Game 58 Thread - Kings (32-25) vs Blazers (28-30)

Early start on the thread fellas. This one feels like a bigger game than it probably is. With a crazy schedule to finish out the season they are going to need to win most of the 50/50 ones. Plus coming off ASB the guys need to come out with a statement game.

Good news, Monk is back tonight!

Lillard and Grant out for rest purposes? The game after ASB??? How does a team justify that.

Blazers must have scouted that we always sleep when teams rest. This is a no excuses type of game. We are playing against Reddish, Thybulle, Little, Eubanks, Sharpe. They need to end this game by the 3rd quarter

We’ve been extremely lucky all season with our health and the corresponding teams lack of health that it’s almost impossible to discern where we are

Holy crap what a joke of a start. This team always does this vs teams resting. It's a pattern. Im not tied to a single damn player on this team outside fox and sabonis, they need a defensive overhaul

if this team loses this game they will be done in the play ins without much fan fare.

They have no consistency or backbone. Part of that is time, as they've only been together a year, but alterations need to be made.

problems are everywhere besides Sabonis. fox's inconsistency is a career trade. that can overlooked if the team was stronger than Huerter/Barnes/Murray, but

Huerter has been bad for awhile and im sick of being sick of him. Barnes has disappeared for awhile and has went from vet that needs to be re-signed to someone who is playing his last games here. Keegan is just soft and so far from rookie projections, he makes no impact on games consistently

the bench been a bright spot. Davis been playing well and monk has not been abjectly bad. would be good if they continue to supply that lift coming down the stretch. starters didn't have to log too many tonight for tomorrow s game
