Kings vs. Thunder Preview: That Imagine Dragons Song sucks
Things might not all be normal in the Kingdom right now, but this team still has basketball games in front of them that need winning. After dropping what should have been one of their easier games against a shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers squad, the Kings now face one of their toughest tests of the season in the 37-9 Oklahoma City Thunder. Oklahoma City has lost just three games at homes all season and thrashed the Kings 130-109 in their sole previous matchup this season. Toppling them will be no easy feat.
Let’s talk Kings basketball!
When: Saturday, February 1st, 5:00 PM
Where: Paycom Center, Oklahoma City, OK
TV: NBC Sports California
Radio: Sactown Sports 1140 AMFor Your Consideration
The Thunder might just be the best team in the NBA this season, even though they’re a couple of wins behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for the overall #1 seed. Oklahoma City has become turbocharged on both ends of the floor this year, where they’re #1 in defensive rating and #6 in offensive rating. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is probably the only one who could threaten Nikola Jokic for the MVP award at this point, as he’s leading the league in scoring at 32.5 points a game on 52.8% from the field to go with 6 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks. Jalen Williams is also having a fantastic year, having been recently named an All-Star for the first time.
This Thunder roster is stacked from top to bottom, possessed with elite top end talent and one of the deepest benches in the league. They’re so deep that they only have two players (SGA & Jalen) that average over 30 minutes a game, and nobody averages 35. They’ve managed to hold onto the best record in the West despite losing arguably their second best player, Chet Holmgren, 10 games into the season. Their 11.9 net rating is 3rd in NBA history to only the 1995-96 and 1996-97 Bulls. That means their average margin of victory is greater even than the Warriors team who won 73 games. In fact, they have yet to lose a game by double digits. How Sam Presti isn’t the highest paid GM in the league or being poached to be the highest paid GM in the league is beyond me.
If the Thunder have any weakness, it’s their relative size and rebounding. For an elite team, they’re only 27th in Defensive Rebounding Rate and 21st in Offensive Rebound Rate. However, they make up for it by not even giving you the opportunity to shoot. Oklahoma City leads the NBA in steals at 11.2 a game. In fact, three of the NBA’s top 6 players in steals per game are on the Thunder (SGA, Jalen and Cason Wallace). The Thunder use those steals to produce a league leading 23.2 points off turnovers, while on the other hand barely turning the ball over themselves (they average the 2nd fewest turnovers in the league).
It’s going to take a near perfect game for the Kings to win this one on the road, and the Kings have been playing anything but perfect basketball as of late. With the trade rumors swirling as well, that has to factor in as a distraction this team doesn’t need right now. But if they hope to make the playoffs, they need to start making up some ground. I’m hoping for a big game from Domantas Sabonis personally, as he took just 6 shots against the 76ers the other day. The Kings need to do a better job of featuring him against smaller teams as a primary offensive weapon. Sabonis also needs to stop passing up open threes (something he did multiple times against Philadelphia) considering he’s one of the team’s best shooters. I’d also like to see Keegan Murray continue to be aggressive in attacking the basket. He’s been getting to the rim with some regularity lately, and he’s also finishing with authority. The Kings guards in particular (Fox, Monk, Ellis) need to watch the careless passes with Oklahoma City’s ballhawks watching, they’ll force you to make plenty of mistakes on your own without factoring in self-inflicted wounds too. It’s going to be tough, but a win tonight would do a lot for morale and momentum going forward.
Prediction
DeMar DeRozan has a throwback game and scores a season-high 42 points, including the game winner over SGA.
Kings 117, Thunder 116
The highly anticipated matchup between the Sacramento Kings and Oklahoma City Thunder is just around the corner, and fans are buzzing with excitement. However, there’s one thing that has been bothering many basketball enthusiasts – that awful Imagine Dragons song that plays during Thunder games.As soon as the opening chords of “Thunder” start blaring through the speakers, it’s hard not to cringe. The repetitive lyrics and generic beat make it one of the most annoying sports anthems in recent memory. And yet, for some reason, it continues to be played at Thunder games, much to the dismay of fans.
But fear not, Kings fans. Despite having to endure the torture of that terrible song, Sacramento is ready to take on the Thunder and come out victorious. With a talented roster led by De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield, the Kings are poised to give Oklahoma City a run for their money.
So, as we gear up for this exciting matchup, let’s all collectively agree on one thing – that Imagine Dragons song sucks. But hey, at least we have some great basketball to look forward to. Let’s go Kings!

Dan Scarr issues rally cry ahead of Wrexham vs Stevenage as Red Dragons face huge February challenge
After returning to the starting lineup last week, Dan Scarr has now called on his Wrexham teammates to step up a gear and finish January on a high with a win against Stevenage.
Last time out, Wrexham earned a point in a 1-1 draw with league leaders Birmingham, though many Red Dragons fans believe they should have taken all three.
Dan Scarr made his first appearance for Phil Parkinson’s side since November after a battle with fitness and form, and is now looking ahead to more outings.
With the Wrexham vs Stevenage game coming up tonight, Scarr is under no illusions that his team need to get all three points, as they go into a tricky period next month.

Speaking to The Leader ahead of the Stevenage game, Scarr reflected on a solid performance against Birmingham, and insisted the Wrexham squad now need to build on that when they face Stevenage.
“We were disappointed not to get the three points against Birmingham but if we can back it up on Tuesday at home, it’s a great result,” he said. “How we played second half, if we kick on and play like that, especially in the next few games, I don’t think teams will live with us and we can get some good points on the board.”
This game against Stevenage will be the last time Wrexham play at the Racecourse Ground until March, and Scarr claims the team must use that as motivation.
He added: “We need to build on that point, hopefully win this home game against Stevenage and then that puts us in a good position leading into these away games.”

It will be interesting to see what lineup Parkinson goes with against Stevenage, considering the hectic and difficult schedule ahead in February.
Away league games are to come against Crawley, Northampton, and Mansfield, with the rescheduled EFL Trophy tie against Port Vale sandwiched in between.
Given the league positions of those three opponents in League One — 12th placed Mansfield are currently the highest-placed opposition for Wrexham in February — you would hope the Red Dragons can get the results they need to keep up their title charge.
However, Wrexham’s poor away form has been a real concern this season, and it could potentially see their season derailed next month if improvements are not made.

With the support of the fans behind them, Scarr believes that Wrexham can rise to the occasion and come out on top in the upcoming matches. The team will need to be at their best to overcome the tough opposition they will face in February, but Scarr is confident that they have what it takes to succeed.
As Wrexham prepares for their clash against Stevenage, all eyes will be on the Red Dragons as they look to kick off the month with a strong performance. With Scarr leading the charge, Wrexham will be looking to make a statement and continue their push for promotion.

In the Pokemon Trading Card Game, players build decks around their favorite Pokemon and then play against each other, sending their Pokemon into battle to prove who the best Pokemon Trainer is. Players can begin with theme decks – pre-constructed decks designed to cover the basics of the game.

With thousands of cards to choose from, the game is never the same twice.Card Name: Magikarp

A single individual card from the Pokemon trading and collectible card game (TCG/CCG).
This is of Common rarity.
From the BW – Dragons Exalted set.
You will receive the 1st, Unlimited Edition version of this card.
In the world of Pokemon, there are some creatures that may seem weak at first glance but have the potential to become powerful allies. One such Pokemon is Magikarp, a Water-type fish Pokemon known for its feeble appearance and limited moveset.In the Black & White – Dragons Exalted expansion set, Magikarp (23) takes center stage as a card that showcases its evolution into the mighty Gyarados. With its Ability, Swift Swim, Magikarp becomes faster in rainy weather, allowing it to outspeed opponents and strike first in battle.
Additionally, Magikarp’s attack, Flail, deals more damage the lower its HP, making it a formidable threat even when on the brink of defeat. With the right support cards and strategy, Magikarp can surprise opponents and turn the tide of battle in your favor.
So don’t underestimate Magikarp – its potential for growth and power should not be overlooked. Train it well, evolve it into Gyarados, and watch as this seemingly weak Pokemon becomes a force to be reckoned with in the Pokemon TCG.
