On the Kings: Sactown Royalty / Cowbell Kingdom / Sacramento Bee
After dropping the first two games of their Western Conference trip, the Milwaukee Bucks look to earn their first road win of the season as they take on the Kings in Sacramento.
Milwaukee will once again be dealing with a long list of inactive players. Andrew Bogut, who reportedly returned "home" on Tuesday, remains away from the team. He is expected to rejoin the Bucks soon. Mike Dunleavy will miss his third consecutive game, as his flu symptoms have taken a mysterious medical turn and are now manifesting as a groin injury. Beno Udrih remains day-to-day with a shoulder injury sustained Monday against Denver. Finally, Luc Mbah a Moute will miss tonight's game due to continued soreness in his knee.
UPDATE: The Sacramento Kings have announced that head coach Paul Westphal has been fired. Assistant coach Keith Smart will coach the Kings in tonight's game.
Hobson Recalled. Likely in response to the depleted roster, the Bucks recalled Darington Hobson from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the NBA Development League. Hobson will be available tonight against the Kings. In three games with the Mad Ants, Hobson averaged 11.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. He put up an impressive 22/5/5 line in his first start on January 1. With a thin rotation in the backcourt and wings, it wouldn't be surprising to see Hobson play more minutes than usual (zero) tonight.
DeMarcus Drama. The Kings were embroiled in a minor controversy last weekend when coach Paul Westphal publicly announced that DeMarcus Cousins had requested a trade. Details from both sides of the story poured in, including strict denial by Cousins' agent John Greig. Cousins did not attend the Kings' game against New Orleans last Sunday, but has come off the bench in Sacramento's last two games, including an impressive 26 point outing in 25 minutes against the Nuggets last night. Tom Ziller of SB Nation suggests that this whole mess is just highlighting the failures of Kings coach Paul Westphal.
Another Tired Opponent. If only because I feel like I have to mention it, the Kings will be playing their third game in three nights as they complete their only back-to-back-to-back of the season. The last time Milwaukee faced a team playing on a similar schedule, the Denver Nuggets ran circles around them. I could suggest that, having just returned from a blowout loss to the Nuggets, the Kings will be burned out and discouraged, but I'm not sure if anybody will really buy that as a boost for the Bucks. If nothing else, a day of rest (and a return to sea level) gives Milwaukee a chance to recover from what was an exceedingly rough ride through the Rockies.
Do I Dare Mention Matchups? This time Tuesday, I was cheerfully writing about the Utah Jazz's poor defense offering a boost to Milwaukee's offense. This time today, I'm glumly noting that after Tuesday's game, the Jazz's defensive efficiency jumped from 27th to 20th, improving by 4.6 points. Similarly, the Bucks' offensive rating fell from 23rd to 28th. Tonight's contest actually looks very even--both teams are fairly fast-paced, both are dreadful on offense. Milwaukee seemingly holds a big advantage on defense, but it's questionable how that will play out with both Andrew Bogut and Luc Mbah a Moute inactive.
Out With The Old, In With The...Old. Milwaukee faces off against John Salmons for the first time since he was dealt to the Kings as part of a three-team deal on draft day. Comparing this year's numbers for Salmons and replacement Stephen Jackson is a bit sad. Both are shooting under 35% on the season, though Salmons has made 38% of his three-point shots; Stephen Jackson is taking two more shots from deep per game than John, but he's making fewer than 20% of them. So that's nice. Jackson has better ancillary stats but is also turning it over almost four times as much. If this game comes down to a battle between ex-and-current-Bucks, nobody will win.
We Want Our Hat Back. This will also be Milwaukee's first look at rookie Jimmer Fredette, who was drafted by the Bucks and then--NO NEVERMIND HE WAS NEVER DRAFTED BY THE BUCKS HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN A BUCK LET'S JUST FORGET THIS.
Triple-Double Watch. Drew Gooden and Chuck Hayes both pulled off improbable triple-doubles last season (Yahoo!'s Ball Don't Lie blog called Hayes' one of the least likely triple-doubles ever). If this game is anything like Tuesday's, a Drew Gooden trip-dub might not just be surprising, it might be necessary.

You know if Jimmer goes off for a big night
At least someone will say “The words that should not be spoken”
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
Bucks should've kept him!
Or at least bartered the hat for something to distract Hammond so someone could sign a backup C.

I own that hat and greatly debated bringing it with me to Sac
just so I could talk smack to Jimmer, but am opting for one of my new Bucks hats instead. See you tonite
As if the Bucks haven't had enough bad news...
The Kings have fired Westphal and Keith Smart will be coaching tonight. Now the Kings will pull out a “F*** Paul Westphal Game” and play with enthusiasm for the first time this season and play out of their minds tonight.
Evans, Thornton, and Cousins will be positively giddy.
No way, the Kings just made their choice and heaven help them it's Cousins
This team has young diva trainwreck written all over it. I kind of wonder if the Maloofs are trying to get the audience to quit on them. I expect no less than fifteen shots from Cousins, at 40% or less. Of course we have no Bogut so he could eat us alive in the paint. He’d still have to get the ball though, the Kings have zero distributors. This game will be ugly as original sin, but the Bucks have to win this. If we can’t, we really have nothing more to hope for than the lottery and a good package for Jennings.
by MadTown Hoops on Jan 5, 2012 1:53 PM CST up reply actions
Oh, I agree that long term this won't pan out for the Kings...
But I think that the players are all going to have an added incentive tonight to prove that their coach was the problem and therefore will play with a little more focus tonight. The fact that the Bucks are undermanned and vulnerable tonight gives them all the more reason to fight to get a win tonight to spite Westphal.
by Brick's house on Jan 5, 2012 2:15 PM CST up reply actions
I agree
Hey… but atleast we have a ton of injured guys so at the end of the year we can chalk up our failure to injuries and not a lack of talent
Nugget announcers, both radio and TV, were ripping Sacramento
for playing the most selfish, I don’t give a bleep, game that they’ve almost ever witnessed, and they are the same announcers that have called the “Thugget” JR Smith, Melo, K-Mart teams.
Westphal lost his team, they are pathetic, and it sucks for you that they didn’t keep him for one more game because last night bordered on mutiny by the Sac players.
Maya: "What are your first impressions of Denver?"
Mozgov: "I must break you..."
Kings and Wizards have a lot of similarities IMO
Lots of great individual potential, very little in the way of veterans to stabilize things. One reason the Hayes move made a lot of sense.
I think one area where the Bucks might be able to generate offense tonight..
is working Livingston in the post against Jimmer and especially the 5’9 Isaiah Thomas. I think he could have a good game tonight.
We'll have to actually play him at the point then
Utah was the first game where he wasn’t playing with either Beno/Brandon, which meant he hasn’t really had a chance to go against PGs except in switches.
Trying to stay upbeat by remembering a Earl Weaverism
He used to say that no matter what you were going to win 54 games and lose 54 games each season, it’s what you do with the other 54 that really matters.
So applying that adage to the Bucks I figure that the Bucks would win no less than 27 games this season and lose no less than 27(record between 27-39 and 39-27), so it’s what the Bucks do with the other 12.
My hopes are that the two wins came from the other 12 and the 3 losses were from the 27 losses. Ridiculous I know but it sounds good.
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
Weaver also believed in pitching and three-run homers.
The Milwaukee Bucks have neither (whatever the basketball equivalent is for those things).
Lol so true
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
I'm ducking as I type this but
What do people think the market for Bogut would be?
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
I ain't mad at ya for asking...
I just have no idea right now. Although Bogut insists he is healthy, he has seemed slow going up and down the court this year. His arm might be better, his post game hasn’t improved since last year. If healthy, his contract is reasonable for an above average center in the league.
Sad to report that he is the Bucks most valuable trade asset, but I am not even sure what he could get the team. The other factor is by trading Bogut, you lose the only center on the roster, and it is tough to find above average centers.
by Brick's house on Jan 5, 2012 3:13 PM CST up reply actions
I was thinking if you could get a package like
Derek Williams, one of the Wolves centres and a first round pick would you do it? (I think I might) Would the Wolves do it? Not to put Bogut and Kareem on the same tier but when the Bucks traded Kareem I believe it allowed them to be uber-competitive for 10-12 years and who knows what might have happened if Meyers didn’t walk away in his prime. They didn’t hve much other than Dandridge around Kareem at the time so barring a great draft or two, likely wouldn’t have done much better with Kareem. I just think with the contracts that centres are getting nowadays it might be a good time to explore trading Bogut, especially if you can get a 2012 first-round pick.
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
I would no doubt do Derrick Williams and a lottery pick if that is what someone was offering...
We’d get a top 6 pick next year and have a young stud to pair with Williams and Jennings. We would probably be bad the year after as well so we’d get another top pick. The young players would grow together OKC style.
I think the Wolves would counter with...
Beasley, Darko and a 1st for Bogut and Ilyasova. I don’t have access to Trade Machine to see if salaries match. But remember, the Hornets have the Wolves’ 2012 1st round pick and by 2013, they might not be a lottery team anymore.
by Brick's house on Jan 5, 2012 3:39 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Trade machine is down anyway
They are adjusting it to include the new CBA provisions
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
Wolves don't have a 1st
unless they got one from somebody else.
They have Utah's
But it’s top 14 protected. I think that’s a practice that should be banned, I know why they do it but it takes away some of the drama.

I avoid trade talk and rebuilding discussions
Not because it isn’t relevant and reasonable. But because it makes their dogged persistence of an error-clogged, less-than-adventurous Win Now policy look so deadly drab.
I don't so......
Golden State interested in Howard, maybe Bogut would tickle their fancy. Take back Kwame or Biedrins(Kwame preferred) and take Udoh or Thompson and a #1 if they have it. It’s mostly about the pick though

From Kings blog...
If I look at the Wolves, I can sort of see the team they want. Heat it’s obvious. Knicks it’s obvious. Spurs it’s obvious. Even the Jazz you can see the outlines of the future roster.
But I look at that Bucks team and I think t myself "What the fuck is going on here?"
Fair enough.
A samurai sword collection. If you can do it. I don’t know if you’re allowed.
haha
hate to see what he thinks when he looks at DeMarcus Cousins then
It's always easy to delude yourselves into seeing a superstar in DMC
That’s why he’ll always have trade value…might not be realistic, but all you need is one GM to think “This guys is ridiculously talented. He’ll figure it out.”
Spencer Haywood, Marvin "Bad-News" Barnes
To name a couple that never “got it”
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
This is why a Bogut trade might make sense
How about Bogut and Brockman for Hawes, Turner and Philly’s 1st next year. Philly would be top 4 in the East probably so the pick wouldn’t be great but maybe Turner would find himself on a team that was a definite non-contender. Not sure this is enough but then I’m not sure about Bogut’s future either.

Mind you, I took Miami at $2.00 to beat the hawks without realising LeBron was out, so the difference between blindness and stupidity isn’t very far!
TIMING my LIBATION for LATE night MASCORADE...
NIne o’clock tip off throws off the ‘happy hour’ in the Heartland.
And, with discussion on Boguts departure a few ounces of single malt neat are usually in order. In light of the Pink Slip being administered in KINGS-LAND one wonders what thoughts are going through the corpus collusum of a one Scott Skiles? If beginnings are any indication, and they seem to be in CALI, then the Alpha Buck has got to be feeling some dread.
“Winning” will take care of any of those sort-of feelings. So, what-to-you-say.
Lets go out there and win one for the coach? (Sort of incongruent feeling within the NBA context ‘winning one for coach’)>>>
Skiles openly spoke with the media after the Westphal firing that he knows his job is on the line and the Bucks need to win.
He is feeling the heat. Under current conditions, I would accept improvement.

The great news in the NBA for these coaches is that the league pulls from a pool of like 42 guys that almost always stays the same.
Look at the Kings…fired Westphal and moved on to recently fired GSW head coach Keith Smart. It has always been a mystery why teams always pull from the same bunch of failures instead of trying new names and new guys. Look at how long it took Tom Thibodeau to finally get a crack at being a head coach.
The NBA can be a strange little world sometimes.

I blame Big Crazy Dave for this...
remember this from the first half:
I can see a lot of minutes…
…for Hobson & Brockman in the 4th Q if this continues
We can’t have any comments like that anymore, optimism is hereby banned under the Bucks can prove they can put away a team in the 2nd half.
snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
is way more painful than losing by 20 points straight up.
Basketball is so mental
When the zombie started crawling out of the grave, I kept denying it. Kept telling myself that just because the Kings were closing the gap didn’t mean the Bucks had to lose. That one team would play pretty well at the end, and it could easily be the Bucks, esp since Jennings and others were having pretty good games.
But in the last couple minutes I slumped into acceptance. The Kings just needed to keep on doing what they had been doing. The Bucks didn’t know what to do back except flail around with little purpose. Also realized that our giving up copious quantities of offensive rebounds wasn’t just the luck of the cards. It was because none of our bigs could compete. They were weak, or slow.
Then the team went to Gooden, who had played pretty well with the game not on the line. In crunch time, though, the opponent will play some defense. And Gooden going one-on-one will struggle. Did struggle, turned the ball over 2X think. Jennings made a couple key baskets. But did he run a crunch time offense? For the last play, they went to Steven Jackson going one-on-one and taking a low percentage jump shot against good defense. If that’s the best shot we can get, then we won’t be winning many of those close games.
I thought our players walked off the court knowing and feeling how inadequate they had been. It wasn’t a matter of who was missing in the lineup. It was a matter of both not knowing what they wanted to do, and not having the heart to come even close to doing it. The season, even this one, is long. The ending is not written. But this is not a team of over-achievers. It’s a group of guys who are, more or less, willing to play team ball, but don’t know how. And because teamwork does not make each of them better, they are guys who can’t meet the challenge.
