[Game] Kings @ Clippers - Sunday, Jan. 27 - 12:30PT, 3:30ET

[VF21]

I hate Sunday matinees. Really, really hate them.

GO KINGS!!

 

[ockingsfan]

I’m making my annual trek down from Orange County to Staples center tomorrow for the Kings game.

I was there at last year’s game when the Kings came back from like 16 points down in the final 6 minutes to win the game!

I’m hoping for the same Kings magic tomorrow!

GO KINGS!!!

 

[kingsboi]

another early game? make that three now for the season. First two blowouts, I don't see this one being any different. Kings Soul Eater Montrezl Harrell will feast.

 

[Kings_of_California]

To be fair, Montrezl eats a lot of souls.

 

[SLAB]

Willie’s been playing better. Maybe he’ll step up to Montrezl tomorrow.

while that may be the case, his favorite delicacy is Kings purple

 

[gunks]

These Clippers losses have been some of the most annoying this year. Revenge game plz.

 

[Cojc]

We need games like this as with a win today it would put us only one game back of 8th which is where the clippers sit.

 

[kb02]

Simple. Kings win rebounding totals, Kings win. Excited to see Bags/Giles battle Harrell.

Thanks SLAB, I needed a good laugh.

Do you mean playing great as being outrbounded by half the team every night?

 

[ppine]

Harrell is the kind of player the Kings could really use.

GO KINGS!!

I love 'em, especially when there's a live broadcast in Serbia and it's actually a normal time to watch the game

I expect Bogi and Nemanja to be fired up tonight, considering that everyone back home will be watching them, I think only the second time this season.

 

[jcwkings]

I'll be at this game despite my worries about matinee games. Lebron has pretty much priced out the Laker games and the other Clipper game fell on a work night. Hopefully the guys put in a good effort.

 

[Kings_of_California]

I'm worried about Harrell. He's one of my favorite players in the league. His motor is at 200% at all times (basically the total opposite of WCS). The guy plays with hunger. Grabs offensive boards and he's a putback machine. Highly efficient scorer and plays some pretty good D too.

Not to mention, he's only 6'8". Willie and the other bigs need to bring it tonight.

 

[King Baller]

BEAT LA!!!!!

 

[upinsmoke]

I hope the youngsters didn't party as hard as I did last night.

It will be interesting to see the match-ups Dave uses. Last games the Clips went with Boban in the middle who absolutely ignored WCS on offense and just acted like a goal tender on defense. That allowed the Clips defenders to press out on our shooters and funnel them into Boban when our perimeter players tried to drive.

Today would be a good day to see more minutes from Giles and Bagley and let WCS have a rest day.

If only it was simple for the Kings to win rebounding totals!

I like the energy that Bags and Giles bring on the glass, but at this point its more flash than substance. They get to the ball, but they seem to have trouble securing it (of course, Bags still ends up with a lot of boards because he gets to the ball so often). Giles in particular swats away and fumbles a TON of rebounds.

We gotta bring in Reggie Evans as an assistant coach. He could really teach the bigs a lot about grabbing balls. And if there's still time, he can teach them rebounding too!

Hopefully the Kings can get off to a fast start. I know Kings leads are fragile things but they have fallen into early holes in the previous Clippers games and it’s their bench that kills the Kings the most. I don’t want to see them playing from behind and have Harrell break our back with easy baskets and second chance points every single time a run is made.

Clippers are a very tough spot by spot matchup for the Kings. More so than a few teams better than the Clippers

 

[Kingster]

It's a physicallity-gut check for the Kings. It's all about whether the Kings' front court can match the physical play of the Clipps. WCS, Bjelica, JJ, Bagley, Shumpert, Bogs (if he plays the 3) and Giles all have to step up in this game and not back down.

Yes and now that we have Bagley and Giles both up and running that fight is going to look a lot different. Keep in mind we're still only a few games into that experiment.... good game to test it.

If the Kings are going to improve, this is the game to do it. The Clipps and the Kings are in a major struggle for that 8th spot so it has a lot more significance than just another game on the schedule.

Yup. It's a beautiful day for basketball.

 

[SLAB]

Hopefully Giles doesn’t get the squeeze again.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

When was the last time the Kings wore their standard purple unis? I miss them.

 

[Kingz19]

How old is that Values.com commercial with the hockey player singing it’s thirst spider to his daughter. Gotta be atleast 15 years old.

Weezer does that song Koz. Don’t ask Kayte. She doesn’t know anything about music

 

[Kingz19]

They wore them against Portand to close out the last home stand. Which I can’t stand for home games...especially considering the Kings are undefeated at home in standard white

 

[Kingz19]

Looking for that Fox “imprint” early in this one. Alexander has outraced him early in the other meetings

 

[The Hammer]

Watching the Clippers feed today... no joke the Clips announcers are my fave other set of announcers. Bingo bango boingo you gotta admit is a nice signature call.

 

[Kings_of_California]

I'll be honest, I immensely dislike the powder blue unis they wear all the time. Part of the reason I started following the Kings years ago in the first place is because I loved their purple identity. This blue nonsense just doesn't work for me. Need more purple.
