Mister Slim Says: Are ya' ready for a tank-off?

Kings, having set a new Sacramento-era record for futility, now head to the only location in the NBA that has been friendlier than the Eagle: Kings have won 9 of their last 10 and 11 of their last 13 games against Utah, who are apparently getting away with sitting Keyonte George, and almost got away with sitting Lauri Markkanen, too. Frankly, I am expecting a truly offensive and flagrant amount of "gamesmanship" to happen tonight.

Give New Orleans their name back, damn it!

(Keep) Playing the kids.

Put those injuries together and you've got nearly an entire person! (Give or take an ankle)

Having been born in South Africa, this was one of the easier polls for me to respond to...

Yeah, but he would look like the patient on the operation game board

 

[Tetsujin]

Feels like a no brainer poll. Without Straight Up hitting number one, we’d never have gotten American Idol!

Fixed it for you...

 

[SacTownKid]

Watch the Kings end up being the team to get punished for tanking when they did kind of hold out strong for awhile, lol. Hopefully how crappy the team was regardless saves them, haha.

 

[KingsRUs]

Interested to see the team without Russ..

There was a reason we targeted PG this last summer and I think Carter is more a SG (in addition to Monks struggles post fox). Russ may or may not be a winning player at this juncture but is more a traditional quarterback

Could be a tank wrinkle if the kids cant run the team (and begin to “load manage Russ)

Might be a good time to try out Vivek’s 4 on 5 defense - and cherry pick our way to the top!

Thought Carter looked improved as a point last game. Would be good to see more.

 

[SCKingsfan]

I worry with Russ not there to brick all the late 4th quarter perimeter shots, we might end up woss-ing it

I know, who would have thought that a player could improve and show more, if they were given consistent significant playing time....and that they don't magically develop on the bench. Revolutionary

 

[Caccia]

Time to put this ignominious streak to bed. Then call it a week.

Wonder at this point how many feel as you do? That might be a more interesting poll @Mr. S£im Citrus

 

[Spike]

IDK. The Jazz are intentionally flaunting the flaws in the system and are doing everything in their power to blatantly throw games.

I'm ok with the Kings losing this one. A win just rewards the Jazz for their cheating ways.

 

[Jkbiker]

I read that they sat both Laurie and Jackson entire 4th qtr to loose last two games

They won against Miami which makes this game more critical for them.

 

[Npliam]

Go Kings!! Beat the JAZZ!!!

 

[Sluggah]

prefer to lose out of spite for Ainge, but will never be mad at a win due to the kids showing out.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Go Kings!! Beat the JAZZ!!!

Welcome back, interloper!

 

[Npliam]

Welcome back, interloper!

I have been called worse!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Devin Starter

 

[Caccia]

Carter gets the start. That's a shock.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Carter is fully capable of making shots when in rhythm, but he's got to speed up that release. Arc is looking much better

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Achiuwa has proven himself a better ball handler than I had assumed

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Collier can’t be that fast

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Keep gettin' them checks, Kevin Love!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Ainge is going tell Hardy to put the mop kid in the game, at this rate.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

...and they complained we weren't tanking hard enough.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

well, this is a full fledged war rig
