Kings about to go above .500 for the first time this year. Perhaps the pre-season optimism was not misplaced.

edit: they put 153 on the Nets in regulation :lol:

Games of interest tonight: Celtics/Hawks (ESPN), Warriors/Suns (ESPN).
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Giannis is sooo cut from a different cloth than these other stars like KD and LeBron.

I’ve never seen such a talented guy be such a mental midget and terrible leader. Wow. These are bad even by KD standards.

I actually feel for KD in this to a degree. Guy is in the tail end of his prime and throughout all the BS that has happened in BRK, he's been turning up and carrying that team. He knows they can't win with the dross they're putting out on the floor. So in this regard I get his frustration. He's busting his ass on a rat ass team watching a year of his dwindling prime fade away.

But on the flipside, he willingly put himself in this situation so it's hard to feel that sorry for him. Guy could've stayed in GSW collecting rings and Finals MVPs but chose this path.

Luka out tonight and it's officially listed as "rest". That's rare.

I thought the heat KD took for going to GS was hypocritical. So much 'championships are all that matters, and athletes should do anything to win them' stuff out there and KD does what gives him the best shot at winning a ring and everyone is like 'not like that'. The guy played out 2 contracts in OKC I had no issue with him choosing a new team.

Now KD feeling sad because GS fans loved Steph more, that I don't feel bad about. That should have been obvious coming in.

The Brooklyn mess is something he's had a big hand in so no sympathy there.

KD's a **** clown and I can't roll my eyes hard enough every time Bill Simmons or Zach Lowe refer to him as a "Top-15 player ever". Nah dawg, that ship has sailed. Being a garbage teammate and toxic presence to whatever organization you play for absolutely diminishes the talent you bring to the table and negatively affects your team's chances of winning championships. Same reason why I criticize Lebron's mercenary selfishness & roster meddling (although he's nowhere near as bad as KD) and dock him points in all these manufactured GOAT debates. Love watching Kevin play basketball but it would be such a damn chore to ever root for him as a person.

KD doing (saying) KD stuff.

Why on earth would anyone be surprised by anything he says anymore? He is who he is, a gutless clown.

Didn't know so many here had such a negative opinion on KD. The burner thing was weird but the guy is just sensitive.

KD is officially on the list of guys I don't want on my Bucks under any circumstance. Impossible to cheer for.

I'll take him. Giannis will put him under his wing.

“Look at our lineup. Jevon Carter, Marjon Beauchamp, Jordan Nwora, Brooke Lopez and me. I’m not disrespecting our players, but do you expect us to win because I’m out there?” -Things Giannis will never say
