55 is a more realistic number. But this season sounds a little familar
like the 2001/02 season when Webber was out for the first two months and
the team ended up with 61 wins.

It is still CWebb's team but Peja is not too far behind. The question will
be during crunchtime, will the rest of the team just stand around when
Chris has the ball in his hands (and force him to take bad shots) or will
they continue to play in their motion offense?

Please, don't fool yourself thinking the Kings are better without CWebb as
the oppositions are outrebounding and outscoring them in the paint. Webber
return will answer some of these two needs but I still think the Kings will
still be outrebounded and outscored in the paint but not as wide of a gap
especially against quality teams.

My guess is that ABC/ESPN/TNT may have some input into the scheduling as
they want as many key match-ups of the Kings/Lakers/Spurs/Mavs on the
national TV after the All-Star break. As far as the lopsided road games at
the end of the season, I guess the people at ARCO arena had to bump the
Kings in favor of Disney On Ice or whatever.
