(Tetsujin if this is your jam go ahead and delete - but was feeling it so here goes...)

The greatest thing about the expansion of the Roman Empire is that everybody got to eat Italian Food. Think of it as putting an Olive Garden in every town, village, and far away city - except with 100x better quality. It was truly unlimited breadsticks for everyone.

Similarly, the greatest thing about the expansion of the Sacramento Kings Empire into LA - at a time when that colony is weak - is that everyone will get to experience the COOKING of De'Aaron Fox. Not only is he cooking, but the man is eating. Feasting.

Having been previously "rendered argumentless" by @whitechocolate's stellar food related rhetoric after last night's conquest:
Kings have outscored the Blazers by 38 since my ribs, chicken, and waffle fries arrived. A) I always enjoy that order. B) I would not have enjoyed it if the Kings didn't come back and win. C) Therefore the Kings were guaranteed to win. That's just science.

... I felt it necessary to return the favor and render out entire community argumentless and hype us up with the above food related metaphor. You're welcome my beloved friends. Let's go out tonight and deliver UNLIMITED BREADSTICKS to the faltering Clippers colony tonight - with Fox's special recipe. We hungry? Yeah... we hungry.

Let's eat.

But...but the Italian food of the Roman Empire didn't include any tomato-based dishes. I feel it would have been somewhat underwhelming.

De'Aaron Fox is the tomato in my pasta.

Sir, with ALL due respect to your encyclopedic knowledge of everything and especially collective bargaining agreements in the National Basketball Association of America* (no sarcasm), I have it on good authority that Julius Ceasar himself at my nonna's lasagna. These two things cannot be true at once my friend. Let's at least agree on forcefully delivering unlimited breadsticks like an Olive Garden waiter to the conquerable southern colony, shall we? :p

And Canada

I’m still waiting for the game/games where the entire team is firing on all cylinders. Fox is getting his from the mid range, Sabonis is twirling his way to multiple jams, Keegan a dk KVon are bombing away and Barnes is earning multiple trips to the charity stripe. And also defense is being played somewhere in the ballpark of the Dallas game.

The big trade decimated the Clippers' bench, although Kawhi Leonard did not start the last game, coming off the bench himself. A lot will depend on how Monk and Co. perform tonight. Also, Zubac is out, which should give the Kings are rebounding advantage.

You're being sold into slavery. Your husbands are being conscripted, killed, or forced to fight to the death for the entertainment of our citizens. But BREADSTICKS BEACHES!!!!

This merely highlights how delicious Italian Food is. Thank you for the testimony!

We literally conquered the ancient world because people loved my nonna's lasagna. Think about that.

Clips have probably the best bench in the league (Westbrook, Gordon, Powell, Batum and Plumlee).That is a great bench
