PrintLos Angeles Clippers at Sacramento Kings, Feb 27, 2009 7:00 PM PST
King-killer Eric Gordon and Marcus Camby are out. Clipper-killer Beno Udrih is out.
Bobby Jackson will start, and Drew Gooden will play. Chris Kaman ate at P.F. Chang's last night.
Few things can salvage a season like this. Sweeping the Clippers while finishing ahead in the Ping Pong Derby ... that will do it.
7PM. Go Kings.

Watching Salmons
Kick some serious ass in Washington
Wizards win but Salmons lead Bulls in scoring and Miller leads them in rebounding.
There can only be one Noce!
Hmmm
Salmons and Miller put up numbers but their team loses. Where have I heard that before?
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
Won't be able to watch the game. Have to leave for work but...
LET"S GO KINGS!
There can only be one Noce!
Go Kings!
Looking for a good game from JT, Spencer and Kevin.
Ball movement ... is like jogging for most people: They do it occasionally, and it makes them happy. Then they go back to not doing it. - Henry Abbott
Personally
I don’t really care how Nocioni plays. If he plays well, great but that means less PT for JT and Greene. If he plays poorly then more PT for JT and maybe Greene, but that contract becomes much more of a concern.
Playing time for Greene would be good though.

If he plays well
the easier it will be to justify the trade for him and his contract and makes it easier to trade him.
He's not getting traded this season
and he is taking some of JT’s minutes now and there is a chance he will take more. That’s my worry.

wow, BUlls lose to the Wiz...
DRose with 3 assists.Glad Salmons had 25 but I have to ask…. was he a dribblling non passer? Anyone watch the game?
Kevin getting people involved early
I like

Nice passing by Kevin to start it off
should have 3 assists, if not for Garcia’s miss and shot fake.

Haha good call there
I don’t mind the arguments with him because I know I have some good points. I know is not Natt’s fault but he IS our coach so if we ask the players for effort and smart pay then we should ask the same from him

nice, JT brought the ball up the floor
only looked down once, passed and got it back for the easy score
I'm really digging the play tonight
They look like they want to play
Or Coach Dunleavy's influence has warn on the Clips
I’ll take a good game any way I can get it though
That's funny
If we play poorly it’s Natt’s fault, but if we play well, it’s Coachie’s influence finally kicking in.

Yes
and you never know when that ends. I truly feel bad because after all the bad years you would think that they could build through the draft but nothing.

They've spent a lot of time in the dreaded
mediocre area where you’re drafting late lottery, and when they’ve been really bad they’ve drafted poorly.

Eduardo quit picking on Natt you hater!!!
(j/k)
actually eduardo, I don’t think you’re a hater. I’m just tired of reading all the Natt-venom. I agree the guy has done nothing to indicate we’d want him as coach next year, but all the vitriol about his rotations and such when half the team is new as of a week ago seems a bit much.
He's learning to be a head coach on the fly too right?
I don’t think he’s been a head coach at any level before.

That's true
I do understand the situation Natt’s in and know this team has limited talent. At the same time, he’s been failing (IMO) in some basic coaching stuff, like matchups and rotations. It’s pretty exasperating when you see something that a coach, who is suppose to know more than you, doesn’t. The Kings have been losing by a lot so it’s not really that Natt has cost the team games, it’s more of putting the team in a position to stay IN the game.
"Let's stop arguing and get together and agree on who really is the problem: PEACHES" - HighTops
Rock & an Hard place
Playing BJax at SG against a 6’6"-6’7" guy and having Cisco plays SF against a bigger 6’9" guy while Donte’ warms up the bench, isn’t the answer.
Do you play a guy that’s going to create a good mismatch for your opponent, because he’s a vet that plays hard. Or, do you play a rookie who has the size & athleticism but may not be skilled enough. Natt’s answer has always been go small ball or smaller ball.
The problem is we still lose , and we’re no further along in developing Donte than we were when we sent him to Reno. The other problem is with 22 games left in a miserable season, Natt is still trying to do what’s best for Natt and not what’s best for the team.
The team needs Hawes, JT, & yes Donte to be ready to play extended minutes next year more than they need 3 or 4 more hollow wins. The team need to know which of our expiring is worth making an offer to for next season. The team doen’t need Martin & Cisco to play 40mpg. I don’t expect Natt to throw a garbage time lineup out there to start the game, but reduced minutes for our core vets and extended minutes for our rookies will go a long way for making next season a productive one. And, it won’t hurt our ping pong ball total. Besides, if Natt thinks a few more wins will improve his chances of getting rehired, he’s stupider than I think. He’s best way of looking like a good hire, is to do what’s best for the team.

I know Nat isn't the greatest
But at least the Kings give an effort, the Clippers are embarrassing with the amount of effort they give. Dunleavy has to be the worst coach in the league.

It is very nice to see 39pt halves, not quarters for a change though.
Memphis doesn't have a high scoring offense
didn’t stop us from letting the run it up though. I’ll take a 39 point half however we can get it.

The last time I saw a team play this poorly
was the Kings/Knicks… the Clippers are an embarassment.
The second half should give plenty of opportunity to play the new Kings
Wonder if the refs have an early plane to catch

I don't understand the attitude that people have about Beno's injury.
We lost the best player at our worst position.
I don't understand
I wasn’t mocking Beno’s injury. But Bjax is going to play a lot until Beno comes back unless Natt suddenly falls in love with Soloman. Cisco is a very limited PG.
Looks like
we are going to get at least another game to test that theory.

McCants
Does anybody else see a slight resemblance between McCants and Bonzi Wells. They play similar in some ways. McCants shoots more from outside but both are tough and seem to like to play under the basket and in the post a bit

one word summary of the game: scrimmage
for the entire second half. Pre-season scrimmage. Glad to see the Kings beat up on someone.
Good win
Too many turnovers, Solomon sucks and not enough Dé3. Other than that a pretty excellent performance.

Stat of the Night for me
Jason Thompson: 3 fouls in 31 minutes
Spencer Hawes: 1 foul in 33 minutes
Also, Will Solomon is horrible. The Kings got noticeably worse every time he is on the floor. I predict a great game from Deron Williams tomorrow. Bobby will be tired and Will Solomon can’t play basketball. I might actually start missing Beno.
Good game from Nocioni and McCants too. Loved Kevin’s all-around game too.
Always nice to enjoy a Kings win. Even in the worst season ever, the Kings can still enjoy blowouts versus the Clippers. Something that will hopefully remain a constant forever.
Statistically
This seemed to be the best lineup on the floor tonight:
PG-Bobby J.
SG-McCants
SF-Martin
PF-Nocioni
C-Thompson
The Kings went on a big run with this group on the floor. Interestingly it was without Garcia or Spencer. Was probably more due to who the Clippers had on the floor.

Sorry about the typos fellas.

Solomon = Chucker?
Martin took 17 shots in 35 minutes (one shot every 2.06 minutes of play)
McCants took 11 shots in 24 minutes (one shot every 2.18 minutes of play)
Those were the two most frequent shooters tonight for the Kings. No real surprise there. No complaints. Who was #3?
Will Solomon!?!?! 5 shots in 11 minutes of action or one shot every 2.2 minutes of play.
