Rajon Rondo and Darren Collison are starting in the backcourt tonight for the Kings. Cauley-Stein and Cousins down low. SF is question mark.

I do think we need to see this pairing and how it works.
I don't think we can start it during the regular season obviously, since 1 of them is our backup PG and defense becomes difficult. But especially if Ben is not going to come around, as I mentioned in the other thread I think we can at least take some of the pressure off that position if Rondo/DC can play together for 10-15 min a night. Then if Beli gives us 24 solid minutes there, we only have a small gap to make up. Still just be surviving, but at least it won't be a hole sucking us down.
Note BTW, something I mentioned last year is that Collison's 3pt comfort zone is as a corner 3pt shooter, not one up top. Also note that George Karl loves the corner three. But a corner three is an awkward weapon for a PG to have because he's not normally going to be stuck over there, and if he is, he's not going to be able to get back on defense on the break. But now put Collison at SG...and that's exactly how we found out Collison's comfort in the spot in the first place. He played SG next to CP3, went to the corners, let CP3 set him up, and drained those corner threes at better than a 40% clip. Rondo is that same level of facilitator.

Lillard (ankle) will not play tonight vs. Kings, CJ McCollum will start at point and Allen Crabbe will start at shooting guard.
Edit: Moe Harkless (concussion) is also out tonight.
Go Kings!!!

Is it on league pass? I don't see it.
What is the point of anyone buying league pass if you can't watch the game? I regret my decision already. 4 games played in preseason, 2 of which I was unable to watch using LP.
I should have done research on NBA league pass before I bought it. Silly me, I thought you could watch all the games, like it's advertised. Should have known better.
