if we somehow lose this game, I’ll be pissed. Expecting a minimum +10 pt win

Setting yourself up for disappointment I see.

Oh, we'll win. OKC is sitting half of their team... and for good reason. They are smart and they know what is at stake. This win will prove nothing.

 

[EIM86]

Oh, we'll win.

how many times we have said that on this forum and end up disappointed

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I think we'll win and that's fine but I am more interested in keeping our shot at a 5 or 6 pick than I am at the play in at this point since I think we will benefit more from a B tier pick and new coach than anything else at this point.

I'm still pro-tank myself, but I think our new look squad losing to a depleted OKC team would pee me off. Unless it's due to GOAT tank commander coaching from Gentry.

Still, I hope we mop the floor with them.

Unless Monte screws it up even down around 10 would likely land them a nice piece to put next to Fox at SG/SF. Those trades at the deadline took what would likely have been a bad draft for needs to a very solid one. I'm still thinking Agbaji all the way if out of the top 5. Slots right in, and although I think he goes top 10 in the end, if he doesn't, Monte could trade down.

To me it's Smith if we win or a 2/3 combo in the 5-10 range. But obviously we've seen the value of even just one slot missing out on Wagner, though it is possible Monte still loved Mitchell.

I think Lyles at the four is the way to go.

 

[SLAB]

The only thing that stinks about Holmes being out isn’t the fact that Holmes is out, it’s that Damian Jones remembered he’s … Damian Jones.

 

[SLAB]

LYLES THE GOAT

 

[Sluggah]

So…looks like a yes on that triple double.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Not lacerating the defense!

 

[SLAB]

Lyles the best Kings PF since Webber confirmed.

 

[Tetsujin]

OKC’s plan appears to be to let Shai score as many points as possible and that’s pretty much the extent of it.

 

[SacTownKid]

LYLES THE GOAT

Fitting right in. Definite low key upgrade.

 

[Tetsujin]

Roby on pace to foul out before the end of the first quarter.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Never a wasted moment to throw out a Canada reference by the Canuck announcer

 

[D13]

Whats with the soft passes??

 

[SacTownKid]

Kings trying to pound the Thunder with size in the post, worked for a minute, they rode that horse a bit too long. Lyles is an upgrade, but not a lead post option.

 

[The_Jamal]

Heading to 8 minutes into the game, none of Barnes/Sabonis/Fox been rotated out.


Sigh....

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Sabonis is like a minotaur in the paint, just bullheading his way through the crowd.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Feet-work!

 

[The_Jamal]

Sabonis needs to get a more selfish. None of these OKC bigs have a chance of keeping him out of the post.

 

[The_Jamal]

Ah classic. Shai push off, but the Kings of course don't get the credit.

craps old.

 

[SacTownKid]

Lamb is so smart when it comes to on ball/off ball movement.
