[Game] Raptors @ Kings, 11/15/15 6PM PST 9PM EST

[Suicide King]

Hoping Ben keeps up his improved game tonight and that Rudy is feeling it like he was vs. Detroit. We are 15-3 at home vs. the Raptors in our last 18. A win tonight would be powerful leading in to the road trip. Hoping we win and win by a lot!

 

[King Baller]

If it wasn't for DeRozan, Ben would probably be on Lowry.

Rondo isn't a very good defender at all.. I hope he steps it up tonight. It really depends on Collison. If Collison is back, it'll give Rondo more energy to focus on defense and really lock his man down.

Are you serious?

 

[Sac.1989]

que Johnny McEnroe - you can not be serious !?

 

[The_Jamal]

This is probably the best "measuring stick" game for us this season. Toronto is in that 2nd tier of teams (in the 8-12 range) and is the kind of competition we need to prove we're better than or at least equal to in order to make the playoffs. Massive test for Rondo trying to slow Lowry down after 3 consecutive 40+ minute games. The issue is, we can't really hide him tonight like we were able to with him on KCP as Derozan is just as dangerous.

 

[Larry89]

Looking forward to see if Quincy Acy gets more minutes in "small ball" looks to be a good pickup and fit with our team

 

[kingjatt]

As mentioned this is a measuring stick game, talent for talent we should win but lets see how Karl wants to approach this, trying to out small ball them will not end well.

Ben McLemore is starting tonight at the shooting guard spot for Sacramento.

I hope it works but it may too much too soon for him. Hopefully, he views it as a confidence builder. I also hope we see a few minutes where he and Marco are on the floor simultaneously. They certainly have some kind of on-court connection that is beautiful to watch.

 

[VF21]

Heart, hustle, energy and effort. I'll keep repeating this mantra...because good things happen when the Kings remember it.

Sure wish Doug Christie was on the TV broadcast tonight. Rondo needs his mojo.

 

[chasen4r1]

This is the starting lineup I want to see this team roll with this year. Here's to hoping Ben has found his stride and Rudy has found his health!

 

[ESP47]

The Nets fans trade proposals are hilarious. They'd "maybe" trade Lopez for Cousins and they would do us a favor by trading Joe Johnson for Gay, Collison and McLemore.

 

[206Fan]

Are you serious?

Yes. Why is it a secret that Rondo isn't a good defender anymore?

 

[rainmaker]

If Rondo can keep up what he's doing, this team will be better for Rondo being the #2 option and Rudy the #3.

And that's a pretty good situation to be in.

 

[206Fan]

Why did WCS switch?

 

[macadocious]

We switch, it's dumb.

 

[VF21]

I'll say this right now and hope I have to eat my words later. I do NOT agree with starting Ben McLemore and I do not think he's going to be able to do what the Kings want/need him to do.

 

[SLAB]

WCS's perimeter D.

He's better off the bench imo. It helps his game much more. I think this says more about Anderson than Ben...

 

[kingjatt]

If guys really run at cousins three like that, he basically becomes even more unguardable

 

[Larry89]

Rudy :/

 

[kingjatt]

Willie and Ben not looking comfortable

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Definitely appreciate the way they're fighting in transition.

 

[SLAB]

DMC is awake in the first half tonight!!!

 

[Larry89]

Cauley-Stein is great on switches on pnr, reminds me of a young garnett

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Complete opposite start for Boogie conpared to last game.

 

[VF21]

Willie and Ben not looking comfortable

I think Wilie looks fine...

 

[dude12]

WCS defense making an impact.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings are telegraphing that skip pass.

 

[Larry89]

Yeah... these last two calls
