Fire Walton

Anyone known who he was yelling at?
This was after Buddy turned the ball over trying to kick it out to CoJo (seriously what is wrong with you Buddy, just take the midrange!!!!) and then on the other end he got caught on a screen, Holmes sagged off instead of showing hard and they thus left Burks open for a 3 which he made, putting the Knicks up 20.
 
Not one of those players in a small market have gotten there team to the next level. 76ers took much more than Simmons to get to playoffs.
Celtics was stacked before Tatum
Ayton is a afterthought to brooks
Kat might as well be cousins on kings.

You proved my point exactly. We need the playoffs way more than a. Player. Fox and Bagley and rook are those players your wishing for we just badly coached
Bagley is not close to the level of those players. Bagley is flirting with being a bust. Getting a top level wing is a must to be a good team and the only way the Kings get one is via the draft.
 
If the Kings get blown out by Detroit, Walton might be gone. Tank Commander or not
If Walton really wants out throwing a coke machine out of his hotel window might get the job done. That clipboard act was weaksauce. It'll take more than that to get the brass to jump apparently haha.
 
At this point I want the beatings to continue until morale improves which means Walton getting fired.

This may be the worst stretch of basketball I've ever seen the Kings play. The defense is beyond atrocious. What are we giving up over the last 8 games... like 135 a game?

Maybe this is McNair's plan: ask Walton to play the scrubs for the tank and then use the poor record to justify replacing him.

We've known how awful he is since before the season started. If McNair didn't know it surely he does by now. I want him gone as much as anyone but it's only right to let him finish the job first isn't it? Nobody worth hiring is going to come in mid-season anyway. I'm not a big fan of desperate panic moves or empty gestures. Starting the season with Luke Walton on the sideline was a tacit admission that a stealth tank was in the offing. Haliburton blowing up got us all to think bigger for a little while but reality has set in now. So let's just grit our teeth, endure 40 more games of this and then we can part ways with him and collect our Luke Walton era consolation prize.

Depressing Post Of The Day:

As bad as Luke Walton has been, here is a list of the win% of all Sacramento coaches in the entire Sacramento era:

.633 Rick Adelman
---League Average .500---
.415 Reggie Theus
.413 Luke Walton
.403 Garry St. Jean
.402 Eric Musselman
.398 Phil Johnson (Sac era only)
.398 Dave Joerger
.393 George Karl
.386 Rex Hughes
.368 Mike Malone
.340 Keith Smart
.340 Eddie Jordan
.329 Jerry Reynolds
.298 Paul Westphal
.298 Dick Motta
.293 Bill Russell
.250 Tyrone Corbin
.190 Kenny Natt

And before the current losing streak, Walton was at .453! Just think if we had compiled this list then!

OK, carry on with whatever it was you were doing before you read this, if you can!
