inexplicably still in the thick of things because everything about 2020 is broken.

Despite the last two games, I have two words for you: GO KINGS

Even if the odds are not great, at least the game is still meaningful

Soooo, we still have a chance??? Yessss!

Curry is out, no revenge game.

JJ goes off?

Vegas has Dallas favored by 5.5 to 6

How the hell do you finally change the starting lineup but still somehow go with the one option that makes the spacing for De’Aaron even worse than it was????

 

[SacTownKid]

I expect major effort to start this one.

At the very least, I expect our guys to not get pinned on pick and rolls every other possession in the first quarter.

was looking at Fox’s best on court paring on basketball reference the other day, and for this season it’s with Joseph, for what it’s worth.

second best is Ariza, so might not be worth much

Did we think we'd see the day that 2 PG was a wish on a star compared to a big lineup? Haha. Long term both have proven to be losers but it's literally gotten this bad.

Well hopefully Joseph annoys Luka and gets him to commit a cheap foul or two early. He'll have trouble dribbling around at least with Cojo on him.

If they think Joseph is the key they better be right. Long term we've seen two PG lineups with Fox fail already. Small ball according to every off/def rating advanced stat is the common denominator.

I'm guessing it's because Corey is such a bad player with the ball in his hands that it actually forces Swipa to get more aggressive on offense.

Barnes at PF is the right call, but no Baz or Hield at SG?

 

[Tetsujin]

The Scott Moak intros sound really weird over the fake crowd noise instead of actual Kings fans

 

[SacTownKid]

Joseph guarded Doncic well before right? Maybe that's it. Although scoring has been the biggest problem for Walton early.

When the whole house is on fire, may as well start trying to fix things by shutting off the gas.

 

[Tetsujin]

Len apparently active tonight which may help the interior defense

 

[SacTownKid]

In the post two shots to Doncic on CoJo. Hey Walton, ever feel like you're being picked on? lol.

 

[Tetsujin]

3-and-D! Whodathunk

 

[Tetsujin]

Poor JJ Barrea already getting absolutely slaughtered by Fox.

 

[SacTownKid]

I think we've figured out the answer! Fox becomes Steph Curry! haha.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Bombs away + Luka got hit in the nutz!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Pretty sure if we score three points every possession we're going to win this game.

 

[Joshoua]

Let’s go I’ve been begging and praying to see Barnes at PF there’s no reason not too when nobody else plays real PFs

Steph Curry but also the most athletic player in the league? I'll take it!

 

[Volblorx8634]

I'm worried about Buddy being the only "ball handler" off our bench. I anticipate they'll run Buddy and Giles together because of Giles' passing ability.

Really at this point unless it's the Lakers or Bucks or Sixers, there's really no need to play a traditional PF in the starting lineup anymore.

 

[gunks]

Let's go Kings! Still in the hunt!

 

[Tetsujin]

How do we still not know how to defend off of picks?
