Good news: Kings kept it close for 1 half
Bad news: They'll be down 25 going into the 4th quarter

Genius!

You know, we get it. The Kings suck and you have been a loyal fan for years of sucking. But, it's kind of old when you post how they are going to lose every game.

Both West coast games are really good ones

I'm not trying to get some kind of sympathy or talk up how I'm such a super loyal fan. I guess I could talk more about the positives for the young players instead of saying they always lose, but I'm also not gonna act as if I expect them to win games they're more than likely gonna lose.

Kings pretty impressive tonight I will say that, even without Durant or Steph I thought they'd fold in the 2nd half and they've put themselves in position to win.

I hear ya, but I'm not asking you to 'act like' anything. And you can do what you want, just saying it gets old 'oh we will be down by 25 in the 4th'. When in fact without Curry and Durant the Kings may win this.

God damn it. I know these games don't 'matter', but the Warriors are going to need HCA more than ever this year, and looks like they will win fewer games than Houston, probably Boston.

To be fair, I only said that about the game tonight because the Warriors are well known for destroying the souls of their opponents in the 3rd quarter.

Yeah I was hoping that too, but without Curry and Durant maybe they don't have that soul destroyer spell.

Great win Kings, snapped a 9 game road losing streak(only other road win was first road game).

So...is Durant's ankle lowkey more fucked up or something? No one is talking about it but this is like the 4th or 5th game he's missed.

Must be kind of rough. He missed some time last year too so I'm not too worried (yet). I'm more worried that the rest of the league has apparently closed the gap noticeably, and good for them. We don't hear about how unfair the Warriors are anymore.

Oh, look...

Blake might have a season ending injury.

What a shit show.

Sorry @Mecca

They played great. If they could just stay that focused all game, every game they could do some damage. They are off to a great start of the season; I keep waiting for the wheels to come off, but have my fingers tightly crossed that they have grown up.

The only knock against the Pistons for me is Stanley Johnson.

He might be a bust.

But, it's still early.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Sorry @Mecca

* starts scouting Porter, Bagley, Ayton and Doncic*

 

[BottleWalk]

Well the main injury in the nba right now is the injury to John Wall, even though the Wizards when healthy are not as good as the celts or cavs. It'll be a good test of the wiz to see how competitive they can be without him and how dimensional they are, and this is where Brooks earns his money.....

At least Lou Williams upped his trade value tonight.
