    Can't wait for this one. Only 8 games left. Win 6 and I think the 5 seed is ours.

    Don't know how we win this game without our Boogie-stopper. Our bigs are in for a long night tomorrow, I tell you.

    Don't underestimate these Kings, they have plenty of options, they seem rather healthy, they may not have much to play for but they have players who don't like to lose.
    The way we've been playing has been up-and-down, when we play strong we win the game but we seem to have lost some mojo, Meyers' injury also takes it's toll as he was playing maybe the best basketball of his career until then.
    We're a team no-one thought would make the playoffs but we still need to get there and then keep going, I want us to be competitive and for that we need to reach the playoffs in stride

    The Kings play Dallas today so they'll be on the second of a back to back. Its an earlier 3pm tipoff today with Dallas so they will get in plenty early but still they should be the more tired team.

    Tickets are pretty cheap on StubHub! I might just have to go! It's nice to be able to go to games again.

    Sacramento can be a handful to defend. I'm as much a Meyers basher as anyone but he certainly had a role helping defend Cousins. Not one of Plumlee's better matchup. I wonder if we might dust off some Kaveman tomorrow?

    I agree this is going to be a tough match up. The one thing that gives me some confidence is that we just got done playing down to a lesser opponent. I would be more worried if we just played well against a really good team.....and were over confident. The Philadelphia game should be a fresh reminder of what can happen. Every game left should be approached like it's a playoff game.

    It'll never happen but I would love to see Stotts throw Cliff and his six fouls at boogie.

    Agreed. This is a game we could very easily lose and we can't afford to lose. We're still only 1.5 maybe 2 games ahead of the 9th seed, this is not time to get comfortable. The Kings beat Dallas easy, they play for nothing but they feel more loose and with Rudy Gay healthy they're better than their record.

    Gay, Rondo, and Cousins all expected to miss the game to get rest.

    Rest for what? Their vacation in 2 weeks?

    Not so stealth tank. They need to lose their way into the top 10 protection on their pick.

    Sidebar: A good night to sit Dame as well. He's looked so overworked the last two weeks.
