Make that 4-67. That mofo is really just throwing the ball at the goal. You’re supposed to “shoot” it Buddy. Gat dammit.

Still think the Kings would have been better off tanking, dumping assets, i.e, Barnes/Buddy for something, picks at least.

Making the play-in looks doubtful to me.

Opponents have been pushing the pace and attacking the rim against us because they know the recent scouting report.

We shoot 3s and post up one on one against the 29th ranked defense in the league.

Might be the 1st to say this but I think our coach is bad

I’m not saying this is an above average team, but the reality is we’re a half game out of the 10th seed with this ragtag group. Still in the hunt. There’s SOME talent on this team.

A better coach would not have our defense ranked dead last and we would have stole a few more games earlier in the year. We’d be at least a .500 team.

Anything is possible, but a loss tonight turns into 4 game losing streak. The matter at hand is better teams are above us, but I still hope we get it. It’s a longshot, imo.

On pace to go 36-46 in an 82 game season. That’s not a good team, no matter how bad the coach is.

It depends whether u think Luke has maximized the talent and production of this team.

Which he has not, especially defensively and as a motivator to play hard every game.

I guess the Knicks have better talent than we do and the coach means nothing

if buddy has to do anything but catch and shoot, he sucks and his percentages tank. This team for either terrible coaching or lack of skill seems to ask him to do more than that. That’s why he sucks. He just isn’t a well rounded player at all

It never surprises me anymore, but it also never stops disappointing me how bad this team is. I really hope we find some way to trade buddy for a 3 and D guy, even a guy who can’t shoot that well. I’m pretty sure almost any team would take a guy like Thybulle over a shooting specialist who hurts your team if he doesn’t score 25 a night. I’m not blaming Buddy for our entire team’s struggles, but he is almost the only one who drags the team down if he doesn’t score in bunches. Sad fuckin team

Ant 1 Hali 0

I love Hali. But, Edwards has the much higher ceiling. You can see it tonite.

Edwards is going to be special.

Just for Info. Those 3 have only played 3 games together and their 3-0.

So much for that vaunted Kings bench. Somebody in the last game was comparing Davis to Donovan? Not even remotely close. But, you can show up against the T-Pups hellacious defense? Lol!

Everybody expect Edwards to play like a veteran in all area’s and they all forget he is still 19 years old even today!!! This kid has crazy skill sets future superstar…reminds me of Kobe at 19 crazy skills low shooting percentage! Still love Tyrese but he is already 21 but I know he is a absolute key to the Kings future and he does so many things well we are blessed to have him…lets get on with the tank and pray for lottery luck!

The Kings bench scored 16 points, making McNair look a bit foolish (I bet CoJo and Bjelly would have done better). By contrast, T-wolves players off the bench scored a whopping 60 points (thanks in large part to Russell)!

Fuck the Kings. Can we use expletives on this site? This organization can’t do anything right. I know the Kings Pulse podcast guys (who I highly enjoy) had to temper their negativity (seemed like they were getting pressured to be positive after the 5 wins or whatever) but their initial negativity with the trade deadline deals (or lack thereof) were totally valid and this team again is stuck in the worst position of not a playoff team and out of the top 5 picks in a strong draft. Fuck!
