Mister Slim Says: Twelve more games of this.

San Antonio delivered BTA to Sacramento Tuesday night, leaving the Kings looking to bounce back tonight against the 76ers. Philadelphia will be without Tyrese Maxey and Paul George, but could possibly see the return of Joel Embiid. Meanwhile DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook continue to climb the all-time leaderboards, which will surely comfort Kings Fans when they are inducted into the Hall of Fame wearing another team's jersey.

Keep playing the kids.

Will the Kings even have enough players to field a team? If not, the game is forfeit. That might make some people very happy, unless they had tickets for tonight.

Would be hilarious if the kings forfeit tonight, cause i finally accepted free tickets. Free tickets and free beer.

I'm guessing we'll see some faces from Stockton?

 

[Caccia]

Monk is off the injured list, but Clifford is out, so the players available are:

Raynaud, Achiuwa, Cardwell, Plowden, DeRozan, Monk, McDermott, Westbrook, Hayes.

That leaves out anyone from Stockton, like Baldwin. I feel sorry for Devin Carter, who has been denied a real opportunity to shine on this miserable team. He was just starting to shake off the rust.

Got to give this poll to Bob Dylan.

I’m a little surprised by the extent of the 76ers injury report. They are currently in 9th place in an incredibly tight race so nothing to lose for. Maybe legit injuries do exist.

Embiid's career reads like an emergency room log book.

Kings Fans are so inured to shenanigans that they can't imagine teams putting players on their injured list because they're actually hurt.

I didn't realize Michael Jackson made great music until that unforgettable day his art was recognized by the R&RHoF.
