Sacramento Kings Last Years Record: 33-49 Key Losses:
Eric Musselman, Corliss Williamson, Vitaly Potapenko Key Additions: Reggie
Theus, Mikki Moore, Spencer Hawes, Angela Tsai 1. What significant moves were made during the offseason? What ...
The Bee adopts Sactown Royalty's nickname for Kevin
Martin
A defense of one of the league's most
underrated players.
Seriously, Delaney's crew must have thought they were
still in Oakland , because this one was full
of make-up calls for Northern California. Monta Ellis died for our sins. Memphis's first big run: In the second quarter, when the Kings couldn't score with a Garcia/Martin/Salmons/Artest/Hawes lineup. No movement; the only ball movement was passes between the three guards out on the perimeter...
As section214 noted in his recap from the
arena , the game was a bit chippy. There
was more jawing than action, I'd say, though Tony Allen gave Dahntay Jones a huge forearm shiver and Mikki Moore absolutely destroyed Rajon Rondo on a "block attempt." ...
Don't worry, there are no rumors regarding trades
of Kevin Martin. The subject is Bill Simmons' annual
trade value column , which is a basically a giant ranking of the most valuable players taking into account age, contract length and salary along ...
All this talk about Beno Udrih's place among
the league's most improved and the league's point guards
is nice. For what it's worth, outside observers Empty the Bench place Udrih among their top 7 Most Improved candidates . Nate Jones has some good insight on what he saw from the Kings last Sunday , and also asks folks to stop heckling Ron Artest so hard.
Strike while the curling iron is hot, I
always say. I'm sure that Brad's new 'do won't
last long, so let's get it named while it's still here. A few ideas in the poll after the jump (click on 'entry link' to get there), but feel free to toss in ...

He slapped his wife, cops have been to
the house six times since August.
I hate the world.
While I enjoyed the "fat" years of the
Kings continually reaching the playoffs every season, part of
me says that those years were not legitimate, and the Kings are back to playing their appropriate role. Losers. Welcome back, Kings. Some sick parts of us missed you.
Sactown Royalty remembers when Chris Webber made the
Kings matter....
Last year, not only did the team finish
weak, but Sactown's bright spot limped into the offseason
as well. Not the case this season. Kevin Martin just completed the best month of his pro career, with 26.3 points per game on .634 true shooting, 4 rebounds and 2 assists .
There's been some debate since Saturday's win over
Denver, and with tonight's game at Golden State looming:
Which team would you rather see in the playoffs? The crimes against Denver: They deserve punishment for not giving up Linas Kleiza for Ron Artest at the deadline. The crimes against Golden State: Local rival; Stephen Jackson got all "scoreboard" on Reggie Theus because coach took a ...
"Call me an optimist, but I think Miller
can be relevant on the next great Sacramento Kings
team."
I keep hearing people say Kevin Martin needs
to step up , needs to be more clutch
, needs to take the game by its haunches and... . You know. To me, it looks silly, all this "Kevin's soft" and "Kevin's not clutch" and "Kevin's not the second coming ...
Not that the difference between W or L
has tons of weight at this point, and no
win was even guaranteed had the play ended with a Spencer Hawes rebound instead of three Juan Carlos Navarro free throws. But good freaking gravy. Bad play, man. Bad play. I might also question just a bit the absence of John Salmons in the last quarter.
Kevin Martin exceeded all expectations this season. Sam
Amick gave Martin a B+ for his season ,
and that's insane. Go back to October and tell me Martin would finish with 20 ppg on more efficient shooting than last year and fewer turnovers. Every ...
Joke/image by Jeff Reguilon .
After that awful episode last year with his
Great Dane, Socks, Ron Artest has seemingly reformed completely.
He did a stint with the Placer SPCA earlier this season, and now he's appearing in an ad campaign for PETA . (You can see the ad after the ...
