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

[Krunker]

Cody Williams stepping up

 

[sactowndog]

The Kings only have 8 active players and the only other guy who plays Deebo’s position is McBuckets.

The Spurs played Sochan at point when they were tanking. It’s not hard for competent orgs.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

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

I am personally complaining that DeRozan is getting all the touches/taking all the shots. That shouldn't be the case in a "tanking" season, even if the Kings were down to five players.

 

[BuddyBuckets]

do you recognize any of these jazz names?

 

[Tetsujin]

do you recognize any of these jazz names?

Cody Williams literally was a lotto pick last season. Sensabaugh was going to be a lotto pick until his leg scans came back looking like beef jerky.

 

[Krunker]

do you recognize any of these jazz names?

Outside of Williams and Sensabaugh and Collier, nope

 

[Sam0ah]

So frustrating....

 

[BuddyBuckets]

40 piece for demar woooohooo! great way to develop the youth! pcik #8 here we come!

 

[SacTownKid]

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.

But again, he's either being directed in some fashion as those guys are or there's a disconnect. No positives out of this and no real way to explain it. If he's coaching for himself then this speaks to a much higher issue with this new FO.

 

[Tetsujin]

Also Tschebwe was a Kentucky legend.

 

[Sam0ah]

I am for winning games, but not like this with Deebo shooting all the shots.

 

[sactowndog]

Kings well on track for the 5th seed and the 7th or 8th pick because the org is too incompetent to even be able to lose correctly.

 

[fansinceday1]

I think this is entertaining as all get go seeing how far the kings can play themselves out of the lottery.

I think Christie is coaching himself into a pretty nice extension!

And again, I believe that he's defying his "directive," for reasons I've already stated.

The win is what it is. THIS is the most insane stuff we've ever seen this franchise do. For real. We're rebuilding! Then have DeMar or Russ being the focal point night to night. That last 3 in iso to end it was emblematic of the past, present, and future in all likelihood unfortunately.

Light the Beam!

There is a reason that this franchise is historically bad.

 

[BuddyBuckets]

Hell ya! 2 games back of utah! Still have 2 vs Nets and some easy pelicans/clippers games! You know im starting to think if Keegan never got hurt wed be a play in team! Run this crap back guys! 35 wins next year! !!

 

[SacTownKid]

OK. then they have no power to lead or direct. Again, not good. Wouldn't be a shocker but certainly a sign that the same 'ol wheel is turning and it's the same person behind it once again. And we know who that would have to be. Someone clamouring for nightly entertainment from his courtside seat.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That's really all I'm saying: if Raynaud and Clifford combine for 45 attempts, and DeRozan has 9, and the Kings still win, I'm good.

 

[ockingsfan]

I'm not so sure that Demar won't be on the Kings next season.

I could see them possibly picking up his option because he is still playing at a high level.

I don't think the Hunter trade was all that bad, but when Perry went with that one the writing was on the wall. They're trying to compete next season. This isn't a rebuild. Perry couldn't fetch anything for his vets so he's going to ride it out just watch. I get the uneasy feeling that we're more likely to see more picks and youth moved for win now pieces than the reverse. Right now, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Kings not even be making a first round selection on draft night and if they do, it will be for another team.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

OK. then they have no power to lead or direct.

It could be that. It could also be that they are a) unwilling to promise Christie that he'll get to keep his job if he "plays ball," and b) too cheap to replace him mid-season.

I thought Scott Perry was the mastermind and puppettering Vivek.

What happened to that?

His plan is to try to play "spoiler". Go figure

Hell yeah play-in or bust.

 

[The_Jamal]

Look, wins are fine if they're done "correctly"

Meaning the ball is in Hayes/Nique/Max/Dylan's hands.

 

[Krunker]

I think Demar has 10 million guaranteed out of 25 million next season so he'll likely be back unless we trade or buy him out

At what point is 1 or 2 too many, no longer "fine"?
