Just when the Sacramento Kings looked like their star guard Kevin Martin was beginning to hit his strides, the NBA team, according to The Sacramento Bee, will be without their leading scorer for the next six to eight weeks after it was discovered that Martin has a hairline fracture.

Good news, Kings fans: In this young 2009-10 NBA season, Sacramento is not the home of the worst NBA team in the Golden State.

By Ziller SERIOUSLY, KEVIN, in preseason? Harsh, dude! I wish I had been there to see how Portland guarded Martin so that I write an essay titled "Either the Blazers Don't Know How to Defend Kevin Martin, or Kevin Martin is Unguardable." It would get mad links!

By Ziller REAL TALK Obviously, as this game will serve as the first opportunity to experience (whether through Gary Gerould, or choppy stream, or box score, or play-by-play) the Tyreke Evans-Kevin Martin pairing, it's pretty damn exciting. No preseason game can define anyone, anywhere. But give...

By Signal to Noise 4. Houston Rockets - Not jumping on the bandwagon to top the conference, no way, not until Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming make it through a full season without injury. Adding Ron Artest could be really good, especially on the defensive end, but they're not leaping that far ahead.

By dberri Artest and the Sacramento Kings Table One: The Sacramento Kings in 2007-08 The "good" Rockets Table Three: The Houston Rockets in 2007-08 Point Guard: Rafer Alston, Aaron Brooks Center: Yao Ming, Luis Scola, Dikembe Mutombo Point Guard: McGrady Small Forward: Artest Center: Yao Ming

By noreply@blogger.com (David Friedman) A positive for Houston is that Artest has a solid relationship with Rick Adelman, who coached Artest for half a season in Sacramento. That was the last time Artest played in the playoffs; the Kings went 26-14 down the stretch after acquiring Artest in a midseason deal in 2005-06 but Artest's numbers were hardly spectacular during that run: he shot .383 from the field, .302 from three point range and .717 from the free throw line. On the positive side of the ledger, he played excellent defense and averaged 16.9 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 4.2 apg and 2.0 spg. His playoff numbers were very similar (.383, .333, .696, 17.4 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 3.0 apg, 1.6 spg) as the Kings lost 4-2 to the San Antonio Spurs. It is worth mentioning that Artest missed game two of that series, a 128-119 loss for...   [read the full post]

By David Friedman I just read three magazine articles that perplexed me. "Mal" means sick and if you flip that around and add an "s" for "subpar" then you'll know where I found these articles. Anyway, the first one declared that the New York Knicks and Sacramento Kings are going to face each other in this year's NBA Finals. Maybe this was just a satirical piece--albeit one that failed to provide either humor or insight--because even with the long lead time it takes to put out a magazine there is no way that anyone who actually watches the NBA could possibly believe that those squads are going to the Finals in 2008 without purchasing tickets. If the Knicks get rid of Stephon Marbury soon then they could possibly, maybe grab the eighth playoff spot in the East. As for th...   [read the full post]
