Put me on record as officially saying this:
I don't want Bogdan on this team anymore.

You can hear the pain in Dougs voice. I don't get it. You can't survive playing a sag defense. The Warriors got away with it because they combined it with switching screens and basically cheating in the paint. These players aren't not playing pressure defense because they don't want to, it's clearly the plan. Team defense can't be played like this in the modern NBA. Even Joergers plan of attempting to go over screens was better than zoning off.

What’s so disheartening, other than the fact they look so awful after so much promise, is that I have ZERO confidence Walton is the guy to right the ship. I’ve watched a lot of bad Kings basketball since they arrived here, but this might be the most deflated I’ve felt watching them. Really thought they had turned the corner and were on to big things

Im rooting for the Hornets to pile it on right now. Needs to get worse so it can get better.

Fox= Next Kenny Smith. I look forward to watching him game manage his way to a couple rings for the Heat, or some other nonsense team, in about 6 years.

I wasn't there until tonight. He had a decent stretch when in but that Dedmon sub was such a panic move. It was the equivalent to something you'd see out of one of the Kings interim coaches of years past.

Well there is one positive, the Warriors are getting absolutely blown out by the Suns.

I think we need to be careful before we are critical of the players here saying we "dont want them on the team anymore". We saw them last year and what they can do. Getting rid of any of the players based off these 5 games is a knee jerk. Its up to the coaches to put them in a position to succeed and they aren't. Those are the jobs that should be on the line. There is NO system

Wouldn’t ditch them for another team. Honestly, basketball has kinda been pretty mediocre for me the last 7-8 years so I may just lose all interest in general.

They definitely won't make the playoffs this year. That's a no-brainier. We aren't even close to being a playoff team....thank god I'm getting rid of Comcast TV this year....Once the Kings get good again, I'll just find the games free online Via Reddit.........

It’s a player’s league though.

In all honesty, I don’t think I ever could either (regardless of not living in Sac for the last 21 years). I probably would just lose interest as I have started to with baseball.

The talent level was never as great as it was and Joseph, Ariza, and Dedmon were mistakes. We got older n slower. Outside of Arriza, these guys were system players, who inflated their value in those systems. Aliza is on his last legs.

This is on the coach. He's not pushing full court defense, or going inside on O. This is basic stuff when you play a team like the Hornets and you need to compensate for bad shooting.
