Although teams down 0-2 on their home floor
frequently have no problem reversing the result
of the prior two games, this particular bunch
Sacramento bunch may very well be a candidate
for failure since:
1) They have many different players from the cast
that won a bunch of playoff series the past four
seasons but never got over the hump.
2) The new guys like Cuttino Mobley bring very
little to the defensive effort that is key to playoff
success.
3) Losing the scoring and rebounding of Chris
Webber -- AND the creativity of Vlade around the
hoop -- in the space of one season -- can put
way too much on Mike Bibby's plate.
4) Peja Stojakovich -- who is he really, now?
5) Brad Miller may not be 100% healthy.
6) Seattle can bust open games from the 3-point
line much better than the Kings can, and their
low-profile interior game benefits from the spreading
of the defense that happens when opponents are
forced to guard the perimeter
