My thoughts: The Kings on the day the Maloofs sold: .341, 1410 elo On Vlade's first day as GM: .406, 1412 elo Now: .341, 1412 elo When a business or enterprise consistently performs below average, one has to look at their business model. Is it healthy and realistic? If not, the owners may...

Internet age test: are they the Squibs, or the Muggles?

Sole possession of the 7th slot now, but maybe only until the Bulls-Tpups game ends.

Just staying the same would do. Over the last 17 games the Kings are playing at .176, and a tie for 5th is only two lins away right now. Nobody in the league is below .222, so an early pick definitely could happen.

Now tied for 7th-8th, with a tie for 5th only a couple of lins off. Things are looking up, in that particular way.

If The Foxhole was around in the last decade, I must have paid it no attention, since those are flamewar bait subjects I'd never discuss on a general purpose forum. I knew another forum which made something like that where essentially no rules applied, and it was a hellhole. But neither were...

Suggestion to the mods: Create an obscure little corner, and allow negativity about the team/franchise there. Those who want to vent can, and those who don't want to see it don't have to. I haven't moderated XenForo and have no suggestions about exactly how to implement it, but most platforms...

I agree that it'll be hard to keep up with the flock of bad eastern teams, which is kind of a strange situation. We normally expect the leastern conference to be bad, but it used to extend to the top, e.g., whether the Kings or Lakers made it to the finals, everyone knew the Nets were toast...

I think that bridge may have been burned. "Arrogant little chap" and all that. Otherwise I'd be up for it.

I can't rule out the possibility. Having entire summers go by without choking on smoke seems quite anachronistic to me.

Being forced to trade away a redundant star quality player would be a refreshingly different sort of problem to have, though.

Having not spent more than a few nights in the Central Valley in the last quarter century, I've regularly had to ask myself questions of this sort. I lived in GSW territory for ages, but never even glanced at their bandwagon. More recently I've been living close to the Canadian border, where...

It's his third game in four days, and two of those were on the road. He's gotta be tired.

The owners paid Joerger $4M to not coach the Kings this year. If they fired Walton today, they'd be paying him about $14M to not coach the Kings too, which seems like it would be really unpopular with said investors. Does anybody know what guarantees in GM contracts are usually like? Overall...

Ham misspoke in this article. The Kings were not in 14th in the west when he wrote it, they were tied for 13th/14th with the Pelicans. NO won tonight so now he's correct, but he jumped the gun.

But the basketball gods can be merciful. Last night at halftime, I called upon them, and my power went out for over an hour.

Agreed. Per ESPN's fan misery index, Bengals fans are the 36th most miserable, with less than half the score of us #1 Kings fans. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24367000/the-top-25-most-miserable-fan-bases-professional-sports

Yeah, the gamblers and AIs aren't liking the Kings tonight. We will see.
