    -Summary-

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting ESPN Game Preview:</div><div class="quote_post">On Wednesday, NBA Player of the Week Brad Miller scored six of his career-high 38 points in the final minute of overtime as the Kings posted a 111-107 triumph over the Warriors.

    Miller, who also grabbed 17 rebounds, has averaged 23 points and 13 rebounds in the last three games.

    Darius Songaila has started the last three games in place of Webber, averaging 16 points and eight rebounds.

    Sacramento won the first meeting between the two teams this season, notching a 105-98 victory at Madison Square Garden on January 4. Webber, who is expected to play Friday, had 22 points and 11 rebounds in the game.

    New York has lost seven straight at ARCO Arena.</div>Link


    -Prediction-

    The Knicks haven't been playing very well lately, which almost scares me. The Kings will have this one under control despite the fact that 3/5 of the starting lineup will most likely be out.

    SAC 107
    NYK 98

    Stop taking my thread titles 44! Na I'm just kidding but, with New Yokr struggling and seeing the division and seeing the schedule, do you think they will try and take advantage of this situation? I mean you guys lose a defenite 40 points and maybe even 60 if Mobley is gone! That is a lot of making up even to a weak defensive team like the Knicks. I don't see them really having NY under control, I think it is in for a dog fight all throughout. My prediction is something like 105-100.

    [​IMG] Perhaps 44Thrilla was a little over confident with his prediction.Im stunned the Kings were able to snatch this one.Went on a 9-1 run in the final 48 seconds to win by 1 [​IMG] [​IMG] .WOW.Bibby,Miller & the bench(minus bobby jackson) have gone 2-0 heading into a tough part of their schedule,getting wins that were far from probable given the 3 starters that were out with injuries.Just cant wait until Sac gets all their guys back. :dancepart [​IMG] [​IMG]

    that was one of the best come from behind games that I have seen the kings take in probably two or three years.
    check out these stats
    Miller 11 of 20 from the field and 13 of 16 from the line for 35 pts 9 rbs 4ast
    Bibby 16 of 25 and 5 of 10 from the line for <font size="4">40pts</font> and only hit <font size="4">one</font> 3pt shot! [​IMG]
    in fact, the Kings took <font size="4">only 3 shots from 3pt range</font> all night going 2 of 3

    that was one of the best games I have been able to catch so far this year (I only caught the 4th quarter.. but man was that great to watch!)
