I predict this is the first time since the merger that two centers on opposing teams have triple doubles...

Before halftime.

I’m preparing myself for a bit of a rough stretch. A losing streak is part of the game we just can’t let it get out of control if and when it happens. All I want is for us to be within striking distance at the all star break. I think it’s going to be pretty hard to upgrade the roster in season but we will se what Monte has up his sleeve

 

[GWD]

Coach Brown has been looking for a back-up 5 all season. The Sabonis injury may just be the catalyst that spurs Monte and Brown to get serious about a deal with someone even if it requires the loss of some valuable piece or pieces. Now is the time to strike before things get out of hand. Later in the season may be "too late" if a playoff berth is the goal.

There is a certain veteran Free Agent that could fill in some of what Sabonis does on offense and can rebound and he wouldn’t cost the Kings anything, except a small deal and a roster spot…… DeMarcus Cousins….. Just sayin.

 

[gunks]

Joker is gonna demolish us if Sabonis doesn't play, and with him injured he might still demolish us.

The rest of Denver is kinda doo doo though so I actually think we still have a chance.

Murray is my candidate for our "Who drops 40 on us" though.

 

[Lionheart]

Jokic is an absolute beast and is on the path to win 3 straight MVP's which is pretty damn amazing when you think about it. Can't really stop him persay, just need to slow him down a bit and don't let him control the game as he usually does. Do think though that he will have his way tonight. Hopefully we can get some good minutes from the bench tonight and fight our way to a victory.

Heart says Kings win but head will go with a 120-108 Nuggets win.

Prove me wrong fellas!

Brown is in health and safety and Jordi coaching tonight.

Brown is in health and safety and Jordi coaching tonight.

Expecting a lot of designed plays to get Queta open from 3

 

[MizzouKing]

Send everyone to Jokic to get him into foul trouble, then play the scrubs for the win.

Michael Porter Jr can be very dangerous, but at least he’s on a minutes restriction.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Send everyone to Jokic to get him into foul trouble, then play the scrubs for the win.

when the other teams' big man has gotten in early foul trouble the last few weeks it's just been an invitation from some bust to drop 50 on us.

 

[SacTownKid]

Tough matchup, win this one for coach Brown fellas!

Unfortunately, with Sabonis not 100%....treadmilling might actually occur.

Damn you kb02 for putting it out into the universe

Uh oh. In certain match-ups, we can potentially absorb Sabonis missing, but this might be the stone-worst game/match-up for him to be out. Gonna be a rough one

With Domas not at 100%, I wouldn't want him up there vs Jokic anyway. Ruled out is good here. He and Embiid are tough matchups at full health. Injured? Forget it.

On the other hand this is potentially a huge trap game for Denver if they don’t get up for a short handed Kings team missing their head coach

 

[Woot!]

3's best be fallin' tonite, tell you wut.

 

[Spike]

3's best be fallin' tonite, tell you wut.

The only way to win this is like 153-150

 

[LoungeLizard]

Ugh. We’re a below average team without Sabonis. This sucks. Hopefully the rest of the guys can step up get the beam lit.

 

[Caccia]

This could be an interesting matchup tonight. The Kings know what is on the line. Coach Fernandez may elect to go small. And Denver may be coasting...

 

[kingsboi]

with Sabonis out, it will take Fox going nuclear along with one of Monk & Huerter to help with the scoring burden for the Kings to not get stomped tonight

At least HB and Keegan no longer have to deal with being guarded by Aaron Gordon, who I’m assuming hurt himself on his epic Christmas dunk.

Glad Alex is getting a shot!
