Can't speak for Nightfall, but when it comes to european football or in my case german football there are sections in the arena, that pretty much belong to the "hardcore" fans or like we call them here "Ultras". The Ultra culture is indeed a culture dominated by young males and plays a strong...

Indeed! Gotta keep my pitchfork ready....;) Willie just talks like he views himself as the centerpiece of this franchise. Talking about Playoffs, about how he thinks he is able to score on everyone and how there is nobody he can't stop, about how his game is similar to Skal's or Papa's. That...

The thing is, that both shouldn't be in our future considerations. Waiving them would have given us the opportunity to hold a tryout for D-leaguers or waivers. Using the a similar method the 76ers stumbled into Covington for example, who is a solid NBA rotation player.

For a young man there is a very fine line between a healthy self-trust and being too confident. I'm curious, if Willie can follow this interview up with something countable on the court next season.

You know, that's the beauty of this board. So many people with so many different point of views all sharing the same passion for the Kings. It's entirely possible and reasonable to view things like you do, but you pretty much know for sure I don't agree with you there. ;) First of all - for me...

I don't think our young guys sucked. But I also don't think, they are the main reason we won "too many" games. You trade DC and Lawson and one of KK or Tolliver at the deadline, cut Reke and Afflalo and that's at least 3-4 wins less and gives you the ability to sign D-leaguers to try to find...

That's just beautiful to watch. :) That's also the one thing I never understood in all my time of watching NBA basketball. There seems to be no coordinated fan choreography or chants and everything always looks a bit too laid back and sometimes artificial. So different to european football or...

Still the teams are not to blame for exploiting the rules of the league. Tanking is a viable strategy in the NBA. And all the talk how disgusting or dishonorable it is to try to lose as many games as possible, it still won't change the fact, that losing games benefits teams not in the Playoff...

Individually Cousins is a pretty successful NBA player. Wether his antics are the reason he isn't successful so far in terms of wins and losses is a question noone can really answer, although it's reasonable to assume, that his antics are only a very small part of what's holding him back - his...

It's really nice to see Willie getting aggressive on the boards. We are competitive against teams more concerned about the draft pick than to win games when we play our young guys. Nothing wrong with that. Obviously our rookies and young players need every opportunity to learn. The amount of...

Honestly I think you are missing the point of my post. ;) What bothers me is the lack of foresight and the lack of a cohesive long term strategy (and the negotiating of trades, but that's a moot point now). And that even when we make a strategy change mid season, we don't go all in on our new...

Well they could have rested their vets vs Memphis. But whatever. Ultimately I don't blame the players nor the coaching staff for trying to compete.

How about building a roster with a goal in mind? You want playoffs? You build a roster for it. You want to tank? You build a roster for it. You do this before the season in a controlled and thoughtful manner and not with blind actionism right at the deadline, by trading your star player but...

Joerger is a well respected Nba coach. He could afford to be picky and he took the job with the Kings, because the main pieces were already in place. That's not an assumption, thats pretty much exactly what he said. Was he aware, that a rebuild could be a possibility. I think so, but I doubt...

But you dont want your GM to act like a young woman in love do you? ;)

Ouch. In this case I feel really sorry for all you local guys with renewed season tickets. ;)

That's for Joerger to decide. Temple is signed for 2 more years and he absolutely deserves to play and is important as a leader. In 2 years one of our young guards (assuming Bogdan comes over) will have lost a huge amount of value and will probably be without any confidence and disgruntled. I'm...

I agree. For me that's the main thing here. They didn't want to open the arena with a full scale rebuild. They wanted to sign Joerger, but Joerger wasn't on board with a rebuild. Signing a respected NBA coach is a lot easier, when you already have some components in place. They pulled the...

I don't believe that. I'm still quite convinced of my scapegoat theory, but we will never know. But let's assume you are right - isn't that pretty naive? I mean DMC is in his 7th year. You pretty much know he is a hothead by now. Making plans for the future built on a drastic change of...

A bit early to claim, that Malachi belongs in the league and Hezonja doesn't. Reason to trade for Hezonja: 1. he is a full sized SF 2. he is very athletic and can run the floor with the rest of our young guys 3. there is hope his shooting % will eventually go up with more confidence Not...
