[Game] Kings @ San Antonio Spurs 4/2/2023 3pm Pacific 6 pm Eastern

Besides his low IQ and overuse of the word "but.." constantly flubbing something and endlessly it's, "excuse me..." - the guys an embarrassment on Kings TV.

True. I cringe frequently when he's on TV. As another poster said "the least flexible piece of all time".

Doesn't Kenny Thomas have a business he has to manage?

... it's legitimately a possibility that we drop 4 straight. We're playing against Pelicans, Mavs, Warriors, and Nuggets.

That would be five straight. I don't see it happening.

When was the last time we lost 4 in a row after the opening of the season?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Something about not liking one's allies?

Not sure who just asked a similar question of Fox right now but was done 1000x more gracefully.

 

[SacTownKid]

Disappointing loss but Len is showing he could be someone to rely on defensively when the time comes.

it's always a possibility. What has watching this team taught you so far.
For me it is
One: we show up against quality opponents.
Two: we don't go on long losing streaks.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Kenny seems to sense that he won't be around next year.

If we lose to the Mavs, pack it up. Playoff bust.

Maybe but his local restaurant failed not long after opened.

Ideally, if he could shoot a little bit better overall, that'd be a nice backup C for us. But I'll take him and all his 7-foot for now.

ha! Ham doubles down even after he just answered the question. He's locked in on the home court struggles.

The way people talk, you'd think the Kings are below .500 at home, which simply isn't the case.

Simply being above .500 isn’t really the standard of being a good home team. That’s good for road.Kings are great on the road.

The standards are different, example, very few teams(even good teams) win more than they lose on the road. More than half of the NBA wins more at home. Even bad teams can simply be and are over .500 at home.

This Kings teams is on par with a couple of non playoff Kings teams in the last 16 at home. May finish worse than the 2 other winning home teams. We have had Kings teams with a real home court advantage so it’s hard to sell this “they are six games over .500 at home”. That’s not good for a 3rd seed. It just isn’t.

it’s not just Wins-Losses…and who the Kings have lost to at home. It’s the performance. They flat out have a lot of BAD games at home. Not just some rough finishes. The defense is on another level bad at home. That’s the only consistent extra gear they found at home. They play extra bad defensively.

Hopefully they figure it out in..2 weeks.

it’s a topic of discussion in post game. They seem to acknowledge there is something to figure out atleast

Don't you have a live Wrestlemania to watch?

Who should replace him? Not a lot of local NBA retired talent around here to chose from or would want the gig.

The Sacramento Kings will never be free of Kenny Thomas.

Sometimes you fixate on your narrative and try to alter the world for it to fit.

Why does it have to be a former NBA player? It never used to be for decades

 

[206Fan]

The 4 straight that we lost was against playoffs teams in the West.. plus Portland.

Anyone.

I'd even take Grant back.

 

[KainLear]

That's from the opening 4-straight losses?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Even in the most enjoyable season we've had in close to 20 years I guess we're still gonna chicken little games like this. I better just switch to Mania now.

Sheamus, McIntyre, and GUNTHER are beating the ******* out of each other rn!

I don't even need a former NBA player. Could be Carmichael Dave for all I care. Anyone but K-9.

Spider Thomas would be a great replacement.

Are they still the Banger Bros?

For the Kings' sake, I sure hope that McNair isn't as reactionary as Kings fans are.

It is a discussion forum. Saying that the team hasn't played well at home for a 3rd seed...and trying to figure out why, doesn't mean the sky is a falling. It's a legit observation

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Lady reporter who asked if 4th quarter defense being turned up was by design (No, per Brown) should get a gold star for asking something smarter than most everyone else in the room. I often wonder. He'd never admit it even if it was. I do feel like pace factors into it and the game slowing down as the game goes on explains some of this. But still.

Also the same phenomenon is why I like our playoff odds, this team has played game 2 of these little mini-series extremely well all season. Have we lost a single game 2 in those instances? I don't think so.

 

[KainLear]

If you ask me, I think we can just replace the desk and plug in Deuce and Mo for some passionate opening segments.

But the team has played well. They just haven't played great.
