A cursory glance at @carmichaeldave's Twitter seems to indicate that his attitude towards Twitter is, "You know when I'm joking on Twitter by the fact that I'm posting it on Twitter."
Which I would say that the Kings have sustained a good record without Gay so our team wasn't necessarily in the s****er when he was out (unlike when Gasol was out with the Grizzlies). Of course one can argue that we would have won even more games with Gay, but that's a risky bet to make.
I know, I know... I took the comment seriously again. Just a curious joke to make on twitter, but to each their own!
Winning 50 games. Yeah, not going to happen. However, I don't think he would be surprised if their second half of the season is better than the first half, especially given the schedule.You could also point out that when he took over in Memphis, the team's core was already intact and knew all the offensive and defensive schemes.
Dave was just putting out an interesting factoid to create conversation. His follow up tweets indicated that he would be surprised if the Kings won 50 games.

We're going to see what this team is truly made of.The month of January for us is one of the most brutal schedules I've ever seen for any team
Normally people don't have to follow everything they say with "I am dead serious." What an annoying and inefficient world that would be...
If you're going to say something on the internet and not throw a "wink" or a "JK" in there, it's mostly going to be taken as a serious statement. Nothing in his original tweet made it seem like he was trying to be funny. I think you're the one that may be misinterpreting it as a joke.
@carmichaeldave , can you clear thus up?
In a way that is a good thing. Team is at a crossroads, we need to see if this team has it in them to make a run for 8th or if we should accelerate moves. January will test this team.The month of January for us is one of the most brutal schedules I've ever seen for any team
Call off the season. We already know how we will finish. If the other teams want to play, That's OK.I thought this would be the most appropriate thread to post this in-
Carmichael Dave tweet:
"In his 1st year as the coach in Memphis, Dave Joerger was 15-19 thru 34 games.
In his 1st year w/ Kings he is 15-19.
Griz finished 50-32"
Thanks!Here you go:

Seriously. It's amazing to me the amount of people that think I think this is what the Kings will do. It's just an interesting stat people.

Sorry to say but the Kings are not going to the playoffs this year. Portland is better at every position except center and Plumlee is no scrub. They'll finish at least 5 games ahead of us. Does anyone really think a team with Garrett Temple as their second best player can actually make the playoffs?
If we go 26-22 the rest of the way to end the season at .500, I will be very impressed and encouraged by this team.
Btw, the schedule usually does look brutal when you are not very good.
That depends... are the other teams going to stop losing, too?how many more losses until the team is back in the top 10 lottery selection?
