Kinda figured that was going to happen. Any word on Deebo?

Honestly, it may be good just to have them out Monday too, rest up and start again Friday against the Clips

Oh boy

Intrigued on what ORob can bring tonight.

He's #good. Might not have the stamina vuilt up, but i think he makes a good impact tonight

 

[SacTownKid]

What's with the back stuff? It's always odd when two players have the same issue and brings into question training habits.

The one thing kind of keeping him out of the NBA as a rotation guy is his lack of foot speed. So far he's been a total target in pick and roll defensively.

Opportunities for deep bench guys after the injuries and OT game last night.

 

[SacTownKid]

Also Keegan. He should have the green light to bust through and get into rhythm in this one.

Three of the top six players on the team, sidelined. I guess we will find out what this Kings team is made of tonight.

I said it before and I will say it again: Monte McNair needs to fill that 15th roster spot ASAP, if only with a ten-day contract.

Essentially, only eight players that Coach Brown trusts to play will suit up tonight: Fox, Huerter, Murray, Lyles, Ellis, McLaughlin, McDermott, and Len.

I would start Ellis and move Huerter to small forward. John Collins is only 6' 9", and Lyles is the same height and about the same weight, so Lyles might be the answer at center. Small ball.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Just an opportunity for some of our other guys to shine GO KINGS!

Might be the best thing that's happened then. Keegan needs a green light and he always seems to perform well against the Jazz. He's averaging 20+ vs. the Jazz in his career. Another thing that Mike Brown rarely does is look to the end of his bench and mass sit some of this main guys to make a point and/or find energy when they come out flat in a game. Well, he has to tonight.

Has Brown ever removed an established starter from a starting lineup, when healthy? He's more likely to start McLaughlin than move Huerter to the 2nd unit

Good question, but of course, Fox, Murray, and Huerter will start tonight. I was trying to color in the other two triangles on the page.

I would be irate if, as Coach Brown intimates, he starts McLaughlin over Ellis. Truly angry.

Just give us the L already.

Not sure I agree with playing all our healthy forwards at the same time but this is probably our best option to have a non-terrible at offense lineup on the floor.

Hopefully Keon plays more than McBuckets at the end...I wouldn't choose this lineup either but I wish I am wrong.

 

[megapoxy]

Jazz with 3 "bigs" in the lineup, Collins, Filipowski and Markkanen, so Keon perhaps wouldn't fit to guard one of them. Will be a challenge for sure.

Agreed. It could be worse.

To be fair, we already saw worse last night when Mike Brown randomly ran out a Len-Sabonis frontcourt.

Makes sense. There's no one for Len to match-up with the Utah starters. Of course, there wasn't anyone for him to match up with last night without moving our All-NBA C to a different position, but hey.

Also, very much makes me appreciate these last few seasons. This starting 5 is GOD awful and it's still significantly better than a lot of teams we've trotted out over the 18 drought. Man did things get bad here.

Doug McBuckets would’ve been our big free agent signing over the offseason and starting over our disappointing lotto pick rather than an end of the rotation bench guy only starting because half of the team is out with injury.

Where’s my guy Roy Al at?
