(I can't contain my excitement, especially after the previous win against the Knickerbockers. As is always the case, @Tetsujin , I understand that this is your domain, so please feel free to delete if needed.)

THE Sacramento Kings are 39-26 right now. The last time we won 39 games (and the ONLY other time during this current playoff drought), we also lost 43 of them. Dave Joerger was our head coach. And we drafted that one kid from Duke. Fast forward a couple of years later...Mike Brown is our head coach. And we drafted that one kid from Iowa (totally saying his name using my absolute best Scott Moak voice).

The Suns recently acquired that one guy who played college ball at Texas. He is not going to be playing tonight.

Which means ONLY one thing, Kings Fam Bam...

With Kevin Durant out tonight, the Kings can concentrate more on stopping Devin Booker. Easier said than done. He has scored at least 35 points in each of the last four games.

Not a big fan of the concept of the "must win game". After all it's a season. No one game is any more important than any other game in the final tally wins and losses, however if the Kings went to hold on to the number two spot keeping the Dun's out and trying to split the series is crucial. And quite frankly if we can't perhaps the Kings aren't the second best team in the West. That being said if we bring our A game the suns are smoked.

Let's stop the other team from grabbing a billion offense rebounds. That was brutal to watch.

Give Len some mins on Ayton.
Give Kessler some mins on Book.

Len ain't getting any meaningful minutes ever again with this franchise. Nothing against him....but have you seen him play this year?

I'm right there with you! Woke up looking forward to the game tonight!

I'm not even going to wait for the service call. I'm gonna head out in my Beam Lighters R US company van and grab some coffee and a couple bicostti and head down to the arena. Hope boss is ok with this.

Side note: BLRU has become aware of a trend of Residential Vertical Beam Installations (RVBIs) going in on houses across the valley. We may be looking to hire more Beam Activators (BAs). Will post job posting here if boss tells me.

Well, no, and I have watched almost every game this year. He has played a total of 49 minutes. I have very little idea what he can do at this point in his career.

As we used to say back in the Hard Nineties - he's good for six fouls at least. Somebody put a body on somebody!

Unfortunately that doesn't fit with our style of play. You do have to have that deep bench big man though as an insurance policy. Other than that perhaps set up a lunch date with him and Mateen for some advanced towel waving instruction?

Booker has demolished the Kings this season. Mitchell has shown he can't guard Booker because he's too small. I want to see Fox guard Booker. Step up and guard the best player on the opposing team and forcefully impact the game from the opening tip.

Last time we played the Suns was a loss, but still had a chance in the 4th. Our team looked pretty gassed and we were without Monk.
We’re playing even better now (still improving) and we have March Monk playing tonight.

I’m so excited for this game. Unfortunately, had a party scheduled to go to where almost nobody is a sports fan. Damn. Go Kings!

I'm always a big fan of make the rest of the guys beat us theory. Especially now that bad decision making has resulted in what is in my opinion a less deep Suns team.

Oh, and F Chris Ballpuncher Paul, little punk cheapshot artist.

Oh yes. Chris Paul has been most hated player as an opponent for me but I absolutely loved him when he was on
our national team in the Olympics. He is a one Sob nasty talented genious that you can both hate and respect at the same time :) Plus his recent analsys of coach Mike Brown and the impact of proper Coaching was absolutely best!

I already stated how I beleive the KINGS should approach defending Booker. Mix it in here and there, then if proven to be at least bit successful -- pour it on in the final minutes.

I'm a Booker hater, his face just has the most punchable expressions. Hope the beam gets lit right in his eyeball.

From now on, I will consider you my KF brother!

I feel EXACTLY the same way. So does my wife.

The title of most punchable face used to belong to Klay Thompson. But Booker supplanted him quite a while back. But both just invite a punch to the center of the face. Booker is worse because he's much softer than Klay, and not as good of course, and very much pretends to be otherwise.

And very much like the "Bearded Hag" is completely allergic to playing good defense. That's why he's always so fresh on the offensive side of the ball.

BIG, BIG game tonight. Very much looking forward to it. Hopefully our KINGS show up and show out like they've been doing most of this season.

Be careful what you wish for. Booker has a knack for getting a favourable whistle. The last thing the Kings want is Fox sitting early with 2 or 3 quick touch fouls.
