It is:
1. Sactown Royalty Night I for the season. We have 995 — nine hundred and ninety-frickin-five — StR readers and friends of readers attending. Darn near 1,000 of y'all and y'alls compadres.
2. Here We Roar Night, in which the Kings try to break the Guinness World Record for loudest arena noise.
3. A sell-out night. The Kings opened up standing room only tickets on Thursday.
It's going to be a fun night.
MATCHUP OF THE GAME
Jennings is a seriously flawed point guard: he shoots a ton, he struggles finishing in the lane and it seems as though he has struggled to maintain strong relationships with teammates. That said, he's super quick and a pretty solid deep shooter. The Kings don't have much interior defense. Vasquez is not laterally quick. So Jennings could be in for a big night.
On the other end, Vasquez needs to keep plugging in the manner he did on Wednesday: attack with one eye on the basket and one on the rolling big man. Detroit has an almost gross amount of shotblocking available, so it'll be up to Vasquez to pick it apart.
3 THINGS I WILL BE WATCHING
2. Ben McLemore's shot selection. He took some Summer League shots on Wednesday. He had been working in the flow of the offense really well to that point. I expect this will correct itself.
