GT #35 | Raptors @ Kings| January 5th, 10:00PM EST Sportsnet

[TheAlchemist23]

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 +0.7

The 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 -0.7

All-in-all it should be a much more even matchup than the records would indicate.

Will this be the game?

[TorontoBarneys]

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.

[WuTang_CMB]

I will fly to NY and bring them Lucali (best pizza in the world) if they get this win

[Jadoogar]

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.

[MiamiSPX]

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.

[Hero_Panda]

Always hated these late night, California road trips.

GIMME PIZZA

P-I-Z-Z-A

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%

Pizza party time boys

San Antonio getting pick #13 *manifest*

[Scase]

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

[sbsat]

Going to be a high scoring affair

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?

[AndreasLeftCalf]

[Madhouse]

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

[Mak]

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

[mihaic]

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.
