Mister Slim Says: Welcome back, Bill Kennedy!














... KENNEDY!


Thirteen more games of this.

Sacramento kicked off a four-game homestand with a win over the "Jazz," and will now attempt to avoid a regular season series sweep against 2x All-Star De'Aaron Fox and the San Antonio Spurs, in a battle of "Who beat the Clippers last?" Spurs are on a major run, and still have their eyes on the number one overall seed so, barring something extremely improbable, this will likely be a Kings loss.

Some disgruntled fans may be watching this with "**** De'Aaron Fox" on their hearts, but I'm taking a different track for this game: **** Luke Kornet!

Keep playing the kids.

Easiest poll yet.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

None of the above really float my boat, so I went with "Damn it, Slim, you left off Billy Corgan (1967)"

I started with 19 birthdays; Billy Corgan was the second name gone.

Game time was moved up 1 hour to 7 pm dst

 

[HndsmCelt]

Had to go with the incomparable Nat King Cole hard to argue with timelessness

 

[pdxKingsFan]

F-bomb the Spurs. All of em. I hope we destroy them tonight.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

really though I hope Kornet slips and breaks a leg. specifically neither his left or right leg.

 

[Caccia]

This game will make just about everyone happy, even Scott Perry, who looks morose as a raisin most of the time.

Someone will say what is lost can never be saved

 

[Warhawk]

Had to go with Gary Sinise for his work for vets, if nothing else. Captain Dan to the rescue!

Gonna be at this one. Excited to see Wemby in person!

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Gonna be at this one. Excited to see Wemby in person!

Sooooooooooooooo, what you're trying to say here is...if we lose, it's all your fault? Gotcha!

 

[Spike]

Despite all of our rage as Kings fans, we are but rats in a cage.

 

[Caccia]

Gonna be at this one. Excited to see Wemby in person!

If you feel moved at the moment, give Mr. Fox a hearty boo.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

They mentioned Fox's offensive numbers being down, he's also posting a career-high AST:TO ratio, while having the second-most efficient shooting season of his career. The only season in which he's ever had a better TS% or a better eFG%, well... he was also an All-Star.

 

[Tetsujin]

Max outjumps Wemby for the tip. Not today Satan

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Spurs are really only vulnerable against a center that can shoot threes. That's not Raynaud right now.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

**** Luke Kornet.

 

[Sluggah]

Too much hair for a hometown hero.

 

[Tetsujin]

Precious randomly turning into Wemby and driving all 94 feet of the court really not something I saw coming from him even as we tank.

 

[Tetsujin]

Much easier to play defense when the refs give you the benefit of the doubt on every single instance of contact.

 

[Sam0ah]

Refs are Reffing so far.....

 

[Tetsujin]

People in the arena to see a generational center from France and also Wemby

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs are Reffing so far.....

No, I’m sure Max meant to miss the basket by two feet.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What happened to the broadcast?

 

[Tetsujin]

Spurs literally cannot miss from three haha

 

[Sluggah]

Spurs just not going to miss I guess

 

[Tetsujin]

Deebo doing everything he can to tank command tonight.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Somebody switch out Jonesy's catchphrases with last year's editions?
