It didn't seem like Bay Area picked up the game. I was going to watch the game last night, but it wasn't showing. Instead, they had the SF Giants game on!? I have no idea why they didn't do the Warriors game. It was the first time this happen this season.

Shooting is anything but House work

Talk about sweet shooting strokes on the Kings, and the names Peja Stojakovic and Mike Bibby will immediately fly off the tongues of observers.

But make sure you check out backup guard Eddie House's form. And do it quickly, or else a jumper will already be released in your face.

Kings guard Cuttino Mobley, who ranks fourth in the NBA in three-point shooting, claims no one has as pure a shot as House.

"It's the purest jump shot I've ever seen," Mobley said. "He's one of the best shooters I've ever seen. And he's short (6-foot-1). It's unbelievable how he just gets the ball over big guys easy. And he has great concentration."

House, who is playing with his fifth team in five NBA seasons and with his third club this season, said he appreciates Mobley's compliment.

"His stroke is as good as I've ever seen," Carril said Tuesday night before House made 5 of 7 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, in the Kings' 122-101 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics.

I'm glad we got him.

Haha. I also heard that House told his agent Kings was a team he really wanted to go to. Mainly because it's close to his home.

Bibby's brother lives with him. So I always joke around and say that House probably lives with Bibby right now since they're in-laws.

They probably do.

Also this could be the first time two relatives play in same team.

The Barrys are brothers but have never played for same team I beileve.

Analysis: Kings near another playoff spot

It would be their seventh consecutive appearance, one of the NBA's longest streaks.

PORTLAND, Ore. - When really analyzing this NBA season, one finds that either the other teams are a bunch of slugs, or the Kings have done a solid job of overcoming change and injuries to have a decent season.

When they take the Rose Garden floor tonight to face the Portland Trail Blazers, the Kings (46-30) will do so with the NBA's seventh-best record.

Currently, it appears the Kings will make the playoffs and the Minnesota Timberwolves (40-35) will not.

If that occurs, and the Indiana Pacers make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, only they and the San Antonio Spurs - at eight straight berths - will have longer postseason streaks than the Kings' seven. That might not mean much to Johnny-come-lately spoiled Kings backers, but those who have been in it for decades should have a little more respect for the team's run.

Kings coach Rick Adelman isn't taking anything for granted, insisting his team must make the playoffs first.


This is great news. Hope that we continue this for years to come.

Ailene Voisin: Kings are still team in the making

You thought you knew these recently reconfigured Kings. You thought they were tougher and together. You thought they were inspired and inspiring. You thought they were committed enough to collectively cause a commotion.

And sometimes they are.

And sometimes they're not.

Consistency isn't their muse of late.

At a time when NBA teams are seriously jostling for playoff positioning, the Kings have failed to establish either an offensive or defensive identity and emerged only as an enigma, a club capable of charming their fans one night and confounding and disappointing the next. (One spirited victory over the ailing Seattle SuperSonics doesn't solve a riddle.)

"Sometimes we don't always come to play," Kings guard Mike Bibby acknowledged, noting the current 6-4 swing. "We need to run a little bit more, play together, and that's all. We know how we're capable of playing."

Bibby is right.
