The Jazz have started the season 0-3, including 0-2 at home. They lost a tight game to the Grizzlies to start the season, were blown out by the Warriors and then were fairly competitive against the Mavericks in Dallas.

Given the way the Kings have struggled with size and the matchup issues we saw in the preseason, this may be a tough game.

On the upside, Huerter looks to be rounding into shape, the offense is getting better and better at integrating DeRozan, and the Kings are hitting their free throws in these first few games.

I'm saying 119-110 Kings.

Also, best wishes for a speedy recovery to Taylor Hendricks who suffered a nasty leg break on Monday and is expected to miss the rest of the season.

This is the test. The Kings size issue is at C. Domas is what he is. Now we see if Brown changes up that defense on Kessler. Last time they stuck to him like glue fearing the lob and it left the Kings wide open on the outside. Don't want to see more of what the Lakers did getting a head start into the defense every play.

To be fair, last time Mike Brown didn’t bother calling plays/used the same exact play two straight possessions at the end of the game. Also after three games, it’s pretty damn clear that Demar was absolutely sandbagging his way through the preseason haha

Yeah, no doubt, but defensively they certainly had a strategy though and that was to disallow the size from getting behind the last line of defense at the rim. That could lead the Kings perimeter defenders back to being attacked off the dribble like the Lakers did to them.

In Domas I trust.
Fox can go bananas. Just stay healthy, OK? :)
DDR - solid. Very.
Keegan? Silent killer ;)
Huerter... just don't hurt my feelings. You are good, so stay that way :)
I hoped after Monk resigned he would start - that was not in the cards.
Domas&Huerter, Domas&Monk feel each others game, pleasure to watch. Fox, DDR, Keegan can make something out of nothing.
McBuckets had his best couple years when he was with the Domas on the court in Indiana. MB couldn't integrate Sasha last year, well, same bleep can happen with the Doug this season.
I have no trust in Mike Brown. Though hope dies last.
Kings better win this one. Otherwise this board will have like 10+ depressed pages soaked in misery, doom and what's not.
Kings 118 - Utah 110.

The Jazz aren’t missing often but when they DO miss, they miss so badly that the ball more often than not caroms off the rim right into another Jazz player’s hands.

OK was going to jump on here to find out why my granddaughter can’t watch it on YouTube and if someone could guide me to tell her what to do we’re not sure what you’re talking about when you say California plus?
