[Game] Kings vs. Jazz 15 MAR 2026, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Sam0ah]

Kings currently playing three forwards, Max, and a dude who wasn’t even in the league two weeks ago.

Yeah, but there is only one team playing a 6 time all star and completely leaning on him.

 

[White_Chocolate]

Y'all get that Tetsu was being facetious, right?

I guess I’m too tired. Jazz, wizards and pacers just have another level of bad players on their team that we simply don’t. Probably because we kept veterans like Derozan, Westbrook, and precious on this team. Hope it doesn’t bite us. I know the lottery is a crap shoot but I would sure love for one of the potential game changers this June. Time will tell

 

[Caccia]

Not one of Plowden's better nights. He is now 2-13 and missed nine of ten three-pointers. As it is, he is only shooting 41% for the year.

 

[SacTownKid]

And one other thing: people keep bringing up that the Kings only have eight players available. True though that may be, that's no excuse for DeRozan to lead the team in field goals attempts.

The Kings only having 8 guys available is unfortunate. DeMar taking all the shots is a decision.

Christie is giving the keys to the vets come hell or high water. No vision, no patience, no future doing this. We know. How come they don't? Are they so far inside a bubble or just stupid?

All that tells me is that he ought to be 2-21. At least half of DeRozan's attempts should have gone to #29.

 

[Tetsujin]

And Nique fouls out so the Kings are down to 7 guys.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Clifford having to learn the hard lessons in the NBA tonight

This is a great needed stepping stone for the team. Next season, watch out!!!

I will continue to believe that Christie would sit DeRozan and Westbrook if he had job security, until proven otherwise. Like I intimated last night, if they turn around and fire Christie on April 13th, what should he care whether the Kings win the lottery or not?

 

[Caccia]

If you all are worried about getting a good pick come June, Caleb Wilson may slide down the draft board since he is out for the rest of the season and will be unable to feature his game during the NCAA tournament.

The Tar Heels sure could have used him this week.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

And Nique fouls out so the Kings are down to 7 guys.

Too bad there's not enough time left for the Kings to enter that technical situation.

 

[Tetsujin]

Killian signed a full-time contract and immediately decided to shoot light outs and pass like Tyrese.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I love Plowden’s tenacity

 

[Sluggah]

Okay, we just need a few more guys to foul out then we lose by forfeit

That dude won't slide very far. The tape is too good.

 

[White_Chocolate]

If somehow Hayes turns out to be something I wouldn’t hate that

 

[Caccia]

The Kings are now down to 7 players. Good grief. And folks are complaining that DeRozan is on the court? You prefer a clown show?

 

[White_Chocolate]

This is the way

Well, none of them should care, and the players certainly don't, but this would lend itself to the idea that either the FO is way too arrogant, stupid, or that they aren't on the same page. Christie is the king of say one thing do another. Says they're going to start developing guys and then has Russ and DeMar iso all night long. Wins or losses, that's craziness. This is pretty much a consistent trait in all Vivek hires, say one thing do another.

It's a shame links aren't working, but here's a video of Prince shaming everyone on stage at the Rock and Roll Induction for, I think George Harrison.

Voted Prince for exactly that performance. He was inducted and played a pretty killer set at the start of the show. He asked if he could sit in on the Harrison segment. Everyone was kind of like whatever, George didn't know him, these are his friends, but Dhani Harrison said let's do it. He went to the rehearsal and the other dude (Marc Mann, for the record, who is Jeff Lynne's guy and has also played with Oingo Boingo) played a note perfect Clapton version of the solo so Prince didn't even bother coming in. So nobody had any frickin clue what he was about to do.

There's actually a newer "director's cut" that I think better shows a) how gobsmacked the other musicians were and b) how sneaky of a devil Prince was basically out of the spotlight the whole time until he just destroys everyone.

ZZ Top were also inducted that night. Billy Gibbons has a story about meeting Prince in NY somewhere around then that is pretty crazy too, Dan Rather interview I think. Basically a crap ton of folk that slept on him were woken up that night.

 

[SLAB]

I’m going to bask in the glory of the 10th pick, baby!

This is a clown show

 

[LoungeLizard]

It’s not over yet…we can still Lín this thing.

 

[Sluggah]

Okay Utah

And maybe Dybantsa will follow through on his threat to return to college and we'll get two of this year's top picks lol

 

[LoungeLizard]

How much you wanna bet we see a Demar iso coming out of this time out?

 

[Caccia]

This is a clown show.

Kings are shooting 51%. That's pretty good in my book, regardless of who is on the other team.

 

[SacTownKid]

This is a clown show

And people still don't realize that THIS is part of the exact reason the Kings have been floating out to sea for 20 plus seasons. They never have any sort of plan other than hitting for the middle at best. No patience. No young player is learning from watching DeMar DeRozan stomp all over fringe NBA'ers.

 

[Tetsujin]

Plowden now one foul away from fouling out lmfao

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

He should "care" in the sense that, if he and the organization were on the same page, I believe that he would be willing to reduce minutes and/or shots for the veterans, and run more of the offense through the young players. Just like Carlisle probably doesn't "care" whether the Pacers win the lottery, but he's willing to flush a year of his coaching record down the toilet because he doesn't have to worry about looking for another job next season because he finishes in last place. Since Christie has no such security, he's desperate to win every game he can, even if it's only in the hopes of landing another assistant's job.
