Well, the Kings improbably avoided a sweep at the hands of Phoenix last week. With three losses in three tries against the Mavericks this season, can the Kings even dream of pulling it off tonight?
Smart money says "no way in hell." Smart money don't lie. Too many offensive weapons for Dallas, too few for Sacramento. It should be an explosion, and it should be fare well for the Kings.
I won't pretend to have the answer for how to beat the Mavs - no one does. Phoenix played lights out offense Sunday for their victory, and when Phoenix plays lights out on offense they will beat anybody and everybody. That is no blueprint for a mortal team like the Kings.
This game is a prayer, nothing more and nothing less. Sorry for those expecting analysis - you cannot analyze awesome versus not awesome when the gap is both evident and wide.
I'll be in attendance again, my last live game of the year. When I bought these tickets, I anticipated a fairly important matchup with ramifications of some kind. I'll instead settle for seeing greatness in the visitor's jerseys.
7 pm start. Free Douby! Free Williams! Free Price!

Re: Game 72 - vs Dallas
But can the kings keep this up thru the final death-star 4th quarter?

Re: Game 72 - vs Dallas
- Ron played his freakin' ass off on both sides of the ball.
- His teammates played hard but not necessarily well.
- John Salmons was abysmal on both sides of the ball. Poor decision making all night.
- Muss seems unable to see obvious match-up problems on the floor and why he had Salmons in the game nearly the entire 4th quarter is beyond me. (Garcia is a better defender and though he is good for at least one completely bone-headed play a game, he at least will move the ball and shoot somewhere in the vicinity of the basket on wide-open 3's.)
- Kings got back into the game near the end of the 4th by running the high-post offense through Brad. In the final, crucial possessions, Muss decided that force-feeding the ball to Ron in the post was a better idea. We all saw the outcome.
- Dallas is stacked - even without Dirk.
- They're not bad from the FT stripe either.
- Josh Howard is a bad-ass
- Stackhouse's shot at the end of the game was insane. Ron was wearing him like a high-priced hooker, and he still nailed it.
- Jason Terry had the quietest 27 points I've ever seen. (I watched every second of the game and can't believe he took 20 shots.)
- Kings lose.....again.
