Bingoi really think the problem with our rebounding is that we try to out jump people instead of trying to box them out.
BTW we just got this coaching staff and havent changed the roster much at all so you can blame management for our awful team defense.
As if they have a freaking choice at this point? Look at all the injuries, were playing our young players right now so i dont know what it is your looking for at this point. Getting guys like Garcia, Shelden, Artest (of course) Salmons and even douby is moving in the right direction in terms of defense but now the next step is to get that Power forward that we need which is much easier said than done.You can blame 'em both.
Adelman was right about not being able to get much D out of the players he had, not that we liked hearing it at the time. And the FO hasn't fixed anything since.
But I am pretty tired of slogans like "Nobody will get PT unless they play hard defense," followed by D getting even worse.
BTW we have a chance at the POs next year if we get Beasley, or Rose.That's a 0.6% chance, so BLAH!

We can do it![]()
I now we dont have a shot at the number one pick but just for hope...what were portlands chances last year in terms of percentage?
OMG i forgot about that!they had 1 more loss than us last year so at this rate we should have 1 more loss than them this year. KINGS FANS NEED TO WISH!![]()

Theus and Muss the same? ugh..

All that proves is no matter how hard our guys try they can't play defense.
Another pointless woss.
Unless you're talking to piksi, I believe that would qualify as a straw man argument.
Just the same, here, enjoy.

how much higher could we ge right now? like 1 spot?
absolutely beautiful move by spencer there at the end of the quarter
Yet we have won more games and had an improved record for the first time since 2001. So, the stats are pretty much the same as last year, but the record is better.. So if all the players played the same I would attribute the record increase to the coaching.. Putting the right players in at the right time.
GO THEUS!
I dont know the guy but im pretty sure he knows that. It is now up to management to improve that area.Better coaching is a distinct possibility, as is improved offense, I haven't really analyzed those figures lately.
Overall, he's a better coach, no doubt about it. With Muss, the glass was nearly empty. Now it's half full, which is not bad at all for a noob NBA coach. He just needs to realize that it's rebuild time, and that the D issue is not going to go away on its own.
The best we could do was 11th, and we still have a chance at that pick if we lose the last 3 (all against western elite so it's not out of the question), and the Pacers win 2 of their final 3. That would = a tie, and a coin flip for #11..
Also, what does it matter anyway? You follow the draft like I do REAL close, and we both know that there isn't going to be much difference in 8-14 anyway so what's the big deal? Speights, Greene, McGee, and Arthur will all be available. 99.9% sure of thatI am really starting to like Greene since he has declared.. A legit 6'10-6'11 with hops, and a perimeter game to go along with it. Decent passer, and on the ball defender. Lacks the rebounding but has a lot to do with position.
It isn't just about possibly moving up, it's about possibly moving down. There's no point in getting an even worse draft position regardless of how minor the difference you think there is.
Oh, nah... No way we move down unless GS(or denver), or POR gets the top 3.
Oh, nah... No way we move down unless GS(or denver), or POR gets the top 3.. The chances of Portland getting #2 is about the same as us getting #11.. but there is always a chance! The good thing about the whole #11/#12 thing is that Indiana is still in the hunt. So they should win he games or at least try hard to.
