    What Hank Said - A Compilation in 2021-22

    i listen to the pre-game show(s) while i am watering the plants and tonight i started taping the show. because i just think that henry turner may be a modern day yogi berra (without the all-world talent). scott marsh anchors the first part (1 hour) of pre-game. the "highflyer" calls him...

    The Black Falcon

    on the "predict the rotation" thread, i went out of the box (because for once, the kings go way more than eight guys deep). i suggested that the kings be like the giants and play like it's hockey, with "lines" a "veteran offensive" line of "starters" - fox, hield, barnes, thompson, holmes" who...

    Predict the Starting Lineup / Rotation

    i am going to suggest something way outside the box: the giants have revolutionized baseball, going with a platoon system. 4 positions are set (c, ss, 3b and wherever bryant plays in the outfield) but against lefties, they play four right handed batters (flores, solano, slater, ruf) and against...

    Ownership Changeup (Vivek and Arctos buy more shares)

    the jazz were sold last year around this time, but to an owner certain to keep the franchise in utah. i had missed that - but found a link to the article at the arctos website, which lists the five "partners, all white, the last one pictured is female...

    [SI] De'Aaron Fox and the Kings Are Building for the Future

    i posted just now on the what if thread. you can take that down also. if this has become a dictatorial site, then i am in the wrong place and i'll be gone. although you disagree with my admitted conspiracy theory regarding petrovic, i notice you did not dispute my facts regarding a 100%...

    What If?

    "Bogi is best used more coming off screens and catch and shoot. Rarely was he used in that manner." except when wcs was on team. i don't think they keep stats on "picks set for scores" but they should - it's a lot like an assist. wcs has been slammed for "softness" and there is no doubt he...

    [SI] De'Aaron Fox and the Kings Are Building for the Future

    i heard a story about that team and maybe someone knows if it is true or not. story: the kings offered bonzi 35 million over four years (great money at the time) but bonzi turned it down. at which point, artest said, "offer him however much more he needs and take it out of my salary" kings...

    What If?

    well, we had a chance, but luke coached us right out of it. (dillon brooks - kings killer) up eight with only a few minutes left and metu hoists up ANOTHER trey? and buddy disappears again. king in the FOURTH quarter? (like luke just remembered, "hey - didn't monte sign someone else?")...

    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    last night, i was listening to the lakers game and john ireland (who is clueless) was talking about drummond being seven feet tall. he is BIG (280 pounds) but really only 6'10" (according to basketball reference). this reminded me of the pels games this year when gary gerrold (obviously...

    What If?

    yes, and phoenix has the tiebreaker (swept utah) - suns' home game with portland tonight is big for us (again, depending on "if we win out").

    Ticketmaster ripping people off.

    it's been a few years but i used to have a seat in the "upper reaches of the lower bowl" and it cost about a hundred bucks a game (on a season ticket plan). the real deals were those two games (atlanta/dallas) when blm shut down the arena and the only people who got in were people who were...

    What If?

    best case scenario achieved in it's entirety. now the kings (and knicks) have to do their part(s) tonight.

    What If?

    best scenario tonight (wednesday): dallas (home) defeats new orleans (giving n.o one more loss than kings) lakers defeat houston (gimmee, but that means memphis can not catch lakers for 7th) brooklyn (1 game in front of milwaukee for best record in east) knocks off spurs portland upsets utah...

    What If?

    milwaukee, seven point favorites, lose big last night in san antonio, so, now, the kings would have to go 4-0 while the spurs go 0-4 for the kings to finish 10th. unlikely, but the dubs beat utah last night, so, phoenix still has hopes of finishing 1st in the conference and they finish with two...

    What If?

    i understand that there is a lot of anti-luke sentiment, which is why i phrased it in terms of a question. however, italics excluded, i did not use the word "might" regarding walton. while making it clear that i don't think he is a great coach, i posited a situation where the kings might be...

    What If?

    in april, on the fire walton thread, i concluded that walton will likely start next season as the kings' coach (unless there are massive trades/rebuilding). as of now, that still looks likely to me. but riddle me this: the standings/schedule say that the kings "could" slip in as the 10th...

    Fire Walton

    not sure what this has to do with firing walton (either before or after they retire his jersey - actually, for him, they should hang a face mask in the rafters), but if you start eliminating history because of name/location changes, you remove the one world championship the kings have won - and...

    Kings Convert Metu to a Full Contract

    until this year, i was unaware that a team could drastically reduce compensation for a player. as i understand it, before the season started, metu signed a three year deal for slightly more than a million a year. then the kings had to make some roster moves and metu (despite his contract) was...

    Marvin Bagley unbreaks hand!

    1) if you have doctors on staff, why NOT check the finger daily, change the splint, ect.? 2) when marvin returned, walton said, "he is a long way from game shape" - that indicates that the coach was not impressed with the shape he had kept himself in. i disagree that only playing in games can...

    Fox out 10-14 days - Health and Safety Protocol

    so, when all is said and done, where do you think d'aaron fox will rank on this list: alan iverson russell westbrook mike conley jason terry. and since no one said it: "good - that way luke can't get him seriously injured."
