SA = San Antonio TX = Texas. Still an ugly acronym, in my opinion.

Brown is a perfect example of a coach that evolves his coaching as the league changes rather than remaining stagnant and stuck in his ways, I don't think otherwise he would be hired

yeah good game. Sometimes I wonder if our backcourt is better with Mitchell in it as he brings a point defensive presence and sets a defensive tone that neither Fox or Huerter can bring.
Not good news for TD fans but good news for the Kings, I think.

My thought exactly. He was known for his defensive schemes and hired largely on that account. And here he has the #1 offense in the NBA.

yeah I don't envision Davion suddenly becoming a Kyle Lowry but you never know. Situations and roles are important

5 straight double figure scoring games off the bench for Lyles
Kings are 14-6 when Metu plays 10 or more minutes…that doesn’t include the last 2 wins vs HOU where he played slightly under 10 minutes
That’s not trying to overstate his importance but simply noting that the Lyles and Metu frontcourt rotation is the Kings best and proven option and should be stuck with until the Kings find upgrades via trade or free agency.
HB is killing it.
Edit:Kings are actually 14-8 under the Metu criteria. I missed a couple October losses.

I’ll take that problem any day
As long as he plays well after he earns a hearty pay day, I do believe that teams above the cap have a competitive advantage if the owner doesn't mind paying the luxury tax and they aren't stuck with a lot of players on bad contracts.
Even then, we'll probably be above the cap by the time Holmes's deal is up and if he's still here, we can move him to a team desperate for an expiring for a player who hopefully has some value.
My biggest question is when this team is a playoff team will Vivek and the other owners be ok with ponying up the tax bill if that's what it comes to.

It's a metaphor for the fact that it's going to take dropping a building on him for the Kings to be free of Kenny Thomas.
I just see so much potential in him but it hasn’t materialized up to this point. Great defense, can get to the basket, underrated athlete. If he can get his outside shot figured out he could potentially be Fox’s backcourt mate closing out games. Lack of playing time and playing in 3 minute spurts really hurts his offense IMO.

I think so, Vivek has a lot of egg on his face due his hubris and incompetence. He’ll do just about anything to be successful, this is a man that is not used to failure.

considering that the majority of the contenders have been over the luxury bill, it may be a necessity and Vivek hasn't been stingy in spending. Albeit, he's made a lot of spending errors so now he needs a return in those failed investments.
His d is very soft in the first half, gets better in the second.I guess the foul calls every time he tries to challenge someone makes him very reluctant
Yup. Crap. In fact, it was when Metu (and a couple other bench guys) came in that the D tightened up and the Kings created some distance.
Metu showing nice awareness around the basket, DS is rubbing off on him
Off topic: Not sure why K-9 has one, but my supervisor has one of those hardhats. He designed the foundations for the Golden 1 Center (I didn't start working there until after that project was complete, unfortunately). The design team leads all got one, I think.
Man, playoff games are going to be amazing when droves of Kings fans show up and call to light the beam in someone else's house.
