Who wins? Can the Kings get their first victory of the season? Can the offense catch up to the defense? Thoughts? Predictions? Comments?
 
Kings need a win but it will be tough to get it from Golden State. I predict a tough game with the Kings having 4 chances in 10 of winning and the Warriors having 6 chances in 10. With a good game the Kings might win. The Kings may be ready to put together a good game. Dare anyone to walk the fence any better than that.

I think Cousins will finally get out of his funk and explode for a monster night.
 
I predict a giant neon space hampster will descend from the ceiling wearing a translucent top hat filled with blue fin tuna and distributing snow cones to people who's last names begin with J or W. Or possibly A.

I'm worried about penetration, and the effects that might have on closing down shooters. I'm not at all confident with IT/Brooks defending Curry/Jack and keeping their penetration in check.

If they cannot prevent those two from getting by them and getting into the lane, either straight up or off screens, then naturally Reke/JJ will have to sag off of their shooters to help. Jack has played very well this season so far and GS has run a Jack/Curry/Klay lineup successfully at times.

Must close out shooters, but to do that penetration must be in check.

Need a win though, 0-4 with Det on Wed would essentially make Det a must win if we lose, with SA coming in on Fri and at LAL on Sun. We need to be no worse than 2-5 at 9pm Sun night imo. 1-6 or 0-7 and there's some serious questions to ask.
 
the Warriors have been looking really good so far. Carl Landry, specifically, has been awesome, pretty much outplaying Blake Griffin last Saturday. no idea how he's been performing vs. Chuck Hayes, but he'll be a handful to say the least. the Warriors' backcourt will be a problem, too. far too much shooting to comfortably go up against. all in all, I could be more optimistic, but hope for the home crowd to provide enough of a lift and for Marcus to torch the Warriors again. Kings win by single digits.
 
Bogut playing tonight.

Still worried about Curry/Thompson shooting right over IT/MT. They each would have roughly a 4" height advantage along with high, quick releases.
