Haven’t watched the Wiseman highlight reel all season but it for sure inspires dreams about the future. Though probably next year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTKIKHMFKaU

Did Moody miss these two rotations?

Mitchell drive against Lee after Hield drive and kick. 1:09 in 2nd ( https://youtu.be/m0ClnrXXbLs?t=300 )

Mitchell right wing drives against Curry. 7:44 in 3rd ( https://youtu.be/m0ClnrXXbLs?t=345 )

Klay seems to have a lot of belief in himself and his teammates. He's the only guy who wasn't clamoring for another player to help them out by trading the rookies. Maybe behind the scenes he did. But I doubt it given how much time he spent with Wise and how glowingly he spoke of him. Even now when they tried to bait him about what the team needs, he opted for a washing machine. Even then it's a maybe. He really believes they have enough to win with what they have. It's very refreshing.

Anyone have a link to the Klay premature celebration that got called out on postgame by Steph and Klay?

Something that came to mind as I was watching the highlights...

OMG THAT JAM FROM KUMINGA WAS ABSOLUTELY FILTHY

(Oh, and Klay had a hell of a game too. He's looking pretty nice.)

"What is it about playing against the Sacramento Kings that brings out the best in you?"

"Hey man 2011 Draft...With the 10th pick the Sacramento Kings DO NOT select me....people don't forget, that's all I got to say." - KlayThompson

I enjoy basketball when Klay and Steph are both nuclear in the same game. I recommend they do that a lot.

Also, Kuminga shot a 3 amidst the Klay supernova. No, Rook, we feed Klay at all costs during those times. Oh well, he'll learn.

Also also, it's bullshit I have to wait until Monday to watch this team again.

Should send both Moody and Kuminga to the G-League for tomorrow's game

Lol! The only thing Klay wants Dubs to get by trade deadline is a washing machine. Never change!!

Davion Mitchell doesn’t like that he got drafted after Kuminga (well, 2 after him). He brings it against the Dubs. Arguably his two best games are against the GSW this season. He played pretty well against Orlando too, but maybe Franz Wagner (8th pick) doesn’t bug him as much. Or maybe being in California he hears about how great the Dubs are way more.

Klay's post-game interview had me look it up.

Totally forgot the Kings picked Jimmer Fredette over Klay lol

From an unexpected press release from the league office: "It appears that Jonathan Kuminga has taken ownership of the Sacramento Kings. Congratulations to Jonathan and his family."

Love the balanced scoring output. Speaking of which, seems like Barnes had himself a very efficient night! With that kind of performance how is the Kings record so shabby?

I love Wiggins… but if the Kings put up Barnes and Halliburton up for trade for Wiggins (not that they would)… would you do it?

From Bright Side of the Sun commenter chilliard3:

“There are 28 teams out of 29 that I can confidently say that our Suns can win a seven game series against.

That one remaining team: the Warriors. They scare the sh^t out of me and it frustrates me that I hold The Suns to such a high standard that I need them to continue to build separation against Golden State because they're not losing.

It's extremely disheartening that I need them to be perfect to take down Steph, Klay, Draymond, Wiseman, Poole, and the rest of that squad. I want this to be our year, but that team exists and have me questioning everything.”
