Kings have been lately on a tear. Watched their games against Denver and the Clippers and they were quite impressive. So if we don't come up with our A game, I think we will lose this one.

I always expect a loss in the first game of a Western road trip. But, the 76ers are 13-0 with this starting lineup.

I really like this Kings roster. Tyrese Haliburton is one of my favorite players in the game already.

I don't think there's much of a chance we lose this game unless an injury comes up in the next few hours

I expect a loss, but wouldn't be surprised if they win. I am more thinking of it as they should go 2-2 or better on this road trip.

Pumped to watch the game!... in 2 more hours.

I'll probably only make it to the first quarter.

Yeah it is weird that the unbeatable juggernaut (w/the 27th ranked Defense lol) is losing a game! And to the woeful Pistons?!?

Impossible!!!

Nets defense is azz. I really hope they don't get anyone who will make a big difference. Cleveland better not gift them Drummond.

Key stat for us all to be aware of despite this being on the road and a hot Kings team. The Sixers are 13-0 when their starting lineup plays.

Fitting that a classic Process Sixer is leading the Pistons in Jerami Grant. They aren't a good team, but when other teams play down to their record their energy will beat you. That would be Pistons wins against the Sixers, Lakers and Nets in little over a week if they keep the lead.

I don't see the Cav's buying out Drummond, he isn't that great defensively (though just about anyone would help there) and his salary number is a lot to swallow in a trade.

The fact Steve Nash is an NBA head coach is laughable and it’s showing.

Watching the Nets they don't even seem to look to Nash as the coach. He is definitely playing the CEO coach role and letting his assistants handle the details, though in fairness he looks pretty damn sharp in a suit at least.

I give Doc a lot of credit for the Sixers winning several games they would have given away last year, but we have a pretty incredible coaching staff overall with Cassell, Joerger, O'Brien, Popeye and the rest. Top notch staff all around.
