    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    Are you sure that the defensive scheme is not Mike Brown's and Luke is hired to implement it? It is hard to believe that Brown has no input and gives an assistant carte blanche to fully run the team's defense. Maybe delegate some of the mundane tasks but to turn over the entire defensive...

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    Curious about what you consider a "personnel issue". Is it between parties, i.e. player/player or coach/player, or GM/coach/players, or owner/the whole shebang? Maybe you mean something else. I'm interested in your take.

    [Game] 20/82: Kings @ Trail Blazers 29 NOV 2024, 7pm PT/10pm ET

    RE: DirectTV I had the same black screen problem on channel 698-1. The next day the recording would be totally black from beginning to end. Recordings on other channels were fine. My workaround was to record a replay on channel 696 (I think, maybe 698) for a 2 hour period later that night of a...

    Mike Brown

    Interesting resume. Thank you for the time and research that must have gone into its development. What may be relevant is that, with such an outstanding resume, why wasn't Brown chosen for head coach for openings on other teams? Rather, he languashed on the Warrior's bench for six years after...

    Buddy, you nailed it. About time someone, besides me, broaches the subject. Take note forum, it's a reap what you sow issue.

    Mike Brown

    Some thoughts to ponder: Barnes leaves....becomes WC player of the week Hali leaves....becomes an All-Star Hield leaves....does well with Warriors' system Davion leaves....becomes a starter and doing well Keegan arrives....great offensive first year, subsequently offensively declining Huerter...

    Check again. There were a few.

    Three Level Attack

    It is apparent that you missed the fact that I expressed no position on any subject except to agree with your opinion that the 3-point offense (and defense) needs to improve. You can infer whatever you choose, but inventing an unexpressed position is not a valid tactic. It smacks of a "straw...

    Three Level Attack

    Generally, a reasonable response. The matter now becomes a "we shall see" situation.

    Three Level Attack

    The reason the questions were posed is that I don't have the answer to any of them. Rather, they are for consideration of possible reasons for a team condition that mystifies you and some thoughtful members of the forum. If the questions stimulate forum members to develop a theory and can site...

    Three Level Attack

    Deadly serious. An entire team, save one new player, defy their collective career performance and underachieve in a vital part of the game. There must be a reason beyond pure happenstance, as is implied. Last season was not particularly stellar as well (specifically think Keegan) and neither was...

    Three Level Attack

    Are the players mentioned intentionally missing their shots? Is it that they don't care enough? Do they need to practice more? Are they unmotivated by their individual and collective situations? Is there an underlying hidden reluctance or rebellion? Until these questions are answered, verified...

    [Game] Kings @ Spurs 11/11/24 5pm PST, 8pm EST

    Very interesting development. The players that have been playing the Brown system for a while are under-producing now. One new team member (DeRozan) is flourishing comparatively, while other new players are floundering. It is similar to the situation when Brown was new two seasons ago. Murray...

    [Game] Kings @ Heat 11/4/2024 5:15 PST/8:15 EST

    Given the officiating in this game, it was surprising that Sabonis was not called for a foul on Bam during the final play. After watching the replay over-and-over, it appeared Sabonis had Bam's jersey in his grasp and gave Bam a shove on the rebound. Bam acted like he was pushed out of the way...

    Predictions 2024-25

    If the "Resident Pessimist" feels this good about the season then even the WCF is a possibility. You might lose the pessimist title at this rate! ;)

    Ah, yes. Scenario 1A+++. Like it!

    Predictions 2024-25

    Scenario 1: The Kings finish in the top three seeds in the West. They win one or two rounds in the playoffs. Fans are ecstatic over the progress and have even higher hopes for the 2025-26 season. Monte’s and Mike Brown’s strategies are hailed. Scenario 2: The Kings make the playoffs in 4-6th...

    IT, JTA, and Lonnie Walker in town for workouts

    Have to agree on the concept. Those "in the know" tend to use such abbreviations too often for those not in the know. Even game broadcasters overly use abbreviations or even pet names while announcing. It just serves to reinforce the clique of "us" while completely confusing the more casual fan...

    Keegan “KEEGAN MURRAY” Murray

    Big Keegan Murray fan here. But if he doesn't come out in year three as spectacular in ALL aspects of the game he may become trade bait. Given his contract situation and the fans/management expectations, he could become quite the resource for obtaining another All-Star level forward to go with...
