Fire Reggie Theus? (it's baaaaaaack)
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
I would have to say so because the Kings play with energy against a great team twice in one week, yet mustard enought energy to play at home against a Knicks team. If they were loosing but was competitive then I would have no problem with this, but as a coach you must place emphasis on energy and competitive, and also to place Thompsom to start the 4 instead of playing the bench to Slow whiny Brad Miller. I use to love Brad but now he is just playing weak...
I KNEW that when I came back on this board there would be another fire Reggie thread. You always have someone to blame- why can't it be the blame of the players lack of defense( Reggie can't exactly get out on the floor and play it for them it is up to the players. I understand that you guys are upset about the poor play of the kings tongiht, but it just doesn't seem fair. Reggie played the kids substantial minutes tonight, and yes we lost but cmon give the guy a break! Isn't that what you said was all you wanted- for the kids to get minutes?

I wonder if Charlotte is having a similar poll with the Larry Brown led Bobcats at 7-17 and having lost 6 in a row. What could he have done with this Kings crew last year and into this season if the Maloof's had hired him over Theus?
A
43 1st quarter points... fire him right m/f'n now... wow.... 3-23 3pt shooting, 13 f'n%
fire him now.... i was willing to be patient but this is just too much.... if the lakers had beaten them this bad it would be okay. they are the 2nd best team in the league. but the knicks? the damn knicks? d'antoni is their coach and we couldnt score more than 90 points.

I have no idea now. I pretty much agree with his rotations - except I hope he will replace Miller with Thompson in the starting lineup within the next few games. The rotation was apparently the biggest thing I had against the guy.
Now he has to go to the next level. He has to tell Garcia and some of the other vets to pass the ball to the rookies. Especially Thompson, and especially if he's just standing there, underneath the basket with his hands in the "ready" position. He's either going to get fouled, get fouled and make the basket or make the basket. So why ignore him and miss all of those close range circus shots? That's my biggest pet peave right now. You are going to lose if your mentality is to play 3 against 5.
Also, Thompson is getting good at kicking out the ball to his teammates at the 3 point line - they just aren't making them. I like his attititude that even those he's being ignored by other teammates, he still plays very unselfishly.
Other than that, I'm a happy clam that Thompson, Hawes and Greene are playing now.

Im sorry but that's just wrong-- the kids did not come in just because we were down more then 20-with your theory the kids would have NEVER come in during the laker game on Tuesday because we were never down 20. You are just using that as a excuse. The kids have had significant minutes in the last few games-whether we were down by 20 or up by 4.

When I last looked at the votes, it was 3 for "No way!".. now it's 5, with 2 others are saying "I'd like to see him do better but I'm not ready to call for his dismissal." That means 7 people don't want him fired...and I want those people to tell me why. Other than the Lakers game on Tuesday/Friday, what in the last month has been encouraging about this team? What is going to happen, in your minds, if we get rid of Theus right now? Is it possible to get WORSE?
It's an anonymous poll. No one has to say anything if they don't wish to...
I know, though, that some fans don't really see the benefit of firing Theus at this point in time. There aren't a lot of better coaches out there anyway; we aren't going to do better with a different coach; AND we're on course for an excellent lottery pick...
If we do keep Reggie through the end of the year, we start next season with a new coach, another good rookie and a clean slate. And that might not sound that bad to a lot of fans...
Keep in mind this is a poll not a quiz. There is no one right or wrong answer. It's merely an indication of what the fans who participate in it are feeling - no more and no less.

Not everybody.
I'm actually fairly happy with the way he's been playijng the kids recently, but his problems go much deeper.
We still have no defense and it certainly looks as though the team, or at least some of them, are just ignoring him.
There have to be a number of things working for a team to play as well as they did against the Lakers and then to revert to a game like tonight, which was a repeat of the Nuggets fiasco.
The old saying is that "Players win and coaches lose." In this case, Reggie has lost - and I have to wonder if he's lost the team and it was just playing the Lakers that made the difference.
