Will our reaction be more extreme if they win or if they lose? Lol...

If they win... I'm going crazy... Just sayin'

Lol I don't think there should be any strong reactions either way. This year is going to be all about the growth of Fox/Bagley/Haliburton.

Tyrese already with a positive presence. He’s our walking + +/-. As soon as he starts is as soon as we are seriously trying to win.

I just want to compete and see growth this year. If we lose by less than 10 and have a chance at the beginning of the 4th I’m ok

Buddy is going to stay feast or famine eh? He’s been off and forcing stuff as if he knows he needs stats to be traded

Barnes, it’s a fine line between being solid and doing nothing, that he often transgresses. Been ok tonight so far

Jokic is impacting both sides of the court. Kings really have no answers.

From what I gather Holmes has been worse than last year preseason and tonight. Maybe he isn’t the long term piece I supported last season

I love Holmes but his ideal role has always been an energy big off the bench. If he's your starting center, you have a limited ceiling.

Halliburton.

Oh that was disappointing. Love that they got him the shot. No idea why it was a 3 but he was hitting them so, live with it.

Oof. Fox and Hield ice cold at the wrong time. Barnes has something to prove here though. Love using all 6 from Holmes and Bagley but getting all the boards they got too. White side holding down the fort. Positives, but Joseph?!

Woooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Such a mess, and I’m here for it lol. That was awesome. Can’t hit the shot, play that D and hustle those plays. Doug Christie with the call (technically, but barely safe for work). Ok enough from me.

KINGS WIN. What a game.

What an effort!

Two defensive stops to win the game.

Imagine how good Jokic could be if he was a dog. He's got some flop in him.

Great ending

Jokic has too many antics. That won't win a ship. How about holding Murray to 1/9!

Great to grab one in one of the toughest places to play, Haliburton is gonna be so fun to watch, and when it comes to winning more games than expected they have a back-to-back against Houston in a week when the Rockets figure to be missing a few players. Never understood why this was supposed to be a tanking year for the Kings even before factoring in that lots of stuff can change in a hurry with covid.

What a game! Haliburton is going to be such a good player I'm excited. The 3 small guards looked good together.

I hate that Barnes plays like this and then will disappear some games. If he was this guy all year, the kings would be such a different team.

Also very surprised by the shortened roster. 9 guys in an OT game? Wonder if GRIII cracks the rotation as some point?

Feels good to be able to bring a player whiteside level in after Bagley and Holmes fouled out.

I'm not going to get ahead of myself, but I didn't think the kings would be the worst team in the league or a bottom 5 team as some said. I think we are right there with the rest or the 8-14 in the west and could easily finish 8-10 again
