BACK TO BASKETBALL
Gaijin

I'm getting a little scared at how the press are painting the Kings these days - like they are unbeatable by anyone other than the Lakers. Not true. The Jazz gave us big time trouble in Round 1, and the Mavs series was more a matter of who stopped scoring first than the blow-out the final 4-1 result might indicate...at least that's how it looked to me. I'd be happy with 55-60 wins again BUT i think the team is deeper and thus more injury-proof than last year, and am cautiously

optimistic that it can beat that record. Bibby being out shouldn't matter all that much in the W/L column; in fact, I think it's an opportunity to let Hedo, Wallace, and Bo-Jax step forward.

I can definitely see the Lakers struggling in the first half, as Kobe tries to find his shot again, and, as always, bites off more than he can chew while Shaq is out. Injury is always a possibility in that scenario. The scrubs are the scrubbiest yet. Come back Glen Rice and Horace Grant, you must be thinking, as you pore the stat sheets of Tracy Murray and Coattails. Still, I expect to see them make a surge again when the alarm bell goes off. Wonder what stimulant Phil will use this year?
