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 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
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.
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.

Good point!
It’s all I got
Fun half ! Too much homerism begging for calls !
Fox is an expert at drawing fouls, despite the new rules
He also sucks at shooting
You would have to bring that up
Occasionally he makes a pass.
Any of the Pels who wants to take a lay up is free to do so
I’m gonna get this thread up to 20 if I have to do it myself
And 1.
Thanks Rob
I got your back, BJ.
Can we end the Justin Holiday starting experiment?
Yes please…
Lucky us. He’s on the books next season.
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
I get he’s not responsible for this dumpster fire of a team but Alvin Gentry has really been about as inspiring as some day old french fries
He’s not doing a lot, IMO, to merit keeping him at this point.
Yeah, marginally better than Walton but I’m not sure Pop or Phil Jackson could get this group to the play in
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 would hate trying to go to sleep every night with that thought running thru my head
I can’t imagine he expects he’ll be here next year.
or wants to be here next year unless he’s head coach and that ain’t gonna happen
Good point.

I’ve definitely embraced this fully.
If the team is cursed (and that sounds as reasonably probable as any other explanation) what does that say about us?

The constant refrain for the Kings. Wait till next year. On the plus side better draft pick.
So, in a do or die game, we’re getting blown out. This is so Kangz of this team.
Pet peeve: Offensive fouls should not count as TOV’s.
I think Valaciunas is about to blow a gasket! I love it!
They really need to shorten the NBA regular season
We’d still have the same losing percentage
The eternal suckfest.
Enjoy.
5 minutes left, down 17. “This game is not out of hand.” Thanks Kayte
Let’s talk draft picks
Does this mean I’m gonna have to watch college ball?
Watch random euro players…
Be pretty surprised if the Pels don’t end up in the 9th spot. The Lakers just suck donkey balls right now.
538 currently gives the Pels 9th & SA & LAL tied for 10th.

Oh man, I almost spit my drink right there. Sad but true.
Looking at the score I’m actually happy to be working late!!!
It was worse watching and listening ! Torture in both areas ! At least my name. fits this shitshow 🤣🤣
FU Kangz!
Wow. What a comeback by Milwaukee against Miami. That’s going to be a loss that stings for Miami.
It is funny how bad this team performs. Kind of like Brandon.
.
Brandon Ingram?
Good guess, I have no idea
JB
Jon Barry hasn’t played in years. Why bring him up now?
We need him.
🥱
They need to burn everything down except Sabonis to prevent this organization from rubbing off on him.
Can this brother get an Amen?
Hate to see the new arena go but…..this is simply something that must end,
Kings lose, Pels win, Pacers win
KINGS WIN!!!

That is a realistic and positive way a of looking at a very negative and depressive condition known as Kangzland.
