What's this obsession with who coaches the Kings and when? We have one head coach and that's all we need to win. Merry Christmas to all on here and to PDA and Jackson and Mullin and Corbin and Karl and Vivek and Malone and Smart and Hollins. And a happy Holiday Season to you all.

Vivek, is that you?

Let's do it! I'm gonna walk in with the sign folded up so it doesn't look big. then open it up in the game and see if they say anything. Just gonna see if i get kicked for holding it. Not going to be jumping arund, screaming and yelling like a degenerate, block peoples views. Then they would have a legit reason to kick me out so it wouldn't be much of a story.

I know sign lady, and also sign man who preceded her, and they never had any trouble bringing signs into the arena. Sign man used to bring in a whole suitcase full of signs. So unless they've changed their policy, I don't think you'll have a problem.

The reports about the problems with the "We Want Karl" sign basically came down to the fact that a fan behind them claimed the sign was blocking their view and complained to the staff. There appears to be no content-based issue.

No disrespect meant, but leaders matter. When I was in the marine corp, there were officers I would have followed into hell, and others that I wouldn't have followed into the mens room. There are a couple of us that are just a tad upset with the firing of Malone. However, were willing to forgive and forget if they're willing to do the right thing and hire Karl. I'm not saying that Karl is the only answer, but right now, this instant, he's the obvious answer. I'm not saying that Corbin is a bad coach. I'm saying he's not the right coach for the Kings right now. And some of us really really care about right now. So Karl would be a nice christmas present for us.

I'd also like to note, that Karl is one of the most successful coaches in the NBA. He's won everywhere he's gone, and he's been especially good at winning with young teams, and teams that aren't supposed to win. He has a proven track record of winning.

Don't you go making sense.

Well said and I understand. I guess I'm one of the few who figure Vivek has a plan to help the Kings get a lot better and will implement it in a timely fashion. I may be crazy but I do less squirming in my chair. Sometimes it pays to be dim.

I believe he has something that makes sense up his sleeve. If he doesn't, he clearly will have earned the title of the stupidest owner in the NBA. I don't think he is stupid but he's coming very close to earning that title when it comes to the NBA.

Also, if he has no plan that makes sense, he just may lose a lot of money. So far he is acting as if there is no difference between middle school and the NBA. he simply HAS to be brighter than that.

I will follow Boogie where ever he goes.

Why not when we can beat opponents 128 - 108. Could there be method in their madness?

here's the thing. We don't have Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, David Lee, Andre Iguodala, etc.

splash bros don't grow on trees. we are talking about possibly the best shooter in NBA HISTORY here. When you have that guy on your team, maybe you can beat teams with run n gun. (but we'll see how that works out in the playoffs


our best player is a 270 pound center that dominates the paint. We either build a style of play around him, or we fail

Umm, you might want to figure out when that graphic came from, because it's not this year.

2014-2015 Golden State Warriors
Opponent points/game: 98.7 (11th best)
Opponent FG%: 42.2% (1st best)
Opponent 3PT%: 31.9% (4th best)
Opponent Assists: 20.6 (ranking not available)
Opponent points in paint: (Not available, but...)
Opponent FG%, 0-3 feet: 60.8% (t-8th best)
Opponent percent of FGs taken within 0-3 feet: 27.9% (9th best)
and of course the most important number
Opponent points per possession: 1.001 (1st best)

Yes, I would love for the Kings' defense to look like the Warriors' defense.

Welp it was from a graphic shown during tonights GSW-LAC game on TNT so i assumed it was accurate. Wow that's crazy, it was way off.
 
That was definitely the graphic for their game against the Lakers. The rank is against themselves. It's showing how that was their worst game this season

Thank you. I was looking at that and wondering where the heck that came from. They are one of the top defenses in the NBA, arguably the best, especially with a healthy Bogut.

I got beat to correcting you, but at the moment, the Warriors have the best point differential between points allowed and points scored in the NBA. At the moment, the Warriors are scoring 107.2 ppg, while allowing 97.2 ppg. That's a 10 point difference, in a league where usually the difference is only a couple of points one way or the other. For instance, the Thunder are scoring 95.7 ppg, while allowing 93.9 ppg. Then there's the Kings who are scoring 100.6 ppg, but allowing 101.4 ppg. As you can see, were on the wrong side of that equation. I believe that the Warriors have the best defensive rating in the NBA right now.

I learned along time ago to check, and then double check your facts before posting, because if your wrong, I guarantee you someone will catch you. And when you get to my age, never never ever rely on your memory. That damm Capt is always out there lurking....:eek:
 
Can we hire a coach already?! The sooner he starts the better for this team long term. He can start laying the foundations on how he wants us to play.

Much as I like to hand wring over the Kings coaching situation, the Bucks just went to a lot of trouble to get Jason Kidd as HC. I don't think we're at risk of losing Karl to the Bucks

As far as I know, there is no competition for his services. We can't sit back and ignore Karl.

Of course. The league isn't going to wait for NBA 3.0 to kick into gear.

Is it fair to say that the hierarchy is absolutely shell shocked by the fans reaction to coach Malone's sacking?! They have been awfully quiet since the sacking and even the little leaks that they got out these to try and diffuse the situation did not have the desired effect (first how Malone didn't want to extend DMC and Rudy and then the D-Will trade). Now they are trying to weather the storm but I don't think it's working for them!

Well D'Alessandro sure does seem to have a sock stuffed in his mouth that's for sure. Seems like they have gone into lock down :)
 
question regarding Karl....does he preach defense or is he mostly a offensive minded coach? I know his Denver teams didn't play a lick of defense
