Well, it was ugly. Very ugly. But I'll gladly take the win. Cheers! :D

Finally, we break the .500 mark.

Good Win..

It's a win, and we're over .500. But we're not going to beat either Memphis or Atlanta playing like that. With Pek out, we're going to need more from someone because the Kevins cant do it alone.

I'm still not a fan of Dante but him stepped up tonight to help get the win. When his shot is falling he is at least an okay player.

Yup, 20 efficient points per game is extremely tough to replace. Turiaf plays a more physical brand of interior defense, which is nice, but it doesn't come close to making up for what Pek does on the other end.

Over .500 for the first time since November 23rd.....Yet, it feels like the opposite of a moral victory. You watch that lineup out there without Pek and we absolutely labor to score points. You essentially have Love, Martin, and three guys that can't create their own offense. Then you put on top of that our anemic bench, and, oof. Thank God Cunningham hit everything he shot, otherwise this game could have ended in a really bad way.

We can't trade Pek unless we're getting back a 20+ PPG scorer AND a starting rim protector. Period.

Looks like Dallas is going to lose. Only two games out of the 8 seed. Friday's game is huge.

Also, the Kings are going head to head with Memphis. We could pick up a game on them too.
