Fingers crossed for an effort like we saw on Monday. This is an important game and the Kings need to come out swinging. I don’t expect the hot shooting to repeat, but the effort most certainly is expected.

Yes, this game will tell us a lot

Fox not able to get his and Buddy's struggling a lot tonight. Going to need to change that in the 2nd half to have a shot.

Just not going to happen tonight. Down 21 now. Fox and Buddy sort of getting it going but can't stop the Spurs at all.

This Wright, Davis, Hield, Barnes, Metu lineup got us back in the game, but some missed layups and a foul on a 3 pointer on Meth pushed it back out to a 15 point lead into the 4th. Going to need a lot to get us a win here, but nice to see some fight from Buddy and the new guys.

Can’t win them all. Couldn’t shoot tonight.

The starting unit was slow to the punch, which ultimately lost the game. The team played catch up for the rest of the game, but the team was resilient in a way we weren’t seeing pre-deadline. The 2nd unit really played well and, as SmellingColors said, got us back into the game. They are really game-changing for the Kings. I am really excited for the rest of the season. Can’t be too mad at tonight’s loss.

I hope you left them very tired. Atlanta Hawks visit the Spurs tonight.

It required 2 overtimes but the Hawks did win last night at the Spurs house!!

GO KINGS! GO HAWKS! My east and west teams !!

It looks like Trae was amazing last night (especially in OT). He’s such a great player. I’m happy to see Bogi getting back into a rhythm too.
