Kings:
Dylan Cardwell - OUT (ankle)
De'Andre Hunter - OUT (eye)
Zach LaVine - OUT FOR SEASON (finger)

Curtis Blair (#74 - Crew Chief), Che Flores (#91 - Referee), CJ Washington (#12 - Umpire). Thirty years combined experience.



Mister Slim Says: Twenty-six more games of this.

Good news: Keegan Murray is back, bad news: Cardwell is out. Sabonis and LaVine have been ruled out for the season, which should free up plenty of minutes for the youth, but Westbrook and Monk's returns make the rotations uncertain. Orlando comes into town trying to make the playoffs, so they will be motivated to win against at team that has no such motivation.

(Keep) Playing the kids.

 

[Caccia]

The Magic are barely over .500 this season, and only 416 on the road. Quite a surprise.

Caccia's formula for ending the streak: Start Monk. Win the game.

 

[Sluggah]

Well, since I might not have Smokey without the phonograph…

 

[Warhawk]

While I'm normally all over the historical precedents of Thomas Edison, famous battles, etc., Cherry Coke rules.

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Damn it, Slim, you left out the United States Women's Hockey team winning GOLD in Milano Cortina (2026)!!!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

How long is the beam going to be mandatory past it's expiration date?

 

[Kingz19]

Neat video game feature

Take it off

 

[SufferingKingsFan]

What the hell is this? Are they turning this into a video game?

 

[gunks]

1st option Keegan please!

I'd rather see my guy go 2-16 or whatever than watch Deebo and Russ **** around

 

[HndsmCelt]

Definitely could live without the identification of the guy with the ball by name

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I hate it, thanks!

 

[HndsmCelt]

If the King’s gonna be competitive without Cardwell or Sabonis, everybody’s gotta pick up their rebounding

Umm...that Folsom Lake Ford commerical is NOT using Doug Christie's real voice

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

If the King’s gonna be competitive without Cardwell or Sabonis, everybody’s gotta pick up their rebounding

Getting your third-best rebounder in time to lose your first and second-best rebounders for the season is as KANGZ as it gets.

I mean, Cardwell might be back in time for the last ten games, but who's kidding who?

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Paolo got fts by simply running into a defender and these clowns are worried about tanking

 

[HndsmCelt]

I’m not sure why I’m surprised to see Drew out there, but I honestly thought he had been sent to live on a farm up north

 

[Tetsujin]

Mo Wagner versus Drew Eubanks high post iso possessions. This is what hell looks like.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

**** kinda call is that

 

[Tetsujin]

The refs aren’t very interested in this game either

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The refs aren’t very interested in this game either

Internet was down earlier, so they want to get back to the hotel so they can watch the primetime Olympic recap.

 

[Tetsujin]

Mo Wagner getting reffed like Joker

 

[Tetsujin]

Jonathan Isaac sorta sucks now

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

One good pass deserves another!

 

[Sluggah]

No tank commanders on the floor.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Once again, watching Malik play with the kids it’s like realizing you’re crazy. Uncle is the best scoutmaster you’ve ever seen.

 

[Tetsujin]

No tank commanders on the floor.

Gotta put Russ back in pronto. The Kings are making a run.

 

[Tetsujin]

Max’s feel for the game is so good on both sides of the floor

 

[Tetsujin]

Desmond Bane’s arms are still really short

 

[MizzouKing]

We need a win tonight, for team psyche and to keep Silver off our backs.
