DEEBO, THE SPECIAL Ks, AND THE CARDIAC KINGS

#33
Kings defense with Keegan-Keon on the floor together:

377 minutes

101.9 DEF Rtg

For reference, OKC has the best Def Rtg on the season by 102.7. The next closest team, Orlando is at 106.3
Man we have to start Keon!

What I liked last night is how good Sabonis and the defense as a whole looked trapping Herro on the pick and rolls that’s very promising for a future Dallas matchup. Okc earlier destroyed dallas by doing that and were successful in the playoffs using that strategy

they didn’t like the way he was fired, that was the biggest issue. Absolutely no one did, it was nonsense.
Vivek was in India. It was a quick turnaround. There was no other way. It happened as quickly as it could happen, unfortunately they were conference calling to make the call while Brown was running the practice and the decision wasn't final until he had left the facility.

It sucks but this still reminds me of a boss who chewed me out because I didn't deliver my two weeks properly. You get over it.

Malone has sour grapes he really should get over (he's also possibly on the hot seat as is coach bud who also criticized this), Kerr just needs to butt TF out of our business, and Karl is an old hag who the game has passed that Vivek contributed greatly to his retirement fund.

Also dude demanded a raise and extension and will collect ~$26million in pay he won't have to work for. I liked him and am sorry this happened but there's no reason to feel he was wronged in any way. Third time this has happened to him (won't count the second Cavs stint in which the team changed overnight with LeBron's return) and obviously he did not learn from his past mistakes as had been advertised.

or maybe fans should just get over it? Mike is beloved around the league, why would his friends and colleagues not defend him?

You don’t decide to fire the coach in the middle of the afternoon. Make the decision in the morning and pull the plug before practice. This franchise is going to get less leeway given their history.

They had an emergency conference call with an owner on another continent to make the decision, which I'm sure wasn't made lightly.

I'm going to defend our organization here because the timeline is what it is. I'd be shocked if Brown was as shocked as all his friends.
