Countdown to Game #1 - Utah Jazz @ Sacramento Kings

Really only a few people had truly good games: Gobert, Ingles, Exum, Burks were the 4 that really stuck it most of the night. Favors bounced back and came on strong at the end. Crowder did fine, but if that is all he has to offer he won't play much. But the rest really need some work. First game jitters. Mitchell started to look in form toward the end of the night. Rubio just got out of the blocks poorly. They need some solid game tape sessions and practice before the next one. Shake off the rust, get the gears to mesh. We will still come on strong. When we are firing on all cylinders we will be impossible to beat.

He does all this while majority in here think he looks exhausted...

Fixed it for you. And its a fact that he looks exhausted. Thats not hating on him or criticizing him. Its simply true and kinda funny.
Exum played great.
 
I’m on a belated two-week honeymoon in Egypt, so I got to wake up at 5am to catch the second half. Lots of rust in this thang, but a lot of bright spots. Donny pulled through, Favors is reliable, Ingles is The Wizard of Aus(tralia), and of course Rudy made his mark. A bit concerned about Ricky, but I think he’ll get it back. Excited about AB and Exum. Very nice prospects for this season. Next game against GSW will be a good test.

Here's a proud pic in front of the Temple of Hatshepsut. I think it was like 217 degrees at the time.

Wow, thats bad ***.
Congrats bro. Great looking couple.
 
That was a good game! The young Kings were on a rampage to start the 1st and 3rd q's, Burks and Exum looked great and stopped a lot of the bleeding.

Willie Cauley Stein has improved so much its crazy to see the quality takes he's going at Rudy like that.

Derrick Favors was hilariously unstoppable, completely mauled Harry Giles -- Welcome to the league kid! Favors looked about as strong as all the Kings bigs combined in this game.

Ingles starts off the season blisteringly hot.

De'Aaron Fox looked good, even vs Exum who's a game defender.

Man, Rubio played what has to be the worst game of his career: Missed shots, turnovers (the very few good passes he had didn't add points because the shooter would miss the layup), bad defense, in foul trouble early because of a stupid foul on a 3, plus when he had to stop Cauley-Stein going for the dunk because Rudy didn't get back in time... and on and on. It felt like he had a grey cloud raining on top of him from the start. Next stop Curry, which doesn't bode well, but he tends to play him great.

It speaks volumes that it was a W. Great TEAM effort. Exum & Burks & Jae were amazing. Ingles is a boss.
