It is NOT rooting against the Sacramento Kings. It is rooting for the least expensive way of improving this team dramatically. Can you see that? Vivek said not to expect much from this year and we aren't getting anything. I presume he means something good will happen in the future and although I was momentarily blinded and thought we had a team that gave a crap or had a minimum of competence, I am back to looking at what the future can bring just as Vivek is. There is no way that anyone can say that what is happening was not planned even if to some it hurts and to others it makes no sense. It just plain IS.
[Game] Bobcats-Kings - 1/4/14 - 7 p.m. PST
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
So DMC is going to be the future, we know that. We need a PG who can see the court and can make plays happen, as well as shoot the 3. Obviously the players they have don't complement each other nor do they like each other and the result is hero mode shooting and no help on D. So a few players will probably need to go I'm guessing
I can honestly say that in the last 7 years. Through all the coaches and crap players not once not 1 single solitary time have I ever hoped for the Kings to lose. This is the only team I watch with any care. If the day comes IF that day ever comes that I am sitting and watching and I am hoping we lose. I will turn off the TV and cancel league pass because what's the point after that moment.
If every single year the top 5 in the draft were future hall of famers or we never made the wrong pick I would still want MY team to win.

I agree. I think we need more of a defensive pass first pg. It should have been Kendall Marshall or Erick Bledsoe, but oh well. Isaiah is the best bench PG in the league no doubt.. and there lies the problem. He's a scoring off the bench player that we're forcing to be a passing pg. IT doesn't make the team better as our starting pg. We need a pg who will help make plays for his teammates and be able to make the overall team better.
This is the first time I have ever rooted for the Kings to lose. After years of being a little kid watching the Kings, even though they always seemed to lose more than they won, I stuck with them. I could've hopped on the lakers bandwagon (yuck) like msot other kids, but I stayed with the Kings. I love the team. I never ONCE thought of hoping for loss except for the benefit of this upcoming draft.
I personally would rather us win against teams like the blazers. it shows that if we try, we can hang with the big boys. if you care about draft position, you should rather they lose to crappy teams since that would help our draft position more. also things to remember, kings have mostly dropped back a few spots in the lottery no matter how bad our record was and no matter how strong the draft class is, there is always a chance at drafting a bust. just sit back and enjoy any win we get cuz they are few and far in between now a days.
You really see it when opposing teams clamp down on D. We struggle to pass the ball or do anything offensively. Players leave their feet not knowing where to pass the ball, etc. I love teams who pass the ball 3 or 4 times before finding the open man... it's just fun to watch.
But what about giving up 65 in the first half against the bobcats.. what?! And if you want to do a layup against the kings, go ahead we'll let you.
