How about you qualify your own statement before throwing out a jabroni take? "I want substance, not just numbers" What? What substance is he not providing you as an offensive coach? Because on planet earth, he's lead us to the 7th best ORtg ever and the 23rd best ORtg ever this season. Virtually the entire Kings core basically have had career seasons under him. Fox and Domas are All-NBA players under him. Those are facts, not your feeling on the subject.

It's not up to Woot to back up your own bad argument. ? Because all we have to do is point to the scoreboard of the best Kings basketball in 20 years to support our side.

Of course, we will never know the true potential of the team. It would all be conjecture to imagine what could be. We all want the best for the Kings. When the best is not happening then the questions arise. "Best" being an opinion certainly.

 

[SacTownKid]

Last stretch is coming up soon. Too grindy for the Kings.

Bro dude man bro I asked for substance and not number exactly because I anticipated low effort responses like this. Unfortunately you did did not deliver.

Most of the top 50 offenses of all time have happened in the last 7 years because the game has changed. Our offense of NOT DYNAMIC. Do you know what that means?

As expected, you can't qualify anything about your bad takes on anything based on reality. Not that Im surprised. I'd love for you to actually articulate what "dynamic" means, because every number on planet earth says our offense is dynamic. I'd also love for you to articulate why Brown is a low IQ coach, with some basis of fact and not opinion. Unfortunately, you don't seem seem to have the capacity to do so, since you're asking others to qualify your own statement for you. So what does the great Vinny basketball mind know that the reigning coach of the year, every number on planet earth and a bunch of really smart people not seem to realize?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Was that the second time that Sabonis got got by Strus, or the fhird?

 

[GWD]

*Makes incredibly terrible take*
*Gets defensive when absolutely no one else climbs up on the hill with him*

Not absolutely no one. Incidentally, "terrible" is an opinion take.

 

[Woot!]

Domas - 17 boards.
Rest of team - 12 boards.

 

[SacTownKid]

30 min of basketball played and the Kings remain at ... 1 FT attempt. I don't know that I've ever seen that before.

Honestly, it seems like the away from the shot fouls they're letting go tonight. At the rim the Kings haven't been much of nothing other than Domas.

 

[Tetsujin]

Not absolutely no one. Incidentally, "terrible" is an opinion take.

I meant people who aren't trolls.

 

[KF8]

man that steal and 3 by max was a backbreaker. stopped all momentum by the kings

You're forgetting that other dude who thinks Brown is giving his players PTSD because of hard practices. And that the mental anguish of if you miss a free throw, you have to run, at the end of practice is why we've had free throw struggles.

Fun crowd, tbh

Sigh It's all so tiring.

Do you need me to actually define what dynamic means? It means being able to be effective in different ways, and in the context of an NBA offense it means being able to respond to different schemes and scoring in different ways. We have iso, and we have threes. That's it. No dynamism. Sorry your teachers failed you.

And I actually think other people see what I see but we're committed to Brown as an org so it doesn't make sense to say it out loud in a media interview.

 

[Tetsujin]

This Cavs hot streak has coincided with Tristan Thompson being suspended which seems about right.

 

[The_Jamal]

Can't actually give specifics with regards to the team on the court. Of course you can't, because you know your take is foolish.

I'll give you one more chance to actually qualify your argument. What about the Kings offense isn't dynamic? Why is Brown a low IQ coach? What makes those things "true"?

 

[Tetsujin]

THE REFS FINALLY CALLED A FOUL ON THE CAVS!

 

[Sluggah]

OMG. Another FT. Praise be.

 

[Woot!]

Whoa - gonna get the 2nd FT, peeps!

 

[gunks]

Trey explosion incoming

So in your opinion then how can this offense be more dynamic? Jamal's been asking you for like the last twenty minutes and you've given absolutely no answer.

Adelmans's offense was insanely good because it could score in any number of ways. The current offense goes to sleep if they can't hit threes. It's extremely obvious and many people have noted this all throughout the season.

 

[gunks]

Lol **** these refs

Must be protecting the money line or something

 

[Tetsujin]

Adelmans's offense was insanely good because it could score in any number of ways. The current offense goes to sleep if they can't hit threes. It's extremely obvious and many people have noted this all throughout the season.

Adelman's offense is literally the same offense as this one except our shooters are spread out to the three point line instead of in the midrange because spacing is a thing now.

 

[Sluggah]

Woah. Finally called the thing that’s been happening constantly. Refs going soft.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

So in your opinion then how can this offense be more dynamic? Jamal's been asking you for like the last twenty minutes and you've given absolutely no answer.

This offense could be more dynamic by not relying on the three so much, and not relying on isos so much and particularly Fox or Monk to create. If we were a real offense, a la Carill or Adelman, we would be able to create buckets as a team even when we go cold shooting the three.

This is absolutely not a controversial take but you all are so hyper emotional that you get so ding offended when anyone tells you the truth.

Our offense is at most two dimensional: threes and iso. It's a paper tiger propped up by the the current league fads/rules.

 

[Tetsujin]

Evan Mobley not having developed as an offensive player at all since his rookie season the only thing keeping the Cavs from blowing us out right now.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Adelman's offense is literally the same offense as this one except our shooters are spread out to the three point line instead of in the midrange because spacing is a thing now.

Adelman's offense could score without relying on hot shooters.

 

[SacTownKid]

This might have been a good game for Len to play in. He needs to starts getting back into the rotation because you know in the playoffs Brown's going to be throwing those minutes at him anyway.

 

[Sluggah]

Not out of reach yet.

 

[captain bill]

At least we're sorta keeping it close and answering with runs of our own. Cleveland's absurd 3 point shooting pretty much accounts for they're entirely lead, even on a night we're shooting well

 

[SacTownKid]

Not out of reach yet.

Nope but the Kings can't seem to jump off the treadmill here. Two steps forward, two back.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Cavs are probably wondering why they aren’t up 30 with this kind of performance. Will they let their foot off the gas in the 4th? Can we string together 4 or 5 stops in a row? Can Swipa work his steal magic? Got about 6 minutes to get with in striking distance.
