Man, I don't even remember that you were in that argument. I know I wasnt. Sensitive much? It's all good, just taking a piss in good fun. Carry on.

no.. not sensative... after rashly posting that thought about moving on... I quickly recanted and smoothed over what i was trying to say via edit.. that there are disagreements all the time on this forum/board and that as quickly as they become a thing.. they disappear...

danny loves numbers and statitstics.. he is likely a finance type... i am a sales type and like the somewhat more abstract views ...... thats why we are bound to bump into each other on topics... and you need both views to keep any discussion honest.

If I did the budget for my household, my household would be a cardboard box. Can't manage money to save my life. Theoretical dollars are fun - real ones are slippery.

I would have bet folding money that with the frequency you use stats and analytics in your posts that you were a math/finance guy...

Yeah, I saw your edit. No worries. Happy posting. Can't say I'm not one to disagree at times too.

The streak was supposed to be with Joey but then DS jumped in last time, so now I'm not sure which way is up.

Game #6: Sacramento Kings 96 - Toronto Raptors 91

Team dysfunction come in after yet another bad loss on the road being beaten by the Bucks by 26. You can almost hear the unravelling of the Kings season if you listen closely but what else would you expect from a team run by the worst front office in ALL of professional sports. Kings have an all star C in Cousins who if he wants to play can make life miserable for anyone. Key is if he wants to play. They feature a declining Rudy Gay at SF and a guy at SG who they want to unload in McLemore and the DUI king Lawson at PG. They are playing a road back to back and coach Dave Joeger must be having a come to jesus moment on why he left Memphis..

Raps coming off a nice win over the heat by 9 points. None of the starters are hurt or limping and the bench is coming off a very good performance against Miami led by Ross's 20 point night, a very solid 20 or so minutes from Jacob Poeltl and the high motor Norman Powell getting court time and making the most of it. Demar is having a start like no other and with no real interior defense he will keep the 30+ streak going. The Raps have had a day off and should be rested and ready.


Starting Lineups

Kyle vs Lawson at PG - Edge to the Raps
Demar vs Affalo at SG .. Edge Raps
Demarre vs Gay at SF - Even
Siakam vs Cousins at PF - Why they start Boogie at PF is intersting but Big Edge to the Kings
Jonas vs Koufos at C - Edge to Raps
Raps Bench vs Kings Bench - Edge to Raps


Keys to the Game.

Keeping Boogie distracted. Goad him. Foul him. Take his mind off the business at hand.
DD owning Affalo and McLemore.
Build on the good 3 point shooting from Miami. Make at least 7 from beyond the arc.
Sacto turns it over 15 plus a game... make them exceed their average and win the rebounding battle with Cousins and Cauley-Stien.

Fearless and Completely Biased Prediction

Raps take care of business and hit the road with a 5-1 record even though Sacto usually gives them trouble at home and on the road.

What ? Me worry ?

Joerger seems like a good coach so far but that roster is just yikes.
