[Game] Kings v Pistons 1/10/19 7pm PT/10pm ET- Time to battle

[The Hammer]

Ok let's hope last game was a wake up call. Good thing about the NBA is you have another chance to win in a night or two. It's a good thing we don't have two days off to stew on that loss too much. We need wins for our own team mindset. Let's get back to .500... GO KINGS!

 

[Sac.1989]

We should win this given we let PHX slip. Expecting a big bounce back.

Our bigs will need to be steller

 

[spok22s]

Attending tonight. Excited to see swipa the fox speed in person.

 

[steelevt]

Detroit will be mad getting embarrassed by a lebronless Lakers. We better not take them lightly and play 48 minutes.

 

[miltonap]

Need to get a good win streak goin if theres any hope of making playoffs

 

[Chupacabra]

We are 1-5 in our last 6 games. We need to start winning a ton of games.

Bold Prediction: Inspired by trade rumors WC$ out rebounds Drummond tonight! Kings win by 7

 

[chief bromden]

A win here will quell the uneasy fan base.

On a side note, Bullock’s hair is almost as mesmerizing as Elf Payton’s legendary ‘do

 

[Suicide King]

Any word on Shumpert? I am guessing we get Marvin back in limited minutes.

 

[Pizzaguy93]

Shumpert expected to play, Bagley not listed on injury report. Will probably see both. Would not mind 30+ minutes from Harry and The Bagman in the slightest.

No Blake Griffin tonight on their side

Well... Drummond is sitting at 15rpg this season, so saying you're making a bold prediction is an understatement!

If WCS does out rebound Drummond people will still probably rag on him, and I will personally INTERNET FIGHT THEM!


..... but uh, I think the odds of that happening are probably in the single digits.

Anyways, go Kings! Need this W!

Lock of the week? Late breaking "information" ?

 

[Ozymandias]

Thank Goodness Marvin is back for this one, we're gonna need all the frontcourt bodies in this game.

 

[jcassio]

WC$ will outrebound Drummond when the stars fall from the sky.

If Drummond turns his ankle in the 1st quarter and has to leave the game, you'll be eating these words!

 

[Sac.Kings]

Lol at WCS out-rebounding Drummond. More like 20-20 alert

 

[The_Jamal]

No Blake for the Pistons. Absolutely 100% need this one to keep pace. We've gotten some good luck this season facing teams without their main stars and haven't taken advantage as much as we should (Utah w/o Mitchell, Pacers w/o Dipo twice, Suns w/o Booker) all come to mind immediately. Pistons have also been playing like utter trash lately too.

I'm accepting the 20-20 Drummond game, but tonight is all about not letting the Bullock/Kennard/Johnson types to go off for a career game. We keep them in check, it should be a win.

 

[Bibby's Tattoo's]

Just watch True Believers!

 

[Chupacabra]

Tough to be optimistic about the prospect of a win after losing a game in which we led by 21 against a team that was 9-496 and without Devin Booker.

They take my time to watch that garbage, I talk lots of trash.

 

[KingsSelecao]

Kings should win if they can stay focused for 48. Detroit is surprisingly bad.

I did watch Kuzma completely punk Blake in the game last night.
41 in. 3 Qtrs.
Blake is not playing this game.

But, I anticipate Casey’s team will play a lot harder tonite. Just for prides sake. Also, to stay in the East Playoff conversation.

Have to make sure Jackson or Bullock don’t have one of those get crazy shooting games.

Most of Detroit’s starting five didn’t even play the 4th last night.

Would like to see Bags and Giles get at least good burn tonite 25-30 min

 

[KingsSelecao]

Fun fact on back to back, Detroit has the second best record in the league 3-1.

Right Behind Toronto 7-1


Sac is ranked 25 2-7

 

[Ozymandias]

The Pistons are simply not the same team without Ish Smith running the show, before his injury they were 13-9, since they are 4-12...

The Kings are favored by a whopping 8 points....

 

[Kings_of_California]

If we can't beat Detroit tonight, a Pistons team who is rapidly devolving into one of the worst teams this season, then we flat out suck.

There’s a happy medium between “We suck” (the last 10 years) and “We’re not a playoff team... yet.” (This year)

Yea, you're right. These recent losses, most notably that awful, utter collapse in PHX has me down. I just need to see one well-played, competent performance from this team to get my thoughts straight.

Lol yeah. I’ve been expecting a crash down for two months now so the loss didn’t really bring me too down, despite how stupid an L it was.

Plus this team is 100% different without Bagley. I’ll say they absolutely do suck without him.

At least you will find some joy after a win tonight. PHX was the multiplier for my angst that had been built up over a string of really tough losses, most of which were games that we gave away. The free win giveaway that the Kings decided to start also came after a string of really unnecessary seeming come from behind wins. I need to see some wins in which we appear somewhat in control for most of the game.

2 games ago against Orlando we were in control entire game.

 

[steelevt]

And we need to consistently play like that. Don't take them sitting Blake lightly like we did the suns without booker. Take offense that they are resting blake.

yeah, I think the only really egregious loss we had lately is the PHX one, pure arrogance. if we come in with that attitude tonight we lose. the other ones I thought we played well.
