Put me on record as officially saying this:

I don't want Bogdan on this team anymore.

 

[TaxMan]

...scans league pass for my foster team this year. I swear this may be the kings team that finally breaks me after 34 years.

You can hear the pain in Dougs voice. I don't get it. You can't survive playing a sag defense. The Warriors got away with it because they combined it with switching screens and basically cheating in the paint. These players aren't not playing pressure defense because they don't want to, it's clearly the plan. Team defense can't be played like this in the modern NBA. Even Joergers plan of attempting to go over screens was better than zoning off.

What’s so disheartening, other than the fact they look so awful after so much promise, is that I have ZERO confidence Walton is the guy to right the ship. I’ve watched a lot of bad Kings basketball since they arrived here, but this might be the most deflated I’ve felt watching them. Really thought they had turned the corner and were on to big things

 

[rainmaker]

Fox has to be the go to guy on the majority of possessions, the fulcrum for this squad which everything runs thru.

He neither wants wants nor is getting it.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Im rooting for the Hornets to pile it on right now. Needs to get worse so it can get better.

 

[Tetsujin]

Bogdan’s career trajectory reminds me of Rudy Fernandez.

 

[Sluggah]

Nuke it from orbit.

 

[kb02]

Bogdan, Joseph, and Ariza on the floor at the same time is a clusterf**k. All they do is pound the ball waiting for each other to cut.

My sister married a man from Texas who’s a Dallas Cowboys fan.

I know my team!

 

[Sactown ExPat]

Fox= Next Kenny Smith. I look forward to watching him game manage his way to a couple rings for the Heat, or some other nonsense team, in about 6 years.

I wasn't there until tonight. He had a decent stretch when in but that Dedmon sub was such a panic move. It was the equivalent to something you'd see out of one of the Kings interim coaches of years past.

I was honestly thinking the same thing

 

[Sluggah]

10-40 on threes till that Fox one. Jesus.

 

[Kingz19]

I’m only still watching to see if Doug blows a gasket before the final buzzer.

It certainly isn’t for this heartless “team”

Wasn’t a three. My bad.

Yeah. Ugh

 

[Pacboy]

If you're missing three, then go th basket for god sake!!! Wtf is Walton coaching

 

[Kings_of_California]

Well there is one positive, the Warriors are getting absolutely blown out by the Suns.

 

[kb02]

This offense fails to exploit the middle.

 

[Kings Faithful]

I think we need to be careful before we are critical of the players here saying we "dont want them on the team anymore". We saw them last year and what they can do. Getting rid of any of the players based off these 5 games is a knee jerk. Its up to the coaches to put them in a position to succeed and they aren't. Those are the jobs that should be on the line. There is NO system

 

[TaxMan]

Doug is saying very obvious things on the broadcast and I’m really not confident that Walton is telling the team the same thing in the huddle. Where is the fire from this team? Has Walton already lost them?

Wouldn’t ditch them for another team. Honestly, basketball has kinda been pretty mediocre for me the last 7-8 years so I may just lose all interest in general.

 

[KingsFanatic]

They definitely won't make the playoffs this year. That's a no-brainier. We aren't even close to being a playoff team....thank god I'm getting rid of Comcast TV this year....Once the Kings get good again, I'll just find the games free online Via Reddit.........

I think we need to be carefule before we are critical of the players here. We saw them last year and what they can do. Its up to the coaches to put them in a position to succeed. They are all clearly playing under their capabilities. There is NO system.

It’s a player’s league though.

In all honesty, I don’t think I ever could either (regardless of not living in Sac for the last 21 years). I probably would just lose interest as I have started to with baseball.

The talent level was never as great as it was and Joseph, Ariza, and Dedmon were mistakes. We got older n slower. Outside of Arriza, these guys were system players, who inflated their value in those systems. Aliza is on his last legs.

 

[SCKingsfan]

This is on the coach. He's not pushing full court defense, or going inside on O. This is basic stuff when you play a team like the Hornets and you need to compensate for bad shooting.
