I actually like the Kings chances to upset OKC.

Fox/Sabonis vs SGA/Chet I would trust the more experienced Sacramento duo.

Note to Chuck: Liberace jokes weren't even funny 30 years ago. And no one under 40 is going to even know who that is. TNT needs to get these dinosaurs off the air.

$15 parking that close to the arena is crazy.

How the **** is that foul on Valanciunas, not to mention Sabonis push...

Watching intently Willie Green's coaching tonight, he did pretty bad in those games vs LA let's see if he can make those in-game adjustments.

Is it a thing for whenever there's a nice move or shot the New Orleans crowd gives the Ric Flair 'WOOO!'?!

That's awesome.

Looks like sac trying to live or die by the 3 and it ain't going in.

Jonas does not provide any sort of rim protection and he isn't an elite rebounder. I see why New Orleans isn't too crazy about him.

Sabonis with three pumps, that's a 15-yard penalty

Fox is so much better when he's attacking defenders with the dribble drive. He's been settling for too many threes this year so I'm happy to see him aggressive early tonight. Work inside-out.

You wanna give Big Val the benefit of the doubt, but damn he's missed three layups tonight.

He is off to a rough start - if he made those bunnies he would have a great start. But the last Kings/Pelicans matchup he was useful. Sabonis can't easily bully him in the paint. Pelicans need to attack Sabonis in the paint via drive or post ups early to try and get him his 2nd foul. Put Jones/Murphy on him and double

Called it. Murphy attacked the paint and got Sabonis his 2nd foul

Agreed. OKC feels very beatable when the game slows down and guys like Dort and Jwill have to make shots

Sabonis destroying all playoff haters.

What a time.

This is not much of an offensive lineup Willie has put on the floor.

pelicans turning the ball over too much

Murphy III never fails to impress

Who wins and becomes the 8 seed?
