Should be a good one.

I hope the team plays with their newfound energy on both ends. That would make Sacramento very beatable. We have to bring it though.

Going to be at this game, looking forward to seeing the boogie-drumroe matchup. Also, I expect jennings to own his matchup with collison.

I hope KCP wins the KCP Ben Mclemore match up and Dre gets some post looks and has a good game. Hopefully Boogie won't start a fight with someone. :lol:

The kings are a tricky team. they have some weapons so i hope the Pistons don't get ahead of themselves after playing a D-league knicks team.

Exactly. Have you guys ever played pick up and screwed around jacking up 3s knowing you would win. Then in two games you play a decent team and you guys suck because you forgot the way you play.

It's a strange balance they need to maintain. The team, of late, have looked energized and happy and it's great because they're feeding off each others positivity, but they need to stay locked in now. Sacramento have been up and down this season, but they've had some big wins. Also Cousins and Gay are guys that can explode for 30-40 points on any given night, so our boys better be careful.

Cousins is really pissed off at management right now, sulking, taking plays off, stuff like that. He liked Malone and was upset by his firing. We should get him a little riled up early and see if he does something stupid.

Kings have only won 3 of their last 12 games. 2 of their last 5. Hopefully Boogie doesn't have a huge game against us.

Monroe usually has a big game against Boogie, which is good. I'm anticipating a 5 game winning streak.

It's the next 5 games that will be brutal.

Hey guys Drive are playing and it's streaming on youtube if you wanna watch Spencer!
He's looking good so far setting people up and hitting deep threes!

What scares me somewhat is dre usually has foul problems with bigs like cousins,bigs that can shoot and body up.I just hope he dosent fall for the pump fakes by cousins.If I was dre,I would take a couple of charges from cousins to let it be known that,that **** wont fly this game.Dre just needs to concentrate on playing defense and not worry about going for blocks.

We're getting into a stretch that will tell a lot about the post-Smith Pistons. Spurs, Mavs, Hawks and Raps up next.

It would be phenomenal if we went 2-2 over those 4 games.

coolness · Post #16 » by **coolness** » Sun Jan 4, 2015 6:13 am

I love that you put our record as 4-0. :nod:

Let's make it 5 since the schedule gets tough afterwards. KCP and DrumDrum should stick it to McLemore and Cousins.

Yep, And1 for continuing to refer to our record solely in the Post-Josh Smith sense.

Lions game on at same time!

Go Blue!

Meh.

I'd rather watch a team that has a chance to win their game.

I think the lions have a decent chance to win. If the lions can pressure romo using their front four their chances go up a ton

I'm trying to shed all memory of the beginning of the season
