    Alex Len was phenomenal. And credit to Mike Brown for playing him.

    Why Isn't Sasha Playing?

    Do you think the thought hasn't crossed his mind? Are you saying he hasn't had a conversation with his agent about this? Anything can happen. Might even be doing the Kings a favor by freeing up a roster spot. Who knows what Oly is prepared to offer now.

    Why Isn't Sasha Playing?

    He can leave if there is a mutually agreed upon termination of the contract.

    Why Isn't Sasha Playing?

    It would be insane for Sasha to stay another year under these conditions. If we get a new coach, maybe he stays. I don't see him staying under Brown. He's either traded, goes back to Greece, or Brown is fired. Brown's antics also played out in the Davion/Keon situation. Maybe that works for...

    Why Isn't Sasha Playing?

    Sasha came over with a fantastic attitude and showed toughness on defense and performed well when given the chance. This positive attitude has been squashed by our personnel genius Coach of the Year who gave him inconsistent opportunities even when he performed well early/mid season. But I'm...

    If you're team is so poorly coached that losing one player, even a key player tanks you, that's on the coach. Adelman's teams would suffer injuries, and have guys coming out of nowhere to step up. Lawrence Funderburke comes to mind. I'm baffled that it can't possibly be Brown for a...

    Could this be the second time in his career Mike Brown gets fired the season after winning COY? These repeated types of losses are SO CLEARLY on the coach.

    Thank you. Still waiting for my apologies for getting absolutely crucified for saying very similar things three months ago. That's ok, I'd rather be right!

    I'm not complaining about people countering my argument. I'm complaining about people freaking out and framing my critical opinion is an "attack" on our coach - and also implying much worse things about me which I will not repeat. I do not consider differing opinions invalid.

    What Len was doing a decent job of was boxing out Looney. I was hoping Brown would play Len more to prevent Looney from averaging 37 rebounds per game during the series.

    Why is the tiniest criticism an "aTtaCk!!" People, seriously, grow up. This is a forum where debate occurs. If one can't express a moderately critical opinion about one of the Anointed Saviors in the org without being sneered at and it framed as an "attack"... how is that healthy? The SECOND I...

    Brown once got fired the year after winning COY. Not saying he will or should this year, but it's happened. And I'm not a hater, I just have sobered up. Once again, my actual opinion on Brown is that he's doing an OK job. But people think that any measure of objectivity around Brown is...

    [Game] Kings vs. Clippers - 4/2/2024 - 7:00PM PST/10:00PM EST

    These were gargantuan coaching blunders in my eyes that seemed like incredibly obvious solutions to series-losing problems. At the time I may have been a bit drunk on the COY kool-aid, justifying it in my mind by thinking there must be some reason I can't see for these decisions. I'm six months...

    I have never understood the reluctance to use Len going all the way back to early last season when it was clear he filled a huge gap for us. And not using him more in the GS series I simply will never understand. I can only hope he does not make the same mistake.

    Sounds like he just wants to protect his young players who may not have the savvy to avoid saying the wrong thing to the wrong person. It's definitely a subject you need to show sensitivity towards. On the whole I find the spirit of the Serbian people something of a wonder.

    Lyles has MCL injury

    Same, minus the horse, but still in cowboy boots. Hiking in them. I have since reconsidered my hiking footwear choice. Confirmed by MRI, not a small tear. Got one shot of PRP. I'm 99% now. But, took some time. A surgeon wanted to operate and take out part of my meniscus. Borderline criminal...

    This is a complete misunderstanding of the current state of Serbia, and even the big city Belgrade. With complete respect to you, I really cannot emphasize enough how wrong of a perception this is. On March 24th I was in the home of a Serbian family that I had met the week prior, watching the...
