[Game] Kings vs Rockets 1/11/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

This game used to be on ESPN!

 

[Sac.Kings]

This game used to be on ESPN!

They can’t show the reffing job they do on us on national TV!

 

[joemama]

Due to our recent struggles and defense, now is a good time to face some lower-tiered teams. These games could help us regain some rhythm and confidence.

 

[BigVirg]

We need to come out and handle this team twice. Leave no doubt and go get back to back double digit wins.

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Here we go again...

#BeamTheEffingLight!!!



And beat the Rockets...

 

[iowamcnabb]

I’m curious why this isn’t a back to back like the Denver game

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

I’m curious why this isn’t a back to back like the Denver game

Because the NBA figured that we'd beat up on the Rockets so bad tonight that they will need an extra day to "gather themselves" and prepare for another beatdown...

He said with great lament.

both of us have used this, you are slipping buddy.

how about this one then

 

[NewArena]

Please oh please take care of business tonight and Friday before we travel to San Antonio. I’m begging. I hate that I’m still not over the damn Laker game

 

[The_Jamal]

Good opportunity to take advantage of POR losing last night to the Magic on a 2nd Night of B-B and the Warriors with Steph back somehow losing to the PHX back-ups

Oh I’ve finally became an all star after 15 years in the “league”. I don’t know how you Hall of Famers do it

Don't get cocky. You're only 4 maliciously-mod-deleted posts from going back to Starter status!

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

As a future "Hall of Famer", the answer is simple: hard work and dedication. We'll all get there eventually...Some faster than others, but we'll all get there...

Huerter was interviewed about his interest in participating in the NBA three-point shooting contest. I mean, the guy gets off his shot in a hurry:

He also put in a plug for Monk to play in the dunk contest: <"I don't know why he hasn't done it yet, to be honest, but he flies. He's creative with it. He jumps out of the gym."

Then Huerter stopped and shouted across the locker room, "Malik, why haven't you done the dunk contest yet?" he asked. "I don't get invited," Monk replied.>

Huerter is listed as day-to-day for tonight's game with an unspecified illness.

 

[dude12]

Get that win tonight. Integrate PJ Dozier. More length will pay off down the road

 

[Ozymandias]

The Rockets have lost 7 in a row and 13 of their last 14...

I'm just gonna throw it out there; thats probably why ESPN made the decision.

Soon to be 9 in a row and 15 of their last 16...

And that hurts.

 

[NewArena]

Can't wait to string some games together with a full lineup. Ugh

I would assume Monk starts in his place?

Couple East teams helping us out: DET clobbers MIN and the Celtics beat NOP. Especially after the West losses last night too, great opportunity to just take care of business and pick up a game

 

[Djsmith]

I may be new to this, but why are we already showing this game as a loss on the NBA tv schedule for the Kings? Not saying there's a conspiracy, but it seems like wouldn't show that for morale's sake

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I would assume Monk starts in his place?

...And it turns out to be TD

 

[Caccia]

...And it turns out to be TD

What a farce. What has TD done to earn a starting position? Nada.

Counterpoint: starting Davis is the least disruptive to the rotation.
