HB
I hate the way Ham starts off basically saying "bye" to HB who clearly seems to want to return. I have lived in tough media markets but I find his "friendly but rude" approach far worse than your average toxic "you really sucked tonight how you gonna earn your contract loser" approach.
Well it's not just that he asks it's how he asks. He could just say "What are your thoughts on your pending free agency? Are you hopeful to stay in Sacramento?"yeh maybe not the best first question but I bet he knew it would be asked and wanted to hear himself ask it haha
I must say that our guys are a bit more self-satisfied than I thought they would be. I thought they had a chip on their collective shoulders only a first-round win would dislodge. No. They would have liked to win, but their 7-game showing against the defending champs was good enough. I certainly don't get the sense, listening to Fox, for example, that they're THAT disappointed. They think they've taken a big step forward as is and are fine anticipating another big step forward next year.
Golden State wanted it more. Hopefully that changes next year.
No they didn't. This is a very simplistic view of the series and of the Kings. GS has been there, done that, for many years. They didn't get there because they wanted it more, they got there because they had experienced the incredible pressure and physicality of a multitude of playoff series, including ones they lost. There is a reason why younger less experienced teams lose in the playoffs, and it has nothing to do with not wanting it as much as the veteran teams that beat them.
DeMarcus Cousins is on line 1 with his agent Bricklayer.Man, this is the sign of times changing. Hearing HB and Lyles love their time here and want to return... that's been a huge missing ingredient in Sac for a long time. And hopefully, this starts to extend to guys outside the team that see us as a viable option to actually go be apart of a great culture and a team that's constantly in the playoffs. Rather than a place you go for your career to die.
Gotta disagree with you Kingster. My old a$$ eyes told me that the warriors wanted it more. My Girlfriend who doesn't watch a lot of basketball said it before i did. The warriors rebounding (looney) told me everything i needed to know. Yeah, i know the bounces went their way but when you get 4 offensive rebounds in one series which lead to an eventual bucket, well, that spoke of the direction game 7 was going.No they didn't.
