    I could almost swear I've seen that username post at some point in the somewhat-distant past. Or there's a username that's similar that I'm confusing it with.

    Mark Jones re-signs with ESPN

    He doesn't sway me too far one way or the other, but I'll take him any day over Draper. He can be drunk off his rocker and I'd still prefer him over Draper.

    VF21

    Oh, man. I don't come back here too much either (although I never said much when I WAS coming here regularly-- probably a couple hundred posts in 20+ years). Her optimism would be eye-rolling and aggravating to my cynical Kings-fandom heart. But she would always be cordial to me in any of our...

    Any oldschoolers keep in contact with Glenn? I'd like to think that this site's OG is still happy and healthy, but it's been three years since he's been on here.

    The State of the Kings

    He expresses his feelings on Twitter regularly, but has he ever said this in such a firm tone on-air before? When you've completely broken Dave of all people.......you can sense his desperation that if Vivek is going to do anything, it needs to be done NOW (which I completely agree with).

    [SPOARTS!] Comments that don't warrant their own thread

    I never thought a day would come where I'd turn to the Kings and look at them as being the most stable and drama-free North American sports franchise that I root for (the competition: Pittsburgh Steelers and Ottawa Senators). I can't even process it after all of the turmoil that has gone on with...

    Kings to fire Karl in coming days

    My guess is that at least a few of Karl's crony assistant coaches will be let go too, and that time is needed to line up new assistants.

    Do we have the best commentators in the league?

    Jerry's catchphrases drive me up the wall. He already has an affable enough personality to not have to resort to that. And with the sometimes dopey way that Christie conducts himself as guest analyst on the court or in the studio, I'm afraid it's going to be more of the same schtick if he's...

    Malone fired

    Normally you don't want to loudly utter an expletive waiting in line in a busy Japanese train station and draw attention to yourself, but I couldn't help it after finding out. I guess I was more angry about this than shocked. The big red flag for me was how Reno has been turned into a farce...

    Kings fans near and far - sign in please

    L.A.-------> Boise ---------> Japan. Might head back to L.A. at some point or some place in Oregon (hopefully close to Portland and culture/stimuli but most likely the sparsely-populated northeast part of the state). The 17-hour time difference is really screwing up the viewing habits. I brought...

    Donald Sterling up to his old tricks

    There's a reason I never cheered for a hometown team and rooted for the Clippers. A lot of "worst owners ever" talk about the Maloofs here, but I always wanted to raise my hand and point to my Exhibit A. He was cheap and profit-driven from the get-go. And when he decided to actually start...

    Want my Kings gear?

    Moving out of the country and am dumping nearly all of my possessions. I can't depart with my beloved Pro Player reversible jacket, but I'm getting rid of everything else. Since this has been my Kings home since 2000, this is the one place I'd want to sell it at. This is a package deal so it's...

    Jerry Reynolds stepping down as Director of Player Personnel

    It'd be a dream for me if they'd can both of them and put Gerould on the TV feed and Kozimor on the radio feed.

    Hey Kings fans! It's time for roll call!

    Been here consistently but rarely ever posted and only really log in if I do post something. Born/raised/lived most of my life in L.A. but never cared much for either team there for various reasons and I have a thing for supporting small-market teams. Couldn't really follow the team until I got...

    Props to the Clippers

    Ack. Good to see the Lakers put deeper into a hole, and it's no doubt a liberating feeling for the Clips fans. But there's a reason I never rooted for them: couldn't support a team with a scumbag for an owner. We get on the Maloofs and deservedly so, but Sterling is at a whole other level (and...
