[Game] Kings at Blazers, 1/9/2022 6pm PT/9pm ET

[New Era]

Chin up, guys. Sometimes you just need to change the way you look at things.

We are not even a quarter of the playoff drought the Cubs were in.

At least they had the excuse of only the divisional winner getting into the playoffs for most of those years. What excuse do we have when 8 from every conference make it (and more now with the play in game).?

 

[SacTownKid]

Why can’t we be the team trading nothing level G/F’s for Bol Bol?

Instead of McGruder, why not Harkless? Who says no?

At least watching Bol Bol try to basketball is entertaining.

Kings are trying to make the 10th seed at all costs. Wow, can't believe that's an actual thing.

Semantics

 

[Turgenev]

HB making a nice baseline cut for an easy bucket isn't something that happens enough. Giving up an open three on the next possession seems a nice way to return normalcy.

And remember it's only a matter of time before the NBA institutes participation ribbons for the bottom 10 teams at this point. Finally, Vivek can hang something up in the rafters of Golden 1. It will be hard to see, but we'll all know it's there.

Participation Ribbons would be perfect to pair with the Metu statue we'll build in front of Golden 1.

 

[Sluggah]

Buddy’s Fox impression isn’t great.

 

[KainLear]

In other not-so-important news, Kings are going through the dreadful 3rd quarter again.

And people were complaining about the Kings' consistency issue.

 

[dude12]

We suck

 

[KainLear]

We suck

Maybe it's better that we are so we can potentially not draft in the 7-12 range again.

You know they’re putting together a pointless run at the end of the season to land there.

 

[macadocious]

I legit wouldn’t be shocked if Gentry quit.

I guess there solace in knowing my grandchild will witness a Kings championship, should they somehow come into existence.

 

[SLAB]

I hope he does. Maybe things will change if there’s enough egg on the face.

 

[dude12]

I legit wouldn’t be shocked if Gentry quit.

I wish he would

As much as I'd hate to rush Doug Christie into the seat, the "me" who likes to watch the world burn is kinda eager to see that.

Summer League championship T-shirts. Which is nice

 

[Turgenev]

Think he's figured out a way to quit while still collecting a pay check.

 

[KainLear]

TWO-TIME reigning and defending Summer League champion... I should print that on a tee and sell it.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

We're already ready to blame another coach? An interim coach.

If we just had another coach, maybe we could finish in 10 place, instead of 11 or 12

 

[SacTownKid]

When you're whole team gets outran by 1 guy on an out of bounds play when he's on the other side of the floor, it's done. Monte, your move genius.

Wife wanted to watch men’s free skate Olympic qualifying and I couldn’t make the case watching the Kings was better. Nathan Chen is amazing. Kings not so much.

one it was done I looked at the score and opted for the Raiders game.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Hmmm…my office staff gave me premium seats for the upcoming Kings/Rockets game next Friday as a Christmas gift. I’m starting to think they don’t like me.

I'm just indulging the inner me who likes the watch the world burn by still watching this game.

Damn... you might be right all along, they might even find a way to come back to win this meaningless game tonight by the way Blazers are (not) scoring.

Do other teams also have fans who specifically check in to game threads to announce that they're not watching the game, or are the Kings just lucky?

 

[Woot!]

So. Very. Buddy.

 

[KainLear]

Where's Neemi?

 

[KainLear]

as bad as 16-26 appears, it really doesn't reflect how bad this team really is...

2 pages for a game thread on a Sunday evening in early January? Looks like everyone has seen enough.
