Not just statistical evidence, ADVANCED statistical evidence. ALL BOW DOWN TO STATMASTER. WE ARE NOT WORTHY!
My stats are gonna do a number on yours!
Now I'm armed and ready - I want a cerveza. And a beach. There's no beach here in the Rockies.

I agree with this and have for a while now. I don't know if you want my seal of approval here though lol. On this subject I am somewhat a bad guy.
Anyhow, I am not going to base anything on two games, but I will say that the offense has a good flow with him off the floor..
Someone said this above.. That sending MT to the bench wouldn't be a demotion.. Would you do the same to Reke? Send him to the bench but give him about the same amount of minutes that he has now?
Reason I ask is because what if Reke comes into the game when the energy is up and the team is passing the ball all over the place? Could it be contagious? Could Reke come in and continue the passing efforts, or would the ball stop moving once he came in? I think it would be interesting to find out. As it stands now the ball doesn't move very well with Reke in there.. We get behind and cannot dig ourselves out because of the lack of energy. Well if Reke comes off the bench we get that energy level high before he comes in and maybe Reke feeds off of it. Who knows..
Recall the most recent Pistons game and tell me that Tyreke wasn't one of the few who started with energy. He has not been the ball stopper people keep making him out to be in the last month or so, nor is he some lazy guy who always comes out flat.
No, you backed up your assertions with your interpretation of specific statistics chosen to bolster your point. But if it helps you sleep at night to think you won, here you go...

To paraphrase Matthew Broderick, sometimes the only way to win is to quit playing.
Is that Broderick or Sun Tzu?

Why do I feel the need to post this?
Maybe I feel partly responsible.
(BTW, I'm still mad about not having a beach and a cerveza.)
I have the beach, and the cervesa's. Your more than welcome. Cruzdude was here a couple of days ago.

Is there a difference?

Where did I say I "won" an internet argument? I'd love to hear your reasoning, but i'l let it go since you're the Boss around here. I do actually like posting on this forum since it's hard to find a strong dedicated Kings forum. I however, do not agree with the elitist attitude of some posters around here feel they have against people with opposing opinions against the norm. At the end of the day, we all want the same thing: For the Kings to be a winning team again!
Cheers!
The exact quote was from War Games (Joshua the computer actually and not Broderick):
This, however, is from Sun Tzu:

Just for you...
It was left over from a recent image search.
VF -- That you incorporated not one but TWO gorgeous blue ribbons with such deft application in the same thread has earned you a lifetime of my respect. That makes two of us (that I know of) brought to tears by this thread.

Gotta say... this has been a hell of a thread. I'd like to congratulate everybody involved. Nice work people. This is how it's done.

From other posts, it sounds like Tyreke is somewhat unhappy with his role as a 3, that he doesn't have the ball as much in his hands. I just don't see him coming off the bench. Too tough on the ego. Also, I think the "equal opportunity" system that Smart has is meant in part to appease Tyreke, as well as others. That's why we do see him in the role of pg sometimes. He's trying to make him as happy as possible in a system that isn't centered around Tyreke. So I doubt very much that he would go out of his way to pee him off by not starting him. I do think the "role" issue has merit, though. One way or another, the roles will get defined.
Random thoughts after two wins and Monday night's Warrior game where Chris Mullin's jersey was retired. Great to hear. Past due but mainly because he served as GM and we all know that nobody loves a GM. Chris was a great one, fun to watch even as a Kings fan. I didn't see much of Run TMC but I saw lots of Richmond and Hardaway and Mullin. Great times.

That's why in the other thread I wanted to keep things the way they were. I wouldn't want to be the guy to tell Thornton that he's coming off the bench after averaging 20+ppg since he's started at PG with IT at PG. I don't think any of the starters deserve to be relegated to the bench, but I think the ball needs to move better when they are all out there at the same time.

Or perhaps he wasn't a Warriors fan. I never saw Run TMC either.

well, i know he was watching as far back as Clifford Ray, and I have always interpreted his username as being age related so...maybe just not in Warriros home area at the time?
Pretty simple. I only saw Run TMC several times when they played together at Arco. But I saw Richmond's whole career with the Kings. Years of Mullins on visits to Sacto. Same with Hardaway. Just didn't see as much of Run TMC as I would have liked.
Nope. True because from '85-86 to '91 is a lot shorter period than '91 until now. You can do the math. My first NBA game seen live by me was the first week of the Kings' first season. A season ticket holder ever since. Mullins was fun to watch play. I liked him and thought it was great that the Warriors honored him. Too bad about the owner boos. Bad taste.
Right on all counts. I lived in Sacramento always. In '74-'75 and before I was a radio fan to the Warriors. I had the good fortune to follow their surprise season from start to finish. One of the most satisfying fan years of my life.
