Preseason Game Day 2: Blazers at Kings 10/7

Found October 07, 2009 on Blaze of Love: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Sergio Rodriguez
TEAMS: Sacramento Kings

Not much has changed from last night to tonight's game except that both teams jumped on separate airplanes and headed south to cowbell country to battle it out.  With that said, having the Blazers play the Kings in their first two games ranks up there as one of the poorest decisions by the organization in recent years.  The return of Sergio Rodriguez in the preseason is not an acceptable storyline and Tyreke Evans isn't drawing THAT much attention, yet. No need for some insightful preview for this game, right?  Instead, how about a few random comparisons to lighten up the day. Battle of Hairdos:  Roy's Backyard Playground vs. Rudy's Flippity Flip Battle of Nocioni's:  New Noci vs. Old Noci Battle of Fans:  Cowbells vs. Actual Fans Battle of Beards:  Circa Training Camp or Circa 1980s (H/T Ben for Photo) Battle of Politics:  Greggack Obamen vs. Spence Limbhawes And...yep. __________...

Join the Kings Corner Facebook page here. Follow Sam and fellow hoops scribe Jason Jones on Twitter - sam_amick and jejones_sacbee. *** PORTLAND, Ore. - So my game story on the direction of the Kings' franchise and how Tyreke Evans fits in went hard in one direction - thumbs up.

Preseason Game Day 1: Kings vs. Blazers 10/6

Via Blaze of Love  |  October 06, 2009
It seems a little hard to believe that game 1 of the preseason is already upon us doesn't it?  Only a few months ago, the heartbreak of a first round playoff loss was all our minds could take.  And now?  New life and new hopes for great things! Our "15 Thoughts" segment is likely going away this year unless we get an overwhelming response to bring...

Ready for the real refs ...

Via Sacbee  |  October 08, 2009
Being an NBA referee is a tough job. We get that. We also have been known to point out their blown calls, and on more than one occasion, some of us have referred to the lousy officiating in Game 6 of the 2002 Kings-Lakers Western Conference finals. But after sitting through the Kings-Blazers preseason game at Arco Arena, and watching the replacement refs call a total of 63 fouls...

Casspi's biggest critic is himself

Via Sacbee  |  October 09, 2009
Omri Casspi had three tough days and what he thought were three legitimate reasons to be in a funk. He thought the coach was down on him. He thought his fans in Israel were disappointed. He thought the glut of Kings small forwards foreshadowed a season of down time, depriving him of an opportunity to establish himself in the league. He was wrong about everything except the glut...
