*** EARLY START ***
New look Kings will feature lots of WCS and Buddy.

Kings looked really good in their first game without Cousins, classic addition-by-subtraction. The whole team seems determined to prove they're not garbage without him. I'm not sure they can sustain it for the rest of the year (although it would be hilarious for them to barely edge out NOLA for the 8th seed) but we might be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

or the right place at the right time, depending on one's perspective.
This Charlotte team needs to lose every game possible between now and the end of the season for its own long-term good.
...although I'm sure they'll round into form and win some meaningless games down the stretch to sabotage their draft position.
So I'll be pulling for Sac.
The Kings did look awfully cohesive yesterday and WCS is a player. Wouldn't put it past them to defy expectations and finish ahead of NO.

Assuming Cody doesn't play tomorrow, who is Frank's backup? Wood or O'Bryant?

It's hard to see O'Bryant making the rotation so soon unless McCallum is just dumb as a brick! Clifford can't stand Wood for whatever reason so maybe Frank plays 48 minutes.

If O'Bryant checks in the game ahead of Wood, that would just be so damn cruel.

Cliff will split the minutes between Frank and Marv at center position. No way he will give Wood or O'Bryant significant minutes, it's Cliff

As bad as the team has played, only way we lose this game is if Kemba takes the night off and we start Roberts.

Did you miss how good the Kings looked last night? I'm not saying it's a guaranteed loss but it is also far from a guaranteed win.

Batum has no chance guarding Collison or Lawson. This game is very loseable. Tank on.

WCS might actually be a good basketball player. That will rustle some jimmies of some folks around here.

have to think MKG would guard one of them and Nic would guard McLemore.
I'd prefer we tanked though

Not me I was on the WCS bandwagon. We didn't have a chance at him though IIRC.
This is a must lose game. A top 6 pick is needed to save this season. Rest Kemba!

at the tank bandwagon. It's not going to happen, especially when Cody comes back.
This game is going to be an easy win.

hard to get excited about watching games when I cant decide if I want us to win or lose. I'd feel better about losing if I knew we weren't trying so hard to win.
