Mister Slim Says: Sacramento has reached the halfway point in their season, and currently holds the third-worst record in the league, Riding the wave of back-to-back wins they get ready to play the Knicks, who are playing their third game of a four-game western conference road trip. For all their talent, New York is very beatable, though, because their best player is very small, and their second-best player is very soft. On paper this is a game that the Knicks should win handily, but who knows?

Sacramento just won two in a row, so I should be willing to let the pro-tankers have this one but, I'm sorry, I can't abide anything good in life ever happening to Karl-Anthony Towns, so I guess I'm rooting for a Kings winning streak.

Actionnn Jaaaackssonnn!

 

[Tetsujin]

how long is Mike Brown’s standing O gonna be?

 

[dude12]

how long is Mike Brown’s standing O gonna be?

Should be a solid ovation I would hope.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I love Carl but Tutti Frutti? That's god tier.

 

[Elektrik]

how long is Mike Brown’s standing O gonna be?

It better be long, and there better not be any boos

 

[GWD]

It better be long, and there better not be any boos

That should have been the theme of the poll question.

 

[gunks]

Mike had his faults, but him getting fired because Fox decided to be a sullen little ***** and play like trash always struck me as a raw deal.

Hopefully he gets some love from the crowd tonight.

 

[Caccia]

This could be the last game in a Kings uniform for no. 0. I'd like to see a solid win.

 

[SacTownKid]

Another one of those "get up" games. The Kings have been on edge with escape for some lucky souls on the roster potentially coming. Much like the Rockets and Lakers the Knicks have all been stumbling lately as well so watch out!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Sounds like Jonesy's voice on the call for this Cavs/Sixers game, so it looks like we get Draper tonight.

 

[Sluggah]

Sound is wack

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Sound is wack

Kayte is broadcasting from inside a tin can. New gimmick.

 

[Elektrik]

Sound is wack

Katie’s Mike is jacked

 

[dude12]

Was there an ovation or anything? I didn’t hear or see any of the announcers address it.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Killing her sounds a little extreme!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Also, the non-broadcast commentary is coming through.

"We had to kill her"

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

She's alive! It's a miracle!

 

[Sluggah]

Rollercoaster

 

[Elektrik]

Scot Foster is reffing this game. Don’t see us winning. He hates the Kings

 

[dude12]

Ref audio sucked too

 

[Light it up]

My precious!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

He'd better have tithed to George before the game started.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Tragic Bronson alert!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Seriously, though, Ice is gonna file a C&D if Precious doesn't pay him his royalties.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Trade everyone and build around Precious

 

[Tetsujin]

Precious having what can best be described as a Tony Delk night.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Tragic Bronson alert!

Or Action Munchkin

 

[Caccia]

The Kings kept doubling the score on New York. I could get used to this.
