    If this game is one-tenth as fun to watch as the 2OT Mav win over the Lakers, the Kings will win by 20 again with a Sabonis triple-double.

    It’s really hard for me to find a greater joy in sports than to see the Lakers play their heart out and get robbed by the refs twice so that they end up getting their souls crushed in a second overtime. I almost teared up.

    I was graced to boo Kobe at a championship parade on Main St., Disneyland USA by happenstance. I immediately went the other side of the park where the rides had no lines.

    Man, I’m hoping the Kings have an easy game tonight. The Spurs are going to come out on Sunday hard……they got crushed tonight by the Dubs and lost by 31. They were down by 39 at one point.

    well, we’re still left the mystery of why they think it’s a good marketing strategy. I mean, ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. It has a high viscosity. That’s why it gets stuck to the bottle, and modern design changes to the bottle allow gravity to slowly pull the ketchup near the dispenser and a squeeze-bottle allows extra force to get it out. But dish soap has a low viscosity. There’s no difficulty with it.

    I predict the Kings will have 7 guys in double figures by the time it’s all said and done, more if it’s a blowout. Rockets might have 4.

    That’s generally a good sign, Green’s 25 points not withstanding.

    If the Rockets can ever get a proper point guard to play next to Jalen Green, watch out. They might be the one tanking team that would be better off with Scoot Henderson than Wemby

    He can play on my team.

    He has a fair number of minutes on the second team as he plays longer into the 1st and 3rd quarters.

    The Rockets are like other young NBA teams. They lack playmaking depth on the second team and that hurts Jalen on occasion. He is a hybrid guard, when they get a true point guard they can grow with they will show a lot of improvement.

    He reminds me a lot of Bradley Beal or (young) Devin Booker – he can score a zillion points and is theoretically capable of being the primary ballhandler but ideally you want him at the 2 with a proper PG initiating the offense.

    I see his 40% FG and 32% from three, and I see Sengun, who can clearly facilitate, and I just don’t understand why he’s so inefficient. I guess the dropoff in talent among the other three starters is putting too much pressure on him.

    Many teams do exactly what the Kings did to him in the second half. They trap and double team him and he tends towards TO’s in that circumstance, which affects, I think, his shooting. He is still raw, but so athletic…they are asking him to do an awful lot. To your point. He had 25 points in the first half and 2 in the second. So, you have a point.

    That’s an excellent description of his game. He has athleticism coming out of every pore, and he can flat shoot. He needs work on his D. I have watched him a dozen times this year. He is going to be some kind of player. Beal is an excellent comparison. He isn’t as physical as an early years Beal. But he will be some day.

    Fox is as good a backcourt player as any guard in the Western Conference and, his clutch statistics put him in a strong position to make the team. He has played, so far, all but a few games in the first half of the season. That tips the scale in my mind in his favor over others who are equally impactful players for their teams.

    I agree with you guys but we already know the All-Star is always just about popularity and the Kings have gotten no respect league wide forever(their history the past 16 years not helping them) and are never on national tv to showcase themselves. I hope I’m wrong but I can’t see them giving the Kings 2 All-Stars. I do think Fox finds a way to make it though in the end.
