[Game] Kings @ Old Ben Gay Smelling Grandpas -- Jan. 5, 5:30PT/8:30ET

[Merdiesel]

I have a feeling we'll win tonight even shorthanded.

Belinelli is locked in.
DC has been playing good.
DMC is the best player on the floor.

Lets go Sacramento, no excuses. Just compete.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We are one game away from the 8th seed

Only if we win tonight...we're at 1.5 games out right now.

WCS Out
Rondo Doubtful
Casspi Questionable
McLemore Questionable.

My guess is that we see starters of Collison, Bellinelli, Casspi (I think he plays), Gay and Cousins.

And it's next man up time for Curry. He's looked solid in limited minutes. Tonight he should get quite a few and at meaningful times - I hope he has a great game.

 

[lawlman91]

how has mclemore ben?

 

[BamBam52]

Boogie has had lower back troubles. Casspi has upper back problems and now Rondo. That doesn't prove it is overuse or "abusive" use but it sure is something to worry about going forward.

Sleep Train mattresses, for everyone!!!

 

[HndsmCelt]

This is good time for the guys to pull together and gut one out, you have momentum and the playoffs are in reach... so you reach out and take it.

 

[HndsmCelt]

how has mclemore ben?

Lon Chaney

 

[Larry89]

New Years resolution... get every kings player a membership to some yoga studio so they can work on their backs and joints.

Also, I'll incredibly dissappointed... again... if Rudy doenst show up for this game.

I'm really hoping Rudy has a big game tonight. Not just for our team but for him. He needs it.

 

[Larry89]

DMC vs Zaza. I also thought WCS was good for this game.. We have no one to guard Dirk.

Go Kings

Would Acy our best option tonight?

 

[Amaranth]

Omri and Rondo are officially out. Ben will play.

 

[lwc]

I'm guessing that makes the starting lineup
Collison
Ben
Rudy
Quincy
Boogie

Gay is dealing with achilles soreness.

From rotoworld: "His Achilles is just a little sore, but maybe that explains why he scored just nine points on 4-of-9 shooting vs. the lowly 76ers on Wednesday."

He was also on the injury report for the Suns' game.

 

[kingsboi]

wow where did all these injuries come from? none the less, roll with what you got...I can't say I expect them to go out there and win two straight on the road so just compete, that's all I ask.

 

[Larry89]

Sore Achilles for Rudy :/ I hope he doesnt tweak it this game

 

[Sluggah]

Early start time messin with my 'Making a Murderer' binge. Stupid time zones.

 

[theclash4u5]

I still don't understand the need to start Acy when Casspi/WCS aren't available but I guess Butler is just that terrible

 

[dude12]

Lets do this....opportunities for bench guys tonight

 

[dude12]

Get in the paint guys

 

[dude12]

DC needs to pull his head out with these poor turnovers

 

[John Galt]

Naturally, Kings come out with more energy. Duh, of course, why not?

 

[dude12]

Connect four

 

[SLAB]

DMC totally punched/shoved that cameraman WILL be a story.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Great start with great defense.

 

[theclash4u5]

Gonna need a big game from Rudy tonight to win, imo

 

[dude12]

Dang denied by John Galt

 

[Sac.1989]

defense wins championships

 

[Sluggah]

wow. active hands.
