    It has started

    As much as we in Europe (let's call Israel "Europe" for this matter) can't get used to it - "tanking" can be valid strategy in NBA... But not in this case... even drafting superstar can be not enough to fix damage it would do. First. It's not start of rebuilding when all You're interesting in is...

    [Grades] Grades v. Knicks 12/27/2014

    "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck..." 1.They said they wanted Malone out because of style he installed. 2.They hired David Arsenault Jr. to Reno so he will run there his father's "Grinell System" which is defintiion of "junk ball" (and don't get me wrong I...

    Does NBA 3.0 Include DMC?

    In this specific case it doesn't have anything to do with uselessness or usefullness of statitics. The only reason why Moreland has off. rating of 175 (and PER of 41.6, 36 pts per 36 min and TS% of 1.0...) is that he played ~2 minutes all season... By case there were succesfull 2 minutes, and...

    [Game] Game 29: Sacramento Kings vs. Phoenix Suns, 12/26/14. 7PM PST, 10PM EST

    What's crazy here is that FO made perfectly clear that they were not happy... with what was going month ago - because it was not the way they envisioned the team would play... It seems that they actually were happy to have excuse to fire Malone. Malone is not experienced coach. He was not...

    DMC at 7, Rudy at 11 in first all-star balloting results

    Cousins is much too low... He should be at #4 or #3 if not higher... Gay is in right position or even too high. He is good player, but not really superstar

    Where is Omri?

    Ok... Maybe everything was just injury and not being 100% fit (still can't understand why to have not 100% fit player active and still not use him when team is needed his abilities). According to game against GSW it seems that assumption that playing uptempo will feature intensive using of...

    Pistons waive Josh smith

    I think if Houston wants to sign him they're not sold on DMo as starting 4 and Jones is indefenitely out... and many thinks also not starting (for contender) caliber player anyway. So they will probably also offer him starting at 4.

    Michael Malone (allegedly) opposed extensions for DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gay

    As already said DMC extension was signed before he played one game (even in preseason) for Malone... And if Malone opposed extention it had nothing to do with "tallent evaluation" but was dictated by problematic reputation DMC had then. It's completely irrelavant right now - as DMC played much...

    [Game] Game 27: Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Lakers, 12/21/14, 3 PM PST, 6 PM EST

    I am really glad Kings at least won this one. It would be just disgrace to loose to Kobe which is "playing" to broke some more records (not concerned how awfull it looks) and Byron Scott which benched Lin (no, he's not star but he can play) for Price which should be waived month ago.

    Where is Omri?

    There are things which I just can't understand. It was somehow logically explainable when Casspi was replaced by Williams initially - team was in PO race, there was bench which somehow functioned, someone could think replacing Omri who had several not so good games will help team (or at least...

    Where is Omri?

    Per http://www.rotoworld.com/: Omri Casspi (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against the Lakers. Let's hope we'll see Omri playing (and not for just several minutes) :)

    Where is Omri?

    Tyrone Corbin on Omri Casspi’s health: : “He didn’t go through much in practice today. And we’ll see again tomorrow how he feels. He says he’s getting better. He didn’t do any contact in practice today.” - See more at...

    Kings speak with Mark Jackson after ESPN broadcast

    Jackson is not problem here... I don't know much about him but he's probably not that bad and story about extortion is not that relevant... Problem is Vivek's obsession with emulating Warriors...

    Where is Omri?

    After some thinking I will add: I'm afraid firing Malone is very bad for the team, but for Casspi's PT is probably neutral or even positive... We can't rely on any information about situation in team now including Omri'r injury (how serious? when happened?) or DWill geting his minutes just...

    Eric Moreland on the Kings/Bighorns merry-go-round

    It's crazy. 140.1 pts per game, 135.1 allowed pts per game ! Anyway, we can laugh or cry, but still they are 5:4 and won 4 of last 5 :)

    Where is Omri?

    About NO it was joke. I said it just because they really badly need any serviceable SF. and actually have none (maybe Cunningham but he's not really SF)... and somehow with this pathetic situation with #3 they waived the best SF they had on this team. Don't know if actually there's limitaion...

    Where is Omri?

    I don't think firing Malone matters for Casspi's PT too much. It's mostly not about specific coach but about status of min-salary vet, which by default looked at as "journeyman" and his own reputation of player which starts season good and then fade away (doesn't matter if correct one). Coach...

    Malone fired

    It's bad... As israeli I was not happy with Malone for not playing Casspi (don't know now if it was his idea), as many other people here I thought it's time to use McCallum instead of Sessions... I never fully understand his rotations and situations when Reggie Evans is some 8 or 9 games benched...
