Sacramento Kings Thoughts

1. Congratulations to the Sacramento Kings on their 4-1 start. I hope they can keep this up. DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay are both top 10 in scoring right now.  If you don't believe me go to www.nba.com and check out the stats.
2. For the first time since 2001-2002 the Kings are 4-1
3. The Sacramento Kings haven't been to the postseason since 2007.  Could this be the year they get in the playoffs?  If they can play ,600 ball from here on out, they'll get in.  I'm starting to think this is the surprise team in the West. 
4. As long as Cousins and Gay are scoring,  you have to keep both of them. 
5. Carl Landry impressive with his 18 points off the bench.  I feel that he is one of the best power forwards on this team.  
6. The Darren Collison pickup surprised me.  He is good.  I think he's the best point guard since Isaiah Thomas.  I feel this team is better this year though.  You don't have Isaiah Thomas, Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins trying to get their's.  You can run the offensive through DeMarcus Cousins or Rudy Gay

Denver Nuggets Thoughts

1. I feel a healthy Ty Lawson will help this teams chances to get to the playoffs
2. Denver has a lot of depth on their team, but to me no real all-star ( the closest to me is Ty Lawson)
3. Denver must play better defense,  to give up 131 points is sad
4. Kenneth Faried didn't even crack the top 5 in scoring for the Nuggets.  If you're going to get paid the big bucks you must produce most nights.  I'm sure though this was just a bad night for him
