You are right. I should utilize the ignore button much more often.

and your mute button as well, if you haven't tried it already. Makes a nice difference

 

[iowamcnabb]

Eh not going to let this loss bother me. Devin’s play today makes up for it. Think we are going to have to start Keon until Devin is ready and we may need to make some other big changes. At this point I’m thinking less about the playoffs and more about how we can turn it around and build something for next year.

 

[iowamcnabb]

The bigger question, why would anyone pay what they do, to live around that city?

if you are rich it can be paradise.

 

[Caccia]

Monk thinks everything is a good time. A generally great attribute in real life but not great during a losing streak.

I would say you need a guy like that to help keep your spirits up. As he said the other day, he was in Charlotte for four years without a single winning season, and Sacramento right now is nothing like that.

San Diego area, sure

 

[SLAB]

I'm ready for them to move both Fox and Keegan. Keegan from deep just makes me cringe every time now. Dude is LOST.

Keegan’s value is probably so tanked at this point this team has to hold on and hope he remembers how to shoot.

I’m all for trading Fox

 

[forza kings]

Regardless of any defensive flaws of this team, majority of these losses comes down to the fact that Keegan and Huerter are screwing up the offense just when you need them. Even if with a let’s say 5% better 3pt percentage from these two brickers we have 6-7 more wins including tonight’s game.

 

[megapoxy]

Cant remember when was the last time that Kings played well for a period of 30+ minutes during the game.
Always those "blackouts" during the game, we either fall behind early on, or waste a big leading margin from our side, or the other side makes an epic comeback at the end. We've seen all three of them numerous times, this season, the previous season, against good teams, bad teams, teams missing half their starters etc etc.

 

[iowamcnabb]

San Diego area, sure

I know a ton of people that love living in LA. It’s certainly not for everyone.

Keegan regressing is perplexing AF. The only thing I can come up with is that the added muscle effed with his shot.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Santa Barbara to LA is the play. One I foolishly didn't put more thought into when I took an industry job in 2003.

I'm visiting SB right now. It's pretty nice!

 

[206Fan]

Called Keegan out day 1. He sucks now

 

[SacTownKid]

I think that since both Huerter and Keegan, the two DHO dominant players, have declined at the same rate it has something to do with defenses and system. That's not a coincidence.

 

[Makaveli]

Poor Keegan. Every time i check the boxscore these days, i just shake my head.

Lower you expectations of him on offense. Rookie year was an anomaly. He is just defense.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

But when called out for this poor excuse for a team, I’m a downer. This team is awful.

Well, your "calling out" of McNair doesn't affect anybody but the people who have to read it, none of whom are Monte McNair. You're certainly not uplifting or encouraging anybody, you're not adding constructive criticism to the conversation. You're not offering any insight, you're just "calling out" someone who can't even hear your "call."

And then you have the nerve to take offense at people who don't want to do that (accuse them of "accepting garbage"), as if they're the ones trying to ruin your message board experience.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Not really hyperbole when one is 20x the leader than the other...

Who has Austin Reaves ever led?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Keegan regressing is perplexing AF. The only thing I can come up with is that the added muscle effed with his shot.

I think it’s a combination of factors. I don’t think him being relegated to the HB role has helped with that either. People ripped on Barnes for “regressing” last year too. Keegan has to be more consistent aggressive though so it’s ultimately on him to force his way out of this.

Nightlife is terrible there would definitely pick SD

So attack the rim get to the paint more than 2-3 times. Do something move around. He is a statue

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I would love to see a cap of 25 threes per game per team in all leagues it would add tactics to a game which is becoming completely devoid of them.

I'm for this. 25 three-pointer limit. After that, all shots are only worth two points, no matter where on the court you shoot from.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I'm visiting SB right now. It's pretty nice!

I really took living there for granted but I was also in my mid-20s and got lured to a city I was increasingly visiting. Funny thing is the director of the movie I spent most of my time on lived in Carpinteria and we shipped everything up there to him.

 

[iowamcnabb]

As much as I love both Deebo and Monk, I think we need one of them coming off the bench and one of them traded. I’m not normally the type that calls for that but I think we need to fix the defense before anything. We need to be in every game due to physicality and defense and then figure out the rest offensively.

 

[Double-K]

It's as if he's the protagonist of his own world and we are all just NPCs for him to abuse.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Reaves had 16 assists tonight and 26 pts

 

[Makaveli]

11-40. A this isn’t some off night this has been most of the season. It’s become the rule not the exception

 

[serbiangoat]

I'm for this. 25 three-pointer limit. After that, all shots are only worth two points, no matter where on the court you shoot from.

Yeah it would eliminate the bad shooters from shooting 3's as well upping % imo, the days of Josh Smith jacking 3s would be over.

 

[Caccia]

Keegan has to be more consistent aggressive though so it’s ultimately on him to force his way out of this.

Murray is one of many Kings who could have learned from Sasha Vezenkov how to move without the ball, to break to the basket, to find the backdoor cut. Those are skills you learn and that are incorporated into the offensive flow. In other words, the lack of off-the-ball movement comes from the coaches parking players in the corner and saying, "Sit."

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Curious if you move Monk in a Fox deal how that impacts collecting some of the allegedly untouchable pieces that team in Fox's hometown has.

 

[kingsboi]

Why would you pay 300 bucks to sit in your chair all night and stare at your phone. No energy in this building.

I think you can ask this question for a large group of the fans in attendance in any arena
