Thought there were some metrics he had to meet to to next season. I can’t believe, even for the Kangz that they would set the bar so low that he could meet the goals set for his continuing employment. If he has a contract as an assistant regardless then good for him

The team sucks, he has no expectations, so why not just experiment? Get loose with it? He’s coaching as if there’s a difference between losing by 3 compared to 30.

I think he knows the only way he’s retained is if the Kings make the play-in. So he’s going to do what he can to save his job and keep it.

I loss is a win in my books, so I’m not that salty about yet another team wet farting in our faces all day, but as I watch this game I can’t help but wonder when we’re going to consider and embrace the idea that this team is cursed. Like curse of the Bambino/Billy Goat lite

We’re worse than the sum of our parts, and it doesn’t matter how quality those parts are. I’m convinced that you could put prime LeBron, MJ and Air Bud in a Kings uniform and we’d still be 20 games under .500

Okay I’m just pitching this because I bet the Kursed Kangz merch would be awesome

If the team is cursed (and that sounds as reasonably probable as any other explanation) what does that say about us?

As fans? It means we’re all cursed too! Sports fandom is “an allegiance to laundry” as someone I knew once put it, and yet I can’t shake my emotional attachment to a team that’s an actual joke to the rest of the sports world

I’m just trying to think of clever origin stories and notable cursed events we can include in the timeline. 2002, the monkeypaw that was Vivek saving the team, Tyreke peaking in his rookie season, the failed Boogie-IT-Rudy experiment, Luka and puke guy are all great highlights I think

Makes as much sense as anything. Was happy to see that IT got a 10 day with the Hornets I think. Love the little dude….his injuries could not have manifested at a worst time. Went from a stud in Boston to struggling for a small part of vets minimum with whatever team needs a cheap body.

Be pretty surprised if the Pels don’t end up in the 9th spot. The Lakers just suck donkey balls right now.

This loss should do it for any hope for the play in. Might as well tank the rest of the way. Get a new coach, get a high draft pick and make a couple of good trades this summer and come back next year and do the same fucking thing….

I don’t do math. What is the point where we are mathimatically (fuck can’t even spell it) eliminated from having even the smallest chance to make the 10 spot?

Basically once the Lakers clinch. That’ll be awhile with the way they’re playing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Kings or Lakers end up at the 10th spot with like 32 wins.

Actually, can’t forget about the Spurs since they are in the mix technically too. The Spurs have a much better chance than either the Lakers or Kings of getting to 35 wins so they likely end up in the 10th spot for the playin.

The way I look at it, there’s really no downside to any of these games. If they win and manage to make the playin, who knows? Perhaps they could make the playoffs. It wouldn’t be impossible regardless.

Or if they continue to lose as they have they get a shot at a very high pick. I’m not really torn about either outcome because I think both are ultimately helpful.

Well, I don’t get that down about things like this hardly at all anymore. I’m not sure I ever really did, if I’m being honest.

I guess I just don’t see the point. If this isn’t your cup of tea, find a new hobby is my thought. Nobody is putting a gun to your head to be a Kings fan.

I gave up on this season and hit Tankathon around turkey day. It seemed to me that this year’s roster was every bit as terrible (though in different ways) as the ones that came before it.

I’m glad we have Sabonis. I’d continue to kick the tires on Mitchell for his defense and energy alone. I’m hoping that Fox can claw his way back to respectability in the eyes of the league by the season, for trade purposes. I’m hoping there’s an off-season market for Holmes and Barnes. The rest of the roster represents trade filler.

I just want to turn over…say…75% of the roster, move up the draft ladder, and land a good coach.
