I’ll say that I am happy we didn’t trade for Kuminga. Just not a fan. Nique is just going to be better

That was pretty fun and you can at least see what Perry was talking about with Dennis and Russ.

Sure but we also got big minutes from the young guys tonight and got to see Buddy Hield get absolutely trucked by a 40 year old man so it’s really hard to complain.

There was some INSANE defense in this game, but I'm still getting used to the Christie era where that defense is coming from the KINGS...
I turned the game on and we were losing by 100 so I kinda started nodding off with it on and in my dreams we came back and were leading for a while.
Pretty frickin cool. When I was alert I saw a few nice plays from Nique and Precious, and then Russ was key. Now Nique is being interviewed and talking about how nice it is to play with Russ. I mean, maybe there is something to this... IF Nique develops and we don't stray too far from the lottery and building long term, because I still don't see this roster as constructed for more than getting lucky and reaching the second round in a fluke year.

Idc what anyone says, for this team to keep fighting through consistently missing two rotation players since the season started and now three starters out - i’m impressed. I know Nique will rightfully play, but i hope Max earned himself more time tonight. Makes the win so much sweeter knowing that we probably don’t win this without them.

As if we had a full roster available ourselves. Come on now. We’re just as decimated

The Kings are incorporating guys fresh off of the STREET that have never played with this group a day in their lives. Sorry, no one can diminish this win in my eyes. When we lose this type of game, folks act like the sky is falling but we win and now it’s “eh, all of their starters were out blah blah”. I don’t wanna hear it lol
This game shows us that the depth on this squad is probably it's biggest strength. Next up is OKC coming off of their first loss of the season though. That one could get ugly. But congrats to Mr. Triple Double for notching the 204th (!!) of his career on the same court where the original Mr. Triple Double, Oscar Robertson, plied his trade. (Note: Do not look this one up)

The same court?

The KINGS were w/o Sabonis, LaVine, and Keegan — doesn’t that qualify as their B-Squad too?
It goes both ways, doesn’t it?

I’m not sure Kuminga’s heart is 100% into it, considering everything that went on this offseason. That does matter a bit.
Playing for a team and coach that believes in the player could change some things, as could his potential fit with this KINGS team. Who knows.

Very true and it is early in his career, but, some things you either have or don't and the mistakes he makes would drive me insane. I'd still be willing to endure that of course but man he was awful in the 2nd half of this one. Moody scares me far more than Kuminga when we play this team

Demar just doesn’t fit. I feel bad for him. But the way Russ plays gets everyone involved.
