[Game] 65/82: Kings vs. Bulls 08 MAR 2026, 6pm PT/9pm ET

There’s a small arcade room near my desk at work that has Pac-Man in it, and it’s like a flat little table you sit at. Pretty sweet for my lazy ass. Gets my vote.

 

[Krunker]

Entertaining pace this first half!

 

[Caccia]

Entertaining pace this first half!

Now that you mention it, the Kings have 18 assists on 20 baskets. Eight men have scored, led by Monk (14) and Raynaud (12).

Did the employees get to have any input on which games went in there?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This is the first game missed by DeMar DeRozan since Nov. 29, 2024.

 

[Tetsujin]

I can't understand how Hayes can airball an open floater in the lane and then throw an alley-oop pass from half-court that had a window of about 2 inches.

Hayes is 6’5” French Ben Simmons. Solid defender/glue facilitator but pathologically afraid of making a shot.

 

[Caccia]

Was that Chris Webber they just showed in the stands, clad in blue?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Westbrook's father is Russell Westbrook, Jr.? Is this a Zaphod Beeblebrox situation?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Westbrook's dad.

Ms. Pac Man for sure. Shout out to Paper Boy, Crystal Castles and 1942.

 

[Tetsujin]

don’t know how good Max ends up in the long run but he is apparently good enough to be on pace to drop 20 in a half against a team with literally one big man on their roster.

 

[Caccia]

I cannot remember the last time the Kings had so many dunks and layups in a half. Unfortunately, they all of a sudden started getting sloppy and missing shots at the same time.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm going to need Plowden to channel a little "Gerald Wallace on Boštjan Nachbar" tonight.

 

[SLAB]

Man, I really dig Max. Active and great finesse down low. Fun watching him move around.

 

[Sluggah]

Did the employees get to have any input on which games went in there?

Probably, but predates me. I primarily pop in for Street Fighter II…can’t even recall the other games.

 

[Caccia]

Nice drive and left-handed layup from Daeqwon, plus the free throw.

 

[Caccia]

And now he finishes with his right hand through contact.

 

[Caccia]

Raynaud with 22 points in 23 minutes, with 9 rebounds. Monk with 17 points in 17 minutes, plus 4 assists and a block. Westbrook with 11 assists and a double-double.

 

[Caccia]

They need to double-team Sexton. He is keeping the game within reach for Chicago.

 

[Spike]

I'm liking what I see from the kids.

 

[Spike]

I don't know why we think we needed Shröder. I think I would have been ok with Westbrook, given what he's actually doing for the kids. It's the right mix right now for growth, mentorship, and a high pick.

 

[Spike]

Ms. Pac Man for sure. Shout out to Paper Boy, Crystal Castles and 1942.

Ohh. 1942. Good call.

Maybe it’s because I’m here live but I’m totally cool with this win. Max is a player, Russ annoys the hell out of me, but he’s an ultimate tank leader the kids like playing with. I credit him playing as hard as he does on the worst team in the league. He could so easily be checked so far out of Sacramento at this point.

Somewhere an anonymous burner account gained its wings.

 

[Caccia]

Nice block by Monk on the three-pointer. We need to make a few buckets here.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I have the old Pac Man cocktail table from the Freeport AJ Bumps in my garage. I need to see if I can get it refreshed. It works but definitely has some weird quirks. Also not sure if I have the key for the coin slot and I think when we took it home at some point we flipped the dip switches to give five lives and maybe a few other adjustments in addition to unlimited play.

 

[Jkbiker]

Light the Beam!!!!

 

[Tetsujin]

Aside from Buzelis, who I really like, that Chicago roster is bleak lol. How the hell are the Kings further along the rebuilding process than they are?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Light the Beam… so nice to see a fun game
