    [Game] 27/82: Kings vs. Nuggets 16 DEC 2024 7pm PT/10pm ET

    Yeah it’s great and he has lots of highlight blocks where he jumps with or slightly before the shooter. Somebody like DeRozen will use that tendancy against him. I watch a lot of Big East basketball. I am just not clear how well his game translates. We will all find out soon enough...

    Good question. I was thinking more having primary responsibility but yeah hard to measure.

    When Do We Blow It Up?

    I buy tickets and attend games. And no I would rather make the second round and be .500 at home though your hypothetical seems unlikely. As for going back to a below a .333 record I would rather have the hope of being a contender at some point than knowing we plan to muddle along forever...

    I’m not sure that is even true. But not sure how to measure it.

    When Do We Blow It Up?

    There are also a bunch of fans who just go to games and would like to experience a 2nd round play-off series. It’s not clear to me this group of players can accomplish it at this point and I realize losing Fox for nothing would set this franchise back a long way. I don’t blow it up now but...

    So you are telling me you think Carter can guard small forwards? Care to put a charity bet on that point?

    [Game] 27/82: Kings vs. Nuggets 16 DEC 2024 7pm PT/10pm ET

    Josh Hart while small for a wing with a 8’ 5” standing reach is still 3 inches more than Carter. Not sure how wanting Hart and feeling the Kings didn’t need yet another guard is somehow incongruous. As for the game last night it was a tough one. Without Trey and Keegan, I thought we were in...

    So I am assuming you are mainland Chinese is that correct. What part of China are you from?

    The best rebound grabber, Keegan Murray

    Curious if batting the ball out counts as a rebound or not? For that matter is it also an assist?

    Yes and no. Not having Val killed them. Roster balances make a difference. New Orleans has a roster balance issue.

    [Game] 26/82: Kings @ Pelicans 12 DEC 2024, 5pm PT/8pm ET

    Yeah I was adamant against Monk in the starting line-up and boy was I wrong. I like Malik at point better than Fox. He just has a knack for getting people the ball where they want it. I like Fox at the two focused on scoring and defense. It makes for a very small back court but so far it...

    Monk as Starter

    I don’t think the Kings are winning because Monk is the best “shooting guard”. I think Monk is the best “point guard” on the team and does a great job of getting people involved. Fox is better as a shooting guard.

    Welcome Devin Carter

    I wonder if we hold him out for the year and let him go through a normal acclimation process with Summer League et al. Jumping in for the back half of the season disrupts rotations and may make for a confidence damaging rough start.

    Welcome Devin Carter

    Haha. Nope. But yes I don’t like the pick at all for the Kings.

    Welcome Devin Carter

    Undersized and can struggle with the 3 ball. Seems like Monte’s type of player.

    Thank you to everyone at Kings tonight

    Prayers for you all.

    I think the ball moves better and Monk gets people involved and easy shots. We need to see if we can keep it up against longer defenders.
