I will NEVER pick the opponent to win, but this one is gonna be tough. The whole team has to be emotionally drained after last night.

Not the 2 SFs that had a long recovery/rest... ;)

Will we have Gay and/or Casspi back? I hope so!
 
Wow, that sure is a #Kangz way to string together a streak!

Let's match the Internet! (Achieve a W-W-W at last...)

No, wait...

  • It's NOT a back-to-back, or a back-to-the-wall, or any other type of a back issue...
  • The TimberCubs are NOT considered the superior of the two teams
  • We are NOT short-staffed and injured on this one (I believe)
  • We do NOT need to preserve strength for a tough schedule to come
  • Most KingFans are NOT determined to blow it all up (anymore/yet).
#Kangz! Does that mean we are NOT winning this one? :(


Think you know how it's gonna unfold?
Let us all know.

The T-Wolves won 3 of their last 4 games, beating Chicago & Atlanta on the road.
And their only loss was after a nail-biter overtime vs Houston...

Actually, the game before that stretch was against GSW...
And the Wolves were in the lead until the middle of the 4th!

In those last 5 games Zach Lavine was beasting with 3s at almost 50%
and the team averaged about 50 boards (While ours sank to below 40!)

What I mean is...
If we take this lightly, we're gonna get our *** kicked like in the Mavs game!

:eek:

BUT... if we tighten our D, we should be OK, and this game is ours to take.

:)

Kings 109
T-Wolves 102
 
We made it!!!
our first winning streak of the season!
(2 is no streak, come on...)

And we're gonna meet the Sixers next! At home! After a 3 days rest!

Oh, wait... In #Kangz-ish that means we lose the next one... Bummer! :(

The summary for the night:

upload_2016-12-24_5-30-41.png

Daily

12 of the 15 predictors got the winning side right (probably got the hang of that 4th Q surge...)
and they all scored nicely.

@origkds came close in all 3 measures and made a strong 72.
@chief bromden was very close behind, with a round 70.
@Ron was close overall, and nailed Kings' score exactly, for a 66,
and
@CVKingsfan (64) and @Suicide King (60) came 4th and 5th for the night.

@LoungeLizard, missing the Kings W again, just like the other night,
showed unbelievable skills in predicting the scores of the Kings' opponents
as he nailed the score of the losing side exactly, two nights in a row (!!) :eek:
(Which would sadly only get you some consolation points, 16 this time)

Congrats on your first daily win, @origkds!!

Season

No changes at the very top, as the 3 podium spot holders... well... held (their ground. Firmly).
(@Telemachus and @alonshin actually slightly closed the gap on the leader, @km23)

The real action transpired behind them, as yours truely (@Ron) shot straight from 7th to 4th. :D
The grim-forseeing duo ;) of @LoungeLizard and @KingsFanSince85, on the other hand,
kept losing altitude in the thin air of Kings' winning streak, and dropped to 6 & 8, respectively.
The latter may have dropped further, if it hadn't been for @VF21 picking a bad time for an MIA
(missing a prediction, and missing the 8th spot)
