Josh Okogie is scoreless (0-1) but he has the highest +/- with a +16.

As a ticket holder, I had to uninstall and reinstall the app to make it show I had tickets tonight.

I bet a massive portion of the empty seats are tickets owned by season ticket holders that don’t know they have tickets tonight.

Severe communication problems.
There are growing pains on this for sure. Maybe next year they will figure it out.

The formula for point differential is bad. They have to work on this more.

Would be nice if we came out of the gates hard and tried to put this one away in the third quarter.

Nassir Little is reportedly on a concussion protocol and the referees didn't even call a foul.

Now I believe Nurkic has gone to the locker room.

I like the way Metu finishes.

Pretty deflating first quarter of the season.

Those cross court passes are a turnover waiting to happen.

I wonder if Nurkic will be back. I haven't seen him since he left the game.

EG and KD do it all the freaking time.
Yup. Teams have to be scouting that.

Metu can’t expect to stay on the court when he misses point blank layups on the break, especially with the team so undermanned.

Our defense is getting better. However, we are losing games due to turn overs. We shoot 50%. So we are literally giving up points with all our turn overs, whether the other team scores off them or not. We could have had at least 8 more points to our halftime score.

And him going for a layup was nuts to me. That was Deandre Ayton level wussdom.

Games which I attend in person and that I feel free to drink during and after provide a strong chance for hot takes.

There is a strong possibility of some heat coming from me at about 1 or 2… or 3 am.

This team is so disappointing. Bad defense, bad depth… I don’t know how either problem is remotely resolved.

The Kings aren't missing their layups.

I hope those takes are as hot as SGA is trash or the T-Wolves will never work.

That said, this team blows so far this season.

Let’s be honest, lately you have had very little positive to say. :)
