    The Kings have to have the worst bench production in the league. I know DAMN WELL the Kings dont have the worst bench in terms of talent. Tonight the Kings lost to the Sonics and the Kings bench chipped in with a WHOPPING 9 points!!! Martin,Garcia,Thomas,Skinner,Hart,and Williamson should be able to help the team ALOT more than they are currently. The first team must be absolutely destroying the second team in practice. Maybe thats why SAC is having such a hard time this season...because the starters are so used to playing the second team that does nothing. So then when the Kings play a team that can play together they become shocked. So whats the problem?

    The Queen's front office is spending too much time making videos to upset the visiting teams, rather than doing their jobs. Maybe if they spent a little time researching players they could bring in some talent and win some games.

    BTW The reason that you lost to the Sonics is beacause they are the better team, easily.

    Good question. They have a bunch of quality players off the bench, so I don't know what's going on really. Maybe it's the lack of leadership or they are not into the game as they usually are. That at times usually falls on the coach shoulder, maybe a new voice can get them going and if the Kings keep going like this, a new voice is just what they might get.

    Simple. Without Bobby Jackson coming off the bench, they lost that guy who can change a game solely with scoring. Martin, Garcia and Williamson are good players and can put up ten a night if given 30 minutes, but the previous two are very young and inexperienced. They will have their off nights. Williamson hasn't had a productive role since being traded to Sacramento, and he is 32 already, not to mention undersized and with Thomas playing ahead of him, struggling for minutes. Thomas is far from being to create for himself, while Hart I always think is overrated and blown out of proportions after a somewhat good year on the expansion Bobcats last year. With this group of role players off the bench, don't expect much.

    Please write a letter to Mr.Adelman and ask him to consider playing Kenny Thomas for 20-25 minutes a game.

    I think their bench is lacking hunger and intensity. I wouldn't doubt the starting five aren't happy, but the bench is whats causing Sac's lack of production. Give the starters some good replacements, you might get better results.

    Garcia and KT have stepped it up.

    I want to like KMart, but he doesn't 'get it' yet. Still forcing the issue.

    Garcia was very smooth vs the bobcats last night, and Kt was good too.

    Kenny Thomas could easily become the 6th man of the year candidate if he gets enough playing time. He was the key player in the Webber deal which right now looks one sided. The Kings usually get the maximum out of a player's potential, but aren't doing so in Kenny T's case..
