Raptors? Check

Thunder? Check

Rockets? Well, let's see what happens. I've got a good feeling, though. I'd love to see the Kings complete the Turkey Week trifecta. :)

If Kings want to show they belong, they need to get this one IMO. Rockets will run and gun and chuck and chuck some more, can't fall into that trap. It's classic D'antoni basketball. Temple versus Harden = fun & lots of arm flailing.

Hey, I'm going to a game for the first time this season! What do you guys recommend for parking? How much is it usually for parking near the arena? Hard to find? Or is it better to park a couple miles away and lyft/uber to the arena?

Thanks!
 
Are the Rockets even good defensively?

No, of course not. But they are actually a tad better than you might expect. Portland is playing so little D they aren't giving themselves a chance. Houston's just not very good. And the interesting thing so far has been that Mike D'Antoni comes and joins a run n' gun team and actually slow them down. They're 15th in the league in pace this year, dead average. Some of that may be because they are using Harden at PG.

There are some comments about parking in this thread

Download parkmobile app on your phone. Pre pay for the parking it's cheaper and you will know where to go. It's $25 for lots around the arena, price drops as you move farther away. You might be able to find street parking.
 
I like our chances in this game. Harden is a beast but Joerger is coaching like a HOFer right now. Amazing what he has done with this roster. I am going with the Kings
 
My main concern is the 3. This Houston team shoots the most 3's of any team and 6th best percentage at 36.8%. Overall FG% is 5th in the league at 46.3%. If we can defend well enough to knock that down we stand a good chance. They shoot smart high percentage shots. With Harden averaging around 12 assists per game they are 4th in assists. Disruption of passing lanes is going to be crucial.
 
This is an important game for the Kings that will tell us where they stand...need to win these kinds of games if you want to compete for a playoff spot. Kings played a good game against the Thunder...I think Houston is similar, but a little better at what they do...should be interesting.
 
A win tonight would be great, but just as important to me is this upcoming road trip against teams we can beat. Starting the trip on a 3 game winning streak is bigger to me than any one of the teams we have ( or have not pending tonight) beaten on this home stand.
 
Should be a fun game!

Woe unto that unlucky soul(s) tasked with guarding the beard. If Harden goes for 40/10, I'll be a bit upset, but not at all surprised....

Actually, if Harden goes for 40/10 and we still pull out the W, I wont be mad at all!

Go Kings! I actually get to watch this one, don't let me down fellas!

Hopefully someone decides to guard Ryan Anderson this season.

He ate WCS alive, so with him currently out of the rotation I have a little faith.

James Ham thinks the Kings should incorporate a bit of the George Karl frenetic dribble-drive offense into the gameplan.
 
Lawson starting with Collison

Joerger wants speed on Harden instead of strength

Still, I'd like consistency with lineup
