Being seen as the #1 embarrassment in the league will do this to you'-- motivate you to play better i guess.

Why does Harden not shoot open catch and shoot 3s? He just holds the ball and allows the closeout.

Yes yes, another meltdown in order after that Nuggets collapse. Come on Kings, i know you're tired but cut this down to single digits and i think you have a shot. LOL

He prefers to feel the leather and dance with it.

Kings cut it down to 18 pts lead.

4 mins left in the 3rd.

May have taken an embarrassing loss to the Nuggets for Clippers to wake up.

16 minutes to go in this game.

Yeah, Kings appear to be tired after last night's classic vs Golden State. No use watching the rest of this game now so back to boxscore viewing LOL

They ruled this an attempt for Zion and ruined 11/11 FG night. Epic....

Probably Kawhis best game of the season, much more aggressive attacking the rim tonight. His defence all season has been underrated, probably the most locked in he’s been on a consistent basis on that end since he joined the clips

So in the offseason, I said that Jalen Williams was better than Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey. Then I heard how well Cade played for the USA select team. Then I watched Team USA get their ass handed to them in FIBA. I am going back to my original opinion that J-Dub is better than them. Which doesn't say much for the Pistons rebuild.

This is why you hate the NBA sometimes, since it's an 82 game grind, you get teams just not trying hard enough and give away these type of games for various reasons (mainly: tired). Can't blame the Kings for not showing up and credit to Clippers for taking advantage. The real question is in an 82 game season, what is the percentage of games that teams have pre-decided that they are just not going to give the minimum effort that night, 10? 15? 20? (Unless of course you're a very good team like the Nuggets, you can get away with resting people etc)

Put Zubac back in the game. Kings haven't been able to handle him.

Does Scott Hastings still do commentary for nugget games? Havent heard his voice in a long time. I know he still does lockeroom interviews.

Marlowe is hot garbage (as usual)
