OTHER PERSPECTIVES: Cowbell Kingdom, Sactown Royalty
PREVIOUSLY, THE SACRAMENTO KINGS...lost 105-103 at Charlotte on Monday. It was Sacramento's fourth straight loss, the last three coming in the first three games of a six-game road trip against Eastern Conference teams. Sacramento have won just three (@Utah, @Chicago, @Milwaukee) of nineteen road games this season with those three victories coming by a total of 10 points.
Sam Amick of The Sacramento Bee reports (HT: Cowbell Kingdom) that Jon Brockman and Donte Green will replace Spencer Hawes and Omri Casspi in the starting lineup tonight.
Rebounding rates:
| Name | OR% | DR% |
| Hawes | 8.2 | 16.5 |
| Brockman | 21.7 | 20.4 |
Brockman scores almost literally half as often as Hawes but Hawes isn't especially efficient, and, with Kevin Martin back, I suspect that Sacramento can sacrifice Hawes's efforts to put the ball in the basket in exchange for lots and lots of rebounds. As for the other lineup switch, whether it's Green or Casspi on the court, there does not appear to be a King Mike Bibby can reasonably be expected to guard.
The Hawks beat the Kings 113-105 in Sacramento on November 4th.
Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.

bret, I was wondering if you could update the links over there on the right.. I usually use hoopinion as a landing page when I want to read about our hawks, but it's kinda annoying that so many of the links over there are to pages that either don't exist or don't get updated... go hawks.

It's on my to-do list. Could happen as soon as this weekend. It's long overdue. Thanks for the kick in the pants.
Thanks for doing the heavy lifting Bret!
