Mister Slim Says: Well, the good news is the Nets are bad on the road, and their bench is even sorrier than Sacramento's. The bad news is that they're a Top 10 3-point shooting team, according to basketball-reference, and they're getting noted Kings killer Dennis Schröder back from an ankle injury. Also, they're DFL in pace, so expect them to try and drag this s*** into the mud.

This is a "no excuse" game for the Kings; they need this win to stay above .500, and they need to try and put this game away early, to save their legs for Oklahoma City tomorrow. The smart play, in my opinion, is to platoon guys early and often, because the bench isn't likely to get a ton of run against the Thunder.

Oh, and Murray breaking out of his slump would be nice.

Win it and look goof doing it. Gotta start building something and can’t wait for health since that’s not guaranteed. If anyone isn’t playing with grit and decisiveness, sit them and find someone that will

 

[SacTownKid]

Gotta win this one.

 

[megapoxy]

No Schroder for the Nets!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

No Schroder for the Nets!

everyone's nuts are safe!!

 

[captain bill]

Must win tonight. Have a tough schedule against western conference teams coming up. If we lose we could drop pretty far from the playoff picture over the next stretch

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

No Schroder for the Nets!

Huh. He was listed as "probable" when I created this thread.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That call-and-response for Keegan Murray is getting quieter and quieter. Kid is overdue for a bounce back game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I hear you, Jonesy, you ain't slick:

"Welcome to 500... (dramatic pause)... David J. Stern Walk..."

 

[Kingz19]

So nice to see that logo at center court

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Also, before I forget, are Deuce and Morgan calling the Stockton game, or did they just get benched tonight?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Simmons doesn't even look to score, unless he's running at the rim on a break

 

[funkykingston]

Keegan is so good defensively

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

good extra pass by demar to get Murray an open look

 

[Sluggah]

Beautiful play

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Keegan feeling like Don Cherry in that old Skin Bracer commercial.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Just like they drew it up.

 

[Kingz19]

With how things have been going this season I wouldn’t be surprised if Ben Simmons became tonight’s “He’s not known for his three point shooting but..”

 

[iowamcnabb]

not a bad start other than the 300 offensive fouls

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

With how things have been going this season I wouldn’t be surprised if Ben Simmons became tonight’s “He’s not known for his three point shooting but..”

I almost put him in the poll, but then I decided that Mike Brown would be funnier.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Looks like they've got Colby Jones playing ahead of McDermott lately

 

[Sluggah]

Fantastic block by Colby

 

[Kingz19]

Colby Jones early look

 

[iowamcnabb]

It’s easy to forget about Colby but he did show a lot of promise his rookie year.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

It’s easy to forget about Colby but he did show a lot of promise his rookie year.

I thought he had a decent chance to be in the regular rotation. Lets see what he does now, after gaining a rhythm in Stockton again

 

[Kingz19]

Oh no, Not Shake Milton

 

[Sluggah]

Hmmm. Maybe that’s why Sabonis receives so much uncalled abuse

 

[iowamcnabb]

Shooting 70 and 80 percent, down 7 haha

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Timeout for what? Is Jordi challenging the technical, too?

 

[Sluggah]

Fox is insane
