Fire Walton

[Tetsujin]

Me riiiiiiight before getting dumped by my ex:

"As far as the front office, I feel very connected with them and very locked in as far as where we're at and where we're trying to go as a group. They've been very supportive." -Luke Walton

Enough of this clown.

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.

McNair and Vivek are pro-tank confirmed!

You know what I really like? The leader of my team throwing a tantrum when my team has lost 9 games in a row.

 

[sactowndog]

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.

They gave up 140 points to the team with the worst offense in the league. Trade everyone except Fox, Hali, Bags, and the kids. And not like at the deadline--like tonight.

If the Kings get blown out by Detroit, Walton might be gone. Tank Commander or not

 

[Iced Espresso]

Didn't watch, but thankful & lol full we lost.

I can in full amusement see if we lose to Detroit for 10 straight.

I hope we do.

 

[Iced Espresso]

My 3-year-old wouldn't even do this...

EDIT: as he tries to gouge out my eyeballs for turning off Peppa Pig for the Wizards-Nuggets game...

Highlight of my day.

 

[Iced Espresso]

So for neutral fans....Walton the 29th most valuable coach.

Including the recently fired GM from Minny.

Walton is the 29th coach out of 29 or 30 depending....

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.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

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.

When Pop has a big tantrum people celebrate it.

 

[New Era]

Maybe Luke should try this???

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

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!

[SLAB]

I’ve always been partial to a Kenny Natt / Tyrone Corbin co-coach two headed monster situation.

 

[joemama]

Bagley is not close to the level of those players. Bagley is flirting with being a bust.

He's two years from being two years away from being a bust.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Wow, that's... Wow. So, can we bring Adelman back?

Adelman: 8 seasons, 8 playoff appearances, 8 records above .500
17 other coaches combined: 28 seasons, 2 playoff appearances (one 7 seed, one 8 seed), 0 records at or above .500

 

[SLAB]

Following in the footsteps of Kings legend Bruno. I like it.

So if we fired or otherwise removed Walton an let Gentry take over he wold walk through the door at .462 the second best coaching record on the list?

Notice Alvin Gentry is already picking up the pieces after a Walton mess.

Thanks for bringing a little cheer to our day.
