    The Rudy Gay Effect? (merged)

    Why not just use Rudy as a 6th man.

    Demarcus Cousins

    Well, that would be expected considering most contact occurs near the paint contesting shots.

    The Turning of the Schedule: Why we Need to Just Hang On

    Right, but what you can do is understand the higher the pick, the better the chance at drafting a star player, even if it's by stupid luck.

    The Turning of the Schedule: Why we Need to Just Hang On

    The Cubs did it the right way. They drafted young, talented players who will be All-Star players for the next decade while the Kings sign mediocrity. Big difference.

    Cousins vs. the Bee

    I've acted like a petulant child in my adult life. The difference is that I own up to it and don't blame others for my behavior. It's called being responsible for your own actions. "everything is someone else's" fault is a flat out sophomoric approach. The reporter wrote an aside about a...

    Cousins vs. the Bee

    There's a difference between getting riled up over being singled out vs. yelling in someone's face like a petulant child. If you have a problem with someone, there are better ways to confront that person on the issues other than screaming loudly.

    Cousins vs. the Bee

    That makes it okay to behave as DMC did and fall into their trap? You don't answer stupidity with stupidity. Did anyone think Voisin or the reporter were going to change their ways after DMC's outburst? I'm not defending the Bee because I know most of their articles are clickbait, but one...

    Cousins vs. the Bee

    See the Carmelo Anthony/Phil Jackson situation in NY. Everything over there is scrutinized.

    Cousins vs. the Bee

    Sacramento has some of the softest reporting in the sports world. Demarcus simply has to be able to handle this more professionally. Players in big markets get harassed much worse. The BEE created drama and DMC fell right into their trap.

    The Predictive Power Of Point Differential (Kings = -0.8)

    Point Per Game Differential is something that should be evaluated in real time looking at where a team theoretically should be, not where it's going to be. The Kings have been the healthiest team in the NBA thus far. Point differential is based on a Kings' team that has been the healthiest...

    The Predictive Power Of Point Differential (Kings = -0.8)

    I'd actually win because I would use 25 games worth of data to make my prediction, not exclude games that I know the Kings were going to get blown out in anyways.

    The Predictive Power Of Point Differential (Kings = -0.8)

    If you are going to do that, you have to asterisk the Kings win vs. the Mavs where they won by 31 in which Dirk (their best player) was missing.

    The Predictive Power Of Point Differential (Kings = -0.8)

    The more one has to cherry pick stats, back-to-backs, road games, altitude, the more I think you are just putting lipstick on a pig.

    The Predictive Power Of Point Differential (Kings = -0.8)

    Yesterday's game is not an asterisk. Instead of losing by 20 pts, the Kings decided to lose by 30 pts. They knew they had no chance of winning the game so decided to rest their star player.

    [Game] Kings @ Rockets - 12/14/16 - 5PT/8ET

    Yes. The surrounding parts around Cousins are bad similar to how the parts around Wade were bad.

    [Game] Kings @ Rockets - 12/14/16 - 5PT/8ET

    Their defense was good enough with Wade, but that DRTG was awful w/o him, which is really my point. They were bad on both ends w/o Wade.
