Print- Kevin Durant: "That was a good welcome to the league. Kevin Martin's going to be an All-Star this year and Ron Artest is the best defensive player in the league. It's only going to help me out, though."
- Kevin Pelton of SuperSonics.com and many other basketball websites reminds me of a moment I'd forgotten from last night: "If you're looking for another sign this is merely a preseason game, know this: P.J. Carlesimo just called a timeout with Mike Bibby guarding Kevin Durant."
- The boxscore. Justin Williams was practically invisible, save a pretty egregious over-the-back off a John Salmons missed free throw. But he kept up his typical rebounding rate, with three boards in seven minutes.
- Mark Kreidler, writing for ESPN.com, took a lot more out of the game than even we did.
- We Rite Good makes us feel a bit better about possible microfracture for Spencer Hawes by reminding everyone how bad ACL tears used to be. I hope we don't have to find out first hand. But it's a little settling, I think. (Via TrueHoop.)
- The vaunted Deadspin commenters on Brad Miller's cornrows. (Is it weird I now get excited when a Kings topic appears on Deadspin? That feeling used to be reserved for Pardon the Interruption.)
- Kevin Broom on the disparity between coaches in the NFL and NBA with regards to embracing advanced metrics and charting.
- That game thread last night was fantastic. To 89 more!

Re: Wednesday Links & Notes
Justin Williams was only given 7.75 minutes of floor time. His three rebounds gave him the highest rebound/minute of all Kings. But still he should have had at least one basket. Am I the only one who saw Justin being ignored by his team on the offensive end? How about the last play of the third quarter where Douby ignored a cutting Williams and instead circled back at the top of the key as time expired? I hope Reggie fixes this.
Re: Wednesday Links & Notes
I dunno, I think Justin's going to have to score most of his points in garbage mode around the basket. I'm not sure he has the skills necessary to be a real part of the offense yet.
Which likely explains his limited minutes last night.
