[Game] Kings vs. Hornets, October 30, 7 PM

Game Thread!

The Hornets come in 1-3 and hold the worst point differential in the league (except for us), we played a bit better on Monday, so maybe tonight is a shot at getting into the win column!

 

[SLAB]

Giles QUESTIONABLE at this moment.

Kings get their first W of the season tonight.

 

[SacTownKid]

We see what this team is made of tonight.

If we lose tonight then kingsfans.com will lose their collective mind.

I think the minds have already been loss. Just more sad acceptance.

 

[Larry89]

Bjelica may have troubles guarding Pj Washington and Cody Zeller is having a career year while we are shorthanded at C and PF, I expect us to go small alot this game with Barnes at 4. Fox and Buddy should be able to wreak havoc

 

[Kingster]

Hornets have said they have targeted the Kings for a W on this west coast trip. Kings MUST get this win. The must build on the Denver game, not regress. Napear thinks the Kings won't get to 35 wins this year if they lose this game. I tend to agree.

They’re not getting there if they win this game. Lmao

Skal has been playing pretty well for the Blazers ):

Meanwhile, Swanigan...

I expect maximum 40 wins and that's if I'm optimistic this team can get itself together...

Ugh, don't remind me. Decent back-up big on a good team traded for a guy you'd be hard pressed to classify as a D-league, let alone an NBA player. It's not a world-ending trade but it was a definite loss.

Everyone talked themselves into that trade because fans will talk themselves into anything.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Holmes gets the start over Dedmon.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Holmes gets the start over Dedmon.

Happened one half too late.

 

[SLAB]

Harry’s OUT, so I don’t care. World Series time.

 

[L'Optimisme]

I'd like this win.

Smh...

 

[Suicide King]

W please.

 

[BLNINJA #81]

We are currently statistically the worst team in the NBA at the moment. There's nowhere to go but up!

This is a MUST WIN

 

[burekijogurt]

Holmes starting.

 

[burekijogurt]

the bench lost both Bjelica and Holmes. they need to be staggered.

 

[Kingz19]

I like Holmes even more than I anticipated

And I really liked the Holmes signing when it happened

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Holmes playing extremely well early on, yet again.

Guy who didn't play for another guy who doesn't play. He plays on the Blazers because their bigs are hurt. He wouldn't be getting minutes here.

Yeah, under the best circumstances(Skal not getting in the game for Portland either) that was a lateral trade, now it clearly made no sense. We needed more weight On the frontline but I don’t think getting Harrell’s bizzaro world counterpart was what we needed.

Dedmon might have something to say about that.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Dedmon might have something to say about that.

I'm willing to give Dedmon a little time to work it out. Skal had 3 years. That said I do think Joerger shares some blame and I assume that at the deadline they didn't already know they were going to move on so no point keeping a guy that can't crack the lineup when you think you have a playoff team.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So Barnes is playing center? Or is it Ariza?

 

[Sluggah]

Going super small not completely working out.

Well, we did get literal weight... Caleb is...big.
