Welp. Forgot there was another Kings game today.

Like Pete D'Allesandro, I am only focusing on half of the important stuff (in this case, I'm focusing on the watching the games part, which is a minor miracle considering the absolute mess the team has become, rather than the writing about them part). After all, it's not about the results but rather the style you use to do things.

The Kings are currently stuck in basketball purgatory. Yes, they're bad and a mess but they are still talented enough to (barely) beat the New York Knicks of the world, thus not making them terrible enough to write about. At the same time, they're also not very interesting at the moment unless you're one of those rubberneckers who slows down on the highway to watch the cops pull mangled bodies from car crashes, which makes my job as a game thread writer difficult. (It also doesn't help that my limited creative energies are largely being devoted elsewhere at the moment, leaving me with little time or energy to put together game threads.) In other words, the Kings 3.0 suck but they don't suck enough for me to waste my energy finding new ways to describe how bad they suck.


In conclusion, I will leave you with a quote:

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

-Icarus before he flew too close to the sun. Pete D'Allesandro might have also said this.​

Without lebron they are small and slow. We should be able to run them out of the building.

 

[Chubbs]

Klove is back to putting up huge numbers on a bad team.

He must feel right at home.

How about keeping them from running us out of the building, then maybe walking them out of the building. Right now the weaker the opponent is the more of a threat they are to our wounded Kings. Go Kings.

i wish we could run the front office out of the building. Including any of their pace loving groupies

Small? They now have Mozgov at the center (7'1') and Heywood (7'0'') as a reserve although they seldom use him. Actually Kyrie Irving is their shortest player at 6'3''. Dellavedova is 6'4'', but the rest of the active roster are 6'6'' or taller. However, they are not athletic and that may be the difference.

Since we lost in horrible fashion to the nuggets, I'm predicting another loss.

Nothing about this team is predictable.

Nothing about this team is predictable.

Besides them putting the fans through agony every year

Nothing about this team is predictable.

I would contend that the Kings have been very predictable, since shortly after DMC first got sick:

They do not beat any team that is not stinking up the court.

If the opposing team makes their open shots, the Kings lose.

If Westbrook and KD showed up that last thunder game wouldn't have won

B****, b***, b***!

Can't say I disagree with anyone who bitches anymore. Winning > losing still, I'm open to us winning.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

B****, b***, b***!

If you're content with this type of Basketball then so be it. Doesn't mean the rest of us should be. or that we should be quiet about it

who knows what to expect here...maybe the players will feel like playing in this one since they are on NBA TV. Other than that, keep the losses coming.

Can we kick this guy out of town with Pete please?

 

[Chubbs]

Memphis got screwed by a non call on a clear basket interference that sent their gane to OT. Karma.

Yea well at least they still got to go to OT

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Reno uptempo junkball style propaganda on the pregame show. Great sign of things to come

Double OT.

 

[Tetsujin]

Phoenix IT makes Sacramento IT look like John Stockton in comparison.

I saw the banner saying 146 Reno 149 San Antonio lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Marc Gasol absolutely taking over the game. The poor Suns absolutely helpless as the feasts on their small frontcourt.

The Kings front office should be taking notes.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i got the Cavs winning by 11

 

[HereWeBoogie]

They had a whole segment about it on the pregame show. Talking about how the style could maybe move to the NBA. i barfed

 

[HndsmCelt]

Nice little preview of great things being done with "The System" in Reno

 

[k_dubb90]

Rudy gay better show up. Mike miller is a walking mismatch
