The

The Hey, everybody.

The NBA All-Star break is in our rearview mirror. Thank goodness for that.

As it is the stretch drive with 27 games left for the Sacramento Kings. Their first game back will be against the Golden State Warriors, and that is going to be a big, big game.

Rhino, Jerry, hope that you enjoy the

All-Star break, fashion your seatbelts, because here we go, Rhino. Yes, indeed. This is going to be

a fun stretch of basketball. It's going to be a telling stretch of basketball, Jerry. Yeah, it is.

I mean, there's no doubt about it. This team's really got to come out of the box and start winning games.

Obviously, you know, the Warriors coming up, that's going to be with Jimmy Butler.

The addition is going to be a lot tougher go there.

Obviously, the Hornets, you know, that's a must win.

I mean, if you, you know, so, yeah, you're going to know in the first five, seven, eight games, really what the chances are of moving up in the standings.

Unless this team starts playing better defense, I just don't see it.

I mean, we can talk all you want about Markell Fultz joining the team.

You can talk all you want about having the bench

now with Alan Chunas, who gives this team really, I think, a very nice addition. But, you know,

if you don't play better defense, especially with the schedule coming up, guys, it's a daunting

schedule. I don't see a lot of wins. Well, it's going to be tough because, I mean, you've got some really good teams coming in.

You know, the Cavs, the Knicks, teams like that, Celtics are all, I mean, you've got to deal with them at home even, much less the road game.

So, you know, it's going to be a tough part of the schedule.

I mean, the Kings have really had really realistically a pretty easy go up to date.

But really this last part of the schedule, especially in the March, is really tough.
