Hmmm he always knows something before it goes down

 

[NewArena]

Relax. I really doubt we're going to end up significantly higher than where we currently stand, so I think the draft odds will still be in our favor at the end of the day.

Amen!

We were second. After the three game win streak to nowhere we are 4th out of the best odds. Our next game is against Washington which we will probably win and put us with more wins than Brooklyn.

And yet, there’s still plenty of time for trades and a losing streak. Too early to know what the hell will happen

Imagine paying this guy 60 million. Say what you want about Sabonis but even with damn near broken ribs this season, he was never dogging it like this. Poor Mike Brown

At some point, gotta blame the other playoff teams for coming in here and not taking the game serious. Players and coaches don't tank or throw the game on purpose as much as Sactowndog wants us to.

Only bright side is this is the right time to be peaking for the vets, a few weeks before the deadline. Hopefully leads to a strong firesale

Plus with the flattened odds, it’s not quite as important to be the worst of the worst.

He held out until he got paid. He didnt take some kind of pet project. Mike isnt that generous.

I get your angle but regardless the kings resurrected Mike's career.

The Knicks will end it.

Mike walking away without saying anything to former players and coaches says a lot about character. Suck it up and shake hands man. You got a cheer coming back here. Thats all the respect you need.

I didnt want Mike fired. But I also dont feel sorry for him

Slander against Mike Brown. He’s been nothing but classy when asked about Sacramento including thanking Vivek. Has always taken the high road. Karin Lear said. He was invested in this city and organization and sounds like some of the players undermined him. So if he never interacted with players in the previous days or after the game, the dude is human. Also, more importantly, he’s a good coach. Now we are stuck with a guy who just isn’t. Effing great move by the organization.

 

[dude12]

Yeah, because Doug Christie or any of the Kings players were his former employer, right?

The dude is just being petty. Fox ain’t here anymore and Sabonis wasn’t even playing, whichever was the one that didn’t like him.

Far as I can tell, Brown got what he deserved. Especially so if not following the direction of his employer.

Lyon mean he got a better situation because he’s a good coach?

Subjective loyalty to Mike Brown is admirable. Others have a more objective view of his talents.

DeRozan played 41 mins and Westbrook played 39. Watch Indiana strategically manage a top 3 pick and make another deep run next season, while developing a top young talent

Are we forgetting this same strategy has lead us to an 11-30 record? Its not like we've deviated from heavy vet minutes all year. They've been bad and theyre going to continue to be bad.

Unless we think the opposing team shooting 19% from 3 is a sustainable winning strategy, theres going to be a pile of losses coming.

Lakers shot 22% from 3. Rockets shot 23%. So unless we've magically become the greatest 3pt defense in NBA history, we're pretty much just hitting shooting variance from these other teams.
