Key Matchup

DeMarcus Cousins vs Greg Monroe

[CityofTreez]

Battle of the Scrubs of the League...

We win though

[ZebraCity916]

1st game I get to watch this season. Hopefully, I'll be able to at least.......

Debating on trying to go to the game...... Anyone going??

[iMac]

Both Evans and Stuckey are struggling! I think the game goes to whoever struggles the least! Kings always have a strong chance at winning when Cousins isn't in foul trouble!

This game is definitely important in terms of confidence and building momentum!

[sfgiants5518]

Our teams are really similar. We have the up and coming PG's, the shooting guards who can't shoot, the 3's that play great D, the hustle 4's, and the cornerstone 5's.

[DerekRE_3]

AKA two ****** teams.

AKA two ****** teams.

AKA Should be a good game.

It all depends on Vernon Macklin...

Macklin is a clown, in a good way though...

[Infamous916]

No good can ever come from a clown, haven't you seen IT?

[CityofTreez]

Mackiln dates one of those baby mamas from Basketball Wives.

He's a dumb, but funny clown...

[sneak]

give big cuz some room and he'll have a great game, if not.. he'll look like the cuz from the first 3 games. So, that means.. smart, better have a new plan.

Kings will beat the **** out of the Pistons. We're terrible.

[Kings Analyst]

Missing the game due to practice/class which isn't too disappointing seeing as the games between the Pistons and Kings, but I am disappointed to miss Drummond. Hopefully Cousins stays out of foul trouble, and Smart doesn't have terrible rotations, if those two happen we should be able to win.
