72-55 GS at half. At this point, I'm only hoping the Kings lose by 11 pts or less.
How's Keegan Doing?

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Indiana Pacers in Las Vegas to win the in-season tournament and lift the inaugural NBA Cup.
GS wants this win bad. Kerr always calls a TO when the Kings are within 10-12 pts. After tonight, the Kings don't play GS until Jan 25th of January thank goodness.
The Kings win 124-123 and win West Group C.
The Kings will host the New Orleans Pelicans (winners of West Group B) in the round of 8 of the in-season tournament.

I'm glad I was wrong about the Kings losing. Didn't think they could get it done after being behind as many points as they were. What a comeback. Super happy for Coach Brown, the Kings, and especially Malik!
The Kings kept missing FTs; I thought that was going to cost them the game. They were just 27-42 from the charity stripe.
Well, they may have finally gotten GS out of their heads tonight.
I have to pay attention to what is regular season and what is in-season tournament
so, when the final 8 teams play and then the final 4 and then the championship game, are the other teams in the league playing?

apparenty TV ratings have been good for the in-season tourney
They'll expand the loser's bracket to form an "NIT" version for the shitty teams next year.... 😎
I turned it off. Kinda wished I woulda stuck it out lol. Nice win for the Kings. Hopefully Murray is back soon.16-4 GS in rebounds so far.5-0 in offensive rebounds as well.
It seems like one of those weird soccer playoffs instead of a hoops tourney.What follows is from an ESPN story this afternoon on where things stand in the in-season tournament. The winners of the 6 groups (3 East, 3 West) advance along with 2 wild cards (1 East, 1 West).

Sacramento wins if:
For example: Golden State beats Sacramento 100-89 and Minnesota beats Oklahoma City 100-79. In that scenario, Sacramento would have a point differential of plus-18, Golden State would be plus-16 and Minnesota would be plus-18, and Sacramento would advance due to beating Minnesota head-to-head.
- it beats Golden State
- it loses to Golden State by less than 12 points AND the combined margin of Sacramento's loss and Minnesota's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder is less than 33 points.
Golden State wins the group if:
For example: Golden State beats Sacramento 100-88 and Minnesota beats Oklahoma City 100-81. In that scenario, Golden State and Sacramento would be tied at plus-17, and Minnesota would be plus-16, and Golden State would advance by winning the head-to-head matchup with Sacramento.
- it beats Sacramento AND Minnesota loses to Oklahoma City
- it beats Sacramento by at least 12 points AND Minnesota's margin of victory is no more than 7 points bigger than Golden State's.
Minnesota wins the group if:
For example: Golden State beats Sacramento 100-90, and Minnesota beats Oklahoma City 100-77. In that scenario, Minnesota would finish plus-20, Sacramento plus-19 and Golden State plus-15, and the Timberwolves would win the group.

I was ready to do the same, but I wanted to see if the Kings could keep it less than 12 pts in a loss.
Probably so. I've heard "Pros and Cons" for the IS Tourney. Personally, I thinks it's kinda cool. However, the teams that end up in Vegas will have less rest than those who didn't advance.
No rest for the weary! J/K Clippers @ Sac tonight at 9 PM on NBA TV. Could be tough. Go Kings. Keegan out tonight per KOLO8 News.
Amazing meltdown by dramon and co last nite.
In short order Greene got a tech, then a dumb shooting foul 45 ft from goal, then misses a three and turns it over up 1 with 22 seconds left.
Fox missed 8 fts ...yikes. They survived thanks to monks clutch three and then improbable winning bucket. Guy is a straight baller!

72-50 Clips leading the Keegan-less Kings. After yesterday's game, it will be extraordinarily difficult to come back for a W. Kings will get a couple of days off until they welcome the Nuggets to Golden 1. Hopefully, Keegan will play then.
AS a hawks fan and long time kings fan... it is so damn frustrating to watch little defense be played on both teams... live and die by the three. I turned the warriors game off at half. Need to save my patience for Saturday night. I was pleased to see that they came back.
Good to see Keegan back in action yesterday as the Kings took down the Nuggets 123-117. Keegan had 8 pts, 5 rebs, and an assist. Kings take on the Pelicans tomorrow night at home @ 9PM on TNT. It's another In-Season Tourney game. The winner(s) move on to semis in Vegas.
At the half, the visiting Pelicans hold an 8 point lead (69-61). Keegan with 8 points, 1 reb, and 1 ast in 12:04.
Keegan with 11 pts and playing nice defense against Brandon Ingram.
lower back pain sucks; that shooting pain can strike at any time
I'm a victim of LBP too. Sucks. The Pels have outscored the Kings in the first three quarters. Kings need a big run in the 4th and get some STOPS.
damn; remember that Maryland fan who went into cardiac arrest at CHA? He survived.
New Orleans (12-10) wins at Sacramento (11-8) 127-117.

As I have said, this is a really lousy matchup for Sac, especially that CJ McCollum is back with a healthy Zion and the King killer, Ingram. Flush it and move on to the next game. Keegan getting his shot back. Nice.
