Sabonis tends to struggle against Val's size and strength. We're 0-3 against the Pelicans this season and have lost by a combined 52 points. Including laying an egg in the game that bounced us from the IST. Thankfully this is the last time we see them this year, very much hoping we don't draw them in the playoffs.

Those who imbibe may want a stiff drink handy for this one.

we actually play them again on TNT in April. The IST game gave us an extra game with them, fun!

Because Sunday is a school night?
IS there any additional meaning to school nigh rather then the night before school starts ?
All in all i was joking :) If you come out of Europe you have to sacrifice hour or two of sleep if you want
to follow closely NBA ...
98% of the games are starting between 2 and 5.30 in the morning local time ...

I don't understand the question; the former is pretty much shorthand for the latter.

Parents are less likely to take their families to a game on a school night, because the children have to get for school in the morning. So, schedule games the afternoon. I understand the inconvenience for European fans, and that is unfortunate. I feel similarly when international sporting competitions (World Athletics championships, FINA World Championships, FIBA World Cup, etc.) take place outside of the US. Frankly, I don't think that I have the temperament to follow an entire club league, where all of the matches took place several time zones ahead/behind me.

This pretty much covers the whole question ;) Thanks !
Yeah , Europe and America are like two different planets , and the time difference help that a lot ...
But also the sports - Europe is crazy for Soccer , while you area about American Football ( which i am sure 95% of european does not the rules even), same with basketball , with exeptions like Serbia for example basketball is not that popular here, while there is A THING ...
At the moment i just follow Sacramento , so that is enough for me :) for the rest of the league i will read the opinion of the guys here, there is plenty to be read ;)

P.S.
Are there any news about Lyles , or confirmations of how hard is the injury ?
Saw the clips above , does not seems like he is in pain ?

Very bad statement - please dig more info about basketball in Europe and which countries are basketball countries ...

It’s Serbia , Spain , Greece , Lithuanian , France in that other , but didn’t find necessary to right them all …
Spain might be with better results but as a passion and dedication is definitely Serbian who are taking the lead …

Disagree - Lithuanians I would say are equal with serbians with a passion

Ok guys let’s show them today I mean we’re 0/3 but we’ve been playing good defense and offense minus the damn TO’s and FT’s which I hope they practiced heavily in the last couple practices. I’ve been on the fence with Duarte honestly, but The last couple of games I see he’s coming around. With that being said I hope to see Alex out there today,too. if memory serves me right I believe Alvarado caused havoc but see that he’s not playing today. Zion has been on Hot roll but hopefully he won’t be out there much. But like I said our Kings have been doing pretty good. Love the defense I’ve been seeing with our core. HB has had some good couple of games too(yes I know he’s sporatic) but every point counts towards our win! Again , hope to see our FT with a significant improvement and I’ll see all Kings fans there!
#feel the roar
#sac proud
#hear us roar
#let’s get this win so we can

Looks like Zion is out this game according to espn injury report. Hope the kings don't take the pelicans likely still. They are still a horrible match up for the kings even with zion out.

It's interesting how they don't seem to match well against the Lakers, but the Kings do

The kings need to stay focused on defense, take care of the ball for god's sakes, and help Sabonis out on the boards... Then they should be just fine. Also I hope Alex Lin had his Wheaties this morning, I have a feeling we may need him.
