    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?

    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.

    I have good seats to this game. Hopefully they make it worth it.

    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.

    Rudy Gay is going to go for 40...

    ...shots.

    He will make 10 of them.

    Thomas, Gay and DMC love destroying the Rockets, not confident about this one at all.

    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)
