Wiz down early

Here's the problem when you are an NBA beat writer who happens to be hundreds of miles away from your team: a cat like DeShawn Stevenson decides to cut his dreads and you aren't there to get the scoop. I mean, that's serious stuff right there. The man grows his hair out for what, five or six years and suddenly decides to go clean in the midst of a Western Conference road trip? Shouldn't I get a memo on this?

Gilbert has that look in his eye. The one he gets when he's locked in and ready to roll. The problem is that D. Way too many easy buckets for the Kings. Good to see Antonio Daniels make a play right there, going to the cup and getting and And 1. He hasn't hit double figures since the game at Chicago.
