The Kings don't deserve defending with the way they've been playing; at least the Bobcats play hard every night. If you want to talk to some blind homer, go bother someone else.
Playing hard??? LOL, lets say for the sake of argument that Charlotte plays harder than anyone else in the league. Well they still suck (even in the east) so what is your point here? Who wants to watch their team lose game after game? playing hard only goes so far when it comes to the fans spirits, and loyalty. Talent, chemistry, and good coaching (and system) are equally as important (if not more). Their ownership should have brought in an all-star veteran leader this year. This was the year to do it. Too bad it's true that the ownership does bear quite a resemblance to the old Clippers philosophy (tight-wallet).
Funny you would mention "blind homer" I have been thinking that of you since I first saw this post, and even more so now.
"Bother Someone Else"
That wasn't very nice.
Uhhhhh you are the one who is posting how great Kobe is, and how wonderful the 35% Bobcats are on a KingsFan message board (talk about trolling). Why don't you go on
their board and spew? What is your point in spewing here other than to TROLL? You are quickly going up to the same level of "Bothersome" as master troll Gargamel
at least the Bobcats play hard every night.
TV Watcher Fan???
Tell me, how many Kings, or Bobcats games do you attend each year? I can tell that it's not too many because you accuse the kings of not playing hard. If anything, they are playing harder this year than I have seen them play the last 2 years. There is just obvious confusion in their offence, and defense. They look choppy our there. They scrap more then I have ever seen them before, and most of them aren't even known as scrappers. There is no cohesion though, and It is pretty obvious from the 10th row that it is definitely because of the coaching.
Adelman was absolutely, hands down a better coach in most every way then Musselman is. He ran things smoothly, and everyone knew their role, and played well together in a highly effective system. I could go on and on about the differences between things they did down there, and things that they said to players, and the team. We (Well I guess it's only me, and not you) can only hope that he can pull it together, or is replaced I suppose. It is most definitely not the players fault.
If you think that this team can't win, and that they are just "not playing hard", you are a TV fan only, or perhaps sit in the nosebleeds, or just don't know basketball. TV is NOTHING compared to being there to "judge" the amount of effort a team is putting in, or analyse why one team is losing, and the other team winning.
The coaching staff is failing miserably so far. They are actually to blame greatly for the poor interior defense of the Kings (I'm serious), and even the low shooting percentage.
People see all the missed ill advised jump shots by the Kings, and layup's by the opposing team, and look to blame the players, but it's hard to defend well, or get open shots, or layups off of screens when you are playing "Jungle-Ball" and the opposition had a well coached ball club, with players that are on the same page as the team, and each other. Different players being rotated in and out of multiple positions every time there is a dead ball or timeout.
I have quite an advantage over most on my opinions of why the Kings are terrible this year. I have sat within earshot behind the bench for years. Trust me, it is not because of a lack of talent, or effort.
PS: If Adelman went to the Bobcats next year (Like that would happen), I would agree that they would make the playoffs, and would make quite a turnaround from this year, and the last 2 years. He is one of the greatest NBA coaches of all time, and a proven winner all throughout his career.
The Mallofs had a choice, stay with Adelman and continue to win, or go a "Different Direction" which was... Start losing. Sigh
