I'm not buying the Amick update

He must have an agenda we're not privy to.

Even more is afoot!

He walked off the floor holding his right wrist and hand, which may be sore enough for him to miss a game for the first time since Jan. 10. The Kings, of course, are 0-8 in games against Pacific Division opponents. They are the only team in the league that hasn't downed a division foe.

Clearly, Kevin Martin is over-complaining about his injuries to ensure that the team continues tanking, and Amick is part of this plot so he can get a "real" job when he prints an exposition on blatant tanking in the NBA so he gets signed up by ESPN into a lucrative contract where he gets to repeat everything that appears on the internet from his cubicle in the canals of ESPN! OMG! OMG! OMG! An Look! TZ isn't even pointing out this obviousness and complaining at the injustice! He must be in on it too...

blah.

Well this would explain why Kevin was on the bench

for the 1st 6 mins of the 4th yesterday, if we hadn't seen similar things in games where he wasn't hurt.

by Kfan in Korea on Mar 5, 2008 8:52 PM PST up reply actions

I'll be at the game

So I hope Martin plays. I just hope teh Kings bring some intensity tongiht, because I think we all feel a little defeated today.

Wait....Why is everybody clapping? Everyone around me is clapping.... I guess I should be clapping too... GO LAKERS!!! I hate living in So Cal

Word to that.

I want to see everyone from Artest to Shelden and Douby play, and see them play hard. I'll take a loss if they all do their best.

If Kev sits...

I just don't think the Clippers can beat us tonight. They aren't playing well. I don't think the Kings will look past the Clippers anymore and I also hope the Kings are hungry enough to get the division money off their back.

I look for the Kings to come with a resounding effort in LA.

This is the Clippers, we're talking about. Think of the match-ups:

Kaman verse Miller - Colossol White Rednecks collide!

Shawes v Thornton - who really should have been the lower pick?

Two third-string PGs v Beno SanAntonio-don't-want-me Udrih!

Mobley-Dickau verse their old team!

Quinton Ross verse himself!

Artest on the bench - will he still chuck bad shots? Kmart on the bench - will he choke in the fourth? Did John Salmons Matter?

but what does it matter? Douby performed well against Utah one night. The next night he isn't aces and gets no rope. You can rack another lost season for Douby, and it's all the mix masters fault. I really despise Geoff Petrie right now.

Dan Dickau Rocks!

Except that Dan Dickau makes Mike Bibby look like "The Glove" on defense. There is a reason that he has played for every team except the Kentucky Colonels.

However, if we can't land Dickau, maybe we can look at Travis Deiner, J.J. Redick, or Steve Novak. It's a wonder that Luke Ridnour has not lit us up for 40...yet.

Rule of thumb - don't lust for players that look good against us. Just ask Zeke - send it in, Jerome!
