Well this should be fun hopefully Ellis will get the start again.

The Kings and Thunder should swap there Euroleague MVPs, the Thunder want floor spacing and the Kings want a back up playmaking PG and neither are getting playing time on their current squad.

Obviously will still need to see game footage on the court, but even if this ends up a bit distracting relative to a regular wood-finish floor, it seems pretty clear this will be much better than some of the brightly-colored floors, particularly the red ones.

With the way Brown coaches don't be shocked if Sasha at some point this season ends up starting lol.

Yeah the tone of the actual floor reminds me of the Brooklyn alternate court from a few years back which everyone seemed to love and the fact these were designed with matching the city editions in mind means it doesnt look completely obnoxious like the Pacers one was for whatever reasom

We need his defensive length against Alexander. That's not a matchup for Mitchell

I actually think our IST court looks pretty good. Not nearly as loud(relatively speaking) as many of the the others I’ve seen.

As for the game, Kings have their work cut out for them but I expect they’ll play well enough to have a chance to win it. I’m not favoring them but they have to start making threes as a team eventually.

I too hope Keon is starting again. I think it’s the right move matchup wise.

Domas needs to have a big night. He needs to attack Holmgren early and often. Even if Chet gets a block here and there. Domas usually eats very well against frail lanky shot blocker types like Nick Claxton and hopefully Chet. OKC doesn’t have very many bigs outside of that and Domas should easily overpower him.

My toughs exactly. It never hurts to have an underdog with a chip on his shoulder guarding a young gun building a rep

I was impressed if he gets a nice shooting touch, then watch out.

On our way to game Im excited to see the tournament floor I had no clue they were doing this. I hope Domas will bring his grit tonight and stay full throttle, I’m also good with Keon starting. It should be exciting and also I want to see the new beam my grand daughter said it’s thicker and brighter so the entire city can see us win

Go Kings!!!

 

[Caccia]

Gilgeous-Alexander scored 43 his last time out? Oh, boy.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He's a good shooter. Just a matter of settling in and seeing a couple go through

Hella recency bias in that poll.

 

[Bfreeman]

They need to make the in season mean something related to the playoffs, otherwise its just kind of meh.

 

[Sluggah]

I know it’s been explained here, but if we lose this game, are we knocked out? I’ve paid zero attention to the rules of this tournament. Bummed Fox is out for it…seems like an environment he’d thrive in.

 

[Kingz19]

They need to remove the superimposed ruffles logo

…thanks

 

[Kingz19]

Beautiful pass by Domas

 

[Caccia]

Sabonis is passing with finesse.

 

[Bfreeman]

Huerter looking awake out there, bout time

 

[Kingz19]

Good defense Keon

 

[Bfreeman]

The difference with Keon effective penetration

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

One thing Ellis does well: not doing too much.

Davion becomes a major part of the offense whether it's appropriate or not.

Really really like Ellis' game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What could they possibly make it mean related to the playoffs that wouldn't render the remainder of the regular season meaningless?

 

[Tetsujin]

Domas and Kevin with the monstrous start.

 

[Caccia]

The Thunder are trying mightily to attack inside. So far, it's not working.

 

[Sluggah]

Not too shabby

 

[Kingz19]

Good energy

Williams all over Keegan though
