One of those nights I really, really hate that I have to teach a class. I usually wait until I can watch the game to find out who won, but I am not sure I have that kind of self control with this one.
 
I'm not so sure AD gets a suspension for last night's push. Seemed like the other guy flopped a bit. Not going to be mad if he is out though.

And a superstar Reeves statline.

Whats the over/under on FT disparity? I'll say LA +9

That's seems overly optimistic, actually+9 is probably ( not sure, just going by eye test) lower then what Lakers average per game.If it's under 10 ft , Kings will be fine

Haha same. My second favorite team in the NBA used to be whoever was playing Lakers on a given night. Now it's like, whatever....

All my hatred is reserved for GS now.

That being said.... Beat LA!!!!

I'm still pretty upset that the Lakers got bailed out by Danny Ainge before last season's trade deadline. When a Celtics legend is gift wrapping the Lakers' playoff entry on a silver platter, you know that things are just always going to tilt in LA's favor. I hate that. From the front office on down, it has rarely seemed like the Lakers needed to work even half as hard as other franchises in order to succeed.

I've got no love for the current iteration of the Warriors, but at least that's a franchise that had to build their dynasty from the ground up. Through a CBA wrinkle, they lucked into Kevin Durant for a short while, of course. But by and large, their success has pivoted on their ability to construct a winner around a core of Curry/Klay/Draymond. And after the sun sets on Stephen Curry's career, there's not going to be any lifeboat awaiting the Warriors. They're going to have to be smart, draft well, and work hard to rebuild.

But the Lakers? I wouldn't be surprised at all if they're able to find success even after Lebron retires. One superstar or another will want to sign there, and they'll find a way to create the cap space to get it done. Some GM will bail them out, the way they so often do.

This is all a long-winded way of saying... BEAT LA. I may not have animosity towards the Lakers the way I did 20 (!!) years ago, but I still hate that franchise and I will always delight in the schadenfreude when things don't go their way, especially since it's just so rare that things don't go the Lakers' way.
 
Both coming off a three game win streak. Lakers coming off a relatively easy back to back. Find a way to win, they can't guard Fox. Push the pace on those old legs, hoping to see some classic LeBron sulk tonight.

Can't argue here as far as franchise entitlement/privilege goes. Lakers fans probably already arguing over Luka vs Wemby for their next poached star.

But GS is just sooooooooo unlikable. Curry is an ***. Klay is an ***. Kerr is an ***. Their announcers are a couple of *****. Draymond is a **** of **** that needs his *** ****** by a ******* until ***** out of ***** ******* ******. Oh, and their (new) fans suck.

I hate them and want it to be the Kings who stomp the life out of that dynasty.

Lebron and AD both GTD. Kings now -1.5 favorites.

This actually scares me. I’d rather see both of them play. For some reason I remember Christian Wood always having good games against us, not to mention it would give DLo the green light to shoot at will and he always seems to cook us.

I still remember where I was when he hit that shot - my sister's college graduation lunch. Unfortunately the game was reaching it's Zenith as we were finishing, and some of us left the table to go over the the bar to watch the final few minutes, including my grandfather - lifetime season ticket holder. Crazy times.

I, too, remember where I was when he hit that shot. I never sat back down after that shot went in. Neither did the other 17,300+ fans in attendance that night...:p:p:p

I don't think I will ever forget where I was when he hit that shot. Even if the rest of my memory escapes me as I continue to age, I don't think I will EVER forget that moment.
