Is this Game #29? I have lost track. Or maybe there is no that. THINK ABOUT THAT. THERE MIGHT NOT BE A TRACK.
Air your grievances. Let's go Kings.

"He worked his tail off last year to really get that contract that he hadn't had," said Kenny Natt, the Kings' interim coach after Reggie Theus' ouster last week. "My objective right now is to get him back to where he was — hungry, like he was...

As Sam Amick continues to report brilliantly on the end of Reggie Theus, it's worth wondering if the whole coaching change really came down to management's distaste for Chuck Person and the latitude granted to him by Theus. Amick offers the latest...

Hoopsworld: Miller to Cleveland?
"The scenario that seems most appealing to the Kings would be swapping Brad Miller and Kenny Thomas to the Cavaliers for the ending contract of Wally Szczerbiak and impressive rookie J.J. Hickson."
This seems like...

A pre-emptive thanks to the thread jockey’s here at StR, who provided the inspiration (and much of the material) for the following post –
I’m not advocating for Wallace (not sure I want him to be honest), just pointing out that...

I hate pointing out one or two statistics and insisting that is the reason a team won or lost a game, but ...

One more time -- this one's on News10 at 5 pm for the TiVo crowd. (I always forget to program in the News10 games. Thank goodness for the "set a recording from the web" feature.)

Results are bourgeois. Let's listen to Kenny Natt talk about why Spencer Hawes spent the whole game in the post, in the shadow of Yao Ming:
"I'm working to try and put him in positions where he can get better looks. The only way he's going to get...

Well, it wasn't easy, it wasn't pretty, but the San Jose Sharks got back to their winning ways and defeated the New York Rangers Saturday night by a score of 3 - 2. Though Team Teal got off to a great start, I've got to say that I didn't feel...

"Guys who go after the basketball, if that's what they do well, they always do it at just about every level they play unless they're just totally out-sized," [Jerry] Sloan said. "It usually won't come to you unless you go after it, for some...

The word "discipline" is taken the wrong way in sports. When a coach pronounces that he'll be bringing discipline to a team, we imagine fines for tardiness, or wind sprints for missing an assignment, or a tightly controlled rotation based on who...

Last weekend, Sam Amick kicked off the Brad Miller trade rumors with an assessment of his place on the team, given Spencer Hawes' development and the team's current record.
As noted in the FanPosts, the Chicago Tribune published a light dose of...
