I’m actually impressed with the kings for how they handled this game and overcame the officiating.

This roadtrip in particular has seemed extra lopsided..

FTs last three games
Kings: 52 (Avg. 17/game)
Opponents: 84 (Avg. 28/game)

Even DDR is shooting less FTs in a Kings jersey than he has in previous years and it isn’t for lack of effort trying to draw them.

That is the crap that irritates me about the NBA. Just be consistent on both ends and ignore what names are on the front and back of the jersey.

This is the real reason NBA viewership is dropping. Biased refereeing to keep big market teams in the playoff hunt and to cover betting spreads is an abomination. Inconsistent calls where one side gets called for ticky-tacky fouls and the other side can get away with blatant hacking is an eyesore. I know it is called NBA Entertainment (not Sports) but I really don't see any "entertainment" in unevenly called games.

My wife pointed out to me that Christie walked off the court without shaking hands or any other words with jordi. If he did that against the Knicks or tomorrow against the 76ers that would be a meh from me. But against jordi? What’s going on there?

We don't know very much about Christie's relationship with Jordi when they were both Kings coaches. I don't recall seeing them being buddy-buddy on the bench...or even talking.

We do know that Jordi is a Brown disciple and spoke out about his termination. There was no mention of wishing the best for Christie.

Watched both the Kings and Nets streams and it was Christie that did a head nod to Jordi and walked off. Jordi and all Kings coaching staff hugged and exchanged pleasantries at the end of game. Jordi and Fox hugged too.

Cam Johnson, in street clothes, stood up and clapped at the end. Maybe he's getting ready to move?

I simply do not believe you.

There has never been a documented case of such a person.

There is more evidence for Bigfoot.

The Nets court just has bad lighting and bad/bland colors. I get what they are going for, but it just doesn't work imo. Trying too hard, and they miss on the actual aesthetics.

I am against the greyification of America.

I'll spare you the details, but I got very sick once after eating lasagna and never got over it. Just thinking about it makes me gag a little bit. I do still enjoy most other Italian foods though. Tortellini cooked in homemade tomato sauce with a thin crust of crumbs and cheese baked on top is one of my favorite dishes to make.

I would agree that the gray court with the deliberately uneven staining reads as too busy during the broadcast with the slightly garish overhead lighting situation in that arena, but it looks beautiful in pictures:




...

Plus I like that it's something new. Pretty much everyone else has the same lightly stained hardwood with a contrasting color in the key. Brooklyn is going for more of a street ball aesthetic and as a one-off branding decision, I find it refreshing. :) They should consult with a cinematographer though to get the lighting right for the in-game footage.
