LeBron James! LeBron James! LeBron James!

Maybe ’Reke could convince him to come to Sactown in 2010? :)

Better than Kobe in my book, I actually think the rest of their roster is rather mediocre if teams didn’t have to think about trying to stop LBJ from going off for 50.

I suggest we let him and stop everyone else.

I was one of the few who liked loved the pick on draft night. Probably cause I watched him do work on Arizona for 4 weeks.

LONG LIVE THE BROCKNESS MONSTER.

is for the kings to smack laqueen james

Let’s hope the Kings continue to play hard at home, and the Cavs look over them to their Christmas game.

Also, I look forward to the day, hopefully in the next couple years, that the Kings get to face their old nemesis the Lakers on Christmas.

At some point in the game ’Reke will dunk on Lebron. LBJ will then call a timeout and destroy the nearest television cameras to destroy any evidence.

LeBron is probably salivating to get one. Hopefully Tyreke can stuff a few of Mo’s shots to make up for it!

But PW has put in extra work on the teams ft% defense and we have dropped from the worst to third worst. Way to go guys. Silver lining, Cleveland now has the worst ft% defense in the league, we need to exploit this tonight.

Cavs overlook us and look ahead to Christmas matchup with Lakers. We win tonight. Lakers beat Cavs on Christmas and have letdopwn against us Saturday.

Worst case: Cavs beat us and the Lakers, Lakers take out frustration on us Saturday.

I know we’ll be ready to play. Looking forward to Brockman vs. Varejao, Udoka vs. LeBron, Tyreke vs. LeBron. Would love to see another strip.

We in Sac know all too well that they are not the kinds of guys to pull a team out of a funk. On the contrary, Miller is all about pouting and sulking when things don’t go well and Salmons just shuts down.

In the jubilant Kings locker room after the game, Bulls center Brad Miller surprised his former team and immediately was showered with grief.

“I didn’t have anything to do with that (game),” Miller said, despite going 0 of 4 from the field in 22 minutes.

Oh yeah – WE MISS YOU BRAD! :)

I tried to wrap my mind around the facts of this game, and I couldn’t find a way for us to win. TZ did a great job of covering the stats, and the stats say we can’t win. But, this is the season of miracles and even though we already had one miracle this week, I couldn’t find anyplace that said we were limit to one miracle. So, here’s what I believe.

The Cav’s aren’t above losing. In fact they have lost to Tor by 10, the Bulls by 1, the Wiz by 17, the Bobcats by 7, Mem by 2 when LBJ scored 43, and Houston, Dallas, & Boston. And, they weren’t beaten just one way. Sometimes they lost the FG% battle, sometimes the 3P% battle, sometimes the FT battle, they were out rebounded, and they lost the turnover battle.

But, in almost every lose, their backcourt shot poorly as well as their bench. And, James couldn’t make up the difference. So, I’m going along with lttg, and say don’t worry about James. Here my strategy for winning this game. One we can’t give them additional possessions and two we can’t send them to the FT line.

To do this, we must first, not turnover the ball foolishly. We must take good shots and not rush them. The goal isn’t to get 90 possessions, but 75 good ones. We’re going to lose the rebound battle, so we must get back on defense and not give the Cav’s any fast break points. And, we need to play them straight up. Limit the help defense and make Williams, Parker, & Hickson beat us. In the games the Cav’s have lost these players shot under 33%.

Shaq & Hickson have been starting and neither has been a double digit rebounder this season. And, Varejoa and Ilgauskas have been 8 & 8 and 7 & 6 coming off the bench. But, I expect them to overachieve against our bigs. Including getting more second change points off the offensive boards. So, to keep the possessions equal we must have fewer turnovers.

We can’t have a slow start. So, I’d like to see the line up that has been doing so well at finishing games, start this one. That’s Beno & Tyreke in the backcourt. Noc can’t bother James with his tactics and might just aggravate him into having a monster performance. So, I would like to see Omri start or maybe Udoka. And, my only wish for Christmas is that the Kings shot lights out from 3 pt range.

There is a Santa Claus Virginia. And, miracles do happen. So, before a near sellout crowd, I’m picking the Sacramento Kings to WIN. Kings by 5. Go Kings

But…I hope for an over confident cavs team to show up that lets us squeak out a win on the home floor

this is not the bulls if we get into a hole it will be extremely difficult to get out of it

and sometime, preferably at the end of the game I have to hear or see Tyreke say ‘’THIS IS MY HOUSE!’’

Otherwise, nice work as usual.

But for some reason, I still see the Cavs going at 80% tonight instead of playing at full throttle like they will against the F*kers.

It’s been said before in this thread that the Cavs are beatable. The Cavs starters not named Bron Bron have been known to disappear in their losses. Mo Williams is streaky and tends to be a non-factor if he’s guarded well (last year’s playoffs). Williams tends to play around average for a few games after a big game like his 24 joint in Phoenix. I’m thinking he doesn’t get his average tonight against our guards.

In most of the Kings’ wins somebody besides Beno and Tyreke stepped up. The Kings need someone more than ever to take some of the scoring load and make big plays. Spence, Noc and Donte are more than due. I see the Kings stealing this game. If I’m wrong then I hope our Kings are at least competitive. Go Kings.

Keep the turnovers low…make your free throws. And fight, scratch and claw for the entirety of the 48 minutes (more if necessary). If you keep the game close and show them they will need to play hard every second, they might fold up shop.

Of course, when you have a megastar like LeBron – he might not allow that to happen.

If the Kings are staring at a 5 touchdown deficit in the third quarter, they still have a chance to win.

PS, I’m in town for the holidays and going to my first game of the season at Arco! Can’t wait to see the new Kings live at home! Go Kings!

Ya’ll know me by now.

The Kings are 6-2 when he plays at least 12 minutes, 7-12 when he doesn’t. Let’s put the young man on the floor.
