^ Lowry dropped a stinker to follow up his ridiculous line last week. I put him on this week’s preview anyway with the caveat that he should be picked up immediately if Aaron Brooks ever goes down.

Massive, huge performance from Lowry today. If only he could do that all the time! Almost certainly got all the PT due to matching up with Dallas’s 3 PG lineup.

Omri started again, put up a good line again. If he keeps doing this he’ll definitely be worth picking up, as it’ll be hard to see him benched again.

Watched a lot of the 4th quarter of the Heat game and D. Wright was quite active. It’s too bad QRich is back because Wright looks like he could develop into a nice multi-cat fantasy player. Still definitely worth an add in deep leagues.

Lou Will participating in full contact practice, and AI’s hurt & getting MRIs.

It is amazing to think of the depth the Kings will have when Garcia and Martin return. They will be deep everywhere, except probably at the five. What a surprising season for the Kings!

Keep an eye on Billups’ MRI results. If he misses a few games Lawson could be a nice plug-in.

Yeah though what worries me with Morrow isn’t so much him, its his team-mates, or rather the style of me-first offense they run with minimal ball movement. When Morrow’s hot, they find him & he runs up a nice score, but usually when he’s cold (or they just forget about him) he barely even gets any shot attempts (eg tonight 1-3 in 32 minutes so far). He’d do brilliantly in a system where he could come off screens, but that’s not going to happen at Golden State.

Omri putting up a nice statline tonight, though inefficient by his standards. Westphal’s a very flexible “go with whatever works” coach, so its hard to say whether Omri’s role as a starter will continue. I guess it might depend on whether the Kings win tonight

I’m gonna hang onto Morrow in the few leagues I’ve got him. He’s such a good shooter that I’m certin this has to be temporary. His efficiency along with those 3’s is just too good to pass for the next flavor of the week.

I love Omri and his ridiculous shooting motion! Not sold standard leagues should be nabbing him as I completely agree Hawes is currently being punished (plus Jamison isn’t a std PF).

I don’t even want to talk about what’s going on in Philly as it makes my blood boil. Just want to say that Brand is not washed up. When EJ took the job he made all sorts of comments on how he was going to make it work with Philly’s $$ man. ARGH – LIAR! EJ’s got only one template and if the pieces don’t fit, it’s ugly.

I’d very much like to see eventual Kings lineups of Evans, Martin, Casspi, Greene, Thompson or (depending on matchups and Hawes’s form) Evans, Martin, Casspi, Thompson, Hawes. Beno’s proving an excellent 6th man, and Garcia’s still to return as well…

Hawes dropped from Kings starting lineup, doesn’t play until 2nd half. Noc moves to PF, Casspi comes in at SF.

Looks like Westphal’s sending Hawes a message, be interesting to see if he continues with that lineup – if so, Casspi would be a wonderful pickup.
