[Game] Game 34: Sacramento Kings @ Detroit Pistons - 1/4/15 - 2:30 pst 5:30 est

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

True but some of them are still salvageable.

Not really.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Just in case you guys didn't notice they went back to the style Malone was running. This team just doesn't have the defensively able players to coast on defense for even a single possession.

When did Mike Malones style ever include giving up 18 points over a teams average PPG

 

[upinsmoke]

SHUT UP JERRY & GRANT. I do not want to listen to you touting the front office line on DWill. He couldn't defend a chair. Hell, he couldn't defend me and I'm a 5'2" woman who can't hit water from a boat.

Just STFU.

...

I got a serious warning once for using those type of words. Just saying...

 

[206Fan]

The more of Rudy I see, the less I like of him.

Don't worry though Kings fans, apparently now that i'm gone, you guys are going to make the playoffs...............

 

[kingsnation]

.... It was a miracle Malone got this crop of non-defenders to play as well as they did.

I don't call it a miracle. I call it a good coach getting his players to buy into his system.

 

[Swaze]

Not really.

Disagree. Ben, Ray, and Stauskas are still young enough not to be damaged goods. Casspi is too much of a grinder to stop playing hard.

This might the final straw that finally breaks Cousins. He's an incredible talent and best offensive big man in the game (and one of the better defensive centers) but I'm not sure how much more dysfunction and losing he can take before even he becomes permanently damaged goods. I know people don't want to hear that but sometimes it doesn't matter how talented you are, when everything around you is so F'd up and you keep losing a lot of games for several seasons that takes a toll.

That should be brought up to pete tommorow as well.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

this is ****ing disgusting:

The Kings have allowed 111.9 points per game over their last 10 games.

We may not have the same working definition of "damaged goods."

 

[SacTownKid]

I don't call it a miracle. I call it a good coach getting his players to buy into his system.

Considering the roster it's probably more like a COY candidate than just "good coach". I really hope PDA didn't think he gave Malone all the tools he needed to work with.

I'll send myself a very stern warning.

 

[King Baller]

Hopefully there are girls in the grades.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Bill Horrendous doesn't make these losses any easier

 

[VF21]

Hopefully there are girls in the grades.

I'd give the entire consortium the night off. What can they say? We suck.

I'm listening to Doug Christie right now and he has a better handle on what's going on with the team than anyone I've heard from the front office. Listening to him and Kayte almost breaks my heart. They can see it, we can see it, why can't the freaking front office CHOOSE to see it?

PLEASE give the CONSORTIUM the Night Off ! What are they gonna say that we dont already know. We Sucked. We have been sucking since the Malone Misstep, and we have not recovered from that egregious error. Just pictures of girls please. Or pictures of Different Dumpster Fires.....

 

[Albatros]

Disgusting effort.

Can't listen right now, what are they saying?

 

[Kingster]

I kind of hope the tone goes from Malone to more about the makeup of this team and what he's going to do to bring in some more talent that fits with one another. This roster is still really bonkers. They have to pretty much destroy their identity to fit some of the players into the game plan.

I'd like to know what there identity is. Right now it looks like multiple personality disorder.

I asked DeMarcus Cousins if losing Michael Malone hurt more than anyone realized: "It’s clear. We’re not the same team."

That, right there, Mr. D'allesandro, is your pink slip. Please leave all your belongings and security will package them and deliver them to you at the curb.

 

[upinsmoke]

They need to rehire Malone. A real man admits when he's wrong and faces up to it looks you in the eye and tells you as much.

 

[Hadlowe]

I can't wait for our city's little chat with a certain weasel tomorrow.

I hope that everyone (in as classy and civil and intellegent way possible) chews him up and spits out a man who knows he blew it.

Do we have someone to live blog it? I will be at work until late tomorrow night, but I can check the message boards.

I wish I knew the insanity just stopped there. I suspect it runs higher, in which case the only hope is that this serves as a training exercise for a rookie owner without a feel for the league.

he didn't. he stripped the team of defenders and gave him that had one good leg then promptly traded him for a position-less(tweener) replacement. this year when he actually had continuity, the team made strides even without the defensive players malone would've liked.

have you listened to any of vivek's interviews? it'll all make sense after you have.

Ya PDA is gone but that idiot who wants small ball will stay and he has Vivek ***** whipped. Until Mullin/PDA are gone we are in trouble.
