Must win situation tonight.
If we lose today, we will lose again later this week.
Kings are literally our kryptonite.They have been owning us.

Agree.
Against the Kings we need a good shooting night but we can destroy the boards again because they are small. Lob city will dominate.

Both teams coming off playing last night. Wouldn't surprise me if both teams came out slow tonight. Kings play fast. We must match there fast paced play as well. Drink up! Should be a good one tonight! One good note when we do play fast we look really really good.We just don't play fast very often lol

I hope Hardy gets some good minutes tonight after only playing 3 minutes last night. Having fresh legs on Night 2 of a B2B could be a big advantage, especially against a poor defender like Fox.

Hopefully! He deserves PT when THJ is off, and Luka and Kyrie need their down time.

Why though? Luka played 41 mins and you want to outrun the team who wants teams to run with them? That's completely the opposite of what you want to do in tough games. Play at your own pace, slow it down and let Luka kill them in half court. More pace = more running and less chance to set up the defenses. Kings are not exactly known for a great half court defense, so running with them makes no sense.

Play slow pace, dominate at rebounds, don't let wide open 3s and slow down Fox... That's enough for win.

If we go with our regular big guys, Sabonis will be out rebound.
But if we go with our pretty girl Maxi, Sabonis' stats will be like this: 29 points 28 rebounds and 13 assists.

Fox will also have a monster game against Luka, which is always the case.

The Kings haven't played us with Gafford and Washington. Stick to the game plan. That lob has been wide open with how their playing Luka and Kyrie. Just keep making the simple play if their gonna keep playing it that way.

They beat us twice this season, otherwise it's been pretty much an even series in recent years. Definitely far from a Kryptonite.

Seems like Luka will miss the game. He has achilles problem.

Damn, well hopefully he'll be back for game 2. We're unlikely to win this one.

I dont like the idea of Luka messing around with his achilles soreness.,He needs to be careful and pay attn to what your body tells you. And Maxi might miss too but thats not a big worry. This says try out OMax .
IF Luka and Maxi miss tonight. Lets go
Kyrie , Dante , DJJ , PJ , Gafford starting.
Lively, THJ , Hardy & Omax as the bench unit.
