That Xmas tree lacks defensive skills. Does that mean it suits up for the Kings?

Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays y’all.

Also, the Pels have not woken up. They are losing in Miami. I guess this isn’t a big deal to New Orleans. /shrug

I would have disliked Precious as the Kings pick, but the Heat is a good team for him, and he’s doing okay.

Miami would have stuck an enema up DeMarcus Cousins ass when he was being unprofessional until he learned how to behave and conduct himself appropriately. That’s just how they roll.

And Cousins time in Sacramento very well might be the most unprofessional conduct of any NBA player throughout the NBA’s history.

I know if I were Erik Spoelstra I wouldn’t even think of leaving Miami until Pat Riley really retires. If that is ever such a thing.

yeah.
With what we hear now out of Houston, Harden got the same treatment as DMC got here; zero accountability. That rarely works, long term.

Harden’s a better talent though. Smarter about how he goes about his basketball business, IMO. It makes a difference in the final analysis.

Yes and no. Obviously Harden is a better talent.

I think all players expect and accept stars getting star treatment, but up to a point. Beyond that, it can cause grumbling and chemistry issues.
Similar stories surfaced about the Clippers and Kahwi.

Yeah, there were culture issues inside the Clip Joint, for sure. OTOH, Montrezl Harrell will never be as valuable as Kawhi. Or Paul George. And that’s just how the NBA has always worked.

The NBA is a tough animal because you have to mix all the ingredients correctly and still hope it works.

Merry Christmas y’all. Wife loved her gift basket from Carter Imports and I my Kings Herald shield T-shirt.
Looks like the Warriors would be better suited against there rivals the Cleveland Cavaliers today.

Merry Christmas everyone! Even Tim!!

As I watch Wiseman play great, what happens first, Kings make the playoffs or Kings play on Christmas?

You would think playoffs because bad teams don’t often play on Christmas, but Pelicans are a team that played on Christmas before making the playoffs with this roster, so if the Kings lucked out on Cade or something and the league wanted to feature a young star like Zion in one of the Christmas Day games, it could happen.

I’m thinking the Kings win more games than GSW this year. No, I do not think Draymond is going to be able to save this roster.

Interesting having our Mark Jones doing a national game. Like it was weird the first time he did a Kings game. I preferred the single color jerseys with the Dr. Seuss script on Christmas Day.

Watching the Warriors getting destroyed 12 times this year on National TV… Pretty pretty cool.
