I have to say no matter the outcome, I don't have the hate for the Kings like I do for GS.

Hate to miss this one - not sure I can stay up. Really enjoying the sub lineup.

I hate the late whistle call. Either it's a foul or not. Don't wait to see if it goes in or not to make the call. Ruins the objectivity of the game and brings in potential biases.

our bench is playing pretty well, they need to tighten up the def a bit

We are better shooting threes without the Jays.

Better ball movement and accuracy.

Well, that's because a much higher percentage of the threes are coming off the pass and not the dribble, or at least off the high screen dribble and not just the iso stepback non-sense.

  • GOT IT!!!
I was about to say early on that they looked checked out but I gave them some more time. Playing pretty good team ball and the Kings are a really good matchup for the C’s even without Tatum. No wing to worry about and don’t play good defense.

Yeah we are getting good wide open 3s.  Sac isn't really playing very good def.  Would like some more variety with the drives mixed in.  I guess Jrue and JB have done that.

JB's passing has been so much better in recent games.

Hate to miss this one - not sure I can stay up. Really enjoying the sub lineup.

Such a pleasure to watch without the ball stopping so much. Even Brown has not gone stupid in Tatum's absence.

(Until that dribble, dribble fall-away 20' atrocity)
The Four Celtic Generals:
Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

The Four Celtic Lieutenants:
Cousy - Havlicek - McHale - Pierce

JB has 5 assists already, and only 7 shots.   He is playing pretty under control tonight.

Did we win the challenge? I didn't understand a freaking thing the ref said.
