Idk how y’all get your Nostradamus. I must not know all the rules or something cause I can’t just refresh all day on game days. Kudos to the ones on here consistently getting their predictions in. It’s impressive
Thanks I figured that but I seem to have this luck where I am able to predict the days it doesn’t get posted. I know the crew running this site has a ton on their plate and they provide all this content for free so I don’t want to come off as complaining. Perhaps the prediction posts language should change from “Welcome back to our Fan Predictions contest! Before each game we will be asking five questions, each worth 1 point each. At the end of the season, the user with the most points will be crowned the winner!”
He seemed uncertain of himself last game. Tonight he seems to understand that without Fox, it’s his job to create opportunities for the offense at the point of attack. He came out aggressive early.
Kings just got to be much better defensively. Pels not feeling the effects of missing their top 2 stars when you’re gonna keep allowing them to get so many layups. Pels already with 24 points in the paint in that 1st quarter. Not surprisingly, Kings are down 8 and the Pels are +8 points in the paint. Fix that and things should start going in the Kings favor
I forget the team that had a really smooth- and fast-talking, somewhat monotone, female commentator. She sounded young but using an old-school style. I really liked the job she did.
Just simply terrible basketball by the Kings. Getting absolutely bullied and pushed around by a team that just had a 10 game losing streak and is missing their 2 best players. What a disappointing performance
Davion has been a big disappointment lately which sucks because I’m a big believer in him. I still think he could have a Kyle Lowry type career, but he’s a long way from being Lowry.
What happened was Lyles was yelling at the ref, Herb Jones was running back down the floor then bumped into Lyles and thought Lyles was getting into it with him. Hence the double tech.
I’m watching the Pels feed though. Antonio Daniels saw the whole thing because he described it in full detail. LOL
He started jawing with Lyles after he bumped into Lyles. Basically Trey Lyles went after the ref, Jones bumped into him started jawing with him even though Lyles was going after the ref. Bad luck mainly for the young man.
Pelicans are missing their 1st, 2nd, and arguably 3rd best player and we’re down by 18. We have our best player playing and we suck. The defense is offensive. They’re a step slower than the team that just played a back to back. Kelvin has shown up and Keegan is passive.
This is the same team that lost 10 straight, 8 without Ingram.

They don’t do it every game.
There wasn’t a Nostradumbass today.

Second night of a SEGABABA for the opponent? Oh, crap.
And they scored 130… when was the las time the Kings even scored 130?
No Fox but Pels missing their best 2 players + Jonas and are on the backend of b2b and have been struggling for weeks. Kings gotta win this game
The Kings don’t look like they know what they are trying to run right now. Ay ay ay.
telegraphing passes like they did in Indiana.
Once again, the team who played yesterday looks like they have more energy to start the game than the Kings do for whatever reason
Pels scoring easily at the rim and the Kings playing sloppy with 3 early turnovers
We look like shit so far.
Someone other than Domas has to actually attempt a shot, and I know this is a weird concept, look to score.
This group looks so lost without De’Aaron Fox right now.
Given all the Kings turnovers, an open mid-range shot from Mitchell seems like a good option
Huerter is getting burnt to a crisp
If Huerter isn’t gonna be hitting his shots then he needs to at least provide something on the defensive end.
Passed a layup to take a corner 3 then gave up an easy layup on the other end. Not his best sequence ever.
Finally Davion. Finally.
He seemed uncertain of himself last game. Tonight he seems to understand that without Fox, it’s his job to create opportunities for the offense at the point of attack. He came out aggressive early.
Well TD made his first 3… hopefully that’s a thing.
Terence Davis’ energy will be huge again tonight.
Slow start, except for Davion, who looks good.
Did Nance Jr just flop on Davion?
layup drills for the Pels this whole quarter
We’re not winning any game where we can’t score 100
Deli’s hot… feed Deli.
Kings look lost without Fox lol. Where’s those people clamoring about replacing him with Davion???
That was just Bill Simmons and his special brain
And dumb Kings fans on Twitter. Wasn’t just Simmons.
We’ve got our fair share of Fox haters here too. Been quiet lately, though.
Good call.
Also on that 1985 to forever FB group lol
This Fox secret absence is really annoying.
One can hope he and wife and child is doing well
Has she had the baby yet?
Nobody knows, and if they do they’re not talking.
I hope Domas gets really selfish this game. Who on the Pels can stop him? Nance started for the Pels at center.
Nice drive n kick from TD to Trey!!!
Bench looking good.
Saving the game so far. This team would be dead RN. The beginning by the starting group was horrible.
I love watching Dellavedova in the open court. I assume the wood is weakening and cracking as he dribbles.
Davis looks like he’s having fun out there.
Cut off the foray’s into the lane, and get yourselves to the line and you should be okay. Given what transpired, an 8 pt lead isn’t that bad.
Also, the bench scored 19 points of the Kings 26 total in that 1st qtr.

Pels on back to back and without 3 starters . A must win and time to do it !
Last nights Pels’ win against the Lakers was a really satisfying game to watch.
Pels commentators are a horror show.
I enjoy them, personally. But YMDV on who is and isn’t good on the mic.
I forget the team that had a really smooth- and fast-talking, somewhat monotone, female commentator. She sounded young but using an old-school style. I really liked the job she did.
Malunk? Alleyoop!
Good to see that Domas And1!!! Aggressive drive by Davion, too. Getting them involved will help the Kings win tonight.
Murray and Barnes are a big fat zero tonight.
Everything going the the basket the rest of the half forcing whistles.
28 to 24 paint points advantage now. Excellent job by the Kings to close that gap after the huge lead they spotted the Pels in that department.
They’re going to need to pray like hell they can get out of Houston with a split.
The fact that Keegan passed a layup to kick out for a 3 illustrates how badly he’s struggling RN.
Mark Jones called it the right play lol dude there was an open lay
Totally. Stop thinking and fucking shoot. He should be looking fir his especially with Fox out. It’s a bit irritating.
Hey Kayte what do you do if you can’t buy a bucket??? Get to the line!
She makes it sound like we’re the only team that is tired.
Kings defense looks like shit.
The only consistency we’ve seen from them over the last two weeks.
Pels making it a point to go right at Domas a lot and are having a ton of success
Our starters suck, hopefully they pick it up
this team looks exhausted
They look mentally checked out too.
Kings have no offensive flow, have no offensive rhythm, and no clue where to look for their shots. It’s like they’ve never played before together.
So it’s the “dog days” of the season and the Kings are tired Kayte?
So nice to not listen. To Kings broadcast.
Just simply terrible basketball by the Kings. Getting absolutely bullied and pushed around by a team that just had a 10 game losing streak and is missing their 2 best players. What a disappointing performance
Huerter and Murray are total shows !
Far too often. Huerter has to be hitting his 3s or he’s almost useless. His D is not good.
Kings without Fox are making the best All-Star case for Fox than anything he’s done himself
With no Fox, Murray and/or Herter should be stepping up their O but they are doing the opposite. It’s gross. Had to stop watching.
Disgusting. I hope these no name pelicans beat these suck ass kings by 40. Did they spend the last 48 hours downing hurricanes on Bourbon street?
Starters have scored 11 points. That’s it. 11 points.
Davion, Murray, Herter all look like they don’t know what to do on O. Fucking be aggressive.
This is just pitiful effort by the Kings.
I think you can stick a fork in this one. I had them for a loss, but I at least expected a competitive game.
Davion has been a big disappointment lately which sucks because I’m a big believer in him. I still think he could have a Kyle Lowry type career, but he’s a long way from being Lowry.
Unfortunately, he’s strictly defense. No shooting and no play making.
Sometimes he’ll hit a little dribble move and create 15 feet of separation from his defender and I just think “why can’t he do this all this time?”
I think he could- meaning, try to get into the lane because he can. But he’s standing around not being aggressive for whatever reason. Like Keegan.
Davion is garbage
Maybe everyone partied too hard to monks 25th?
This is piss poor
It’s a simple game, really. Dribble pass and shoot. And defend, which is just hussle. Kings can’t figure it out anymore.
How come the fans at Smoothie King arena are audibly from my TV, chanting “refs you suck” after the no call foul on Lyles?
What happened was Lyles was yelling at the ref, Herb Jones was running back down the floor then bumped into Lyles and thought Lyles was getting into it with him. Hence the double tech.
I’m watching the Pels feed though. Antonio Daniels saw the whole thing because he described it in full detail. LOL
They called a double tech on that? What did Jones do to get a tech?
He started jawing with Lyles after he bumped into Lyles. Basically Trey Lyles went after the ref, Jones bumped into him started jawing with him even though Lyles was going after the ref. Bad luck mainly for the young man.
Who wants to make a bet that Kayte talks at least one more time about how the Kings are tired and it’s the “dog days” of the season?
70 point half for a team missing its 2 leading scorers sums up how the Kings looked out there with that “effort”
Kings gave up 70 points in a half to a team missing 3 starters.
…playing its 3rd game in 4 nights, including last night, and yet somehow the Kings are the ones who look 2 steps too slow on both ends of the floor.
Like Kayte said. They’re tired because it’s the “dog days” of the season.
And it’s such a hilarious comment when the Kings have played fewer games than a TON of teams have thus far
We need to talk about Davion Mitchell…
Good defensive boost off the bench, but shouldn’t be counted on for anything other than that.
let him shoot his long range two
Eddie, you’ve got to start thinking with ur head and not ur heart. Hes borderline unplayable at the moment
“Davion is garbage” is thinking with your head?
thank you Yakshi

This is the same team that lost 10 straight, 8 without Ingram.
Tonight’s loss puts them just a game ahead of the Clippers and 3 games out of the 10th spot.
