This junkball system is working my last nerve. Sixty-two points in a half, and you're down twenty-four? Seriously?

The sad truth? It's deliberate. That's actually part of the strategy. To try and get the ball back either through a pressure to or a quick basket for the other team. It's a garbage system that has no place in college hoops let alone the pros.

Sounds like fun basketball. Gonna have to check out a game.

"Fun basketball..???" It doesn't look like basketball at all! Ridiculous.
That's what you plan to do with the kings as well? What's exactly fun about it? That's just horrible

As I remember, questions about Reno were not asked to PDA on Carmichael Dave show. Too bad, it would be interesting to hear any reasonable explanation of running this circus with a grown men's basketball team, in the NBA Development League. I know PDA was successfully spinning his answers, but still.

Didn't say it's good basketball lol, it's the d-league. Just that's it sounds fun to watch."Fun basketball..???" It doesn't look like basketball at all! Ridiculous.

So irritating to see most D-league teams (group of the top teams for sure) emulate their parent team so as to help the transisition of their players to the NBA parent BUT NOT RENO AND THE KINGS!
Bighorn basketball is unwatchable! It is nothing more than playground level shooting drills. No plans (whoa, that makes sense considering), no plays, no defense, no nuturing of players, no preparation for players to advance to the NBA style of play. If this is Ranadive's idea of NBA 3.0 then to this long time fan, past STH and ex-college player it is a failure insifar as game style or pace or play is concerned. Went to a few Reno games in past years but not this year. It's not basketball anymore and it sure as h... doesn't prepare players get into the NBA much less help the Kings with player development.
So then, why should we support it? Why should we be encouraged to buy season tickets if there is no minor league team to help our Kings with up and coming players?
First, you need a plan for the Kings team to win more games. Winning solves all ills. But Kings don't seem to have a plan. Neither does Reno. Second you need a good coach who gets the team to play to their strengths, plays defense and plays together. Had that and threw it away.
What is really going on here? I sure don't know. Do you in the FO? Where is my encouragement to watch and pay to see Kings NBA style basketball? Or don't you care about the team and us any more?

Yes, as a matter of fact I wanted to ask that question, but time ran out.

That's too bad.
I'd sure like to see someone ask how the Reno Bighorns fit into their plans.

Good. I like the willingness of the young man to improve.
Not sending him to Reno right now is just being stubborn....send his ass down there for a few games when the timing is right.....a break between Kings games at home.....and let the kid get some run. Let him shoot in a game situation so he can get some confidence going. I don't care what offense they run, he just needs to play and get back to not thinking and just play.
Better, or rather, more specific question: what's the point of having a D-League team, if they're not going to run a system that the players will ever play in, should they get called up?

I've never seen basketball played the way the Reno Big Horns play
Note: The Reno Bighorns defeated the Santa Cruz Warriors tonight 157-132. They set an NBAD-League record with 31 three-pointers (going 31 for 54 from behind the arc).

Were we talking about anything other than the Bighorns, I'd take it as a compliment.
