    Not really.

    The dude's scoring points for the Hornets simply because someone on that team was going to have to score points somehow, especially since Anthony Davis caught Greg Oden disease. Having him on our team would only make the JT/Hayes/T-Rob minutes jam at the 4 spot even worse.

    Would have signed him and not drafted T-Rob. Would have drafted Barnes instead. This team needs good shooters in the worse way.

    Sure we'd get good shooting but at the expense of a lot of the things that PFs are supposed to do.

    Yes! I was thinking we had a chance since he grew up in eldorado hills and grew up a kings fan. Guess we didnt try hard enough.

    He's actually rebounding better than Jason Thompson and is a decent post defender. We wouldn't be losing anything and it would have cleared the paint for both Reke and Cousins offensively. JT would have been our first big off the bench.

    Debatable.

    As with the points thing, Anderson may be grabbing boards simply because someone has to. His frontcourtmate isn't exactly a rebounding machine (Lopez is pulling in a whopping 5.3 boards a game in 28 minutes a game).

    If that's true the timing of this is just terrible. But of course the timing has been terrible for us for 6 years. We just get a hint of momentum, and the one guy we need to be there, and need to continue playing well to maintain that momentum, goes down exactly on time to threaten it.

    Please Marcus pull your head out for this one.

    That's what we get for not signing him ourselves and not having a good enough coach that'd he'd consider playing for.

    I do question how bad Reke's knee is, given there's been no reports of him sitting out practice. Or was he practicing when he shouldn't have been? He did practice the day after the Minn game. Maybe dealing with plantar fasciitis screwed with his mind and he's now overly cautious. I doubt Kobe would be sitting out.

    I have a bad feeling about tonight.

    Reke did his normal pre-game warm up before Orlando game and found he was not able to go due to swelling and tightness in the knee. What I worry a bit about is the "swelling." Normally, swelling in the knee that doesn't go away in about a day means there's some kind of internal damage. It might not be serious but it could mean more than just "day-to-day" which is what Kings are calling it at this point.

    Somebody needs to guard Batum tonight -and not one of the Kings tiny guards. Now Coach Smart says Evans "might play" - game time decision.

    What's the difference between ignorance and indifference? I don't know and don't care.

    This is going to be very difficult without Tyreke. We'll need something special from one of our guards.

    Confirmed Cisco to start so looks like Reke is not a go.

    You mean we can't just run run run and win? I thought running solves everything?

    Going with IT/Jimmer/MT at times will not work tonight.

    Sorry coach, you might have to apply a little logic to your sub patterns tonight and not simply wing it.

    I'm kinda hoping Cuz continue his good play of late and puts up a 25/15, 30/12 type game. that kind of a game is getting closer to happening and without Reke it's setting up well for a game like that.

    Without Reke, for Sac-Town to win Cousins has to be huge and MT needs to climb out of his slump. Both are possible, but all we can do is watch and see if it happens.

    Care to delve into it? What are his strengths and weakness and how do they stack up to IT and Jimmer? Who does he pair best with compared to the others and why is that?
