So, in perusing the injury report today (Monday), it appears Skal, Mason, Shumpert and Fox are all game-time decisions. Since they still show Fox with a face injury, I'm pretty sure he's fine.
I would love to see our starting lineup for this game be Fox, Bogs, Jackson, Skal and WCS. Let the kids run. See what happens. After Bogs' performance at the All-Stars, I suspect he's gonna be really pumped to be back on his home court. One nice thing is Kings fans are knowledgeable AND appreciative. I'm confident he's going to get a rousing standing ovation at G1C, which he fully deserves.
For me, the big question mark right now is Shumpert. What role if any is he going to have going forward? I do not want to see him negatively impact the progress of Justin Jackson. I'm also curious to see what they do with Bruno.
I don't like Steven Adams, and I believe he gets away with way too much. I can acknowledge how good a player Russell Westbrook is, but totally dislike watching him play. Pat Patterson will no doubt be one of the two darlings being touted by our august broadcast team, the other being Jerami Grant since the two of them cannot seem to get past the name identification thing. At least with JG out there, maybe they'll step away from the Westbrook altar. (Yeah, I know. Who am I kidding?) Carmelo Anthony? Meh. Paul George? I can't watch him without cringing. His injury was one of the most horrific things I've ever seen on the court and ranks right up there with Gordon Hayward and Shaun Livingston.
When the Kings take the court against OKC, they'll have 25 games left. Of those, 16 are at home. In March, they play 12 at home and only 4 on the road. In April, they play 4 games on the road and then finish the season at home against the Rockets. It seems hard to believe the season is 2/3 over. It's actually gone by faster than I thought. We're headed in the right direction and it feels good.
GO KINGS!
