bad matchup. a win would be really important. sort of a "break", if it was tennis.

I hope Dre takes this game as a personal thing, if he gives effort and try to beat hard Cousins we should win.

hopefully reggie and dre keep each other focused like last game, i really liked both their efforts vs. the blazers.

There have been games where AD has looked good against DC. When he runs hard and works the boards it puts a lot of pressure on DC. Of course, how well DC's outside shot is working is the converse. If they play well as a team they can win, stating the obvious. ;-)

The Kings aren't a total joke this year. I believe they are the 9th seed right now out west in a much tougher conference. This would be a huge win for us. They have lost 3 in a row, they probably view this game as a win. We need to change that.

Stanley should really be starting. Tobias is too damn good off the bench.

It would help if Marcus could be better than cringe-worthy.

Start SJ. Marcus Morris deserves to be on the bench. Also when was the last time we beat Sacramento in Sacramento ? We always seem to have a really hard time against that team

I would start Stanley and Tobias 2night. This game is important, especially when the next 2 games will be against Warriors and Jazz, so 2 really really tough opponents. If Baynes will get more minutes than Boban then.. I don't know man, but Stan coaching and rotation is so awkward. But for now, we can make it 3 straight. DEEEEEETROOOIT BASKETBAALLL!!

Boban absolutely needs to play tonight.

he's probably talking about the GSW game when we're down by 30.

Yeah I better see Boban tonight. I seriously think he's one of the funniest players I've seen in a long time. Dude is a legit giant just ripping down offensive boards with guys hanging off his arms. Seriously though after that game he had the other night how do you play Baynes over him? It's like Lawrence Frank playing Maxiell over Drummond.

Totally expecting Tolliver to go off and hit like 10 threes on us

PrivateZer0 · Post #18 » by **PrivateZer0** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 10:54 pm

The only reason I see Baynes playing is to possibly make him more attractive as a trade asset, but for practical purpose for winning games, Boban needs to be out there.

Wow they have Temple AND Tolliver starting for them? And you wonder why Boogie is oft frustrated.

Boogie is either going to drop 50 on us or he's going to have a quiet 20 pts.

Whatever he does should be Loud. Nothing quiet about him
