Officials: Dan Crawford, James Capers, Phil Robinson. -------------------------------------- PLAYERS TO WATCH BRAD MILLER & DESMOND MASON</div> Historically Brad Miller has not consistently strung together monster games against Milwaukee, however Miller has been solid in every performance since joining The King's Roster. In their last meeting, Miller dropped 16 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, but contributed big down the stretch adding 8 of his points during a crucial 18-2 fourth quarter run that ultimately led to a Sacramento victory. Miller is also averaging 19.8 points and 9.8 rebounds over his last six games, perhaps his hot streak continues into Milwaukee. Desmond Mason did not start against Sacramento in their first meeting this season, but his intensity, aggresiveness, and ability to get inside the lane could prove bothersome for Sacramento's defense and lack of shot blocking ability. Expect Mason and his slashing style of play to make several trips to the line if given the start, he's a .828% free throw shooter this season and could improve that Tuesday Night.
A huge advantage Sacramento holds over The Bucks is their over whelming talent in their frontcourt. Sacramento's frontcourt of Webber, Miller, and Peja are capable of surging for huge numbers, thus alot of teams try and make them work for everything on both ends. However, The Bucks don't have a dominate scoring threat coming out of their frontcourt, especially if Keith Van Horn doesn't play. This allows Chris Webber, Brad Miller, and Peja Stojakovic to conserve energy, and in return will make them that much more effect on an already tremendous offensive attack. Big numbers from the front court, that's my prediction....
Here's my prediction: The Kings I Believe will have a good outing against Milwaukee bringing on a superior offense and our defense will have a great effect on the Buck's game. However the Bucks have shown that they can play with some of the best teams in the NBA with their close scoring,so Milwaukee can suprise some people if we make simple mistakes. I Believe however the Kings will win with there offense and there defense will be a bit much for the Bucks in this game. Kings 98 Bucks 87
whoa - seems like it was a game worth watching...too bad i had no way how. but pedja scoring 5pts in 21sec and webber hitting a game winning three pointer followed by some interesting celebration that's some stuff worth seeing.

Wild finish i hear,cant wait to see it on espn.That picture of Webber is priceless.A thought on the game, how do you get outrebounded by milwaukee?Anybody?Anybody?Bueller?
haha... that pic is too funny wow.. this was one good game. again, I was not home so I didnt get the chance to watch it. Webber hitting the three for the win is one of the most unlikely things to happen with it so not being his shot. I had thought this game might go into overtime, and they came close to doing it. and lets hear it for the kings going 8-0 against the east so far this year.
That was quite a Game...we almost blew it...arrrrggggh But like i said early in the preview,that the Bucks generally tend to play great against the top teams in the NBA,but somehow they lose against them,and last night was no exception.The Bucks came on strong,and their Offense was really superb..better than ours. However,Lucky for us we didn't want to go down to Milwaukee like that,and Bibby with his 27 points and Webber with 23 made things not as bad as they couldn't have been,and Webber saved the day with his last minute basket. It was a win,but the truth of the matter is,we shouldn't have played as sloppy like that.we have the Lakers next,so we need to step up to the plate
Close game. I don't mind that we lost, all I care about is that Desmond Mason pulled out a Dunk-of-the-Year contender on the Kings. It was NASTY!
