They are the fastest team in the NBA and we are on a B2B after a 2OT win. Just hope we can dictate the pace of this game.

I hope for a lot of minutes for Noel and a win.

But if the Kings win and that would help them getting into the playoffs over the Lakers I would not mind that much.

Fastest team in the league by far after OT. Worst opponent possible.

Russ is clearly in a better shape. Too early to know if he can get his shot back (probably not) but still good to see him being able to attack the paint like he used to.

The Kings at full strength are our daddy. After tonight we'll be 1-3 against them and our only win came when they were missing, like, three or four of their top five or six players. The other two games we fell behind by double-digits early and played catch-up the rest of the game.

I know tonight we're on very tired legs, but still...we'd lose to them in a best-of-seven. We don't match-up with them well at all.

This got to be one of the worst shooting displays I've ever seen.

But it's kinda expected. Team looks completely deflated after that double OT last night.

And, my extreme pessimism aside, this is about the worst possible match-up for us on the second night of a back-to-back coming of a double OT game. We've scored 37 points and it's almost halftime. Our legs are clearly gone.

Doesn't help that they're making some tough shots.

Really frustrating game. I mean it's expected for the most part, but still very frustrating.

One guarantee: a fully healthy Kings team will score 120+ on us.

Why can't we defend these guys?

Ferguson is having a very good year but after watching Donovan Mitchell and Hield killing him, that's when you miss Roberson :(

It looked like WCS might still moving/sliding into position after Russ gathered and went up to the basket. It wasn't a horrible call, but it was borderline/iffy. Could've gone either way.

Even on our home floor we can't get a borderline/50-50 call in a close game.

That's so stupid. We had the time to have 2 possessions with 1 time out.
