Sacramento Kings vs Houston Rockets Pregame Show – Game Night
We sprung forward in hour today as well high flyer I’m feeling it a little bit right now man this was a quick turnaround yeah yeah it was Jay I me I’m Excuse that’s what I’m saying hey you can call me Jay Scott today right we’re still trying to get our Bears no just
Talked to Jason a hot second ago uh yeah but you know definitely quick turnaround early game I like early games in this Arena man because this Arena was built for this you know the way you have it to where you can go out into the dojo and have something eat enjoy yourself walk
Around the sun is out the sun is shining inside the arena I mean this place is built for Day games you’re so right about that there is a good Buzz already outside the arena the game’s officially a sellout today not that that’s a surprise because most every game’s been
A sellout this year but to your point the Sunday afternoon games are really popular just a little tougher than usual with the hour change today that’s yeah yeah yeah the hour change definitely through a rich in it man believe me I had my day set and I’m like wait a a
Minute that’s right up hour let me get out of here uh but we’re ready to go and we are looking forward to it and the King’s looking forward to an opportunity to get their first win against the Rockets this season it was tough sledding I know you still are bitter
About those two losses in Houston to start out the year we’ll talk all about that but of course we’ve got to focus in on Thursday night first and what a thriller here against the Spurs Kings of 20 they lose the lead looks like they’re
Going to lose for sure and then all of a sudden they come roaring back malake monk with that huge three in sabonis the steel of the year and I guess the saying a win is a win comes to play from Thursday night you know Scott first of
All let me say this definitely happy that miraculously the Kings pull that one off and one but uh it’s it’s starting to become a real big question to me about how this team can get up 20 and how this team can let a team back in a team without WB another non-winning
Team 13 and 48 coming into the game or 12 and 48 SC I’m just saying a team it I’m not even talking about you know the profile of the team talk about a team we let them back in the game we’ve had a couple of games where we went up 20
Twice and let the teams back in yeah now in order for this team to do what they want to do this team wants to get better this team wants to be a contender this team wants to be you know playoff known where okay we’re going to be in the
Playoffs man you cannot do things like that and think that you’re going to be a contender in this league it’s not going to happen no doub and again the Topsy Turvy season for the Kings continue they play great at La get the road win against the Lakers only to come back to almost
Falter against the Spurs but first we have to say it was a dramatic comeback and malake M that huge three to tie things up that was clutch and sabonis came out of nowhere to get that steal I mean it’s one of those games to where everything that could happen to San
Antonio did you know and then like I said the Kings have to be very very lucky and grateful that they were able to get that game especially where they are right now how the Sacramento Kings are trying to fight to stay in the hunt to really make it into this playoff run
They need every game that they can possibly muster up and that game right there was looking like a horrible loss it would have been a horrible loss as it is the kings are 10 games above 536 and 26 they are in the sixth spot at the moment with Phoenix losing to Boston
Yesterday so we’ll get into all of that I do want to follow up from Thursday though I I wasn’t at the game uh pop was hot at the end of that game two things first did you think he was going to call a timeout in the play that led up to the
Sabonis steel after monk hit the three they had a timeout game was tied I really thought pop would take a timeout when they crossed midc Court I was surprised he didn’t and then afterwards him and Mike Brown talked quite a bit had a real interesting conversation pop
Was unhappy I don’t know if you were able to gather what that was all about you know what couldn’t tell too far away it was way up here but I can agree with you the uh the conversation was very was very heated yeah because uh he was going
At the referee first yep and then once he got done with the referee he went and engaged with Mike had a long long talk with Mike and then after that I don’t know if You’ seen that but after that the talk went on with Doug Christie and a couple of other Sacramento Kings
Assistant coaches and then he returned and went back to his locker room yeah no it was interesting and unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to ask Mike that in our pregame presser but I would love to follow back with that um but it was interesting in that situation that the
Spurs did not take a time out and I understand coaches like to let their team play up not let the other team set up defense but obviously they were reeling a little bit after the Kings had scored five to tie that game back at 129 with a younger team on the floor yeah
You know I mean Kings dodged the bullet they did that that’s all I can say is they dodged the bullet you know I honestly thought they played decent basketball you know was able to get up 20 on a young team under man team did exactly what they needed to do
But somewhere somehow they let teams back in the game and I’m looking at this I’m like wow if the Kings would have just rolled this all the way out now they’re starting to figure out how to close games yeah you really Scott have to understand how to close out a game
How to finish a team once you get them down teams shoot the ball way too well from the three-point line to be like s desico take your foot off the accelerator and let these teams back in the game because when you do that then all of a sudden the game is tied with
Four minutes left y hey it’s a it’s a coin flip who’s going to win is and with the Aaron Fox having fouled out makes it a lot more right your number one guy fourth quarter Fox foul out now it’s like who do we go to yeah better be
Thankful you got a cat like Malik Monk on your team no doubt and let’s give San Antonio their props because even though they have a not so good Record 12 and 48 coming into this game they go into Golden State last night and beat the Warriors now the Warriors are without
Steph Curry too we’ll touch on that let’s talk about Mike Brown what he did say after the game here was his quote high flyer and I know you heard this after for the game on Thursday no I didn’t hear it we didn’t get a chance to
Okay well this is what he had to say he goes quote we can’t accept the way that we played now we take the win but we can’t accept the way that we played and think that everything is going to be okay going forward but at the end of the
Day the way we defended the way we turned the ball over and responded to those turnovers that can’t fly and we have to continue to learn and grow so we don’t keep putting ourselves in a position like we were he understands I mean Mike been to the Mountaintop you
Know uh Scott it’s a it’s a simple recipe to the finals it’s a simple recipe for uh productivity it’s it’s a simple recipe for success and you know playing consistent basketball is going to have to be one that’s that’s the root to the gumbo if you don’t have that you’re not going to
Be able to have a good tasting gumbo you have to be able to play consistent in the Kings for for for all its worth they’re playing better than last year 10 games above 500 I’m loving all of that I really am I’m loving all of that but
We’re talking about for this team to get to where they want to be as a goal they got to play more consistent basketball no doubt all right our look at Mike Brown his comments brought to you by F Lake Honda your One Stop Honda shop um it’s interesting if you look at offense
And defensive rating the Kings have slid to 12th in offensive rating now they were hovering six seven for a while they’re now not even top 10 defensively they’re still low 20s they 22nd as we speak right now so to your point and again everybody asked this question are
They truly playing better than they were a year ago at this time record’s pretty comparable I will I will I will say this C uh I think the basketball team is still playing good basketball I think everybody on everybody in the west that struggled last year all the injuries
Everything that went on in the west think about this and and I was thinking about this on the right up here scottt you know us for so long as kings fans we’ve always said when is it going to go right for us when is everything going to
Go right for us that was last year y that was our everything went right for us fell into the right situation uh Kings played the right style of basketball you had injuries you had teams that were down teams that fell out everything fell the Kings Way We clipped
That 16-year drought we made it to the playoffs everything was was great this year it’s a different story everything that went wrong last year didn’t go wrong this year yeah you know we’ve had some injuries we’ve had guys out of out of basketball gam we’ve lost some basketball games we’ve blown some
Basketball games so with all that being said I still think this team is playing good basketball they’re not great yeah so they are who they are that’s a very fair assessment they are 36 and 26 they are currently in the six suceed which would be a playoff spot in the Western
Conference the Rockets come in today they’re 28 and 35 they still have an outside shot believe it or not at the play in The Warriors are 33 and 30 Curry’s out at the moment uh the akle turn on Thursday uh MRI didn’t reveal anything that serious he should be back
Shorter than later but potentially could the Rockets five games back of the warriors with about 19 games they go I mean I think they’re still thinking today they’ve got an outside chance of of getting into a play in situation you know Scott let me tell you this uh first
Of all with their personnel I love the Young Guns the Young Guns they’re not scared they’ve had some success those young boys play hard and then the coaching from eme udoka you know he’s a descendant from pop okay the thing about is that he has his basketball team to
Where they’re not going to ever ever quit they’re going to play until the last horn sounds that’s a scary thing when you have a lot of young talent that have fun playing together and then they start having some success now you got a coach that’s like Hey we’re going to
Play we’re going to play hard till the wheels fall off it’s tough we just seen that in San Antonio San Antonio best guy was out but think about it we’ve always said Papa is going to get the best out of every last one of those guys and
He does that eay does the exact same thing that’s the way he coaches so you know to think that Houston’s going to come in and lay down tonight you better think again not going to happen and again it’s another situation with the Kings playing a team below 500 at home
You would think the odds favored them but we’ve seen that it’s been a challenge for the Kings at times this season all right we’ll take the break when we come back we we will break down the Rockets they are an interesting mix of Youth and veteran players of course
Dylan Brook’s in the house he’s warming up now he’s one of the most controversial at times hated players in the NBA we’ll touch on him and then their Center Alfred singon at 21 years old he is being called the new Joker we we’ll touch on that too it’s gam game

Visit citp fest.com brought to you by California Army National Guard major wood home fishings and RVs of Sacramento welcome back in the game day right here sack toown Sports 1140 Kings and Rockets today third meeting between these two teams the rockets blew out Sacramento back in November that was
Those back to bat games early in the year the kings were without Daren Fox and Trey ly in those games so obviously they’ll be different today and obviously Houston’s a different team as well let’s focus in on the Rockets they’re a fun young team as we said the five games out
Of the play and not absolutely dead you know we always talk about the top 10 and we say it’s one through 10 the western conference is incredible and that is certainly the case all 10 teams including the Warriors who are in 10th or above 500 right now but I don’t know
If you can completely count out the Rockets just yet uh they’re 28 and 35 uh it’s a team that is getting better they’ve obviously got got some real talent out there and the rockets might be a team maybe we’ve under uh estimated a little bit this year you know what I
Felt that all year Scott and you know to watch the Sacramento Kings walk into Houston and the way they played that first game I I I was gritting my teeth I’m like uh but then we had a back toback there one game off one day off
Had to play another game I’m like okay the Kings will bounce back Kings got smacked even harder that second game you know yeah so when you look at what’s going on right now I’m pretty sure Houston is down there I don’t care what their record is I’m pretty sure Houston
Is it’s like hey fellas we were able to smack them convincingly in our place all we have to do is go in and play hard at their place and see what happens in the fourth quarter yeah no doubt and obviously those two games were some of the more disappointing games in the year
And I know you’re still mad about those games I am because I know for a fact Scott when it’s all said and done no matter where this team lines up we’re going to be looking at those two games saying we just took care of business with Houston early on that those two
Games were the first two real games we look at the Kings and said oh these both of those are tough losses yeah no doubt that was after they gone down and started tough against uh the Warriors as well early in the season uh but obviously both teams very different
Right now let’s talk about the rockets and you know we can start in a lot of different areas but I think you start with Alper and singon they’re terrific 21y old he’s killing it he is killing it he’s a triple double machine of his own right now and a lot of people are
Comparing him to to a to a mini Joker uh even as a bonus L player you know what I actually was listening to I don’t know if it was Sports Center or ESPN or TNT but they said something that really offended me and it what even about me
Scott it was about that that that that young kid there yeah they’re G to call him a poor man’s yage and I’m like what are you guys a poor man’s yage yeah and there’s nothing poor about him nothing poor about this dude this dude’s game
And I’m Gonna Keep it just on the game because I know they wern’t talking about financially sure sure sure I’m like this dude can play what are you talking about poor man look at the numbers he’s putting up Yep this dude has a a game of
His own he he plays with a style of his own now just because they’re two Europeans and I would say both of them aren’t the most athletic guys around but how are you g to call this man a poor man’s joke you better give this young
Man his flowers this dude can play he can he’s averaging 21.2 points per game nine and a half rebounds five assists over a steal at night he’s just 21 years old he had a triple double in Wednesday’s game against the Clippers a game in which they led by 20 they lost that lead
They’ve won three of the last four you uh or they would have won four in a row if they’d won that game although they did lose to the Clippers on Wednesday but in that game he had 231 19 and 14 this is a guy who’s really finding his
Groove and a lot of people who have thought he he maybe deserved to be on the All-Star team hey you know what a lot of guys deserve to be on that All-Star team it’s tough we know of a couple right it’s tough in the west but
Um how many years have this young man played second year this is his second year and the things that he is doing and you know he’s going to get better that’s the thing about it he is going to get better we we’re just scratching the surface of what he can do he’s getting
Very comfortable out there the numbers he’s putting up and I like the way he plays inside himself he doesn’t try to do things that he can’t do you know he I’m pretty sure he knows he’s limited athletically but he plays to his strength the same way that joker does
You know Joker knows he he don’t have a Above the Rim game he can’t come flying out the air and taking over games like that so he doesn’t he he just does what he does well anytime you’re being compared to the Joker you know you’re doing something right because there’s
Not higher praise in the NBA all right uh Jaylen green another guy who is a high flyer young kid he has had some vicious dunks of late I mean it’s just been incredible the way he’s been playing Above the Rim right now scooter of late he was Rim rattling last year
True I like the way this young kid play you know what I love when I see young talent coming to the NBA and you know especially green green Green was put in a situation to where okay this is your team they gave him the keys early Y and
Say you know we’re gonna go as you go but this young man he isn’t scared and I and I love when you come into the NBA because you know it’s it’s it’s very daunting when you come into the NBA and you see all of these guys that you got
On your wall and you’re right next to them yeah you could easily just you know fall into a shell and say okay you know I might not be in the right spot Jay green ain’t like that no he’s coming he’s going at each and every last one of
These players he going hard the dude is talented he is very talented he does have to pick up just some shooting numbers he’s about 42% from the field 32% from three and I think that’s cuz he ain’t he ain’t saw a shot that he don’t like that’s true that is true there are
No red lights in front of Jen very good point uh you know they got the great uh couple young players to build around and then they’ve got the veterans with Brooks and Van vet let’s talk about Dylan Brooks he might be the number one villain in the NBA and he he
Relishes that role he loves to come out and be the guy who stirs it up and he’s not intimidated by anybody he likes that rule but Draymond Green is the king and you know what funny you mentioned that because Mike Brown in the pregame press conference who did he refer Dylan Brooks
Too Draymond yep he said they’re very similar and he loves players like that because when he was obviously the assistant coach with the Warriors Draymond was that guy who wouldn’t take it from anybody else and set that presence that other teams knew it was going to be a rough day playing against
The Warriors you know why coaches like players like that Scott because first of all they’re hard to find yeah they are very hard to find to find a player that’s not going to take no crap from nobody who’s going to hold everybody accountable and the guy that’s going to
Do the dirty work for the team you know those guys are valuable you know I was surprised that they got rid of Dylan Brooks but I understood why but I knew any team would love to have a guy like that yeah you know same thing with Draymond Green Draymond Green’s Antics
Are Over the Top yeah but let’s keep it real Scott Draymond got four rings yeah his Antics got him four rings so if you ask me has he been successful uh no doubt no doubt and the Antics are one thing but these are very good basketball
Players on top of it so right the antics you can get away with from time to time and sometimes it even helps set a tone if we’re being honest about it uh but the bottom line is Dylan Brooks is a very good guard in this league he is
Scott and I’m GNA tell you you know and sometimes it’s not more of the Antics right because we had a guy here and other G are straight out scared of you around our test oh yeah absolutely other guards were just straight scared of this dude so just with that mindset alone he
Might not even do nothing to you yeah might play a perfect game but you know it’s any absolutely and and and those guys are in your head and they’re scared yep as Mike Brown talked about it again in the press conference just the vibe that players put off when you look at
The other side you know it’s going to be a rough day because you’re going to have to deal with this guy for 48 minutes Scott Kobe and Mike did the same thing I mean you would check in a game and Mike would just stare at you like he was just
Like like you robbed his house you know I mean Kobe Bryant had teammates that he talk to yeah you know I was listening to smos Parker he said he spent two years with Kobe started with Kobe he said me and Kobe never had a conversation my
Locker was right next to him yeah wow but that’s just the way a lot of guys are they want you to fear them yeah yeah Dylan Brooks doesn’t the Kings will have to contend Sacramento looking for their first win against the Rockets when we come back we’re going to go
Around the league so many fun things going on throughout the NBA Luca the dawn doing historical things again six straight triple double games with 30 plus points we’ll break that all down as we said the Warriors losing last night at home to San Antonio it looked like the Steve Kerr lookalike was coaching

On let’s go around the league let’s talk about Luca and what he’s doing now his numbers are incredible he’s doing something that even wilt’s not doing and every time we put out a record We compare it to wilt but this is something that he owns on his own now six straight
Triple Devils scoring 30 points in each of those games last night against the Pistons he went for 3910 and 10 the maps are 36 and 28 they’re looking up at the Kings they’re in the eighth spot in the playin situation is what Lucas is doing right now so great that we should be
Talking about him in the MVP conversation oh for sure for sure but but you know what Scott it’s hard for me to say that because honestly I don’t like Lucas’s game I really don’t usually I can separate the two you know being an analyst I can separate the two but Luca
Cries so much for me that he cries and complains and begs so much in a basketball game it really takes away from me really having the the eye to enjoy what he does out there on the floor he cries every play he don’t take even even when he makes the shot he
Still cries now I can look at numbers to say yes he is killing it the things that he’s doing whenever you put in the conversation of Wilt you know you do you among greatness and he’s got his team winning but I do not like watching him
Play I hear you well the Mavs are a new look team obviously they got Kyrie last year he’s healthy again and they went out and got PJ Washington and Derek Gafford so they’ve got some inside players now can the Mavs make a run this
Year I think so you know I tell you what as much as I don’t like like Lucas game you know I love me some Kyrie Irving yeah I I I think Kyrie Irving is still a freak in this game and then when you put some guys together uh like a PJ all
Right yeah PJ is going to be you know the enforcer he’s going to be a guy that’s going to do the Dirty Work and some other guys around now you just don’t have you know a two- trick pony you got guys that that that’s going to come together they’re going to
Complement each each and every one of them as a team yeah well it’ll be interesting to see where they can go obviously the Kings will be keeping close eye on the Mavericks and by the way Luca to your point he has more teas than anybody in the league 14 he’s a
Couple of way away from potentially losing a game if he were to get 16 in the regular season uh Spurs as we mentioned uh they came in here almost beat the Kings they go down to Golden State yesterday and they beat the Warriors 1263 it’s the first win of the
Year they’ve had without Wy playing they’re now one and eight without wemi the Warriors without Curry are now 0 and four what do I say about Pop’s team never bet against black yeah pop get those guys to play and he gets them to play well and they play hard so if you
Come in and you’re slipping at any little bit San Antonio Spurs might get you no question and they did uh the Warriors are in the 10th spot right now at 33 and 30 they got the great news that Steph Curry’s ankle roll was not anything serious nothing showed up on
The MRI is being re-evaluated on Tuesday but again if he’s out for any period of time as we talked about with this rocket team in right now five games back could the Warriors slip that far you know it’s a bad time to lose your number one guy it’s a bad time to lose
Your number one guy because right now we we talk about the Kings and how every game is crucial for them well it’s crucial for everybody that’s up under the Sacramento Kings also for sure you know everybody needs those last games and if you start slipping and your
Number one guy is out it’s bad I just saw high flyer dunk on the video board here not that they haven’t shown it before but that was sweet yeah and they slowed it down there’s another reverse layup action we got the high F hour going on here I love it hey the limited
Time that kid used to get he used to make the most out of it I can tell you that oh it slamson birthday here too I wonder how old the slamber is let’s he the king started at 85 so I’m guessing he’s you know 39 uh no 40 no no 36 35
When did The Slammer first start at the new Arena no The Slammer came in in 1989 okay at the ar2 no AR one yeah arco2 y because you remember before that the gorilla used to be our mascot he he used to come and do all of our games and
Then Slammer came I think in 89 yeah all right so now make him 35 we we’ll ask the slam at some point I don’t know what he’s doing up there it looked like he was hanging off a cliff on the video board here I was about to
Say don’t he know Lions don’t do well in the air that looks scary to me but anyways happy birthday slamber it was great to see your highlights too that was pretty cool uh other games from yesterday Celtics beating the Suns 117 107 KD went for 45 it wasn’t enough
Against Boston again the suns are without Booker another team without one of their big pieces don’t know how long he’s going to be missing time but the the Suns fell the seven the Kings Leap Frog them as Sacrament now a game ahead of Phoenix what do you make of the Suns
Going down the stretch especially with all their health concerns they’ve had all season long Scott that’s number one number one is your health bro if you you can have all these Superstars you want if you don’t have them at your disposal that means nothing and right now we’ve
Seen how KD is playing KD is playing some great basketball but he not playing enough to where he can get it done by himself he needs those other guys if dbook ain’t out there it hurts you know if Bradley Bill isn’t out there it hurts
KD is on the island by himself yeah no doubt and Boston just continues to dominate things on the Easter Conference as close as the western conference is the East is not the Celtics will be the number one seed they’re eight games up on the Cavs with 19 to go so that one’s
Solidified you know talking about injuries obviously big cat’s going to miss at least month can the timle Wolves hang on to a top four without the Big C another thing Scott Those injuries let me tell you something where’s some wood at with knock on hard y with both hands GNA
Knock on wood for this Sacramento Kings team to be healthy because when you lose your main guy and you trying to make a push even the ones that’s at the top losing cat they’re going to drop I can tell you now I don’t know how far but
You know they still be able to win some games but they’re not going to play the exact same style without cat no doubt they’ve are in second right now they’re tied with the Nuggets uh the Thunder half game had 44- 19 the clips are right there knocking on the door they only
Have 21 losses by the way um that Anthony Edwards block on Thursday night where do you put that in terms of some of the the great blocks you’ve seen bro he’s number one or two unbelievable his head hit the rip at the end of the game to save the game with a left-handed
Block now I will say this I do know how he got up that high he usually don’t jump that high how he got up that high he took off and his man pushed him even higher because I don’t know who he was who because it was two guys being
Guarded yeah he came over when he took off whoever else was up under him took off and pushed him even higher and made him made him able to block that shot but man his head hit hit the rim boy hit up under the Rim Yeah I’m like
Unbelievable that was a game winner a great trackdown from Anthony Edwards ceiling just seems like it’s Unstoppable right now all right games going on in the league today let’s check out the action on a Sunday in the National Basketball Association you’ve got a good one between the Bucks and the clips of
Course Milwaukee is going to be here on Tuesday the loone appearance for Giannis and Lillard looking forward to that they are leading in LA right now 103 to 9 8 uh this Milwaukee team has taken a lot of fire obviously they fired their coach are they a better team you think since
Stock Rivers is taking over no I really can’t say they’re better Scott I would say that they’re starting to learn each other you know he he still at the same team he still has the same guys they they still have the same potency the only thing he’s doing
Is is getting those guys to play together and getting those guys to learn one another that’s it yeah it’ll be fun to see them on Tuesday really interested to see them for the first time especially with the Lillard Giannis combination obviously the Kings played had a heartbreaker on the road Lillard
With Dame time on the Kings and overtime that was a tough one to watch for sure um also today speaking of the Antman the t-wolves are in LA to take on the Lakers the Lakers as we speak right now are in the ninth spot they’re 35 and 30 they’re
Five games above 500 uh Lebron the ankle a little jittery we see how that affects him down the stretch but you have to give the Lakers credit they’re playing good basketball right now for the most part they are yeah but I still feel like the Lakers are going
To go as far as LeBron goes got a good win on Friday night you know against the Bucks they’re starting to play a little bit better the complimentary guys are starting to feel comfortable but it’s still all on lb and AD yeah how hard and
And how much they wanted yeah now I do feel good at the the Kings have all the tiebreakers against the Le Lakers I don’t see La being able to catch Sacramento at this point the kings are four games up in the Lost column that effectively make that five since they do
Own all tiebreakers and that’s a good thing you know they put themselves in a good position with LA so I’m happy about that at least that a team that’s really trying to make a push and uh you know be in contention with them so you know we
Know what New Orleans did us but I don’t know if we’re going to even be in a situation to battle with New Orleans and then you know to be with LA and and and and and and Phoenix both of those teams are the ones that the Kings need to
Worry about when you start talking about those type of numbers yeah the Pelicans are in the five spot right now a game and a half ahead of the Kings but again they own the tiebreakers so they’re essentially two and a half ahead of the pels and it can’t get done it can’t be
Done it absolutely can the Kings do play New Orleans again so they’ll have a chance to make up a game it can be done yep no doubt all right when we come back we’ll focus in on Kings at Rockets the matchup inside sabonis in singon as good

Great Gary Gerald will have the call today 3:00 Kings and Rockets the final matchup of the regular season between these two teams Houston will have this season series regardless they won the first two back in Houston earlier in the year let’s take a look at our injury
Report for today it’s brought to you by the Arnold Law Firm providing Justice for you since 1975 if you’re in your call the honored Law Firm at 916 7777777 for the Kings Daven Mitchell was listed as questionable with a chest injury but he has been updated to
Available for today so the kings are fully healthy for this one today the Rockets have good health as well stepen Adams who they traded for of course is out for the year with the knee injury we’ll see if he ever plays in a rocket uniform he’s out but the otherwise all
The key players for the Rockets are here so we’re going to see both teams in full strength today Henry scooter I thought you couldn’t get traded if you was on the in of Reserve well this goes back early in the year so I would have to go
Back to that but obviously them and Memphis made the trade so right okay yeah I don’t know all the rulings on that but we could look that one up I do know he’s not playing today though yeah I can tell you that much yeah he ain’t
The rest of the year but what I can tell you is uh about this sabonis will he matched up today against alarin singon and that’ll be a good match up in the middle today h that’s going to be a great watch right there because both of those guys are playing at their very
High peak you know it’s it’s one of those situations to where I really want to see how shenon is going to be able to deal with the physicality that sabonis brings on a nightly basis but I’ll tell you what if it’s going to go off the first two games Alfred Alfred shingu
Would won that battle yeah no doubt the Kings have something to prove today there’s no question about that as we said singon is you know being compared to the younger version of a joker and that’s the highest price you can get in the middle so bonus of course it’s just
Been the model of consistency we’ve talked about it all season long but it’s just so true as he continues to just rake up double doubles he’s at 45 in a row now for Sacramento 58 on the year 22 triple doubles 20 points 13 rebounds eight and
A half assists per game you know the the the thing about this game here tonight Scott is that it’s not going to make up for those two that we lost nope but I’ll tell you what it should make the Sacramento Kings feel better if they can beat this basketball team on their home
Floor and say okay early on we let things slide but now we mean business we on a push and we can get those guys at our building and again we hate to project forward because every time we do that we sound kind of silly with the way
The Kings have played this year but if you look at the remainder of this home schedule it’s the bucks on Tuesday the Lakers on Wednesday so you’ve got a backtack at home and then you have the Knicks on Saturday so again on paper which we just roll up and throw away the
Rockets feel like the game the king should get I don’t even have the paper I understand it’s not worth it it’s not worth the paper we’re writing it on to tell you that you know but I know one thing for sure Scott this basketball team almost every team in the west that
That that’s in the fight with us have had their run you know they’ve had their run of eight games 10 games 11 games to where they made their run the Kings need their run yeah we need to get on get on a heater and get our run so we can be
Where we’re going to be in this uh playoff push because if we can’t do that I mean I’m not saying still going 500 or playing as they’ve been playing won’t get them there but they need to get on that run to get some separation as we
Know the kings are going to have a lot of home games their home record right now just 17 and 11 it’s not terrible but it’s not great either no but you want to start having some home cooking yeah you want to start having some dominance on this home floor and really Scott you
Want to be playing some of your best basketball going into playoffs because this is going to be a different type of playoff uh year it’s not going to be like it was last year where a bunch of teams are hurt a bunch of teams got guys missing you know everybody is almost
Full full-fledged ready to go yeah no doubt all right Dylan Brooks today we know he’s the instigator he we know he’s a very physical player today how did the Kings match up against that you know what don’t let DB get up under your skin that’s when you let him win if you let
Him bother you if you let him get you you you know angry and uh try to get you to do something to go right back at him he won yeah just play your game play hard you know what and try to flip the script on him see if you can get him out
Of his character yeah you can’t let it become mental against a Dylan Brooks for sure and obviously Kevin herder’s going to see some time against him herder’s been struggling of late after coming back on anything you’ve seen with Kevin Kevin’s going to really have to dig deep into hisself and say okay what
Am I going to be am I going to be a guy that everybody picks on that everybody isol that everybody goes at or I’m or or am I going to be a guy that’s going to be able to stay in front of somebody that’s going to be able to take some
Contact and then deliver out a hard foul if need be yep no doubt and then if you’re in the paint and you see jayen green coming 94 feet and he’s about ready to rock it up you kind of you want to get out of the way so you’re not
Involved with that potion today hey I’m going tell you what if you if you a guy that can’t get over the rim yourself you might want to slide to the side all right that’s going to do it for game day hry is always great to work with you and
Have a great call today thank you very much all right coming up next it’s Kings live pregame Jason Ross will be here the high flyer stays the Gman joints we’ve got you covered all afternoon long should be a fun one today from the golden one Center Kings and Rockets it’s
Houston’s only appearance of the year the way the schedule worked out only three times these two teams m match up two of them were in Houston so our chance to see and up and coming Houston team 28 and 35 they’re not out of the play in possibilities just five games
Back of the Warriors at this point for the Kings trying to keep in a top six position as they continue their home stand Kings basketball coming your way all afternoon long keep it tuned right here sack toown Sports 1140 you never know what you might hear when listening to a Sacramento Kings
