Game Thread: Knicks at Kings- 12/27/14

Hi! The Knicks are out west. They're in Sacramento tonight. They're gonna play basketball against the Kings. I said "the Knicks" before, but first of all, "the Knicks" are barely a thing and, on top of that, a chunk of that barely-a-thing will sit tonight. We know Amar'e Stoudemire is probably out for the whole road trip because of knee soreness. J.R. Smith is going to rest his torn-up foot, too. That leaves:

Head coach Derek Fisher says #Knicks starters vs Kings are: Calderon, Hardaway Jr., Melo, Jason Smith, Aldrich.

Yeah, Melo and his sore knee continue to play. I wish they wouldn't!

Oh, here's a Kings thing:

GET HIM, COLE.

If you're up to watch the Knicks with me from 10 PM to 12:30 AM on a Saturday, this is your game thread. Sactown Royalty is a great Kings blog. Please don't post large photos, GIFs, or links to illegal streams in the thread. After this game is done, there will be one fewer 2014-2014 Knicks game remaining. Here's to that!
