[KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

[Caccia]

Coach Brown is late: $20,000 worth of late.

the Vivek antics entirely more tolerable when it turns out that all the players apparently love playing for him

Gonna be nice once those catch & shoots start falling.

Hell yeah! I'm hoping once the dam breaks, it will be a complete onslaught. Hopefully happens against OKC.

Matches the eye test. We need more pull-up threes before the defense get set.

Vivek's antics and Kayte's ramblings are more tolerable when we're winning.

Malik channeling his inner Mike Brown here

Something else to feel good about: The Kings are up to 14th in defensive rating right now. The last time a Sacramento Kings team finished a season in the top half of the league in defensive rating Rick Adelman was still the head coach.

If we can maintain our offense close to what it was last year, with this improved defense - we are title contenders. No other way to look at it.

I think that stat I posted above shows we are getting a LOT of good looks, they just aren't falling yet. Once they do, it will help our defense even more as the other team will be bringing the ball in from out of bounds more often.

ughhh Pasch and Rivers is pretty much the worst combination you could ask for. Good thing Mark Jones and Kayte are apparently the local broadcast for that game.

don’t mind us getting Breen and Doris though.

You don't like Pasch? Admittedly, the majority of my experience listening to Pasch is from Pac-12 games where he is playing the "I can't believe you're such an idiot" role against Walton, so I kind of have to give him props for that.

Pasch is okay in certain combinations but pairing him with Doc is a guaranteed snooze fest

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Would rather listen to Walton than Doc. Everyone is a genius when they can riff of Bill.

I see room for improvement.

It starts with Swipa stealing the opening tip.

I wonder how many times a player has swiped the opening tip in two consecutive games. Not exactly a stat that gets kept, but...

Swipa figured out that we lose 90% of our jump balls so why not just go pick it off.

Finally, a non-cringey take from BSPN.

Still no love for Keegan.
Keegan is playing the best for the team rn. When he left the game against the lakers it was night-and-day. When he came back into the game we put ourselves ahead.

Anyone actually watching games right now could see the amazing jump defensively.

It'll take a minute for the talking head types to notice what Keegan's doing on the defensive end. But if he keeps playing like this, locking up lead ballhandlers left and right, he'll be turning heads soon enough.

the Kings have 4 of the top 30 players in the league over the last week. Unfortunately Domas is only #2 to Tyrese so the trade was a failure and Monte should be run out of town.

 

[mrlaze]

6th in the West vs 3rd in the East. Were clearly still loosers.

...and that he seems to have stopped meddling! I have no doubt that Mike Brown's culture change vision that he shared during his interviews involved adjustments for Vivek as well, and he seems to have bought in (much to his credit).
