Mister Slim Says: Despite having only played thirty-six games, the Kings are in the midst of their third 5+ game losing streak this season, which is probably going over like gangbusters with the people who are just looking at box scores every night. Tonight they have a national TV game against a team they've had success against lately: Sacramento has an active four-game winning streak against the Dallas Mavericks, who is expected to have their full starting lineup, but is severely lacking in depth. The Kings' chances for victory likely lie in their ability to force Dallas to go their bench early.
 
My issue with the poll is that I have a 2-way tie for 3rd. So I just decided to go with my top 2, leaving it up to all of you to decide which 2 are tied for 3rd...:p:p:p
 
Voted in the poll for green beans (steamed, don't overcook), pinto beans (olla, please), and black-eyed peas (should be a year-round treat, what is this New Year's stuff???)
 
Isn't cocoa a bean? Hard to compete with chocolate. Though coffee comes close. Also lentils. Or if I must, I'd go Black Beans (Cuban style) or Red Bean for any number of Japanese desserts of the poll options.

Last I checked... Cocoa and coffee were both left out of the poll because neither one of them crossed my mind, as I'm not particularly a fan of either.

Omitting vanilla bean was an oversight, though.

Reasonable. I'm a relatively recent convert to coffee, so also spent most of my life not drinking it. Can't say the same about chocolate. I'll consume chocolate in pretty much any form (to my detriment, perhaps).
 
Black, red, coffee and refried!

Anyways, I'm feeling a lin tonight!* But we've been losing so much that I won't cry if the gang gets a W.

Hopefully some good games/minutes for the rooks. Extra hopefully we get a Russ/Deebo trade announcement.

*apologies to Slim and all non-tankers

I was looking forward to catching this on NBA TV only to find it's on... Peacock?!? I'm not springing for one more streaming platform

just the way the greedy become greedier at any chance. in the meantime, NBA TV every day replays the best game of the prior night, look into it. Won't be any Kings games but you get to watch some quality basketball in place of putting yourself through misery.
