The team still has some holes, but should be good enough to beat this depleted Dallas team. Im also airing on the side of inept coaching. We're at full strength and our best player had one of his best games of the year. This needs to be a win.
The "tankers" are having their cake with the losses incurred by the Kings. The Kings are securely in that 7th slot. They are two losses behind the never-say-die Spurs, who not only never tank, but have the 25th toughest schedule remaining whereas the Kings have the 5th toughest. There appears to be a very high probability that lucky #7 is where the Kings end up. That said, the non-tankers like me are heartened by the resurgence of Fox and the indubitable addition in talent to this team. I guess the only people that are really unhappy are the ones that were banking on the Kings making the playoffs this year.
Before he opens his mouth, Van Gundy may want to consider whether this franchise might have a few more winning seasons under its belt if his brother hadn't screwed us over in that Kinko's. The remainder of my comments about where Van Gundy is welcome to shove any and all comments about our franchise will be omitted as this is a family board.
I'm sorry to say, but I don't think his brother would have been able to lead the team to any winning seasons.
Not to mention that I wasn't too hot for him back then to begin with. I am actually kind of glad that things didn't work out with Stan at that time. I just didn't think that we'd all still be here, on March 6th, 2022, talking about another losing season, and what seems to be a never-ending playoff drought.
