Way back in 1984 (which also happens to be the year of my birth), the Chicago Bulls introduced to their fine fans, and to basketball fans all over the world, something that would end up becoming a staple during Chicago Bulls home games. Fast forward +/- 10 years later, if an opposing player did not walk into the arena and feel a sense of intimidation as they stood there listening to the likes of Tommy Edwards, Ray Clay, and Steve Scott introducing THE starting five of THE WORLD CHAMPION CHICAGO BULLS.

To this date, I consider the Chicago Bulls player introductions to be the best in the league. I dare someone to challenge me on that claim.

Fast forward many years later, the Bulls still use that same introduction, maybe slightly less intimidating than in years past.

In Sacramento, we have an intimidation factor of our own.

I admire greatly that Sabonis doesn't lose his cool after getting man-handled from the opposition with no whistles from the refs. After reviewing the game again, I just can't believe how he gets pushed, hammered, jumped on, and still no calls from the inept refs. I seriously wouldn't blame him if he goes postal in one of these games. Maybe if he and Brown gets thrown out of the game the league and the refs would wake the F up. It's as if the refs think that this guy is so tough that they don't have to award him with with foul calls when he gets hammered. Essentially, his toughness and silence is being punished by the league. I'm sooo sick of it.

Fox continues to tantalize and tease. Out of the blue he had six steals and 11 deflections against the Pacers, showing what he is capable of if he puts his mind to it. Fox, just give me near half of that (three steals and five deflections) against Chicago and I'll be a happy camper. Come on Fox. You can do it!

I think there must be something going on with him physically or mentally. He seems to be conserving energy for when we really need a win. I don't think it's simply an incapability to focus. I think there's something going on behind the scenes.

It's hard for me to believe that it was a coincidence we saw such a great defensive performance after getting the All Star snub, along with with playing againstHalliburton and previously getting beaten by Indy. Seems more mental than physical, especially when we saw recently after several days of rest he still performed very meh on defense. We rarely see these kind of defensive performances by him, but when we do it's a reminder of how good he can be on defense when he's "right." At this point I'd settle for getting stellar defensive performances from him on 25% of the games. So far this season it's probably been at best 10%.

My message would be to stay hungry. Genuinely hungry! Don't start congratulating yourselves on a successful road trip before it ends. The Kings are good enough to win on back to back nights, and they’re young enough to do it well. Go get this one, Kings! Gonna need Alex Len, gang rebounding and more offense from Keegan tonight, IMO.

That's one of the things that angers me the most. He'd set a freethrow record if he played for the Warriors or Lakers smh

Check out this all star snub poll:

https://basketball.realgm.com/poll/274523/Who-is-the-biggest-All-Star-snub

Keep firing on all cylinders, Fox and Sabonis! This team needs our stars to remain locked in and aggressive as everyone will follow their lead. I want the Kings to keep stringing wins together. Time for more crow eating ;) I think our team enjoys the under the radar, being disrespected and overlooked feeling. "The Scores" era was similar before the Shumpert trade, and last season really proved that, so i actually like the fact that our guys were snubbed. The expectations coming into the season clearly had a weird effect on our squad at times.

Edit: Btw, that scores era is one of the main reasons i'm a little nervous about a potential trade right now. That HB trade was the right move at the time but it absolutely hurt us during that particular season

The BEAN doesn't sound intimidating until you find one, no one dares to challenge your claim. :)

It’s inevitable that I’m going to complain about the refs. I don’t want to complain about the refs and just have the players through it. But the refs make it impossible.

We should probably have a post game award after every game called “Most absurd ref mode call or non-call of the game”
