The Kings(25-11) host the Portland Trailblazers(15-21)tonight at the Arco arena. I Think the Blazers will be coming on strong in the beginning,but i just don't see Portland winning the game tonight. With Webber,Peja,Miller,Bibby and Mobley(who after yesterday's performance with that clutch 3 pointer)looked awesome will overcome Portland at the end of the day with their flashy offense.So i of course am predicting a Kings victory!! Kings 96 Blazers 89
i hope i don't jinx us or anything...i mean im not completely sleeping on this team even though they have been struggling of late but... No SAR, No D-Miles, No Zach...No win

The Kings have been playing pretty well recently and I think that tonight will be no exception. I'll take the Kings by 8 at Arco.
Good looking Sac-King on the preview, for whatever reason my J-Bball as been extremely slow for the past few days and I haven't been able to tolerate it. However, it's fine now and I'll be starting the preview for Sacramento's next game sometime tonight. Thanks again. I was watching this game on NBA TV at my girl's house, I hate Nick Van Exel. Ever since he lit us up in the 2002-2003 playoffs, I haven't had a favorable opinion of him. Looks like another one of those nights where he posts big numbers on Sacramento, hopefully we can still get the win, you guys need to keep me posted...
Post Game Wrap Up kings win it 113-107 in OT Once again its over time for the Kings & Blazers. For those of you who dont know, they have split the last twelve meetings with four of those games going into OT. Its also the first OT game they have taken from Portland in the last three OT games. one last little trivia tidbit, the Kings are 9-1 on tuesdays this season Webber led all scorers with 32pts along with 13rbs and 6asts 4stls Mobley put up 20 along with 6ast 4rbs and 1stl putting in most of the work in the second half Overall the Kings again looked sluggish at times and let the Blazers back into the game and eventually tieing the game up again with seconds to go forcing OT. In OT however, Mobley hit a three & the Kings never looked back with Webber hitting 4 of 4 from the free throw line to seal the deal And like normal, Van Excel absolutly torched Sacramento with 30 pts going 40% from 3pt range. for those of you on the Tag Stat Watch, unfortunatly, Tag did not play tonight... a few last pieces of trivia for tonights game, Geoff Petrie and Rick Adelman made up the Blazers back court from 1970 to 1973. Petrie was also Portlands first ever draft selection and was an all star selection for the Blazers in 71 and 74. Petrie also held the Blazers single game scoring record untill Stoudamire broke that record putting up 54 in the loss to the hornets on the 14th.
This was a great win for the Kings. They showed a very gutty performance, looking very sluggish early and then comming back late. This seems to me like the kind of game that they would lose in past seasons, so hopefully this is a good sign. Even though Peja had a horrible night (0 ft. attempts), Mobley and Webber stepped up and refused to let the Kings lose. Webber has really proved that he is the leader of this team over the past few games. I loved seeing Webber jawing at the Blazer bench after hitting the free throws to seal the game. This season the Kings have shown an edge that they have not had in years past. Hopefully, this will be the last piece in the Kings championship puzzle. Could Doug Christie have put up 18 points in the 4th and OT to help get the win?....
That damn Nick Van Exel, I knew he was going to post some big numbers on The Kings, yet again, and he of course didn't let me down. Forced overtime with his 3-Pointer, and dropped 30 points and 8 assists on Sacramento. Ever since his days with The 2002-2003 Dallas Mavericks, where he dominated all series long in the playoffs, I've hated that man! Nicky, just retire already, leave Sacramento ALONE!!!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James X3:</div><div class="quote_post"> Nicky, just retire already, leave Sacramento ALONE!!!</div> naw... better to leave the bitter taste of loosing in his mouth
Incredible Game last night between these 2 clubs.The Blazers were impressive and played hard all night.It was a grueling game but the Kings got the win in OT. Webber was the MVP of the game,32 points,4 steals,13 asist's...Webber is the big reason why the Kings got the win.Overall it was a great win,and this makes it 5 games in a row...Good Job Kings!!
