Kings coach Kenny Natt has not hesitated to pull guard Beno Udrih, left, for poor execution. Bobby Brown and Bobby Jackson have filled in admirably. Kenny Natt says he needs to get Beno Udrih back to being hungry. The next five games are big ones for the point guard, as they present some tough matchups: T.J. Ford, Devin Harris, Derrick Rose, Mario Chalmers and Jason Kidd.

Kings coach Kenny Natt has not hesitated to pull guard Beno Udrih, left, for poor execution. Bobby Brown and Bobby Jackson have filled in admirably. If Beno Udrih had any luxury in mind at this point in his career, he figured it would come with his new contract. A five-year, $32.3 million deal signed last summer left ample room for opulence as the Kings point guard's journey went from securing a long-term...

Will they ever throw another pass? Will they ever score again? Will they defend? Will they win another game? Will they even get out of the bed in the morning? "I don't want to show my face," Bobby Jackson said. "I have never been part of anything like this. I'm embarrassed, and I hope everyone else is embarrassed. That was just ridiculous the way we came out there and competed tonight. I wouldn't...

NEW ORLEANS The sore back and the nagging Achilles' and even the aging knees covered in ice were nothing compared to the pain of peeking at the box score. But Bobby Jackson had to look. And what the Kings' veteran guard saw was something he had seen many times. By any name CP3, Olympic gold medalist, MVP candidate Chris Paul was his dominant self in New Orleans' 99-90 win Saturday night. The...

Q: Bobby Jackson made the point that you guys sort of feel like you can turn it on and turn it off. How have you guys earned the right to be that confident? A: We're not. We don't have any right to do that. He's right. Maybe it's not all the players here do that. Maybe some. But we all have to be turning on like that in the morning when we wake up. "OK, today it's a game. Let's focus. When we come...

"Now we know what we can do against a great team. They weren't 17-2 for nothing. And now they're 17-3 ." -- Bobby Jackson

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Kobe Bryant's 28 points weren't enough Tuesday to prevent the Los Angeles Lakers from losing just their third game this season, a 113-101 setback to Sacramento. The Kings' offense was led by John Salmons and Francisco Garcia, who dumped in 21 points each. Bobby Jackson came up with 15 points and Spencer Hawes added 11 points and nine rebounds for Sacramento, which surprisingly...

HECTOR AMEZCUA Bee file, 2008 Bobby Jackson didn't play for the first time this season during the Kings' loss to Denver on Saturday. That makes losing harder, he said. Bobby Jackson wiped the sweat that beaded down his head before looking up with intense focus. The hangover from Saturday night's loss hadn't abated, and the frustration was clear. "You should be angry when you lose like that, especially...

Any way you slice it, the Quincy Douby substitution (he came with 4 minutes left after having played zero minutes to that point) was bizarre. Whatever justification you offer can be dismissed fairly easily by the phrase, "But Quincy Douby?" Strangely, Bobby Jackson seemed to be the person most offended by the decision to insert Q over a "tired" BoJax. "I was fine, man," he said. "I wasn't gassing....

At no point during the wild fourth quarter comeback led by Bobby Brown did it really seem like the Kings could pull off the upset victory. Even as the margin shrunk to four and Bobby Jackson got loose, it seemed as if one or two missed shots and a fortuitous play on the Lakers end would signal the game's finish. And as it happened, the Kings missed a few shots and the Lakers turned up a couple of fortuitous...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Kings coach Reggie Theus said he started Bobby Jackson on Tuesday in hopes that getting the guard's engine going early would benefit the veteran. "Being an old guy, he gets his body going and he's in a better flow early instead of coming off the bench cold and having to start that Model-T up real quick," Theus said. "It takes a little while." Jackson started for the Kings for the first...

With Kevin Martin out for at least a week, and Francisco Garcia out just as long, what options does Reggie Theus have? Some of this has been discussed in the injury thread, but here are my thoughts. 1) Start Bobby Jackson at the two. This would certainly force the remaining starters to take on a greater offensive load. John Salmons is capable of scoring in bunches, as we saw during the Martin and...
