Sporting News Ranks Kings Last in Preseason Power Rankings

Kings ranked 30th of 30 in Preseason Power Rankings. Ouch.

Anyone catch PTI Friday?

Dan LeBatard (and we know how much he lives up to the translation of that last name) and Wilbon positively skewered the Kings on Friday, wondering why anyone would ever want to coach the team.

Basically, the implication was that we are so bad that no coach in his right mind would want to come here.

Anyone else hate LeBatard? I have never heard him say anything nice about the city, the team, or the players. He implied that Kevin Martin was the only thing good about the team, and even Kevin isn't that good.

No wonder everyone boos when he is subbing on the show.

The third bullet point for Friday links back to a certain web page.

Friday Bullets

* There is not bad blood between Don Nelson and Baron Davis. Consider Nelson, asked by Tim Kawakami of the Mercury News about people who might be coming to visit in Hawaii: "Baron's coming out next week. It'll be good to see him. I miss him."
* Somebody should make a big list of players who did not take the biggest contract they were offered or could possibly get. Tim Duncan, Gilbert Arenas, half the D-League ... there are many such players, and they are a nice antidote to the often true, but somewhat cynical view that it's all about the money.
* You should look at this. (Links to: http://www.sactownroyalty.com/2008/7/31/584077/reno-bighorns )

True Hoop loves Jason Thompson

They call him their "Favorite Clutch Player" from the summer leagues. Nice.
