The “storm of the century,” as it was deemed in Northern California, knocked out my power from 9 a.m. on Friday until noon Sunday. I was forced to listen to two Kings games on a battery-powered radio. Not to mention the fact that I missed ALL FOUR NFL playoff games this weekend. Boo.

The Kings lost two close games that they really should have won to the Cavs and Bulls. At 12-20 the Kings really really really really really really need Martin and Bibby and Artest back if there is a playoff run left in this team. I still like how they’re playing, but they just don’t have enough firepower to win right now without those guys.

Back home for Orlando Tuesday. Who’s gonna guard Dwight Howard? Sigh. He’s a bad, bad man.
