2023-24 Season | Game #48 | Kings @ Cavs | Feb. 5, 2023 | 7:00 p.m.

[KilgoreTrout]

23-41 (56%) from three.

Kings had no answers.

Now tied for #2 seed with the Bucks.

Dare I say it? JBB would have been a more deserving ASG coach than Doc. Might he have BEEN the coach, but for the Bucks’ massive comeback, the other night?

Don better finish top 5 in MVP voting again. I'd argue it should be top 3.

Can the Cavs convince him to stay?

Sabonis is debuting a brand new NBA accessory next time out!

Correct on both counts.

But it’s ok. We need to beat Doc or any other coach in the playoffs. He can take his one win to the ASG. He never learned that being a tank commander is never good in the playoffs.

[Futuredome]

Strus having a big game was key. It made everything Mitchell did twice deadly
