Are they really kings or merely princes?Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings have been in the NBA Playoffs every year since head coach Rick Adelman joined the team in 1999. Their hope is to keep that streak alive. Currently in 8th place, and with 2 teams in Utah and New Orleans breathing down their necks, they have their work cut out for them. The loss of key players like Chris Webber and Peja Stojakovic certainly contributed to their problems, but Adelman, being the coach that he is, has steadied the ship, and seems poised to keep his playoff streak going.
Mike Bibby and Brad Miller have done well to maintain their high standard of play and with the addition of Ron Artest, the defense has also improved. Strong supporting roles from Bonzi Wells and Shareef Abdur-Rahim has also helped keep the Kings in contention in the West. They will have their work cut out for them should they qualify for the playoffs with either Dallas or San Antonio awaiting.

Well Ron Artest finally blew up in Sacramento, and he picked a bad time to do so.
Kings' Artest suspended one game for Ginobili blow
QUOTE Ron Artest of the Sacramento Kings was suspended one game without pay for hitting Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs in the head with his forearm.
The suspension was announced Monday by the league. Artest will miss Game 2 of the Western Conference series on Tuesday. He didn't play in the postseason last year after an early season suspension for a brawl in Detroit while playing for Indiana. Source 4j

Artest has quickly become the modern day Dennis Rodman aka the "Bad boy" of the NBA. I don't think Sacramento has a prayer in the first round vs San Antonio, but you better believe the fans will be talking about this suspension long after the playoffs are over.

Wow, this was a shocker to me when I read it today! This is why you play the games. Nothing is a given these days.
Buzzer-beating layup helps Kings sink Spurs 94-93
QUOTE SACRAMENTO (AP) - If Kevin Martin had spared one instant to think about the obstacles in front of him, he would have withered before taking the biggest shot of his NBA career.
Sacramento's skinny shooting guard simply didn't consider Tim Duncan's long arms, the dwindling clock and a potential 0-3 playoff deficit to the defending NBA champions. He just drove to the hoop and somehow scored the basket that saved the Kings.
Martin tossed in a twisting, three-bounce, wrong-handed layup over Duncan as time expired, and the Kings got back into their first-round playoff series against San Antonio with a 94-93 victory in Game 3 Friday night, cutting the Spurs' lead to 2-1 Source 5v

I still believe the Spurs will advance but this makes the series, if anything, a bit more interesting.
