It's dirty AF, real talk.On a personal note, visited NOLA for the first time ever in my 68 years this past summer. Seediest, sketch, dirtiest city I’ve ever been to. I know that it’s known for that but DAAAAMNNNN…..Cafe Dumond was awesome though
Sabonis works hard. Dude really does, every offseason you can tell he isn't just playing basketball, but actually working on things to be a better hooper and teammate. Consummate professionalBtw, it seems it took a year but that shooting coach has certainly helped Sabonis If you ask me. Another 3 and not a single missed FT tonight? Wow
No way this game should have been this close. Pelicans are going to murder the Kings if and when they get back to full strength.
Perhaps not if Monte can pick up some front court reinforcements at or before the trade deadline?
The Kings play the Pelicans 3 more times this season and those games are all crammed into the same week (Feb 8 @ SAC, Feb 12 @ NO, and Feb 13 @ NO) right between the trade deadline (Feb 6) and the All-Star break (Feb 14-19).
Same goes for Pelicans that should be active regarding trades in that period as well but perhaps as "sellers" and not "buyers". It's a wild chance but perhaps a Pelican player of their current roster could be in the Kings roster by then.
I love the way this team spreads the love and good vibes, even better when we're winning of course. We just have to fix whatever it is that gives us the yips or uncertainty in the final quarter of play. No need to stop doing what works just because there are four minutes remaining lol if anything, we need to lean into what works even more, down the stretch.
These days, teams ask for so much in return and many trades will just never get done as a result. 5 first round picks for one player (for example) is insane.I just don’t know who it would be. Herb has one of the best value contracts in the league and is young. Trey is young and signed for a good deal. Unless the kings swing big for Zion or take BI as a rental I don’t see a fit.
Hawks deal would be a bargainThese days, teams ask for so much in return and many trades will just never get done as a result. 5 first round picks for one player (for example) is insane.
I was actually worried about that. All the kings radio talk today was how the Pels suck and have 5 wins. Most failed to mention 4 of their starters had recently returned. We wouldn’t have won if Zion was in but that’s beside the point
We didn't look for Deebo after that Pels timeout. He was mad and ready to put the hurt on them.I’m rewatching the game this morning. I knew Deebo went off but I didn’t realize how much he scored in such a small amount of time. 14 points in two minutes and 14 seconds. 3 threes, AND1, and a 2 pointer with a foot on the line. Crazy.

Kings were 14–12 at this point last year. 13-13 this season is not bad considering the shooting, 3pt defense (which looks better recently) and the injuries earlier
Yeah, the Kings have been hammered by injuries (maybe not as much as the Pels, who I’m assuming are always injured because their players are always clobbering each other at practice, or the Sixers, who might just be stealth tanking at this point) while trying to incorporate a third star into the system and having had most of the rotation out for most of training camp. Now that they’re all rounding back into shape things don’t quite look as bad.Kings were 14–12 at this point last year. 13-13 this season is not bad considering the shooting, 3pt defense (which looks better recently) and the injuries earlier
