[Game] Kings @ Sixers - 2/10/16 - 4 PT, 7 ET

[Livinthedream]

Lesson to be learned by Vlade. The players actually play the game. If they don't cooperate, there is nothing a coach can do. When they say they're done with a coach, don't publically back the coach. You'll go down with the ship.

 

[parker]

Sauce!!!!!! The dagger has been inserted. Now if a coach comes out and says we need to incease our pace, I may kick him from here.

Or how about, "we played well, but just caught a team on a hot streak."
I do think the 76ers beat the Clippers pretty convincingly in the last week, but comeon.

 

[Henkel]

theres no way someone as level headed as Vlade doesnt make the decision to rid karl.

The facts are clear; he has lost the locker room and isnt the right coach for this team in any instance.

When the GM has to reiterate X's and O's like defensive intensity and focus you know its not heading in the right way - only here can that happen.

Karl was and is a goner. What we are doing now is detrimental to the franchise and its sustainability

You are talking out your butt. You have no inside knowledge and the people who do, Amick, Ham and the like have all reported this is Vlade's show.

 

[Peter_Gibbons]

I meant I can't believe it was truly Vlade's decision not to fire Karl. There is a major crap show going on and I'm inclined to think Vlade is not a part of it.

I really find it hard to believe we are being creamed by this team especially given the circumstances.

In many ways, Vivek is paying Vlade to shoulder the heat of being the sole decision maker of these types of decisions. But we all know Vlade has to partially make these decisions based on the wishes and constraints (economic) set by the owners.

 

[steelevt]

That #11 can really shoot.

Wish we would've drafted him.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Brett Brown wastes no time with that timeout, I see.

 

[Glenn]

Wish we would've drafted him.

Isn't he that McBuckets guy or something like that?

 

[ParniValjak]

Well that's really stupid and a great way to be ineffectual. When a team quits on a coach you have to fire him. This is common stuff, you can't make millionaires play hard for a coach they don't respect.

The problem is, what if he was over-ruled by his bosses? That is the scariest part in all this.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That #11 can really shoot.

His field goal percentage suggests otherwise.

 

[Glenn]

His field goal percentage suggests otherwise.

Oh.

 

[theclash4u5]

So WCS being benched was a coaching decision................

 

[Sac.1989]

You are talking out your butt. You have no inside knowledge and the people who do, Amick, Ham and the like have all reported this is Vlade's show.

the future will enlighten us. Im not here throwing paint and hoping it sticks. There are monetary aspects here which are significant and need to be taken into account. Im not the only one saying it could have been a factor in the decision.

We all know Karl has to go as per my post. Its unworkable. Vlade isnt ignorant

 

[Henkel]

The problem is, what if he was over-ruled by his bosses? That is the scariest part in all this.

The reports from Kings insiders do not support this. You can believe whatever you want, which is what conspiracy theories rely on, but indications are that Vivek is letting Vlade make theses decision. The issues with minority owners seem legit, but they don't have any real power here.

 

[Larry89]

the sixers really hustle on defense

 

[Glenn]

SCORE!

We don't really know this. This is an assumption but we have not had any confirmation that this is the case. The agreement in place between the owners might tell a different story.

 

[parker]

the sixers really hustle on defense

I'm sure they came in seeing this as a winnable game. And they are playing like it. The Kings on the other hand.....

 

[Larry89]

Rondo has played terribly tonight

 

[Glenn]

You may be right but why are people talking about minority owners as if they have something to say? It's all very confusing and I have a feeling being a part of this mess can be bad for your health.

 

[Larry89]

I admire the way Acy plays.. he really needs more playing time

 

[Chubbs]

So Cuz gets a 4th foul and the Kings TV doesn't even show a replay?

Everyone top to bottom has just given up.

 

[parker]

Rondo has played terribly tonight

He really hasn't played well in the last 8 games or so. Playing hurt? No excuse for what we have been seeing, but I think there are several guys playing at less than 70%. (Cousins, Rondo, and Gay, plus BenMc out). Still no excuse.

 

[Henkel]

We don't really know this. This is an assumption but we have not had any confirmation that this is the case. The agreement in place between the owners might tell a different story.

Do you have any reporting to support this? From what I understand in the NBA even if your share is a dollar less then the majority holder you are **** out of luck. Never heard of a minority owners having any kind of recourse in these situation outside of what they are doing, which is taking their issues to the media.

 

[Glenn]

Very funny.

 

[hrdboild]

Anyone else still think the defensive scheme isn't a problem? The Sixers had an entire half of the floor cleared by exploiting our hyperactive switching.

 

[Glenn]

I suspect there is a mechanism for dissolving the ownership group.

 

[Henkel]

You may be right but why are people talking about minority owners as if they have something to say? It's all very confusing and I have a feeling being a part of this mess can be bad for your health.

I'm confused about the minority owner situation as well and I'm just going off my previous understanding. If anyone has a answer I'd love to get some clarification.

 

[Showtime]

I've seen less carnage on CSI.

 

[parker]

Well on a positive note, at least they won the third quarter by 3.

 

[Glenn]

I've seen less carnage on CSI.

or "Bones."

 

[Merdiesel]

I really wish Vlade stayed as far away as possible from this piece of **** franchise.

Not because of the job he's done so far but for **** he's being dragged through. This is not his fault, he deserves more.

All of this all falls on Vivek. **** him for ruining this team.
Mother****** coaches his 12 year old daughters rec team and thinks he's qualified to make draft day decisions and personnel moves?! Give me a break. Take your nerdy *** back to the computer lab.
