I am getting sick of seeing Cuz jack up jumpers. That's a clear change in Corbin's system I'm in no way on board with. Get his ass in the paint banging against the boys.

But it's one problem of many. Whatever. Mass confusion on this squad right now on both ends of the floor and one thing is clear, they're unprepared.

Nobody gives a crap anymore. Cousins is jacking bad jumpers. Nobody playing defense. Fans booing.

Vivek, you suck. Sell your stake in the team, please.

Worse than the Maloofs.

I want to clarify my position, since I can feel it being misconstrued: I think that D'Alessandro's vision for the team is ****ing stupid, and that it's not going to work. I just think that rooting for the team to fail, just to spite the GM, is a bridge too far.
 
What, exactly, is your definition of "a short time"? Because I would not consider us getting to thirty-eight wins this season as qualifying as "it working." How many seasons would it have to "work" for it not to count as "a short time"?

I would say, if we don't at least get to the Western Conference Finals playing the style D'Alessandro wants, then it didn't "work," and he didn't "prove us wrong." That's why I'm not clear on what you mean by it being a bad thing if he doubles down, if it works.
Well, you may be giving me the pep talk I need.

But, if we get to 38 wins, PDA could sell it as a semi success.

I guess I'm just seething still from the firing of Malone. I'm bitter. And I'm never bitter about the Kings. I was never bitter through the whole Maloof thing. I'm bitter at dishonesty with which Rudy Gay was treated.

But as I type this, we are down 22 midway through the second quarter, and we are playing like absolute trash. So this point may be moot anyway. This is so clearly not working.

Oh, I wan them to win. But if they lose, it's a good day for a LIN. That's win-win. And spite has nothing to do with it. It has to do with Vivek painfully seeing the consequences of his action.

The Nets are shooting over sixty percent from the field. I have a hard time believing, if all twelve Kings left the arena, and were replaced by twelve random fans, that they would shoot any better.
