How bout it Kings fans?

Did Peja look sad in the 1st half? The guy is such an NBA "good citizen" that I really worry about him when he's not clicking.... The guy is 0 for 11 and the rest of his team tells him "keep shooting". Then comes the 2nd half & Peja comes alive & pours in 18!

1. Kings BABY!

Peja woke up, Miller woke up, and Christie woke up - just at the right time. Bibby is still the go-to player IMHO.

2. As Peja goes, so goes the team

But without Bobby Jackson and a 100% Webber, I don't think this is their year...again.

3. Laker fan?

4. Nope

I actually am a Kings fan and a Laker hater, but being a Kings fan is almost like being a Red Sox fan. They piss me off no end. Never mind their playoff history and heartbreaks, look at the end of this season. Any other team would have taken care of business. All they needed was one lousy win to get the #2 seed. (Of course it won't matter if they don't get past Minnesota.)

Bobby Jackson brings both athleticism and intensity. Bibby is the only other guy who brings it every night. Peja is the X factor. When he's hot, he can carry the team. When he's not, we'll see...

I would love for them to meet the Lakers and kick ass, but am I putting money on the Kings? Nobody bets on the Kings. As a team, they're kind of a headcase.

5. I think if they can get past Dallas,

They're in a better seed. I'd rather face MN than SA any day.

6. especially considering SA is healthy and on a roll

I'd be inclined to agree that if I were the Kings, I'd rather face Minnesota over San Antonio

[Jack_Dawson]

7. Yup -

No jinxing here though...but IF the Kings can get past Dallas, then let LA and SA beat up on each other.

8. And what about the rooky center

It seems to me that the Mavs tried to take advantage of his youth & inexperience. They hammered the shit out of him & he calmly went to the line & scored his free shots. Played good defence also!
