    I want to say Silas needs to realize running the offense through Harden is the way. But Harden had legs to finish the game because everyone was eating.

    Wall has always been a smart player and that’s where the upgrade was. Not scoring or rebounding because Russ is still a more explosive scorer. The difference is Wall will ultimately make the right decisions

    To anyone that think this game shouldnt have been close, should watch how good this young kings team is. Barnes hasnt looked this good in a while and fox is the real deal. We were lucky bagley was off tonight, him and holmes are christian wood-lites.

    Good win, you can tell the john was pressing quite a bit, and wood missed some weakside picks that wouldve opened up our corners.

    wood does all the big things well. catches the ball, jumps high, rolls to the rim well, hits shots, blocks shots. he does all the little things like he's never played basketball before and doesn't know that there are other people on the court besides him and he guy he's guarding. gonna be a slow process, if he ever gets it.

    great win. When they get the defense down and take advantage of their opportunities they will dominate. Their are easy baskets that Boogie can get to take the pressure off of John and James

    Yeah, the Kings haven't had an easy game yet and are 3-1....were 3-1.

    They are not elite or anything but they should compete for the playoffs all season long. Really, this is the toughest Western conference of all time. There isn't a single team in the west you can sleep on...well maybe the Grizz because Ja went down but other than that, all solid teams.

    People need to keep in mind this was Wall's first actual NBA minutes in 2 years.

    He looks really good for someone who hasn't played for 2 years. He's going to get his timing and stamina back but already he'd looking really fast out there.

    Team has a lot of firepower. They have to develope chemistry on both ends. Promising team and Wood looks so explosive finishing around the rim.

    Don't get too happy

    I'm expecting Harden to party tonight and go into covid protocol missing an entire week of basketball

    He sure shot the ball more than enough times tonight. I would much rather have shooters everywhere around Harden for when teams bring that half court double he can make them pay. Wall isn’t going to scare anyone if you leave him open if he continues to shoot this way which going off his career numbers is par for the course. If Houston makes the playoffs I can easily see it going the same way with how they play James with the double and packing the paint and daring wall to hit open 3s.

    Yes 18 TOs is too many for a game. The only saving grace was, the Kings had 15 TOs.

    Yeah he’s a black hole on the offensive side of the ball. Don’t care how much the guy scores. He gives up just as much. Would rather have Roco.

    Would've loved to see Nwaba play tonight, definitely think we could've used his defense, hopefully plays the second Kings game.

    The more we watch hardens greatness the sadder it’ll be when he is on another team in a few months.. you know it’s going to happen to
