The
Sacramento Kings scope (20-13) are 5th in the West despite having a
13th place Offensive Rating (115.9) and
17th place Defensive Rating (115.2) and only a
net rating of +0.7The Kings fortunes seem to be the opposite of
the Raptors (14-20) who are 12th in the East with a
17th place Offensive Rating (114.3) and a
15th place Defensive Rating (115.0) with a
net rating -0.7All-in-all it should be a much more even matchup than the records would indicate.
Will this be the game?

So late. **** west coast road trip.
Should be a fun game, but I have a feeling this will be our toughest game yet, could easily be an L.

Siakam should have a good game. He struggles against great rim protection or mobile defenders with size, Kings have neither.
Excited to see if IQ can slow Fox down a bit.

I expect no less than five 3s from Monk.
They have actually been starting Duarte because of how awful Huerter has been all season.
Winnable game IMO. Let's get this.

We don’t really have anyone that can guard Monk or Fox but they also don’t have anyone that can guard our wings.
Should make up for a fun game, or an early bed time if we can’t keep up with their fire power.

Kings look shaky the past two games against Charlotte and Magics so I won't be surprise if the Raps can pull this off

Siakam struggled mightly against SAC last year. 23/8/7 on 48TS%

Should be a good game, I expect us to exploit their bad defence.

Lol, love the backhanded compliment for Siakam. I wouldn't say Siakam struggles much these days. Maybe he's gotten slowed a bit by constant double teams with no one to pass to? Now that we actually have a couple of legit 3 point threats around, I don't seem Pascal "struggling" too often.

Spicy BBQ pizza confirmed in Sac'to.
BTW, why was Devlin saying "Sac'to tomato" in last game's commentary? Anyone else catch that?

Raptors would make a statement with a win in this one. Kings are tough.

Hoping Kings will still be tired from double OT game, they played the night before that game too.

Don't know where to post this:
Against the cavs, starters were a combined -1, bench +16
Against the grizz, starters were a combined-1, bench +26
Thank you Knicks for giving us the extra player. Our bench led by Schroeder became able with a starter or 2 sprinkled.
Let's see if the trend continues or perhaps the starters will finally click in the 4th. All they need is to share the ball an play like in the first 3 quarters, no hero ball.In other words, relax.
