Thanks for making the game thread, Neddy, and you're welcome.

I'm really worried about this game. Not only do we continue to be short-handed without Griffin and likely DJ, but coming off a "signature win" against Miami, I can see us letting up again and playing down to our level of competition to at least start the game. We started out slow against Miami before Doc made the necessary adjustments but we can't keep coming out flat, especially against a team like the Sacramento Kings. We better not be looking ahead to Monday's game in Houston.

As much of a mess that franchise is under owner Vivek Ranadivé, they're still a team that looks forward to playing us. DeMarcus Cousins, in particular, has a personal vendetta against us even if his primary target Griffin won't be playing. Hopefully, J.J. Redick or any other vital cog to the team will survive the rough encounter with the Boogie man. I'm pretty sure Darren Collison is up to showing us up if given the chance. Plus, Rajon Rondo and Rudy Gay are very dangerous players if we take them lightly.

I'm also concerned about this game. We are due for a poor shooting game and I'm not confident our effort will be there for the full 48 minutes on D to hold the kings back. It should be a super fun game to watch though!

If I recall correctly, there were some anecdotal evidence and footage that showed that Aldrich is an effective defender in the post, particularly against Cousins.

Geez...Aldrich missing and having a lot of shots blocked at the rim.

Yeah it looks like this is going to be a problem going forward with Aldrich not being able to finish those plays.

[nickhx2]

getting cousins his 4th foul would be pretty nice for us. i hope cole keeps getting some rolls to the basket.

Aldrich gotta make his FT's better

[nickhx2]

dmc definitely should have been called for his 4th for snapping chris's head back there.

[og15]

Foul trouble all around tonight

[mkwest]

Cousins "officially" picks up his 4th foul.

[og15]

Maybe it was the slow motion, but that did not seem like much of a bump by CP

[nickhx2]

completely garbage bs call on cp3 there.

[nickhx2]

the bench better give us a lead because i'm not sure the starters can lol.

[nickhx2]

i don't think austin rivers is the guy you want taking in your face 3 point shots.
