NO GUTS, NO HEART, NO GLORY
TMH1

No guts, no heart, no glory. This team should be alarming us Kings fans. They have yet to exemplify any heart whatsoever. Having injuries is one thing but there is no excuse for not playing with heart. Where are the damn floor burns? This team will not be able to turn it on like the Lakers in April. I am not a bandwagoner and I am not jumping ship. I just can't stand watching a team that can't match the intensity of the other squad. Pathetic.

I there are injuries but no excuses for a team that wants to win a championship. This is a team that expects to be in contention for the ring. They have to set the tone early in the season against their competition. If I am a Sonic fan then I feel great about their chances against the Kings. This team is beatable. Easily. If you hustle for loose balls, contend for every rebound, and take them to the hole this team is soft. There is no weak-side help at all on defense and the players are not stopping the ball penetration. Defense is played with the feet. The Kings are not putting themselves in front of their man. When they let them by there is nobody stepping up and putting a body on them. I can't remember when I've ever seen a team dunk so much on this team. The rest of the league is watching. I hope the Kings take notice and give themselves a gut check. What is it going to take to motivate these guys? They are 6-4. Last year without Webber they were 19-5. It is a different season.

MEDIOCRE, NOT AWFUL

The Kings played a game that would have beaten half the NBA, fair shooting and good outside defense. The remarkable thing was their mediocrity in defending the post and getting rebounds. Chris shot well but didn't rebound. Vlade was ok but not sharp.

If Peja had played or Heo for that matter, they might even have won against Seattle. Hope to see them both back soon. Seattle is clearly in the groove right now. And the Kings are not in top form. But they will be back.
