DeMarcus Cousins hates the Clippers

Energy!

Prediction

This is tough. The Clippers are really, really good. I don't know that they won't be the second or third best team in the entire NBA this season considering all the improvements they made to an already solid roster this summer. With that being said, I'm predicting this under the premise that the Kings are a good basketball team. A good basketball team takes what they learned in a previous outing, makes the appropriate adjustments, and competes at a higher level the next time out. That is particularly true when you play the same team in such a short period of time. The back-to-back, late-night travel is a factor, but the Kings have more to play for tonight. Kings take it 105, 102.
