    [Game] Play-in Tournament 9/10 game: Kings vs. Mavericks 16 APR 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET (ESPN)

    Reality hurts. Expectations for the future? Some, but little. After last season everybody could see Kings weaknesses, but they were not addressed. 7 game winning streak was fun. Win in Boston was a beauty. That's about it guys. OKC, Houston, Denver, Lakers and other teams with winning records...

    McNair gone

    He made some good decisions, he made equal amount of not so good decisions. Maybe some bad decisions were forced on him? Or maybe good decisions were done by somebody else. Right now Kings squad have potential, but pieces don't fit. Can someone sort it out? We have to cling to the hope. Domas...

    Yep, we match up against Dallas pretty well EXCEPT Kyrie. Kyrie Irving is a true X factor. He can run team offense to the perfection. Still, if we play smart and well - I value our chances better than Mavs. Only game will tell. Possible match-up against Grizzlies, we can think about it after...

    Personally, I don't value picks as much as I did ~20 years ago. NBA game now is very fast and players have to be so versatile that it's more important to make a choice for the right fit and develop it properly.

    Predictions 2024-25

    Respect. I expected pain and misery after DDR's signing and witnessing how MB settled into whatever he does as a head coach in the last 20+ games of the last season, BUT I didn't see Kings having not a winning season. I thought that Kings would timely get some length and athleticism in the...

    48 minutes of swarthy bearded Lithuanian Giants

    42 points on 21 FGAs with 2/2 from the line on 2 "and-1's" - well, at least boys finished the regular season with the smiles :) Oh, 22 rebounds (7 offensive), 10 assists, 3 steals... usual stuff. In 45 minutes ;)

    [Game] 82/82: Kings vs. "Suns" 13 APR 2025, 12:30pm PT/3:30pm ET

    If AD wakes up at night from a nasty nightmare - that means that he saw Domas In Kings uniform or JV in Raptors. Yep, I watched probably all games that JV played with the Raptors. Those days AD couldn't do anything against JV's size and length. Right now actually it's pointless because Kyrie is...

    And he is going to stick around. Domas is not leaving. Meanwhile I see some tan on JV's skin first time ever. He had done enough ice fishing all around the world. Time for him to try some cold beer of the coast of California ;)

    Nope. Only one place where there are explosives - the chair that DDR sits. That's why he has to start games. Even in his early 40's. Though I am planning to convert to all available religions that perform rituals and what's not for the DDR to start game 1 of the next season NOT in the Kings...

    Mavs are out. -29 after 3 qs. Meaning we will face them in Sacramento. I wonder. What are the chances for the team to win a first play-in game at home and lose second play-in on the road in the consecutive seasons? 0.01%? ;) So, I see to viable options: we upset OKC in the first round or...

    [Game] 82/82: Kings vs. "Suns" 13 APR 2025, 12:30pm PT/3:30pm ET

    Domas 20 points on 9 FGAs without a trip to the line. A sign of the things to come? ;)

    LTU 29 - Kings 28 ;) I'm from Chicago. Bulls finished season with the 39-43 record, 15-5 in last 20. Kings are 6-13 in last 19. Why Kings got DDR when they needed length and athleticism in the paint is beyond me.

    [Game] 81/82: Kings vs. Clippers 11 APR 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

    Domas definitely jumping not as high. Maybe he is even a bit less 'explosive". That hammy small tweak and ankle sprain - body still feels it. Domas announced that he will not play for the LTU in upcoming Euro 25'. Sad thing. Always something. Last year JV couldn't play in qualification...

    Kings belong to Sacramento. Do they belong in NBA? A lately doubt it often...

    I only hope that DDR is a bit tired after his last "performance" and he will pass the ball sometimes.
