Kings favored by 4.5 points. Thought the Kings would be slightly bigger favorites against a 14-20 Raptors squad.

Don’t forget that Vegas doesn’t set the spread as a method of predicting the game winner but to try to equalize the betting on both sides. But I agree I would have thought that the point spread would have been bigger than that

He does so many things good but his handles and ability to control the ball when receiving or passing or just moving in traffic I don’t think is equaled in the league….. at his position.

Best Kings half all season.

Aside from missed free throws, it was brilliant.

Pacers scored 150 points tonight, maybe we can out score them.

Pretty good… All they need to do is starting shooting free throws from behind the arc and…..

Yeah, Raptors are 14 of 15 from the line and the Kings are 3 for 7.

Kings are the worst free throw shooting team in the NBA.

Pascal 6 points, 2 steals 4 assists and 3 rebounds in 17 minutes. Pretty good.

We’re consistently inconsistent. Hard not to think that we’re gonna blow this one.

Okay, so McGee gets in before Len again and Mitchell before Ellis. Based on their current level of play I have to believe that Brown and MM have come to an agreement…Len and Ellis are going to be the backups going forward so Brown needs to play McGee and Mitchell until the trade deadline so that MM can at least push back against the argument that neither is actually playing.

With his elite level of play, Domas is more of a lock for All Star than even Fox at this point.

It’s a disgrace that Fox isn’t even in the top ten at the backcourt position with his play and clutch shooting and leadership. Not a peep from any of the NBA TV Dream Team announcers when they were evaluating the first release of the vote tally.

I’m almost at the point where I hope we don’t get fouled so we don’t have to go to the line. That’s just sad thinking isn’t it?

Sabonis gets bated into more charges than anyone in the league.

For sure.

While the Raptors coaches were drawing up the play on the small whiteboard in the huddle Quickley was looking around.

Pretty easy win. Fun game to watch. I like the lower stress games like this one every once in a while.

Domas once again was elite.

Kings can beat any team but add the other teams security guards and things get froggy.
