    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    After 6 years sitting on the Warrior's bench, Brown was likely anxious to get a head coaching assignment. Negotiations were on the side of management. Now, as a head coach, his negotiation position is improved. (Oops, doubled a similar post at the same moment.)

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    The "unanimous coach of the year" situation requires a deeper inspection before elevating it to a determinative evaluation of coaching talent. Brown's first season (2022-23) as King's coach included significant player personnel moves by Monte. Not the least of which was Sabonis (full year)...

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    Ah, now I understand the lack of comprehension that you admitted. Carry on.

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    "Don't criticize what you can't understand." (Nobel prize winning poet/songwriter.) Apparently you missed earlier posts that expressed giving Brown another year to develop this team and its functions.

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    How many votes will Mike Brown get for COY for this season? Monte had several trades and offers in mind, according to reports, where the players simply would not come to the Kings. And that is with Brown as coach. Of course, there may have been other factors involved but a stellar coach...

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    Given the alternatives, Mike Brown was likely the best pick for head coach at the time. He found himself with a talented team with several able new faces thanks to Monte. The result was Monte was EOY and Brown was COY. We can't be sure that a different coach couldn't have been able to match the...

    Why Isn't Sasha Playing?

    Personal messages such as this are best handled in PM form. There is no reason to drag personalities or personal observations into a public forum unless it is to criticize or belittle, even if it be passively. I would urge a moderator to delete this post (and mine as well) while encouraging the...

    [Game] Kings vs Suns 7:30PM PDT/10:30 PM EDT

    The basic problem regarding the referees is that if the team's play puts the team in the position of being vulnerable to the ref's calls then it is reasonable to expect being at their mercy. On the other hand, if the team is up 10 to 20 points (as it should have been at the end of the Suns...

    The 2024 Playoff Chase Thread

    What "fire" does exist can be stimulated. But along with that, the fire can be suppressed as well. In other words, it can be manipulated by a person trained (or aware) in the technique. Gregg Popovich is an example.

    Why Isn't Sasha Playing?

    The highlighted sentence can be viewed differently. Without the injury to Huerter, Ellis could have remained a fringe player. All year Ellis displayed superior defense in limited play time. Fans on this forum were in favor of him seeing more play time. Then Fox came out with the information that...

    Stop blaming the refs...

    Kudos for an active imagination! The implementation of such a system would be revolutionary enough to cause a revolution.

    Stop blaming the refs...

    If no remedy exists, then a grievance is moot. So the question becomes, what is the realistic and achievable remedy under the existing current system?

    The 2024 Playoff Chase Thread

    That is what I thought, also. My wife was incredulous as well. We replayed it over and over and noticed that a Celt actually tipped the ball out of Keegan's hand. It might be argued that Keegan could have made more of an attempt to secure it rather than try to start a break-out going the other...

    Not sure why the quoted poster chooses to turn a positive into a negative. Wholly unnecessary and personally critical of other forum member posters' opinions. Neither personally healthy nor forum friendly. Coach Brown was forced to re-think his strategies when the injuries severely cut into his...
