Denver lost too. So we're back in *10th place.

Just got back. Maybe the deadest crowd I have ever seen, but the fact that both teams played really ugly basketball didn't help. The bottom line is with New Orleans down to a D-League squad this would have been a horrible horrible loss at home and we avoided that. To say Pek was missed tonight is a huge understatement.

Both the team and the crowd needs to be much better if we want to have a chance Friday against Memphis.

Kings hanging with the Grizzlies without Cousins and the half-man, half-god Derrick Williams is 2/7 from the field.

Griz are winning the game. D-Will still sucks, we really are better off without him...

It was close until about a minute and a half and they pushed the lead to nine or ten. Love has his hands full against them. Needs to get outta this 3P shooting funk he's in. Horrendous streak he's in right now.

A noteworthy adjustment we are seeing: Bud and Luc are the backup wings. Shved is riding the pine. So both the starters and reserves have an offensive-minded wing and a defensive-minded wing.

Adelman said he liked the defense of Mbah a Moute better tonight and that's why he went with him over Shved. I know, the obvious answer right? I'm not sure if he'll continue this trend, though. I thought Alexey was playing good ball and while I want Luc to get minutes, I don't think I want him getting Alexey's.

Agree Cam, I think it should be at the expense of Cunninghams and Bareas minutes.

Yeah, it's unfortunate for Shved...

But I really like having a consistent defensive presence at SF. So I am all for the Brewer/Luc tag team. Tonight it was the Martin/Bud tag team at SG, but it's good to know Shved can be plugged in there if one is unavailable (or struggling mightily).

We know we have the Rubio/Barea tag team at PG. So if Shved is not playing at SG, who gets plugged in at PG should Rubio or Barea become unavailable? Shved or Price?

That's extremely easy for me to answer because I want Shved to replace Barea right now and Barea's still available.
