    This team is getting the best from the their opponents. They are determined, and just can't break through.

    That game was intense

    Kings are good with LaVine paired with DeRozan and two starting level centers.

    Quality win. Weathered a little adversity and Ant was hot in that second half.

    Yes, sometimes Ayton's effort level is annoying. Yes, sometimes Ant gets blinders. Yes, sometimes Scoot makes ridiculous passes. But overall, they're a fun team to watch, and I'm going to enjoy them, even if it means missing out on a lottery pick.

    Yeah, I feel they need a few bench pieces and Murray needs to figure it out as well.

    He came down on someone's heel, looked like he turned his ankle, he went to the locker room with the trainer and then returned. He wasn't as aggressive after that. Hope it's okay.

    Missing out on any pick. We’d lose our pick to Chicago.

    i thought it was taking out frustrations on toumani who was jawing at someone from the foul line seconds prior. nasty dunk. but love how much tou gets under opponents' skins.

    The Kings looked good. I think it helps a lot that LaVine and DeRozan have played three seasons together so that should get Zach acclimated pretty quick.

    Impressive win. Really impressive run over the last 11 games.

    Saying this for years
    Won despite not being really sharp with the ballhandling tonight. Nice to see Shaedon with the good offensive game -- still the worst defender on the team by a wide margin but the effort's there now, really has to learn to handle screens.

    Ant played great down the stretch, which, again, showed me why you don't just trade him unless you get a decent return.

    Clingan's hands are really an issue. He was such an offensive liability tonight, losing the ball, missing point-blank shots and missing FTs, but he did just enough with his defense and screens to offset that.
