Mister Slim Says: No write up, it's been a long day.

 

[Kingster]

The Dallas game was a homage to selfish greedy iso-jacking and dribble, dribble, dribbling. It would be nice to see the Kings at least try to play the right way in this game.

 

[gunks]

Gonna tune in as this is a game I want to see us win!

I'll likely regret the decision

[Capt. Factorial]

90% of his shots from three? More like Quinten Wing, amirite?

 

[Sluggah]

Obligatory Warriors game complaint about how unbearable their play-by-play guy is.

 

[Tetsujin]

Zach Lavine got Mikki Moore hands lmao

 

[HndsmCelt]

I’m normally in favor of starting Keon, but I don’t like the small ball lineup this batch creates.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

And here I had myself convinced that a lineup featuring Westbrook, LaVine and DeRozan all on the floor together was going to be solid defensively.

 

[Sluggah]

Hoping for some Cardwell on Draymond action tonight.

 

[Tetsujin]

at least Max continues to look like a stud

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

About to give the whole nut right back...

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon missed his forearm by thiiiiiiiiis much

 

[Tetsujin]

Malik showcase game lmao

 

[HndsmCelt]

Monk siding trade talk must have died down

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

When you start getting DNP-Sciatica, it's time to retire.

 

[Jdbraver137]

So now we play monk? It’s like when the media asks they play a guy more. Is the media coaching the team now?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Cardwell continues to be fun to watch

 

[Jdbraver137]

Nique is not good. And that is bad because he is an older rookie

 

[Tetsujin]

Cardwell just a defensive beast. Glad that he appears to have finally overtaken Eubanks in the rotation.

 

[HndsmCelt]

This is fun

 

[Jdbraver137]

Man monk would look great running th PnR with Cardwell

 

[Tetsujin]

This Warriors team is somehow smaller than a Kings unit playing three guards and Deebo at the 4. Surely Kuminga could help them in this regard.

I love Kings fans saying every single bad wing we ever get is going to be the next breakout one we magically find on the scrap heap.

Troy Williams.
Dequan Jeffries
Louis King
KZ Okpala
Kessler Edwards

Who’d I miss?

 

[Sluggah]

what?

 

[Tetsujin]

Draymonds ass just standing on top of Malik for some reason.

Ranadive should "crowd source" the local fan forums by vote, for draft and lineups

Royce White

 

[Sluggah]

Scrubbing that possession from my memory

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Playing the Whisper song at what is ostensibly a family event is certainly a choice.
