Mister Slim Says: Sixteen more games of this.

Kings lost (won?) the Tank-Off™ and, the less said about that, the better. Now Sacramento hosts the Charlotte Hornets on the second night of a back-to-back. The Hornets have been the feel-good story of the 2025-26 NBA season and are most definitely going to be playing to win. With their young exciting core, Charlotte will want to engage Sacramento in a track meet, and it seems likely that they will win it. It'll be a refreshing change of pace to see a team of young players who want to win at the Eagle.

None of the veterans played over twenty-five minutes last night, and none of them played in the final 16 minutes of the game. Let's see more of that.

Keep playing the kids.

I hope this forum can soon return to a state in which it allows the posting of images without tripping out.
Today's poll (and my choice) is definitely a GIF-worthy one...:p

Also, this is definitely one of those polls for which I wish we could cast multiple votes :).

Well, I would have worded it "Who is your favorite FICTIONAL mortician," but I ran out of characters: I had to change "and" to "&" just to get all that to fit.

Then again, I would have had to leave Big Syl out, too...

To be honest, without looking I don't know who a single one of the morticians you listed are, at least by name. I suppose that my non-sports TV tastes, which are scant as it is, don't lean towards the genres that feature them. I only know of Tiede because I saw the Linklater film based on his crime within the last month. So he's also my least favorite mortician (that I know by name).

FWIW, I only knew four of them without resorting to Wikipedia, one of whom isn't even fictional, and another whom I'd forgotten the name of. I believe at this point that it's been decades, plural, since Six Feet Under went off the air.
 
Technically, I guess two of them aren't fictional. According to his Wikipedia entry, William Moody, during a time period in which he had taken a hiatus from the wrasslin' business, was an actual mortician in real life.
 
INJURY REPORT:
  • Coby White (calf) has been upgraded to Available for the Hornets.
  • Liam McNeely (ankle), Grant Williams (knee) and Tijane Salaun (calf) have been ruled OUT for the Hornets.
  • Devin Carter (calf), Malik Monk (ankle) and Russell Westbrook (quadriceps) have been ruled OUT for the Kings.

After this discussion I can see why funeral directors and morticians felt like they needed an official day of recognition. Not sure it did them any good, but it was a valiant effort.

If the Kings play on March 11, 2027, I may break out This Date in History instead. I did the research on both, so at least that's work I won't have to do next year.
 
Dang, so our pool of players becomes Derozan, Plowden, Hayes, Precious, Baldwin, Nique, Raynaud, Eubanks, McDermott, and Stevens? I guess hopefully we have the scrappy underdog thing going for us.
 
Big fan of Eric Collins: this may be the first Kings game that I listen to the other broadcast on purpose. Maybe... On the other hand, when's the last time Jonesy called two games in a row?
 
I am unable to watch; it looks like the game is blacked out in North Carolina. At the moment, the Kings are shooting 62%, with a lot of layups and dunks, as happened against Chicago. Charlotte is countering with almost twice as many three-point attempts, 19, making 10 of them.

Do you get FanDuel Southeast? It's only blacked out in the sense that, if you live in NC, you have to watch the game on the local channel.
