Notes:
-No Hawes, Tyreke, Garcia, or Brockman for the Kings. Andy won’t be playing for the Cavs.
-Not having Andy will make things tougher than people realize, but this should be a fairly hitch-free homecoming for Z.
-Open Thread. Chime in about the game and the Z reception/ovation here.

I’m getting sick of watching JJ not box out. When are we going to get our real centers back?
Hickson is still a defensive disaster. Everyone got so caught up on his effort against Duncan a few weeks ago, but it hasn’t carried over. Not only does his 1on1 defense leave a lot to be desired, but like Kevin said, he NEVER BOXES OUT on the defensive end.
Forget to say, I liked the way Mo Williams played..but he needs to take more shots. 6 shots for Mo Williams is not nearly enough. As a matter of fact, our 3 guards combined to take a whopping 17 shots (west, parker, williams). That needs to be at least 10 more.
