Mister Slim Says: After all the hand-wringing about their four-game winning streak, the Kings are back in the bottom three in the league, and only half a game up on last place. Tonight they head into Philadelphia for game four of a six-game road trip. While the 76ers continue to be a profound disappointment in terms of expectations, they are still formidable when healthy, and their trio of Embiid, George and Maxey are all expected to be available. Meanwhile, Sacramento should get LaVine back, but may be without Russell Westbrook, who appears to be dealing with some sort of foot issue. It is nonetheless a damning indictment of the Sixers, in this writer's opinion, that ESPN's Matchup Predictor is only giving them a 73.2 percent chance of victory.

Play the kids.

Plenty of things I love in the poll...Coca-Cola, Dr Strangelove, Down Under...but I think the first gas-powered auto is going to have to be it. Moving technology forward FTW!
 
With Westbrook out, Schröder gets the start. Nique Clifford is really getting the first-round treatment, unlike Devin Carter. I wonder if Carter has gotten the label "uncoachable" because the coaches wanted to change his game, the way he has always played, and he resisted? As the son of an NBA player and assistant coach, he should have a good idea what he is doing.

Has there been any leak or rumors about this? Not that I've heard
 
That was a waste of a challenge, even if it works out in Sacramento's favor: you should only even consider burning a challenge in the first quarter to save a foul. Challenging over possession in a 5-point game?

He also kept trying to back down Domas when the one undeniable defensive trait about Sabonis is he’s strong as hell and has a low center of gravity. Feel like Embiid is taking a half day.

Somebody ****ed up the scouting report: trying to back down Sabonis, and trying to take Cardwell off the dribble. Got it exactly backwards.

or in the first half - in the playoffs not even in the first three quarters. "risk vs reward" (empty stats for the coach)
