Posted in You know you’re headed for an NBA retirement when you’re a free agent and no NBA team takes a flyer on you. Not one single team. Some players would opt to go overseas and play until the NBA becomes interested again. In the case of Bobby Jackson, the decision was one that was cut and dried. [...]

Undermanned Warriors Hold Off Kings 105-100
The Golden State Warriors, despite having several players unable to play due to injury, seem to thrive as they – prior to their game on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings – came armed with a 2-game winning streak. Neither team shot well, but apparently Kelenna Azubuike had the Kings’ number as he scored 30 points, [...]
Kings Lead From Start To Finish, Sink Clippers 98-86
Depending on your point of view and whether you are a Sacramento Kings fan or simply follow the team, their game Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers had no meaning, except for the win-loss column. It can be said that the Kings played excellent defense or that the Clippers couldn’t hit the broad side [...]
Yao Leads Rockets Past Listless Kings 94-82
It’s true that the Houston Rockets are a different yet successful team without Tracy McGrady in their lineup, but at the same time, they’ll need him for the push for the playoffs as soon as possible right after the All-Star break. Fortunately for the Rockets, their opponent on Wednesday was the Sacramento Kings; stout defense [...]
D-Ron Ruins C-Webb’s Moment, Jazz Hold Off Kings 111-107
The Sacramento Kings, despite their abysmal win-loss record, had something to celebrate during their game on Friday night. Specifically, they retired the jersey of Chris Webber at halftime yet that occasion was bittersweet as Deron Williams hit the go-ahead basket with 20 ticks left on the game clock, sending the Utah Jazz away from Arco [...]
Undermanned Nuggets Shoot 56%, Rout Kings 118-99
Whether the thin air in Colorado had anything to do with the Sacramento Kings’ performance Tuesday night in their game against the Denver Nuggets would be speculative, but nonetheless, the Nuggets put together a strong second and third quarter span as they easily defeated Sacramento 118-99 at Pepsi Center. Denver started slowly at first as [...]
K-Mart’s 45 Not Enough As Pacers Crown Kings 122-117
Two of the teams that I cover on a somewhat regular basis, the Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers, hooked up at Conseco Fieldhouse on Saturday night as both teams are struggling to find their identity. Both teams shot well (Sacramento at 47.1% while Indiana shot 50%); but despite Kevin Martin’s 45 points, Danny Granger made [...]
O’Neal Pours In 36, Raptors Crown Kings At Arco 107-101
I think that it was a matter of time before Toronto Raptors center Jermaine O’Neal would revert to his former self; unfortunately for him until recently, injuries had held back his progress. In Friday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings, O’Neal played as if he was a member of his former team, the Indiana Pacers; he [...]
