points in both games against us last year. And, he’s scored 30+ points in the last 2 game.
Again, I think PW will have a quick hook ready for both Noc & Donte. Although, Donte probably got yanked more for his offensive ineptitude than his overall defense.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
Well HT, I hope you're right
I’m thinking that Spencer and PW had a little chat last night/today. The only prediction I’m willing to make is that Spencer will be highly motivated for tonight’s game. Or not………….could be sulking a little. Due to my relentlessly optimistic I’m taking the over on……………..highly motivated.

How effin awsome would it be
for Reke to drop 50 tonight so all the idiots on ESPN would quit talking about BJennings and realize who the REAL Rookie of the Year is?
In Frank Wren I trust.
If your looking for a time killer and have LP
Bucks are up 5 at home against the Lakers early in the third. Very entertaining game. The Young Bucks are a pretty good team, anchored by a dominant/skilled Bogut. Nice side peices in Delfino (a better looking Nocioni IMHO), Illyasova (say that 5 times fast, no clue where he came from, reminds me of their teams Casspi, minus the 50% shooting), Mbou-A-Moute (Donte minus The Show, and the 3).
All this lead by mr. Jennings. This kid is lightning bug quick (I love you D. Sproles, Go Chargers) a very sweet jumpshot, good court vision, and And1 capable dribbling/creativeness. Seems very confident and poised on the court, doesn’t carry himself like Tyreke (or leave the same imprint on the game, more of a KMart type scorer; quick and in abundance) but doens’t look like a rookie by any means. Going to be a close race, and really tough for Griffen to leap frog both of these guys.
Oh and I know Redd just got back from injury but...
Martin>Redd by far, 2 years ago I would of gone the other way but Martin has a much more potent offense it seams now then Redd does, and much much quicker.
Bucks announcers just mentioned us coming to town, and proclaimed the Evans v Jennings match up a must see, and reason to come down to watch the team (Its like the Bucks are our Eastern Conf Mirror or ECM, cousin of WCM)
that game really should go on National TV (the Bucks/Kings game, that is)
