Mike Bibby has gone fishing. As has Bobby Jackson and Rick Adelman. Likewise Brian Skinner. And Darius Songaila. And for what it's worth, Kevin Ollie, Louis Amundson, Tyronn Lue and Loren Woods. So whom do we live vicariously through? To whom do we attach our post King, post season allegiance? Four of the eight remaining playoff teams have former Kings on their roster: Boston has Scot Pollard and...

The playoffs cannot get here soon enough. While it was fun watching Sean Marks torch a Trail Blazers team with not much to play for and seeing Jarrett Jack ball his fists in anticipation of fighting Brian Skinner (that would have been fun to watch,) I need the playoffs and I need them now.82 [...]

No caption. I just love the look on Vince Carter's face. Mike D'Antoni: Last week, I said : "I really hope that coach D'Antoni keeps playing [Brian Skinner]...but my guess is that once Grant Hill gets back, Skinner's going back into cold storage." Well, Hill came returned from organ removal last night and played 27 minutes. Skinner played five minutes. Now, I know Skinner's abilities are limited,...

Posted: 11:10 PM- Marcus Banks? Eric Piatkowski? Brian Skinner? Sean Marks? So much for seeing the real Phoenix Suns in their only visit to EnergySolutions Arena this season, not to mention the ratings for Thursday night's nationally televised game on TNT.

You can't go under a screen on Steve Nash. You can't turn your back on the man with the ball in the triangle. Christmas has given us the gift of the attacking style of the Phoenix Suns versus the triangle offense of the Los Angeles Lakers. Pretty much everyone thought the addition of Brian Skinner [...]

Halftime prayers shouldn't count. Although I guess some players -- Ron Artest, for one -- have professed to practicing them. Amended: Halftime prayers by players who don't practice 40-footers shouldn't count. Daps to the scorekeeper who singlehandedly gave the Kings a shot at the buzzer. I can't find a clip of Leandro Barbosa's face when the errant shot clock sounded, but I watched it numerous times...

After giving back what was once a 19-point lead, the Suns held on in the closing minutes to win the game 100-98. So what's the first thing that comes to mind after this game? Thank goodness for Brian Skinner's three-point shooting! For those who weren't watching, listening, or following along in the live blogging , Brian Skinner put up a buzzer-beater from somewhere between half-court and the three-point...
