3 THINGS TO LOOK FOR

1. For those of you attending the game, there will be a pre-game tailgate starting at 4:30 pm in Lot J. I'm sure there will be a lot of dedicated Kings fans and StR readers/commenters attending the tailgate, so if you can get off work a little early, see if you can get out to the tailgate.

2. The Kings didn't exactly have the most inspiring preseason, and this Warriors team that is coming into town is way better than any team the Kings actually did face in preseason. Sacramento has to be ready for what is an incredibly tough matchup. The Warriors are superior at almost every position, and even at SF and C, they have defensive answers (Iguodala and Bogut) to our offensive powers (Gay and Cousins).
