Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
Kings back at it tonight in an In Season Tourney game against the current top team in the West. We've struggled against them in the past as well so I'm expecting a tough game.

Let us see if our smaller guys can offset their front line

interesting wrinkle in the starting lineup going small with Duarte/Huerter/Barnes. Huerter has been statistically better at the three in the past
but I think it has more to do with shoring up the bench. need Trey Lyles to not have too much McGee and Sasha if ineffective like last game. they gave up the game in their opening bench stint in New Orleans

Let's see if the Wolves are just some hype tonight.

Just keeps your hands up Sabonis Gobert isn't a big time scorer.

Sabonis gamely face shot just a minute into the game.

Why can't we get this version of Barnes every game?

Excellent start, hope we continue to make our shots, a 64% from 3pt range is outstanding.

Fox starting to get real fed up with never getting a whistle.

Well, that was fun while it lasted...Fox not at his best, let's see if he can carry the team in the second half

Fox three ball is falling again tonight. Also, how is that a foul? He pulled the chair on KAT and Towns just fell into him.

Refs not giving Fox anything.

Kessler Edwards making a solid contribution

Very nice win. Should be locked into the top spot for the In Season Tourney even if GS gets the win tonight unless they absolutely blow SA out and close the point differential gap.

Great game. that was the star Fox and the good 6th man Monk out there tonight, redeeming that last game in NO
That bench unit with Kessler was solid. and mcgee +16 in 8 minutes, got to give him credit when the opposite happens
when Barnes contributes like that, we are good

4-2 on the road trip is indicative of a good season if we start some home dominance

Excellent bounce back performance from those NO games.

Roster depth is already paying off - we have 15 players that can contribute anytime when needed.
Fox / Ellis / Mitchell
Huerter / Monk / Colby
K. Murray / Duarte / K. Edwards
Barnes / Lyles / Vezenkov
Sabonis / Len / McGee
Just look at Denver's bench unit tonight. Our depth would be more advantageous as the season progress.

And something "somehow" positive. Pelicans are crushing Clippers as well. On the road.
Also Rockets just beat Denver. I am not gonna pretend like these two losses are acceptable, but that's something.
As the parity grows, matchups thus coaching is becoming more important. I hope MB and his crew can adjust, because loosing two consecutive games to the same time -twice- is lowkey disheartening.
