Man that’s every team. Hell didn’t the jets beat the eagles also ? That 49ers vs Baltimore game will be interesting also, but like I said. I feel like all of this is pre determined lol. You know they want the chiefs in it to get those camera shots and ratings from that singer and Mahomes steps up in the playoffs. So we shall see. I just don’t wanna see the Cowboys or Falcons near the SB.
IST Quarterfinals: New Orleans Pelicans at Sacramento Kings, 12/4/2023, 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern (TNT)

Really really hate this. So why'd we bring him back, if that spot in the offense is just a ghost slot anyway? The whole thesis behind Barnes was he was an elite offensive role player that got to the line at an elite level with great wing spacing. And he's never been a good defender in a Kings uni, but he's always been passable.
That defense is long gone though and I think part of the reason he's disappeared on O is he doesn't have the same juice to attack the basket and get to the FT line. So he's basically a small-ball 4 spacer that can't move his feet on defense. Oof.
he’s not getting stopped in my eyes. He is choosing to pass out. He is so conditioned to take the absolute best and easiest shot. He is the ultimate team player. The problem is we need him to take those shots because he has the size and shooting touch to make that a huge advantage. The question is whether or not he can get over that mental hurdle. If he doesn’t he is more than likely a 15 and 6 guy who plays very good defense. That’s a super valuable player in this league but he can be more than that. Time will tell
You said he looks the same. I said, no he doesn't, and you doubled down with, yes, he does. That doesn't sound like a 'discussion', to me; that's an argument, in my personal record book.
Frankly, the only reason I'm still online is because I'm waiting for @Capt. Factorial or @Warhawk to come back from their coffee break, or wherever they wandered off to.

What I've learned over the last 20 years is that part of being a Kings fan and maintaining your sanity is finding a way to enjoy both wins and losses. That was a fun basketball game. It got a little chippy but no one was out of control. Guys on both sides hit some big shots to give their team a chance. And unlike the playoffs, losing this game doesn't mean our season is over so there is a lot more basketball left to watch. All in all not a bad night I'd say. I'll cheer for Tyrese to take his team to the In-Season tournament Finals and look forward to our next game. Good night!
I actually don't think that's true at all.
The Kings are by far the most unselfish team in the NBA, mainly because of how Domas orchestrates the offense. We pass the ball more than everybody and if a guy has it going, Fox and Domas have no problem stepping out of the way and letting them eat while they got the stroke going.
Role players by nature never get a consistent workload. That's true on every single team in the NBA. But we're just far better at spreading the wealth to them than everyone else is. That's probably a bigger problem where Fox/Domas just need to tell guys to get out of their way and go to work.

there are a few positives to take from this game:
Keon could be that Alvarado type player for us especially with more time. He is a true difference maker on defense.
Sabonis played well against one of the players he sometimes struggles against.
We held Zion in check. You could argue he wasn’t as needed in this one with Inspector Gadget going off but he didn’t dominate.
