Turner and a very pleasant good evening to you welcome inside Golden One center it’s time for game night right here sack toown Sports 1140 Scott Marshall along with the high flyer Henry Turner it’s a big Friday night for the Kings trying to split the home home two game series

Against the Mavs did not go their way on Tuesday night all sorts of playin playoff ramifications tonight as the Kings try to win the season series against the Mavs little rainy outside a little windy if you’re coming on to the doco for the game tonight take your time

We’ve got you covered until 6:30 tonight get you ready for Kings live pregame 7 o’cl tip Gman with the call high flyer we’ve had a couple of days off since Tuesday have you been able to put away that bad taste from Tuesday night or is it still lingering no it’s still there

It’s still there front and foremost until we win tonight it won’t leave it was tough on Tuesday night no doubt about the Kings got beat and beat soundly 132 to 96 a 36o blowout at the hands of the Mavs who are a game up now in the Western Conference they’re

Currently in that sixth spot that means playoffs and for the Kings technically in eighth behind Phoenix that means play in uh tonight that all can be wiped away though the Kings get the win tonight they would have the season series advantage against the Mavs they would be

Tied with them but of course they would have all the tiebreakers going in so you know there’s no such thing as a must-win game until either you win or your season’s over with but this feels as big as it could get with 10 games left to go

This is this is as big as it gets because it puts you where you need to be once again you know SC Scott through all the ups all the Downs all the ups this team has had all the mishaps this team has had if they win this game tonight it

Puts them in a situation to where they’re still in control of their own destiny they really won’t have to scoreboard watch they can take care of what they have to take care of yep no doubt as you look at the Western Conference standings the Kings coming in

42 2 and 30 they are a half game behind Phoenix in the win column same amount of losses suns are 43 and 30 Mavs are 43 and 29 Pelicans winning last night they stay in the Five Spot 10528 they got a big win in Milwaukee we’ll go over that

Over the course of the next hour uh but for the Kings what happened on Tuesday night what happened to the Kings you saw a Dallas Maverick team that came out and just shot the ball extremely well it was funny I had a chance to talk to Jason

Kid again before uh before the game and he just admitted he was like wow he said he didn’t expect for the game to get out of hand like that he said but our guys just straight locked in he said HT whenever our guys are clicking on all

Cylinders and that ball is falling he said we can play with the best of them he said but then again he said you know this league if we’re not knocking that shot down we at 12 o00 it’s like Cinderella we turn back into a pumpkin well the amazing thing was it was a

Five-point game at Halftime were down 5853 that second half though went 7443 in the favor of the Mavs you know he he did give me a little insight yeah he said you know Kyrie Irv is going through the Ramadan thing to where he’s fasting during day he’s fasting right

Yeah he said Kyrie after Kyrie Irving eats he he’s a different Beast yeah you know and you think about it’s like okay his first half wasn’t a lot went into the locker room at half came out of different yes he and he said you can definitely see the difference

Yeah he said he comes out on fire he said and Luca is cool with that he said you know he said him and luuka has gotten together and saying okay Luca this is your team he said you come out the first half you do your thing yeah

You get it going he said and then in the second half I’ll do my thing and him and luuka are in agreeance with that and Luca’s like cool you know I like your game you love my game let’s make just happened Jak K say it’s been a easy

Conversion with those two they haven’t really had to deal with no egos no you know nobody in their committee you know their little group saying this is my squad and I run it they don’t have none of that we’re GNA talk with Chuck cooperstein he’s the outstanding voice

For the Mavs coming up in the program um but as you said it was a tale of two halves Luca dominated the first half and I do mean dominated 26 points seven rebounds five assists he had a game in the first 24 minutes yes he did I mean

And and like I said talking to Jay he said Luka is that guy he said you know he’s he said he you know we didn’t seen some of the best in this game has to offer he said but offensively the dude is just straight gifted he said now

Defensively it’s a whole total different bag bag of rocks he said but offensively he’s one of the best he”s seen in a long time no doubt and he carved up the Kings anytime they sent a double team at him he just threw it over them and then

Got the ball moving it was lights out you know Scott people really don’t uh appreciate this dude’s Court Vision how he sees the court and how he can pass the basketball you just alluded to it the king stun it and they trapped Luca they read they read Luca they they

Double team Luca but he he’s so big and his court vision is so nice to where he makes the right read and that will kill you also because you know when you make when when you decide to double team you’re making your defense vulnerable because you have to put two people on

One person but you’re hoping that the guy you’re double teing won’t find the open guy and Luca finds him every time yeah he was awesome for the Mavs in that first half kyri as you mentioned took over had 18 it was 24 in the second half combined they were amazing in that game

For the Mavs and then offensively for the Kings we’ve seen this before but the Mavs packed the middle sa bonus was definitely doubled at times triple team wasn’t able to have the game he normally does wasn’t able to pass out the Kings got bogged down offensively and that’s

Going to be a big thing tonight Scott you know I honestly thought that the Kings didn’t play at their Tempo they played more so at Dallas Tempo you know the game before this one when the Kings won they were able to get up and down and it seemed like Luca didn’t really

Like that that Tempo because he was always playing in Midfield he never had a chance to really rest on one side or rest on the other yeah and obviously it’s a different Dallas team than when the Kings played them back in Dallas twice earlier in the year I mean with

The Acquisitions of Gafford in Washington Lively coming on in his rookie year they’re a lot better on the interior than they were yeah you know you know what Gafford brings a whole different Dynamic to their ball Club you know a very live and energetic big that

You know can really rim run can score off the pick and roll and you have two of the best pick and roll guys in the business all right score off the pick and roll but then again be able to defend the rim and uh domas did get his 55th

Consecutive double double but it was a light night for him just 11 points and 11 rebounds on the night for him Malik monk continues to be in that monk Funk his last three games just 21 points uh combined in those three games any concern with him well you know what

I’m expecting Malik monk to be out of that funk because we’re going to need him tonight I expect the Sacramento King’s going G to come out with a very Herculean effort tonight Scott because they understand that uh their backs are against the wall they need this game

Yeah and they’ve had a couple of days at home now of course the navs are well rested as well they’ve been in Sacramento for the past 72 hours as well getting ready for this one but certainly you know it’s like uh last week the Kings went out on the road they lost in

Washington it was a bad bad loss for them but they rebounded with that win in Orlando all of a sudden that two and one trip felt pretty good the Kings win tonight they split at home against the maps they win the season series you can kind of Overlook Tuesday night yes

That’s exactly what they need they need that that’s why I say Scott this game is Just bigger than one game to say okay we need Dallas it sets them up for what for what’s to come no doubt we’re in the final 10 games of the Season here every

Game critical for Sacramento now Mike Brown his quote from Tuesday night was you’ve got to give Dallas Credit they actually played the way we like to play they just kept the game simple anytime we send a second guy at the ball or anytime they tried to drive the

Basketball and somebody was open they made the simple pass and whoever caught it stepped up to a wide open shot there there there it is right there you know like I said I think the Kings really need to pick up the pace because once they start going up and down that opens

The floor up a lot more for them yeah in terms of Fast Break points the Kings only had nine on Tuesday night that’s not Kings basketball at all they have to get deflex they have to get out transition yeah as for the points in the paint it wasn’t good for Sacramento

Either they only had 38 points in the paint the Mavs had 44 yeah you know wasn’t King’s basketball so let’s hope they can make those adjustments man and clear that stuff up and make it a lot easier basketball game all right look back at the points in the paint brought

Spot in the Western Conference playoff picture at 43 and 29 the Kings 42 and 31 game back but in that eighth spot right now half game behind the Suns and of course if you’re in the eighth spot that means you’re on the road for a

Play in game you don’t want to be in that scenario when the regular season is over with we’ll talk about the game tonight with Chuck cooperstein coming up in our next segment right now we’re going to look at some of the other news going on throughout the league high

Flyer Draymond Green just cannot keep himself out of the news which is really not unexpected we know that uh Draymond really hasn’t been able to for most of his career but this year again getting ejected earlier again this week and the warriors were able to win that game in

Orlando without him but you could see visibly how upset Steph Curry was looked like they made good after the game uh Steve Kerr after the game coming out and saying it was absolutely on Draymond Draymond eventually taking resp responsibility saying he can’t let this happen but uh you know we’ve heard that

Song a time or two before okay scooter I’m not going to bust my bust my arm Pat myself on the back but I told you Draymond is Draymond he’s not going to change he is not going to change they have dealt with that for as long as they

Could this is draymond’s last dance with that basketball team he will not be a Golden State Warrior next year I don’t even know if Draymond gri is going to be in the league because I honestly think that he’s made enough money to where and has done enough in his career to where

He’s like if I’m not doing it my way and playing with the Warriors I’m done I’m with you and I made the prediction earlier this year too I didn’t know if Draymond would finish this year it looks like he will although it’s teetering and where the Warriors

Will be when it’s all said and done who knows now we’ve got to give the Warriors some credit they got huge back-to-back wins in Florida they went into Miami beat the heat and they went in Orlando and and took care of the magic no no I

Mean yeah they they’ve been able to play decent basketball but they’ve been able to win without him too think about that yeah you know they’ve been able to pull out basketball games without him so they’re definitely going to be reevaluating do they really want to keep his Antics uh on this basketball team

Next year and if you ask me and if I’m a betting man which I don’t bet but if I am going to bet I would bet Draymond Green will not be in in a warrior uniform next year yeah the thing of it is who’s going to take him with that

Contract and that’s the thing who’s going to take him with that contract and you know what and I would say this there would be another team that would take him with that contract because he’s a great player but nobody’s going to take the Antics nobody is going to take on

That well and obviously Steph Curry uh still his brother and still trying to get him to stay with the Warriers you know they have that long Bond but it’s growing old on everybody over the bay uh the Warriors are 38 and 34 right now the Rockets win again they have won their

Last 10 straight they won on the road at Oklahoma City in overtime wow they are bringing it right now Jaylen green was incredible in that game at OKC you know you talk about the Houston Rockets and I’mma use a pun they are taking off like a rocket those guys

Are playing great basketball and you know we can’t even say that we didn’t see this coming they started out the season on fire being able to beat a bunch of basketball teams so for them to have their little you know fall back to Grace because all basketball teams do but then

Find themselves again and start playing good basketball e may my hats off to you bro you didn’t got a bunch of young players together and sprinkles you in some um some veterans but you got those guys playing at a very high level and buying in to what you’re selling Rockets

37 and 3 now they’re one game back of the Warriors they play each other on April 4th that’s nice that is a big big game remaining on both teams schedule uh how about the Lakers they’re getting it going right now as well they’ve won five straight they’re 41 and 32 they’re doing

Everything they can do to move up the play in ladder you know Scott I mean you you really put a damper on my day when we have to talk about Golden State getting multiple wins Lakers getting multiple wins and both of those teams are looking at us

Licking their chops and we just got drugged by Dallas couple of days ago right know of course the the great thing for the Kings and Lakers the Kings swept the Lakers this year they have all the tiebreakers against them so they’re effectively three games ahead if you

Want to look that way it’d be tough for the Kings to slide further than but there’s still a lot of games left that’s what I’m saying I mean you know we got to win some basketball games that’s why we’re going to come back to this game here tonight that’s why this game it’s

So critical this game can set them up for the long haul these guys better come out I mean and they better play like it’s game six in first skull yep they better come out with that type of intensity yep no doubt about it of course one thing and we were going to

Get into it more in our injury report later on but the big news that was released this afternoon W uh sent out a w bomb and then it’s been confirmed that Kevin hder uh will have surgery to to fix the tear in his labor room and his

Shoulder and is going to be out most likely for the remainder of the year I Mike Brown in the press conference earlier today said he didn’t know exact timelines or what that could mean potentially for the playoffs but for all said in purposes Kevin herder season

Stuff and you know what Scott I’m GNA say this how do Ws get it before we do and we’re here how does w get it before we get it I have a lot of thoughts on that one okay I’ll let that go but but still so right

Now we know who’s going to be on this Rost like right now right now these guys that’s playing tonight y’all better get it together because we’re riding out with you guys the kings are not going to bring in another player to replace Kevin HT no I no way no how so they’re going

To ride out with this roster right here so fellas get comfortable get acclimated now you get to check to get a chance to see you know you’re going to get more minutes guys like Malik mon is going to get more minutes Davon Mitchell more minutes Keon Ellis more minutes you guys

Get comfortable one another because we’re going to have to ride out with y’all yep and Keon Ellis will continue to start and of course the kings in the month of March they were top five in defense going into that game uh Tuesday night obviously they didn’t finish that

Way after the game on Tuesday man I mean you know first of all you you you you really have to give credit to what Dallas has out there on the floor I mean Luca donic is something special Scott on the offensive end this guy man I mean he

Gets it done and when that jump shot is Fallen he’s almost basically Unstoppable you know the Sacramento Kings tried everything in their Poss in in their possibility to stop this dude I mean they sent double teams they stun it they did everything that they could to get

The ball out of his hands either he step back knock down three or he was big enough and Savvy enough and I had to give him credit for this he seized the floor excellent he seized the floor like a guard and you know I wouldn’t expect nothing else uh playing under Jason kid

Whenever we made the double team Whatever Whenever we stun it he found the open guy every time yeah that’s why Jason kid’s such the perfect coach for Luca they have similar games I mean they really do different eras but the same just incredible Hall of Fame ability you

Know and like I said and being able to set others up he’s one of the best in the business yes he can get his offensively but when you try to stop him being able to find the right man with the right cut and the right pass that’s

What makes him special no doubt uh sabonis out there warming up the lone King at the moment uh what do the kings need to do offensively to prevent the sabonis getting so tied up in the paint speed it up speed Beed it up I honestly thought

Scott that the Kings played at a Dallas Pace you know that’s why Dallas was so comfortable I thought if the Sacramento Kings would really speed something up get up and down really push the basketball that keeps Luca in the mid-range game to where he doesn’t get a

Chance to rest on defense or or get a chance to take a take a break on the offensive end that makes him be able to you know run up and down I don’t think that’s his best his best attribute yep all right we’re going to take the break

When we come back Chuck cooperstein who is the longtime radio voice for the Mavs is going to join us we’ll break this one down a little further the stakes couldn’t be much higher tonight as the Kings looking to sweep the season series versus the MAV and get themselves back

Golden one Center we are at our away from tip off tonight huge game in the Western Conference Kings and MAV Sacramento trying to rebound after getting blown out by 36 on Tuesday night joining us now the outstanding voice on the radio from the maps Chuck cooperstein and Chuck first of all I’ve

Got to ask you you’ve had 72 hours here in Sacramento what does an outsider do to spend a couple of days in our Capital City well first things first I’m very intimidated sitting in the seat of the Gman is the rever chair of the G I’m like very nervous about this

Um you know what there was a lot of Frank fats yes you can’t go wrong if there was there was a lot of Frank fats uh you know I I like politics and I’ve been to the capital before I took the tour of the capital again just kind of

Walked around um you know and then uh walked in the Old Sacramento yesterday I’d done that before but I was really frankly hoping to go to Lake Tahoe uh you know I’ve spent a lot of time there during the summer when you it’s 110 degrees in Dallas and you want something

That’s really really nice y there’s nothing better and but uh uh the snow was uh was forecast and I I I can drive in the snow but I don’t think I can drive in that snow no right and and I you know no chains on the uh on the

Tires of the rental car I’m little little concerned about that so U discretion was definitely the better part of valor I think you made a very good call how about for the team itself do you know how they spent their time I know uh well Wednesday they went to a

Bunch of them went to Napa not every not everybody did um Nappa I don’t I don’t drink wine so Nappa doesn’t mean all that much to me uh but uh you know yesterday was kind of a just a regular day for them I mean they had they had a practice here and uh

You know just I guess what would be a normal day yeah uh you know off day on the road trying to get ready to play a really important game yeah such an oddity for an NBA team to spend three days one it feel it does feel like the

Playoffs and and and you know what Chuck somebody told me that it was a Luca Dage sighting at Golden Corral come on well I mean let let’s think about this for a second yeah you know if you’re Luca donic you’re Steph Curry you’re Michael Jordan you’re

Whoever like where can you go like where where can you go that like people wouldn’t expect you to go yeah um I don’t think if indeed that’s true I have not been able to confirm that I mean tell you what I mean that’s that’s a pretty good head bake I mean that’s a

Defin that’s a definite fake left go right and get yourself to the rim I mean that’s that’s pretty good I mean don’t get me wrong I mean I I’m guilty of Golden Corral every blue moon myself but I would definitely be in shock if I

Walked in there and seen Luca Don at the ice cream machine you and a whole bunch of others I guess who might have been there yes that is funny all right chck let’s talk Hoops that’s why we we brought you out here Tuesday night uh your Mavs played

As good as it looked like they possibly could was that as good a game as you’ve seen them play all season long yeah I mean the only other game I think that was even comparable to that was the first game after the trade we played a Mata game against Oklahoma City at home

And just crushed him scored 146 just scored 47 in the first quarter in the first game with those new guys uh and they were they were awesome they were absolutely awesome in that game and this was pretty much the same but I think obviously you know the stakes on March

26 they’re a hell of a lot higher than they are on February the 10th when you play that game and you’re playing it on the road you’re play supposed to playing at home you’re playing on the second night of back to back you had to travel Sacramento stayed here although the

Kings were playing their fifth game in seven nights I it it was awesome it it was awesome to watch them play and frankly given how much I talk to Jason kid and hear Jason Kid what he really wants from his team to actually see everything he talks about seemingly

Every day actually play out in front of you I mean you know I don’t know if there’s such a thing as a perfect game in baseb in basketball like there is in baseball but if there was such thing that just might have been it the other

Night you know what I want to ask you about this one player because you know we the last time we played we didn’t get to see this guy and I think he’s a game changer for you guys but you get to see him on a nightly basis and I’m talking

About Mr Gaff well Gaff didn’t do much the other night now he got in early foul trouble and uh you know it was Dereck godley’s night really which was just tremendous to see because when the Kings uh he and Lively have played at least 40 minutes in every game wow so you know

You’ve got you know you’ve got the you know 48 minutes you got 48 minutes at the position they have combined to play at least 40 minutes in every one of those games and it’s it’s huge it just it matters so much because as much as everybody talks about playing small yeah

In the NBA size still wins like y big and good is better than little and good I’m still convinced of that hey you can’t teach seven foot no you cannot that is true and that’s the trend in the league you you look at what’s going on in Denver and with Milwaukee and Houston

Now is Young and athletic and tall in Minnesota I mean that that kind of is the new age in the league they kind of going back to the lengthen athleticism yeah you know from uh from a defensive standpoint look your you know your first job even though everybody talks about

You know all the three-point shooting your first job is to defend the rim yeah you’ve got to be able to defend the rim and uh you know you let everything else fall into place from there and uh all credit to Maverick’s general manager Nico Harrison for know listen last year

Well he’s he’s been through three trade deadlines two years ago they got uh they traded porzingis and they got Spencer Den witty and they do not get to the Conference Finals without Spencer deny he was he was Sensational but they maxed Spencer dwy out completely to the point

Where a year later at the deadline they could use him in a trade to get Kyrie Irving and it took Kyrie you know Kyrie played really well when he played last year for us uh and he and luuka were fine together was the rest of the team

Around them that was just not very good when it counted um but now you have this deal and all of a sudden you have you you’ve got the ability to shoot you’ve got the ability to guard uh and you know don’t forget PJ Washington he he was

Phenomenal the other night that that was his best game as a Maverick the other night first double double as a Maverick again physical uh you know on the on the perimeter just uh you know being able to switch onto sabon not be you and not be taken advantage of he’s really important

To what they do and they they’ve got a really nice mix they’ve got a lot of confidence right now and uh it’s the right time of the year to have that now talking about your one-w combo with Luca Dage and Kyrie Irving you get to see

These guys on a nightly basis and uh I had a chance to talk to Jak kid and Jake kid has been telling me from the beginning that this kid LCA is something different it’s ridiculous he he is ridiculous I mean look he knows how to rise to the moment look

He’s been a professional since he was 13 years old playing over in Europe and playing you know for Real Madrid and winning the MVP of the Euro league and winning the MVP of uh Euro basket and winning a Spanish League Championship the dude knows how to win um and now

They just have more really good pieces around him and you and you saw the other night we all knew what the stakes were on Tuesday night it was that had playoff big game written all over it the man lives to play in those games he he’s not interested in playing

Charlotte in January okay he’s he’s interested in playing in in April and May and June when it really matters and they the Mavericks have given him uh the best opportunity to do that I mean that first half know I had the stat the other night you know he had 267 and five at

Halftime that game there have been 13 games in the NBA this year where a player has had 25 points five rebounds and five assists in a half Luca has eight of them nobody else has more than one he gave it to us it all says it all right there talking to the outstanding

Voice in the M chuck cooperstein all right this game’s got playoff fi obviously too if the Kings win tonight they get the season series against the Mavs they’ll have the tiebreaker so it’s really two games for the Kings if the Mavs can win they separate by two games

The other direction as you guys are looking at it in the Mavs and the whole playoff situation in this crazy western conference right now how are you sizing things up well I mean look the stakes are definitely there and and don’t forget you know the stakes of a possible

Three-way tie yeah and the fact that fact that Phoenix and Sacramento are going to play an extra game because because of the End season tournament so you know from the Maverick standpoint this really becomes huge because if if they win uh they’ll be they’ll be no

Worse than seventh you know in in any three-way tiebreaker uh and obvious obviously you know you take it from there what happens uh you know with the conference record and all that other stuff as as we go down the line but um you know a couple of days ago I I think

They were thinking well you know let’s just make sure we finish Sixth and and get out of the playin yeah well they’re not so far away from fourth two games away from the clips right I know I know the Clippers are playing tonight um and you know uh New Orleans is playing great

Uh you know the Mavericks are playing super right now uh you know Sacramento and Phoenix are certainly capable I we saw what Phoenix did the other night in Denver they’ve beaten Denver twice now since the All-Star break in Denver uh but they can’t beat Washington right so

Yep mean that and and obviously that’s been the case with your team well right I mean you’re Detroit Washington Charlotte what what you and the Nets the only teams I think in the League this year to lose to those teams uh to all three of those teams yeah I mean that

Hurts when when when you’re looking at the totality of everything really hurts so and that’s the one thing the Mavericks have been really good at is that they’ve uh they’ve taken the measure of bad teams they they’ve killed him and you know we still have a game

With Charlotte we have a game with Atlanta although Atlanta Beat Boston twice last you know the last week uh and and a game with Detroit so I mean the schedule is really favorable for them but I I don’t think they can think of uh you know they can’t take the big picture

They’re they’re definitely very much in the moment right now I think Jason kid’s done a really good job of of keeping them in that moment and just know looking for that consistency that everyone wants but very few teams are ever able to achieve yeah no question Clippers right now two minutes left to

Go in that game they lead the Magic in Orlando but it’s 9695 so how about Orlando in the last week they’ve had you guys at home uh Golden State at home and the Clippers at home yeah and they lost two of them and they and they could lose another one

Which again also speaks to the of the conference versus you know the other side which is has pretty much been the case for really the last 25 years last year was an exception to it really I mean it’s you’re laugh at it’s it’s it’s very it’s so funny to me because you

Know we we know the the national networks and whatnot and where they’re based and where it seems like their their minds are set on you know the game starts at 10 o’clock Eastern time they’re not really interested in staying up till 12:30 to watch and see what

Happens but the West is where the action is oh yeah and has been where the action is for a long time so you know with all of this going on I mean you know some of our Eastern friends could help us out a little bit here that would really be

Nice that would be a lot of fun also the sun’s right now trailing at half to the Thunder 70 to 59 without shild Alexander too no SGA wow wow and still getting it done that’s big that’s a a lot but again that’s Phoenix great great the other night right in Denver fantastic great

Comeback in that four right they were they were tremendous and now no little go and they’ll do this tonight without Shay and yeah tell you what Jaylen Williams is really good though he can play he’s really good he can play I tell you what you’ve got two guards that can

Really play too Chuck appreciate the time and looking forward to being with you tonight for your broadcast I appreciate you having me and uh I hope I didn’t mess up g man’s Vibe sitting in Gary gave approval before you came we have Chuck on he says if Chuck wants to

Mercedesbenz of Stockton check out their full line of luxury vehicles at mbf stockton.com let’s look at the injury report now for the Mavs Luca is still listed as questionable um there’s nothing but playing tonight for Luca as he’s out there at the free throw line warming up

He was listed as questionable too I guess he’s been dealing with a little bit of an Achilles but it’s not stopping him from playing high flyer right and looking at him right now uh he ready to go yeah Maxi cber also listed this questionable he also played on Tuesday

Night wasn’t a major factor but he should play tonight uh Josh Green the only player of note who was out for the Mavs tonight has for the Kings Sasha VZ zenov continues to be out with that ankle wow and it’s interesting it’s two weeks now that we’ve been led to believe

He was coming coming back sooner than later but now you feel like like the T timetable is again indefinite for Sasha you know and and and and here here’s the problem too Scott you know how do you incorporate a guy like Sasha he’s been out so long and we are playing in

Situations to where you don’t have a big window for error no or to be bringing a guy along or waiting for a guy to get acclimated so I mean that that’s going to be a tough Hall all together it really is with herder out for the year

Now for sure maybe that gives Sasha a little more of a chance to get into the lineup when he comes back but to your point these games are so meaningful you just can’t run them out there to try and get him back in NBA condition no you

Can’t I because you’re gonna have to do everything that you can probably get Trey ly back into uh playing shape y so he’s gonna have to get some minutes I think with Kevin herder being out I think that just loads up the minutes for

Keon and uh Davon and Malik mon yep no I agree and the same thing with Trey he is out uh there still is no set date on his return either so uh the king’s a little banged up no question coming into this one tonight as they take on the Mavs

Trying to uh split this home series and again playoff Field tonight two days in between games it feels like game one game two of a best of seven it does it it really does it has that implication because these games are just as important they are indeed um obviously

The Kings need to make some adjustments you have really focused in on the pace Pace was not good enough for them on Tuesday night other things you’re looking for differently out of the Kings tonight you know being able to run their offense pace is going to be number one

And I think being able to attack the rim attack the rim and spray out is going to be a big part of what the Kings really going to have to step it up with yeah uh Luca having some fun out there the Mavs Tim Hardaway Jr out there putting

Up some halfcourt shots he was a factor on Tuesday night as well he had 22 points coming off the bench he hadn’t been shooting it well but certainly played very well against the Kings you know everybody stepped their game up you know Luca came out and he set the tone

Scott and then the other guys kicked in PJ Washington knockdown shots like you said uh Tim Hardway Jr knockdown shots uh some of the bigs were able to get to the rim he held it down for that first half and then Kyrie Irving shifted in the first gear uh in that third quarter

And he was able to you know do the exact same thing you know that’s the luxury that Jason kid to Dallas Mavericks have you got two guys that really can just put a team on their back and get it done yeah there’s Lucas signing autographs a

Big contingent of 77 jerseys and I have to give Luka credit I was in Milwaukee a year ago part of a college basketball trip the mads were in there for a couple of games and Luca spent a good half hour before the game just meeting with fans

Signing autographs he’s the face of the league and he is not um uh in any way unapproachable or willing to do things for the fans and that’s great to see hey let me tell you any guy that’ll go to Golden Corral and have a meal you know

What he what what do you make of that he all right with me I are you buying that no I bought it I bought it because you know Lucas from overseas man I mean you know he he look at him he doesn’t look Hollywood at all not at all you know he

Looks like a down toe guy and he’s like hey it’s all you can eat joint I’m hungry you know we hey we call him the Budgy one for a reason I can eat all I want I’m good I’m there yeah we talked about this on Tuesday um Luca in the MVP

Race where’s he at right now very high just like he was last year you know I think Luca in the MVP rates is going to be as high as as far as Dallas goes if Dallas can go far in the uh in the playoff race he’ll definitely be um a

High Prospect Kyle couldn’t hear you there all right he’s saying 30 seconds High Fly we got to wrap up quickly here that’s going to do it for game night Henry great to work with you have a great call tonight with the Gman gotcha g man’s in his seat that means it’s time
