When I saw Jamal in that pic I instantly thought about this for some reason: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLSH-81yT7s[/youtube]

I think our good luck charm wants me

[LACtdom]

I'm very happy with this matchup for our first game. Kings will be a good challenge yet hopefully a W for us to start with momentum.

[mttwlsn16]

Is it confirmed that Lance will start at the 3?

[BlzMwt]

who is starting at the 4 for sacremento? rudy gay? willie cauley-stein? i feel like he's going to get abused by blake

[nickhx2]

if, by he, you mean any of the above you'd be right. they're all gonna get wrecked by blake.

from what i understand though, wcs was drafted to be a center so cousins could play PF, his preferred spot. regardless, blake is gonna clown him too.

[LACtdom]

Cousins is underrated. I really like the 'mature' Cousins. It will be fun to watch Blake and Boogie match up together.

[Quake Griffin]

tough game.

new pieces in Sac. I expect them to play a real energized game.
1st game of the season a trap game? I think so.

[mattd13]

clips need this game. set the tone for a good start to a long season. go clips. we win.

[BlzMwt]

holy, cousins at the 4, isn't fair. 6'11, 270. If the man gets his attitude in check and the king's new roster meshes they could be dangerous. Best to get this win before that happens

[nickhx2]

story of cousins's nba career, though. if if if if if if if

not saying he'll never get it together, but all those "ifs" are mostly because of his own handiwork.

It would be good if we can get this game. The Kings have added some talent in the off season and we'll see tonight if they can put it together. Plus Cousins is trying to prove that he is the best Center in the NBA. I can't watch this game so I'll keep up with the boxscore.

Dan Woike, Orange County Register (10/27/15)

He’s supremely confident in his place with the Clippers, the franchise where he says he wants to finish his career.

“Hell, I never imagined I’d leave New Orleans, but there’s no question this is where I want to be,” he said. “I want to win. Here.”

And he doesn’t want that ring to seal his narrative – at least not in the same ways he might’ve in the the past. Because somewhere along the way, Paul came to a realization. It’s not about him finally winning; it’s about him winning a title as part of a team.

“There’s nothing wrong with having goals. And at one point, I was like, ‘I’m going to do this, I’m going to do that.’ And then at some point it clicks, and it becomes ‘We’re going to do this,’” he said. “I think all of us are at that point.

“The goal isn’t, ‘I’m going to win a NBA title.’ No, it’s, ‘We’re going to win a NBA title.’”

Man, I hope Doc gives the rook a chance to play just so he can be extra motivated to stick to the Kings for that disrespectful lack of accommodations. How can a modern-day sports venue not be prepared or equipped to host a visiting professional basketball team. I guess it's a stretch to call Sleep Train Arena a "modern-day sports venue" since it opened back in 1988. Even still, you can't afford to do some remodeling since then?


Update: I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise but there goes Dawson's chance at retribution as Doc isn't activating him tonight. Also, no surprise that we're favored tonight by the odds-makers.
