unmuted for a second and Kayte's blaming lack of continuity for Doug being bad at his job.

 

[Elektrik]

Does Lavine ever make an impact on the defense side? How is it possible that a great athlete never makes a play on that side?

No. No impact on defense at all.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kayte and Mark talking about Thibs like he’s going to be coaching here next year.

It's also funny, uh, continuity on a team where your own GM calls it a gap year and left everyone on the open market is a very fragile thing, lol.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Teams make 30 point comebacks in 8 minutes all the time!

Against us they do.

Perry is sweating already.

Was she "blaming" it on that, or was she pointing out two things that happen to be true, independent of each other?

 

[Tetsujin]

Perry hired Thibs in New York.

Only turn sound on for challenges and interviews

 

[hrdboild]

He isn't worse than Deebo on defense.....

Both are bad... LaVine is a lot worse. Exponentially worse even.

I get what your saying, but blaming the owner is probably the most useless thing one can do. Hes not firing himself. He is basically the team. And however the details went down, he still stepped it up and purchased the team when they could have been in Seattle.

Further more, prior to him buying it the kings was being sold off like a flea market asset by the malloofs.

Vivek comes to almost every game, has his family involved so he clearly cares about the team. More than most owners id say. Thats all I ask from the owner.

For the record I didn't want brown to get fired but I also wanted Christie to get the job. It feels as though I was wrong.

The blessing is, I dont think Christie takes losing very well. I hope its only a matter of time before ye blows this crap up

No one is blaming the owner. Vivek owns a stake in the team, he doesn't own all of it but his stake entitles him to decision-making power. We had a promising team a year ago and then took a sharp turn into being an absolute clown show. Perry, Christie, and Vivek are all responsible in some way for what we're watching right now. The question is, are they as pissed off about this as we are? I'm not sure that any of them are even aware of how bad this team is yet.

 

[SacTownKid]

Perry hired Thibs in New York.

Yeah, and then Thibs took the wheel.

 

[The_Jamal]

Kayte and Mark talking about Thibs like he’s going to be coaching here next year.

Honestly, Thibs might be a best-case scenario type of pick-up. We sort of know how the story ends, but that kind of personality probably is the only thing that would reign in Vivek.

Thibs wouldn't let Keon/Carter rot on the bench, that's for sure

 

[Elektrik]

He isn't worse than Deebo on defense.....

And no better either. Two of our starters can’t/wont play defense. Has no one in this front office ever heard the phrase “Defense Wins Championships”.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

I honestly see zero excuse for treating Ellis like this tho.

I also see zero reason why Carter isnt getting any consistent time. How can he develop?

Guys walking off the streets getting more PT than established or drafted Kings players is just very bad ops and organizational structure.

I dont know what this team is doing

my opinion, no point in arguing about vivek anymore. some people will always give him a pass because he helped save the kings. personally i loathe the little man. he is tone def as hell and is a straight up basketball moron. he’s the reason kings fans have to continually suffer through this slop. i choose to not spend a single dollar on the kings. i believe i am on year 5 of zero dollars being spent on anything kings. if you enjoy this in person, have at it. enjoy.

Both wont be here next year anyways

 

[The_Jamal]

Precious having one of the better true role player games the Kings have had this season.

Too bad mostly everything else about tonight has been complete ass

 

[Tetsujin]

It only took 42 minutes but we’re finally playing a sane Domas/Precious/Lavine/Nique/Keon lineup.

 

[The_Jamal]

Carter comes in, immediately gets a defensive stop.

It's just pure comedy man

 

[Tetsujin]

TWolves keep fouling Domas so Maxime can’t come in the game

 

[Sherds]

Why is Domas still out there in a blow out when he's ribs are injured

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Both are bad... LaVine is a lot worse. Exponentially worse even.

Going to agree to disagree on this one my friend. I just see no point of blaming a owner of a team. It doesn't do anything. Unless they not firing someone.

Wow Carter comes. Defense

Ellis defense.

Come on coach

 

[BuddyBuckets]

Another 20pt loss watch the black holes be worthless while Keon rots until the games out of reach. How long until sabonis asks out and we reduce the 2 crappers mins?

I'm right there with you. He hasn't and won't get a dime from me

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

[Sherds]

I enjoy this part of the game the most... Nique, Max, Keon

 

[Sluggah]

This game may have broken me.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

To say he doesn't need either one of you guys money would be a understatement.

But you will get no argument from me that the Kings Organization isnt a model franchise.

Try being a Raiders and Kings fan. Im pouring salt in my left eye as I type.

 

[Tetsujin]

There’s something there with Max.

 

[Caccia]

Doug is paid to not play in games.

Sure seems that way.
