I think the keys to the game are:

1) Is AG health enough to go. We really need him as we have no depth whatsoever without him.

2) We need Vooch to step up against Bagley -- Giles will not be starting (it will be Bagley) and we need Vooch to dominate that matchup.

3) If Evan is playing Hield he CANNOT leave him on D. Evan has a terrible habit of leaving good 3 point shooters to go halfway for no apparent reason. I'd actually have Wes on Hield and Evan on Barnes but I'm assuming Evan will get the Hield matchup. Can't let that guy get hot.

4) Fultz has got to try to find a way to slow down Fox. He definitely has the size to do it but Fox is quick as a cat. The Kings starting 5 has the potential to be a damn good offensive team - gotta stop Fox first to slow that down.

With Gordon and DJ slotted to play tonight, I like our chances more. But Sacramento isn't going to be a pushover regardless. Team will need to be focused and do their best to slow down Fox and Hield.

All these years have passed by and Doug Christie still has a punchable face. Will forever dislike that clown.

If Vuc isn't going to jump for jump balls can we just put AG or Birch in it? lol

Clifford Is in idiot for thinking it was a good idea to have birch on there stretch 4( cant spell his name).

Can't stop Nemanja at all. Magic playing lazy as hell but it's hard to have energy when you see Evan trying to ISO on nearly every play.

Obviously it's not working out with Birch in the starting lineup tonight.

Floor shrinks under 2 non shooters.
And Birch is not comfortable defending Bjelica at 25 feet.

That ended up working out but I don't like that Vuc passed it out when he had a clear advantage in the post.

Nice shot AG

lol Vuc is schooling them

Sacramento has no big on their roster to handle Vuc. Vuc better be living in that paint tonight.

Nice, unselfish basketball right there.

This is clearly a winnable game but they cant let sacromento continue to shoot the ball hot they gotta make consecutive stops especially from the 3 point line.

Slow start but a strong finish to end the 1st quarter. AG and DJ already providing what we missed in the Phoenix game.
