I can see us winning 3 out of the next 5 games to bring us up to 13-10. Since we seem to have chemistry now DON'T MESS IT UP WITH TRADES PLEASE! Give it a year to see who gels the most then build around that (even if it's 8 players who play well together). Keep the people that gel and build around them.
Donovan is really freaking good but his huge outburst in the second half reminded me of that time where Reke absolutely blasted the Spurs in the fourth quarter to bring us back from twenty points down and we still lost by a bunch.
The refs have become a significant problem for us. They aren't calling it fairly most of the time but tonight was exceptional. They absolutely swallowed their whistles to our detriment and let Rudy Gobert hold our players at least 10 times and let him get away with such obvious moving screens that a blind man could see it.
If I'm the Kings I'm sending video evidence to the league office. Horrible officiating and incredibly one sided.

I realize that's a joke but a foul is a foul. I'm pissed off that they can't just call it evenly. Rudy Gobert gets away with too much. You can't use your hands when setting a pick and you certainly can't spin in place 12 times during the same pick and then take 4 steps while still holding up our player. **** that. He did it like 3 times while the cameras were on him God knows how often he actually did it.
De'Aaron Fox's gains in terms of vision and playmaking are much more impressive to me than his uptick in scoring and FT rate.
I always thought he could be a 20+ ppg lead guard. I did NOT expect him to be able to run a team at an elite level, but that's exactly what he's doing.
This reminded me how much I used to enjoy seeing all of the Kings starters and a couple of bench players score in double digits. It's really been a while.
edit: Damn, Optimus beat me to it. Needed to be said, though!
He may not be present, but there's no way a basketball junkie like him is not aware of what's happening. Hopefully he can swallow his pride and come back, he deserves this as much as anyone else here.
This is going to make the Warriors game crazy fun. They're having trouble with OKC as we speak. They could have 7 losses or more going into game against us.

Bogi wasn't having the greatest game but he hit huge shots down the stretch and is a godsend as a secondary playmaker. Provides a great dichotomy to Fox's manic speed with his more slower paced, cerebral decision making.
