Since the 1986-87 season, only three players have registered six block and six made threes in a single game: Raef LaFrentz ( twice ), Robert Horry ... and Donte Greene . Tonight, against the Knicks . The Show added five assists, four rebounds and a steal for good measure, and finished with 24 points on 13 shots. The entire Sacramento team played well, but this was Donte's night. Tyreke Evans 's 20-point...

by Tom Ziller Filed under: Kings FanHouse previews a player to watch from each NBA team in advance of the 2009-10 season. Spencer Hawes is many things to many people. Well, perhaps I should say the name "Spencer Hawes" is many things to many people. Folks who won't watch a losing team remember the skinny, pale kid (pre- Sunset Tan !) of the 2007 draft, and imagine another Chris Mihm-Todd...
How ya like me now?! View full size photo uploaded September 7, 2009 Brian Scalabrine has been loved and hated; valued and vilified; counted on and counted out. He was brought in to be a veteran role playing leader. He became a punchline and a scapegoat. He was named on lists of " worst contracts ." At one point fans started to give him the old Bronx cheer (cheering in jest). Then somewhere...
Sam from Schleswig , not his real name, is a frequent contributor to this column. Sam noticed the item I had that said Harrison Barnes of Ames High School, who is regarded as the nation's No. 1 collegiate basketball prospect in the 2010 recruiting class, had narrowed his list of finalists to Iowa State, North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, UCLA and Oklahoma . That prompted Sam to make these comments to me...
In a column today from espn.com Bill Simmons recaps the NBA offseason, which includes his take on the Magic: To Marcin Gortat, who parlayed one "little hit" (a solid playoff performance) into a $33 million deal that, if you're a Dallas fan, you should be happy isn't clogging up your cap right now. I liked Gortat heading into the summer as a great value risk in the "four years, $17.6...
One of the strong, ongoing themes of the summer is the fluctuation in the public perception of Blazers General Manager Kevin Pritchard. Even before he assumed his current position his name was whispered in awe among Blazer fans and much of the media. He made his bones in the Brandon Roy/LaMarcus Aldridge draft but he was retroactively credited with being the voice of righteousness even on predating...
Chad Ford over at ESPN has posted a list of all 30 NBA teams ranked by their summer moves. Obviously based on what we've done so far, we are going to be in the bottom half. Our low ranking is also due to non existant first rounders from this years draft. Either way, he is irked at how little KP has done and not impressed with our draft. I'm not quite as worried. Here's what he had to say about Portland:...
The Hedo Turkoglu thing has such momentum right now that I'm not even going to try to fight it. We said what we had to say on the subject a couple days ago . I'll let the sidebar posts and the approximately one billion media references speak for themselves. Enjoy the whirlwind! However I did want to get in a couple simple posts. The Rasheed Wallace one is right below this. This one covers a question...
Editor's Note: I did one of these a few years back. I'll try to dig up the original list, but here's my new one. New research and a different mindset shifted some of these. 10. Roy Williams, Kansas Jayhawks Basketball Roy had 15 good years at Kansas. Just ask him . However, he never won the big one and only made four Final Fours in 15 years. He never made the Final Four with Raef LaFrentz and Paul...
Here's a very handy list of all the free agents that will be hitting the market in July. They even have a page sorted by position . Why don't we pool our collective wisdom and start picking some favorites? As you make comments, I can update this list. So far I've just tried to narrow the list down to guys that interest me and start lumping them into vague groupings. (r = restricted | eto = early termination...
