Sunday afternoon The Kings(8-4) will host The Timberwolves(7-5) at Arco arena. This will be another good closely contested game.Since the Kings beat the Lakers the Kings will be pumped up and have the momentium on their side,but lets not take Minnesota too lightly as they have decent players who could make a game if we make too many mistakes on the court. I'll go with the Kings on this one and make this 9 in a row :mrgreen: Kings 90 Timberwolves 84
To me, the Timberwolves have been a pretty inconsistent team this season. That bing said, they always seem to play well at Arco and with the way things went the last time that these two teams met there (Game 6, Western Conference Semi-Finals, peeler-garnett fight, fans throwing things on the court), this should be a very hard-fought contest. In order for the Kings to win, they need to do a lot better job of rebounding defensively and do every thing that they can to slow down the best player in the world, Kevin Garnett. I have no idea how this one is going to go because I don't know which Minnesota team will show up. The team that got smoked by Seattle, or the team that just destroyed Memphis.

Garnett will get his numbers just like Kobe. Like Sactomofo said, if the kings limit the wolves 2nd chance points with good defensive rebounding it should be a win for Sac.
Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself tomorrow. Last year we were on an eight game winning streak around December and the Timberwolves were the ones who snapped it. But I think we will fare well against Minnesota. Last night's game was definitely morale booster, and we're coming home so we got a lot of things working for us right now. I predict Kings by 6.
kings are deadly. but i got Wolves 98-97 <font size="1"><font color="darkred">Please, if you can take the time to post, take the time to proofread it. -44</font></font>
Kings got dominated on the boards much as i suspected. If im correct we were outrebounded by 9 against LA and were just outrebounded be 14 against minnesota.Pretty weak.Cant expect to be a top team when you get outrebounded by 23 over 2 games.
wasnt able to watch the game, from the box score and highlights it looked to be a close game. Too bad they couldnt pull this one out, the next few games are very winable for them & it would have put them on a pretty good win streak.
I Couldn't watch the game myself,and the T-Wolves won at arco like they usually do. But we put on a good effort,but if we are going to keep on winning we must get our Defense together,so we can beat good teams.The turnovers just killed us,but it wasn't that bad of a game.
That just pisses me off. There's no reason the Kings's should've lost that game. When I was looking at the Kings' schedule, I was fearing that the teams they beat during the win-streak were nothing but mediocre teams......I was correct. And they get beat by the Wolves. at HOME. I love the Kings as much as the next guy, but being honest, this team isn't gonna go anywhere the way they're doing. They're seriously not a heavyweight anymore. Signing Ostertag, and slowly but surely losing good bench players is gonna make this franchise pay. When last season began I still regarded the Kings as major contenders, but this year, it doesn't seem like it.
It's not about "one loss". It's about them not being able to win against any contenders and scraping by mediocre teams.

What kind of fan gives up on their team after 13 games over one game?
KSC:Relax dude...Look i understand why you are frustrated,but were still a good team,and like everybody else here at JBB is saying the season just got started,so lighten up,relax and see the Kings keep up the good work.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting GiantMidget:</div><div class="quote_post">Am i the only person that thinks its the rebounding thats holding them back?</div> I am not gonna say that is their only problem, but it is definately a big problem. From memory they were outrebounded by the wovles by something like 10 boards.
