This is the most disappointing year since 1985. Measuere my expectations against the results and we have a huge gap. Worst year since 1985. Other years we expected to lose or around 2000, we expected some wins. This year I think most of us expected at least 35 wins. We may not get close to that. Back to ennui.
Idk about you guys but I watched DC f*** up this game with his selfish plays. I wouldvw benched him after Q2. He is so selfish playing for himself and GK still keeps him on?? Like seriously! Yeh the dudes fast but hes such a liability on the floor. Better having BMac out there.
Problem is its not just this game but nearly every game, DC's being handed out minutes despite poor play.
Put in Ben or Omri!!
On the other hand, i hope the s&t rudy for ryan anderson in the offseason.

But of course Kings first season in Sac 1985-86 was loads of fun making playoffs. For me this season with all the expectations, highs out of the gate followed by such lows makes it most depressing season ever. Maybe not as depressing as Coach Kenny Natt horrible debacle but pretty close. To think that George Karl could be mentioned along side Kenny Natt!
One of the problems that is obvious, and the whole NBA knows it, is all you have to do to get whatever you want against the Kings is stick Boogie in pick and roll....because Boogie is not interested in defending past 10 feet.
If this team is ever going to be any good Boogie needs to get in better shape to slide his feet on the perimeter and guard further away from the hoop. He can do it but it only happens sporadically. If he wants to win as badly as he claims he does he needs to commit himself to better off-season conditioning program and clean up his diet and cut back on the carbs.
We had this discussion before but it is still an issue. I think the team follows the defensive lead (or lack thereof) of their best players (a) Rondo, (b) Rudy and (c) Boogie and these guys take plays off. I don't mean to assert Boogie is out of shape but he's not in elite shape and plays role in our collective incompetence on that end.
There was a good podcast with Zack Lowe about the Blazers and how guys love to play with Lillard and this is big part of the Blazers success. When I listened to the praise and acclaim Lillard was receiving from his teammates and observers, it stood it contrast to Boogie and the culture he has help to create as the teams best player.
This is not to take anything away from his offensive dominance including destruction of the Pelicans frontline tonight. But he bears culpability on the other end of the floor along with most of his teammates. And yeah I know he's a good (great) interior defender but he is too willing too allow uncontested looks on the perimeter and it is either lack of desire or lack of conditioning or lack of respect to the opponent. Regardless it allows for fold jobs like tonight.

Agreed. It's a damn shame none of the coaches that were brought in here had established an identity for the team moving forward and as a end result fans get to watch rec style basketball being played on a yearly basis. Kings don't need to bring in A+ coaches, that's not realistic anyway. They need to start looking at some coaches from the Popovich coaching tree perhaps. There are options out there besides Thibs & Van Gundy, if of course he has any interest in coaching, and I don't think he does.
