[Game] Kings vs. Nuggets, 2/24/2022 7pm Pacific, 10pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

Assuming things don't completely spiral out of control in the next few hours (knock on wood), the Kings are back in action with their first game of the post-All-Star break portion of the year with a battle against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.

The Kings are 2-2 in the Fox and Ox era and look to keep pace in the play-in race. Will they succeed? Tune in to find out.

Sucks Vlatko Cancar can't get playing time I always thought he was one of the few wings from the ABA who could play decent at the NBA level.

Love that everyone is healthy (except TD). Now if they can just hit their shots, we can be competitive. Maybe even interesting.

My son, FIL, and I are going to this one. Bought tickets right after the trade (we didn't think the new guys would actually play in that first home game after the trade deadline). I'm excited to see Sabonis play in person. Hopefully they start getting more familiar with each other on the court and it can translate into some wins.

This should be a fun one.

Although I'm dealing with a lot of cognitive dissonance because I'm still very much pro tank.

OTOH.... the Fox and Ox leading us to a win is infinitely more palatable than those lotto busting games of yesteryear powered by Buddy Chuck-its getting hot against rival cellar dwellers!

DID YOU NOT JUST READ WHAT TETSUJIN WROTE?!

I'm going with a charcuterie tray. Meat, cheese, cucumbers, and carrots. Pretty excited for it, actually.

I think these games vs. the Nuggets are a good measuring stick. They're a team with limitations, but on any given night, they can play like champions. I don't think we have an answer for Jokic, who has become a next-level player, but I like our supporting cast just a little better. I don't know how much practice time, if any, these guys have had.

Sabonis vs. Jokic could actually be a lot of fun. Quite a bit more fun than my dinner, I'm sure.

Sabonis on Joker is going to be a helluva lot easier to stomach than Holmes tho.

Cucumbers on a charcuterie board?! Sir! Immediately no.

Hopefully they’ve been soaking in a brine for the last few days.

Who can eat charcuterie, at a time like this?

Chips and queso, that's the way to go.

Is Boogie healthy and getting backup minutes for Denver?

I want him back for real reasons next year. Trade Holmes for something and have Boogie as Sabonis’ backup.

Hopefully Davion is back. Holmes needs a setup man with the 2nd team to get him going. D Cuz will be a tough cover for our 2nd team, especially RH.

Grilled Sea Bass taco…….yum!

Per Ham, Holmes is out tonight. Davion is full go.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Odd, at this point maybe Holmes needs a few weeks off. Come back for the home stretch

Let's try to score more points than the Nuggets.

Sabonis says "I'm the captain now" right in Jokic's grill.
