Yes it can. Your subsequent example is a straw-man. You're arguing against a point that I never made. If I had said that the color navy blue was similar to light blue due to x, y, and z -- you countering "that makes as much sense as suggesting that navy blue is also a light color" doesn't in...

Totally agree with both of you. That said, here's one KINGS fan that can now admit he was wrong (with the advantage of hindsight) with regard to believing that the KINGS made the right move moving Hali over Fox. When Fox took off in 2023, I was banging that drum hard. Always was a Swipa fan...

I agree with your point, but will add that the same logic can be applied to anti-conspiracy theorists. People see, or don't see, whatever they want to see. Everything isn't a conspiracy. But it's also silly to believe that conspiracies never or rarely exist. Like many things, the truth is...

If players being drafted directly out of high school had been en vogue a few years sooner, that 1989 draft could have been the KINGS selecting Shaquille O’Neal. Dawkins and Malone had been drafted out of HS before, but the practice didn’t really start back up until Garnett in 1995.

Why can’t a balance be struck? There are 14 non-playoff teams. They don’t ALL have to have a shot at the top pick, or even top 3 picks. With 5-7 teams still being in the mix for #1, especially if the odds are the same, it would greatly diminish tanking as there’s no benefit to having the...

As long as the NBA continues to employ the lottery system they will always be open to conspiracy theories and the mere appearance of impropriety. I understand the desire to dissuade teams from intentional tanking, but the trade off of play-in/playoff caliber teams having any chance of landing...

Sorry, the thread title made me think of this.

I'm not saying that you are wrong, but if that really was the case I'd think that the mods would have given everyone a heads up before it happened.

So, any word on what happened and why the site was down? Color me curious.

I saw a lot of fun games at ARCO throughout the late 90’s and 2000’s. I didn’t realize back then how much I’d miss and reminisce seeing Ruthie, Ticha, Yolanda, DeMya, Kara, etc, all play during those days. It still saddens me that Mighty Ruthie wasn’t part of those 2005 and 2006 Finals teams...

Yeah, I know it isn’t a realistic dream. But it sure would be awesome nonetheless.

Good to see everyone again! As for all the coaching news, I’m happy they brought DC back. I previously stated that I was hopeful he’d get to continue on with a full offseason to implement his own ideas. Further, I’d be ok with BJ coming back, too. Mike Woodson would be ok, I suppose. In a...

I don't disagree with you at all regarding Keon. That was a head scratcher to be sure. That said, I was speaking about defense on the whole. Keon doesn't make up for the deficiencies and effort alone. Nor do Keon and Devin Carter combined (though they are clearly better). This team seemingly...

+1 DC posted a winning record in relief of Coach Brown. He did so despite everything you listed AND a very tough 2nd half schedule. From January 23rd through March 14th, they only had ONE instance of playing two consecutive home games. 17 road games and 6 home games during that stretch. Sans...

] Reading is fundamental. ;) Thanks for clarifying. For whatever reason I wasn’t interpreting that way, but now I see it. And I don’t disagree with him. Cousins in his prime was a superior player, personality flaws and all. If we had a playoff caliber team around Boogie in those days, we’d...
