STARTING LINEUPS & INJURIES
The starting lineup will be Beno Udrih, Tyreke Evans, Donte Greene, Carl Landry and Samuel Dalembert. DeMarcus Cousins will come off the bench due to a sprained professionalism. Jason Thompson is still unavailable, and Darnell Jackson could be, too.
The Bucks have Keyon Dooling at point guard, forreal. Earl Boykins is his backup. Corey Maggette is questionable, Drew Gooden is doubtful, Brandon Jennings is out. John Salmons, Ersan Ilyasova, Andrew Bogut and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute are the main bros to keep an eye on.
SCOUTING REPORT
Please check out HighTops' magical scouting report.
MATCHUP OF THE GAME
Dalembert vs. Bogut. It would have been Cousins vs. Bogut, but ... Needless to say, Bogut is the Bucks' best player on either end, and if Dalembert can limit his offensive effectiveness, the Kings should be in a position to win. And by "in a position to win," I mean leading by 30 points, since that it apparently what it takes.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Tyreke Evans, y'all. Can our boy Salmons stay in front of him? What do you think?
FEUD I FORGOT I HAD
Hey, I used to be Andrew Bogut's enemy! Weird. <Ahem.> A POX ON ALL OF AUSTRALIA!
GIVEAWAY GAME
There is no giveaway game entry because I forgot to post one before noon.
DETAILS
7 PM start. Game threads at 7 and 8:30. Let's go Kings.

I can't wait to see the Brockness Monster again!!!
I know my wife will be excited. Maybe we’ll make pancakes for dinner in loving memory.
Keep Jason Thompson out of the damn fruit salad!

Last chance to get that win before Christmas.
Let’s go!

On a side note
Cousins on “Around the Horn” and “Pardon the Interruption” today. The general consensus is that they agree that the punishment is good, and one guy, I believe Bob Ryan said it wasn’t harsh enough. Now I know it’s ESPN, but I do really like Mike Wilbon and generally agree with most of his views, and he agrees with the punishment as well.

sorry but
you get 4 or 5 sportswriters in a room together and start talking about show boating or any immature behavior by an athlete and the next thing you know they begin talking whimsikly about the days when dads gave their kids the leather belt treatment.
I predict JT will never breathe through his nose.

My dad never gave me a leather belt
That’s why I invented sagging.
There are some guys dumber than me, some guys worse looking, I take umbrage at the fact that there is no guy that is both.

sometimes I like to imagine I am handing off the assist

somehow I imagine your childhood playing out as a Tom and Jerry episode
actually that’s kind of awful to say in retrospect given how violent that cartoon was. (notice how I still clicked POST)

I would be more Jerry than Tom
passive agressive instigator.

But there is good news for Westphal detractors
When PW and Cousins reconcile, the chest bump will drive Westphal into the 3rd row.

I do see them do this all the time
but I also see them talk about the old days when it was commonplace for players to showboat and trash talk. So take it however you will, I wasn’t trying to input my personal opinion about it, but just to spread the word in something that wasn’t worth a fanshot, but I felt was worth mentioning.
Keep Jason Thompson out of the damn fruit salad!

Is it just me
or does it seems like the only time they really dive into joking about the showboating in the good old days is when a former player first brings it up?

Possibly
I’ve never noticed, but I can’t think of any times it wasn’t. I’ll definitely have to look for that from now on. It makes sense though considering how much they like to suck up to their guests.

You would suck up to your guests too.
If they were the main reason you were on the air. Nobody goes into broadcast journalism, for lack of a better term, because of their humility.

I guess thats why I'm not in journalism
I would have a really hard time not being a dick to/about the players/teams that I hate

Aren't we in journalism?
At least peripherally? We might be more biased at least outwardly towards the teams, players, intitutions, and schools we dislike or like, but we also comment and report as we hear of things.
by Lotusprime on Dec 23, 2010 3:27 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
I don't do near enough research to consider myself a journalist
but then I guess neither does Fox News…

I'm not much of a fan of Around the Horn
but I do like Pardon the Interruption. Mostly because of Wilbon. Although Around the Horn is much more bearable now without that douche Jay Mariotti on it every time

I was going to say the same thing
beat me to it

GO KINGS!
the Kings should be in a position to win. And by “in a position to win,” I mean leading by 30 points, since that it apparently what it takes.
I har har har at the angst.

So in what new ways will the Kings find to lose tonight's game?
by aizen07 on Dec 23, 2010 5:26 PM PST via mobile reply actions
I'm pretty sure they've already found every way, so now they're looking at ways to win

I just ate our next coach for dinner.
Let’s hope Westphal does a great job tonight, because if not, we’ll have to hire the dead general.
