I good to see this board is already in mid-season form of looking for something/someone to blame all the world's troubles on. Lots of straw-manning and hyperbole going on in this thread. We have to remember that we're only 5 games into the season, we have a brutal schedule to start, and still -...

Great to hear that Dave is everything we hoped he'd be. All the talk about trust, family, accountability and DEFENSE is just what the doctor ordered for this team. It's clear that Vlade and Dave are very much on the same page, and if I'm one of the Kings players - he said exactly what I wanted...

Didn't see this posted anywhere - the announcement press conference will be hosted at 10 am (in 20 minutes!) here: http://www.nba.com/kings/kings-livestream-coverage Countdown to the new era!

I know we, as fans, had our hopes up before, but this just feels different. Step out of Vlade's way and watch miracles happen. What a get! VladFather cleaning house and establishing cohesive culture from top-down. EDIT: Something just occurred to me - remember who DMC always said was the...

Those are not mutually exclusive though. If you come in and your first words are "look at me, I'm the captain now!" - Cousins will have a much harder time following you, regardless of what ideas you have. If you come in with "here's how we're going to kick NBA's ass, and if you trust me, big...

I don't have a question per se (Padrino summed mine up pretty well above), but I would tell DMC to remember that the certain red-headed mouthpiece and the vocal detractors among the fan base do not speak for all, or maybe even the majority, of the fans. That there are those who fully understand...

Yeah, poor George Karl was undermined from the get-go. Right from the moment he decided to try and trade DMC before the ink was dry on his contract. But hey, he was just trying to get rid of the cancer player that destroyed the young and promising careers of all those coaches, from Musselman to...

At this point, it's like people complaining about Shaq's free throws. Of course, he could've and should've shot a better percentage but to claim that the one flaw in his game somehow diminished the overall impact he had on the court is pretty asinine. Would the same people lament on Shaq in his...

I can't believe the official highlights video didn't include the best sequence of the entire game:

Replace "basic math" with "easily observable and quantifiable trends" if that sounds better to you. When comparing apples to apples, this team is slightly below-average with DMC and historically awful without him. To me, that points to the non-DMC component being the culprit. And yes, trading...

Well, we won't know for sure until this franchise pulls its head out of its ass (or Cuz decides he's had enough of idiots wasting his prime years), but all signs as well as basic math point to one thing - DMC can get you 15-20 wins by himself, even with all the turmoil. So all we really need to...

Almost there... You've correctly identified the symptom, but not the root cause. We are a treadmill team because the foundation of the team is so rotten (without DMC it's a 17-win team) that no amount of single super-star talent can elevate it higher than 30-35 wins. You can argue what exactly...

Them goalposts, they be moving! Seriously though, there's only one correct way to wave the W-L stick around - and that is to compare winning percentage of the team with vs. without DeMarcus. But you know that, you just don't like the only possible conclusion that comparison yields.

Heh, I knew someone was going to bring it up. Does it mean then that the losses without Big Cuz do not count against him? By that logic, DMC led his team to .444 percentage this year, good for 36-37 wins!

You can't spell "Grant" without a "rant" I guess... I'm still not sure what Grant and those who agree with him want out of DMC. To shut up and play, like Rudy or Rajon, or Jimmer-freaking-Fredette? Yet, the same people are faulting Rudy and Rajon for "mailing it in" - so which one is it? Don't...

So what you're saying is, he should thank God we kept George Karl, right? :p

Yeah, when people act as if it's all about players simply wanting to win, I always have to ask what difference does the coach make then? This team seems to perceive defense as an inconvenience in between of offensive opportunities, and I refuse to believe it's simply because the players "lack...

Maybe playing 2 SF, 2 PG lineups all the time has something to do with us getting dominated on the boards. That, plus everyone leaking out before the rebound is even secured, because - pace!

Making a Murderer (Netflix) made one of my weekends disappear in a hurry.

It's pretty simple really. This is what happens when a mediocre-offense/terrible-defense team runs into a great-defense/mediocre-offense team. Having a corpse for a coach doesn't help either.
