The Kings lineup is going to be thinner than a Sizzler steak. I'm not sure what miracle Dougie may have a big sleeve but I guess it's going to involve lots of defense scrappy play and curious lineup changes... Lol

The Kings went from having too many guards to now probably having to play Davion and Buddy 40 minutes each.

This board is hilarious.

Let's all talk about the Kings having _____ without talking about _____!:D Who is out with _____? How do they test for ____? I don't know. If a player is asymptomatic, but positive with ____ should they be withheld from play? Are these "should" questions of _____ even allowed on this board? It's a value judgment; what can I tell you? I don't know. Is this the new variant of _____ or one or both of the older variants? Is the new variant of _____ more deadly, less deadly, more contagious? I don't know? How does this ______ compare to what we used to know at the flu, given the new variant and that most of the populace has been vaccinated? Should players be withheld from play if they are positive but asymptomatic for the flu? I just don't know.

Honest answer, yes. Nobody should go to work (in any job) if they are known to be carrying a highly transmissible virus. This should be the norm.

Thankfully(?) for fans who want to see their favorite players in action, they currently only test for one of these viruses.

It’s one thing to make a personal choice, it’s another to make a decision that ends up impacting a few hundred thousand fans each night. I don’t know if any league wants to carry the burden of being the center of a massive outbreak at one of their games.
LOL. I thought the fans had to be vaccinated to enter?

Probably important to note that Tyrese was questionable due to a sore back and not COVID protocol so there’s a chance he could play
