Kings (10-7) vs Nuggets (14-6)

Keegan is back tonight and Jamal Murray remains out for Denver with Aaron Gordon being a game time decision. Hoping for a good game tonight to tighten some things up before the in season tourney game on Monday.

The pace and team oriented game lends itself to getting crushed on b2bs, but doing some crushing of opponents on b2bs, and Denver is on one. I expect a win

JaVale!

[BoogieTime]

this is the game I expected

and its now Domas third bad game... if I had to nitpick. The pendulum swinging to Fox this year, after Domas being solidly the Kings best player last year, is surprising to me to start the season. But the season has just started, and I'd still take Domas if I had to have one going forward though. This trend would have to continue a lot longer for that to change. Fox has been very nice this year

[BoogieTime]

Props to the bench, and Javale has had some good spots lately, as much as I haven't been a fan and want Alex back

3 layups in a row for Denver after halftime....

[blind prophet]

Sure one was a quasi fast break but 6 layup attempts in a row for Denver, then a turnover attacking the basket..

[blind prophet]

8 attempts at the basket in a row lol

[blind prophet]

Ok ends at 8.

I'm a little concerned.

[FarBeyondDriven]

borderline. Call should stand

[FarBeyondDriven]

Nuggets need all hands on deck to beat the better teams in the NBA in the playoffs. Failing to address their guard depth knowing Murray's injury history could be their downfall. I won't take too much pleasure from winning this game with Murray out. It's expected. Games like this aren't even all that enjoyable to watch tbh.

if Sabonis would take and make those wide open 15-18 footers he'd be in the MVP race. It'd open up things for everyone else. It's a shame he can't because he looked like he was on that path when he was with the Pacers years ago. Not sure what happened

[FarBeyondDriven]

k, Javale has got to at least help stop the bleeding

[FarBeyondDriven]

in for 10 seconds and already a turnover and foul involving Javale. Grrr

[codydaze]

Good way to end a quarter that was slipping away from us. Get Fox in the game and good things happen.

He's done a decent job with wide open 3's this year.

But if he just took 1 out of maybe 3 of those open jumpers and made them reliably, it would do wonders for the team. Open things up even more, maybe could drive by a close out defender, open up the offensive boards etc.

[blind prophet]

That's too bad we could of put them away with Jokic out but Denver closes it to 5.

[FarBeyondDriven]

he didn't even attempt to block that layup. Get him tf out of there. How have we not been able to address the most glaring need we've had for years i.e. shot blocking 4/5 that can spell Sabonis and play alongside him in two bigs lineups? I know he has fleeting moments like in the first half but he's just so old and inconsistent we need to do better.

[FarBeyondDriven]

wow, Monk is so athletic

[FarBeyondDriven]

that's just great work there by Sabonis with the offensive rebound and great feed. Good stuff
