I really expected Mo to drop 20 on us; it was like a classic "former King who could probably really help the team these days" game, like the ones Corliss had in Detroit, Trashbag James had in Seattle and Darius will surely have later this season.

But Mo didn't need to have a big game. Truth be told, I'm kind of surprised the Kings only lost by 11 – with the way Les Pistons were shooting and the fact that it was the vaunted fourth game in five nights for Les Rois. Of course, the spread was 10.5, so I'm sure many people were rooting for a final Ronnie Price runner.

Plenty of time to rest up – the Kings have a few days until Saturday's match with the Spurs sans Balki. I'm guessing they get to revel in everything San Antonio today and practice tomorrow. Texan fathers, keep your daughters within arms reach tonight.

In other news…

We'll be back later with… something.
