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

    Thank you. Still waiting for my apologies for getting absolutely crucified for saying very similar things three months ago. That's ok, I'd rather be right!

    I'm not complaining about people countering my argument. I'm complaining about people freaking out and framing my critical opinion is an "attack" on our coach - and also implying much worse things about me which I will not repeat. I do not consider differing opinions invalid.

    What Len was doing a decent job of was boxing out Looney. I was hoping Brown would play Len more to prevent Looney from averaging 37 rebounds per game during the series.

    Why is the tiniest criticism an "aTtaCk!!" People, seriously, grow up. This is a forum where debate occurs. If one can't express a moderately critical opinion about one of the Anointed Saviors in the org without being sneered at and it framed as an "attack"... how is that healthy? The SECOND I...

    Brown once got fired the year after winning COY. Not saying he will or should this year, but it's happened. And I'm not a hater, I just have sobered up. Once again, my actual opinion on Brown is that he's doing an OK job. But people think that any measure of objectivity around Brown is...

    [Game] Kings vs. Clippers - 4/2/2024 - 7:00PM PST/10:00PM EST

    These were gargantuan coaching blunders in my eyes that seemed like incredibly obvious solutions to series-losing problems. At the time I may have been a bit drunk on the COY kool-aid, justifying it in my mind by thinking there must be some reason I can't see for these decisions. I'm six months...

    I have never understood the reluctance to use Len going all the way back to early last season when it was clear he filled a huge gap for us. And not using him more in the GS series I simply will never understand. I can only hope he does not make the same mistake.

    KING IN ARABIC

    Virtually got the Sixth Man Award locked up. Pretty good in a contract year coming off the bench!

    Sounds like he just wants to protect his young players who may not have the savvy to avoid saying the wrong thing to the wrong person. It's definitely a subject you need to show sensitivity towards. On the whole I find the spirit of the Serbian people something of a wonder.

    Lyles has MCL injury

    Same, minus the horse, but still in cowboy boots. Hiking in them. I have since reconsidered my hiking footwear choice. Confirmed by MRI, not a small tear. Got one shot of PRP. I'm 99% now. But, took some time. A surgeon wanted to operate and take out part of my meniscus. Borderline criminal...

    [Game] Kings vs. Jazz - 6PM PT/9PM ET

    This is a complete misunderstanding of the current state of Serbia, and even the big city Belgrade. With complete respect to you, I really cannot emphasize enough how wrong of a perception this is. On March 24th I was in the home of a Serbian family that I had met the week prior, watching the...

    [Game] Kings vs. Jazz - 6PM PT/9PM ET

    Currently in Serbia and was in Belgrade earlier today and caught some live Partizan on TV. The two boys in the room with me were basketball players and showed me clips of the insane crowds that are normal in the Balkan league and especially in Belgrade with either Red Star or Partizan. If there...

    Why Isn't Sasha Playing?

    I'm thinking the day to day status might connected to the pretty severe ankle injury he sustained. Just a guess though.

    Amazing! Glad to see others are open to this idea. I've had this thought as well. As good as our coaching staff is, I believe our roster is currently underperforming for the talent we have.

    Are people slowly starting to warm up to the idea that I wasn't an insane nutjob for suggesting this a couple months ago? Thank you sir. And by the way, people misread that I was set on Fernandez. I wasn't necessarily. I said, "somebody already on staff"... yes I hinted at Fernandez, but I could...

    The 2024 Playoff Chase Thread

    I just have this gut sense we are going to face the Warriors in the play in. Whether we win that one or not will determine the mood of the offseason greatly. We win that, even if we lose in the first round again, a case can be made that while we still need to add pieces, things are generally...

    Why Isn't Sasha Playing?

    This has been a tough first year for him and I'm sure it hasn't gone as he had hoped. But, next year he'll come back having learned a lot about the NBA and I'm hoping he takes a big step forward. I also hope our roster gets sorted a bit over the next 6 months so as to create some space for him...

    It did have a good run... but... It's better to burn out than fade away... It could never hold a candle to the real beam... Looks like we're having a fire sale on beans...
