They had a damn good game against NOLA tonight. 18 for DMC, 20 and 11 ast (!) for Isaiah, and a whopping 41 for Rudy Gay. Maybe they'll be tired? ::grasps straws::
Hey all! No need to even say "beware" or "trap game" after they beat us TWICE, but... ★ Sactown is NOT a weak team any more! With Gay they are a 50% team, and they are only getting better. They already beat the Heat & the Blazers this month, as well as MEM and MIN - 2 teams with a great front court! ★ They have a trio of players averaging 20Pts or more!! (OK, Isiah Thomas is 19.5, you got me there...) That's a sick piece of data! Who has that? Any one of the 3 has had a 35-40pt game lately! (DMC 35 against Portland, IT 38 against OKC & Gay 41 tonight vs NOP). The support crue is not bad either, with Thornton, McLemore, Thompson & Derrick Williams. ★ Matchup-wise: They have a solid front court line (DMC is enough really...) and we are temporarily super-short and lacking in that department. (Jones, Smith & Asik out). We have to be at our best to win this, and we are seldim at our best when we don't feel outnumbered or outmatched... So yeah - it is a super trap game IMHO.
Gay's been riding high on his new team honeymoon, just like early in his tenure with the Raps. I hope Parsons is ready to play some lockdown d.
LOL... I hope you're saying that just to make fun of McHale's short rotations... It's kinda funny to compare a bench of 3 to a bench of 6 (Yes, the 8-player rotation...). You statement can't be serious because the lineup with Brooks, Garcia & Casspi (plus CP & DH) is actually the only lineup that outscored the Kings in that game (See game lineups). Also, our closing lineup (last 7 minutes) was pure-starters, and they are the ones that turned a 2-point lead into a 4-point loss... (see play-by-play)

if boogie played for a winning team and not in the blackhole that is sacto... he would be a legit MVP candidate every year
