The Mavericks were always in the executioner's role, always with the biggest weapon and the strategically superior position. But damn if they didn't have to hack at the Kings repeatedly to get the job done. "Put the kids to bed, Sally, the Kings are in town!" Dallas ended up winning...
DALLAS This easily could be seen as a rude welcome back. Miss a game because of an injury, and the first night back on the job, you're asked to defend Dirk Nowitzki. That was the task of Kings forward Andres Nocioni on Friday night. After missing Tuesday's loss to Chicago because of a right hip pointer, Nocioni returned to the lineup and spent most of his defensive attention trying to slow...
[Thanks to Prevenge for today's game preview . -ed.] Or, as it is otherwise known, "The Return of Crazy Pills". You may have heard of the Los Angeles Lakers . They're a pretty good basketball team. Have one or two good players. Well, then they have Crazy Pills, or [as he is otherwise known] Ron Artest , the man who is changing his number to 37 because that's the number of weeks Michael Jackson's...

Already we’re being teased with the fantasy of being able to afford Andres Nocioni as a backup SF, only giving up Tony Allen, [...]
Sacramento, Philly, Boston Trade?: “Sources told ESPN.com that the Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento Kings, in considering the feasibility of a Samuel Dalembert-for-Kenny Thomas swap, have discussed expanding that concept with Boston by trying to draw in the Celtics on a potential three-way deal that would land Andres Nocioni with the Celts.” Knee-jerk reaction - why [...]
Kind of a welcome breather yesterday, huh? No controversial coaching decisions. No stymied power plays. No frustrating breakdowns in defensive adjustments. No Laurence Maroney running 11 yards to gain two. No leaving Tim Thomas helplessly out to dry against a flurry of goals. No settling for threes when the lane is wide open. No red zone failures. Nobody lost. Around here, this week...we'll take it....

Marc Stein of ESPN reports on TrueHoop that the Kings are in exploratory discussions with Philadelphia and Boston in a deal that would bring centre (boom!)

[Thanks to enemy combatant pookeyguru for today's game preview . I'm not sure yet how the 9pm CST start times will throw off my recappin' game, but it likely will somewhat. -ed.] Tonight is a battle of 2 teams at different paths in their journey.

After starting the season with three straight losses on the road, the Kings came through late to delight a rare sellout crowd in Sacramento. It was a back-and-forth...
