Who: Sonics (23-23) @ Kings (33-12) When: Tuesday, Feburary 3rd, 7pm Where: Arco Arena TV: KONG Notes: The season series stands in Sacramento's favour at 2-1. Seattle snapped a three game losing streak against Chicago, but face a tough task at ARCO. Last time these teams met in Sacramento, the Kings won 130-99. Thoughts?
Since the last game, Kings won by a blowout, I'd say Kings this time win in a close one, probebly Sonics missing in important shot at the final seconds.
My thoughts? Seattle is gonna get whooped again. You know the deal - you don't go into Arco without your full lineup and win. You just don't, and Seattle is without Brent Barry, whose passing and outside shooting they could use. Kings by at least 13.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Sir Desmond:</div><div class="quote_post">Last time these teams met in Sacramento, the Kings won 130-99. </div> Wow... that much huh? Lol. I see the outcome being the same... but by 31? Maybe 21.
Very tough task for the Sonics. Especially in the ARCO. Ive got to go with Sacramento by double digits.
This looks too difficult to even stand a chance. Even more so if Lewis isn't playing at his best. I say a loss in a tough loss battle. Kings take it with slight ease over the Sonics by at least double digits around the 15.
Sonics took Kings close a few days ago at the key even when Allen shot the ball poorly from all areas.I don't expect Sonics to get the win but at the same time I don't feel it will be a blowout either.

Miller collected 25 points, 15 rebounds and five assists and Stojakovic scored 26 points as the Sacramento Kings rallied from an early double-digit deficit to defeat the Seattle SuperSonics, 117-101. Mike Bibby added 18 points for the Kings, who trailed by 10 points early in the second quarter and 61-56 at halftime before taking control. Miller, who was named to his second All-Star Game, scored 14 points in the third quarter for Sacramento, which took the lead for good, 73-71, on a 3-pointer by Anthony Peeler with 4:37 left in the period. </div> Kings just had too much in the spare tank in the end, while Seattle seemed a bit burnt out in the second half. Rashard Lewis had 25/5, Ray Allen 23/5/5, Vladimir Radmanovic 19 and Antonio Daniels 13 points and a career high 14 assists. <font size="1">Full Story and Box Score courtesy of NBA.com. </font>
