Last note of the night, Mitch went out with 5min left in the third and didn’t come back. We were down 14 at the time.

The thing that concerns me about RJ-the sloth, is RJ himself. He is on the trading block this off season for sure, as has been since last summer, from what I know.

The only thing that concerned me about this game was RJ’s train of thought at the end going for twos with no timeouts and time running down. That showed a shocking lack of game intelligence.

Why did Atlanta give up Kevin Huerter?

I was just saying the other day that the Kings have been on the other end of these inexplicable trades, and now they’re on the winning side. The Hawks just decided to dump a key rotation guy for simply money reasons, right before the rest of the team forgot how to shoot threes. Hilariously inept from ownership in Atlanta to push that trade. No way was that a GM deal.

Yeah, the West looks like garbage this year. Where would Denver rank right now if it played in the East? 4th? 5th?

They fought till the end, never quit, despite poor first half and shots not falling all game. Not many teams would do that. That’s another positive.

I’m not worried about either loss in the macro sense. Randle and IQ played like shit and Brunson got hurt, that’s gonna lose you games, and yet they were still in it at the end. That’s not something that worries me overall. If Randle and IQ go into slumps and Brunson is really hurt, then okay, I’ll be concerned. But for now, whatever, not really much of a big deal, and it was impressive they came as close as they could to winning. In fact, Sacramento and the Western Conference, in general, have to be embarrassed as how hard it was for the Kings to put the Knicks down tonight. A super cold Knicks team still almost pulled this out based on sure grit. That’s not what you want to see while playing another team as the #2 seed in a conference. If you’re a #2 seed and the other team is cold as shit, you better win that game outright.

* Kings are really good at exploiting bad defenders

* Why did Atlanta give up Kevin Huerter?

* We really took the efg%/ORB split to the extreme tonight

If you wanna take something positive from this loss, Josh Hart was fucking awesome.
