Bad Loss for the Kings - NBA notes - 03/19/2007

No great action on the court today in the NBA. So I thought I'll start with a funny story. Apparently Tim Duncan is a huge Chicago Bears fan. So soon after the Super Bowl, during one of the Spurs games, Bruce Bowen threw a pretty bad pass at him which Timmy couldn't handle. So Timmy looked at Bruce after the play and said "Nice pass Rex!" in an obvious reference to the Bears beleaguered QB Rex Grossman. That's pretty funny.

The Sacramento Kings are kind of still in the playoff hunt in the West, but they had a bad loss today at Atlanta. The Hawks played without their leader Joe Johnson, but still managed to crush the Kings. The Kings are now 2.5 games behind the 8-Th spot. In the other game, the Hornets blew out the Celtics at home, well, one of their homes - Oklahoma city. Paul Pierce had 28 in the loss.

Sacramento @ Atlanta - 76-99
Boston @ NO/OK Hornets - 88-106

Interesting games on the board for Mar 20-Th (Tuesday)

Minnesota @ Phoenix - Suns have to get out of the 2-game losing streak.

Denver @ New Jersey - Can the rejuvenated Nugget win on the road?

Golden State @ Utah - Utah is struggling and the Warriors are hoping to stay at the 8-Th spot.
