Why they are fully healthy and hot.


We are missing Ayo and White. They are just a team.

Fox was out for the Warriors, Heat and Celtics games they just won.

Also Mike Brown hadn't been playing Keon Ellis, who is their best defender and won them one of their recent games with some clutch defense and getting to the line to push it to OT.

The Kings are much better than their record. This 6 game win streak has started to even things out.

Fox is playing today. So what is your point.

That's why Giddey wears so much hair product! So he can get extra grip on his FT attempts! :D

Obviously the point is that this team is playing well/is better than they've shown.

They are better than their record suggests and have played well even without their best player. I thought I was clear about that, sorry.

Pat has 5 assists. That's actually an area that he's markedly improved upon this year.

We all slam AK for the Vuc / Wagner + pick trade, but AK's trade of the Donovan Mitchell pick for Trey Lyles is going to go down as one of the worst in history.

Pat even with this lineup, is unsure of what to do...

This is an awful 5 man group. Should never happen.

Patrick Williams still looks like he is processing info a second slow. Even when he does the right thing his motor looks like sh#%

Jalen Smith out there fighting for his life all on his own. That lineup wasn't doing him any favors.

We don't have a heap of options. Ayo & Coby are generally our lead guards when Zach has to sit. That's why he have to use this group.

I see two teams that have no chance and one has better rebounding. One actually has better shooters.

You are pumping a team that is nothing.

That dude definitely spends a lot of time on his hair. He’s better off cutting it so he can focus on basketball.

Big shot by THT. He is gonna have to make up for Coby being out. Can't rely solely on Zach and Vooch for the scoring here.

Who pumping them? All I said was that despite similar records I think they're better than us, so a win here would be a solid win.

You have to keep one of Zach or Vuc in for offensive purposes.

The Kings aren't a big team either, Trey Lyles is playing center. The Bulls need to put more effort into securing rebounds.

I can't even put into words the impact Lonzo Ball has when he's on the court. It's not even something you can regularly see in the stat sheet. I don't care what his numbers are, if he's a healthy player, he's worth whatever his asking price is.
