WE'RE STREAKING

- Start date
I want to know: Can we get a split in New Orleans, and then beat Minny? A 5-1 road trip with 2-0 in the IST would be so much more than I could have asked for coming into the stretch.
Shout out to all the people who had the extra spicy takes when the Kings were 2-4. Y'all come back now, y'hear?
Why can't we win all 6?
That's the spirit!
A little adversity at the start of the season isn't such a bad thing, just ask the 2022-23 NBA Champion Utah Jazz.
Minny is the toughest game of the trip probably, I don't want to accept a loss against the Pelicans even if one game is on the dreaded second night of a back to back.
^^^ Second night of a back-to-back, in a party city.

It may not apply, but last season, the Kings often were winning on the second night of a back-to-back.

Still here. The two losses in Houston were dreadful.
Standin' on bidness. I respect it.

How huge does that Blazers win look now?
I think the OKC game will go down as a turning point if the team achieves something special this year.

Color me greedy, too! I think they can win all 6.
Focus hard and play hard tomorrow night, get that ‘W’ then get some rest without traveling to get the next one too.

Or us last year.
Pardon me if you did get the joke, but I was riffing on their 10-3 start that had Hardy anointed coach of the year before Mazzulla ran away with it.

I'm here. Feel like it's incomplete tho to call out people for having takes when thou dost seem to only have snark and not actual takes hmmm
Why do I need to have a take? Not everyone happens to agree that exchanging takes is the point of a message board. Just because you decide to give takes doesn't mean I have to give you one back. And, if I do, it doesn't mean I have to do it about the Kings.
And really, why should I? Give you takes about the Kings for what? So we can debate them? Man, I don't come here to debate. I come here to fellowship and participate in the community that I helped build, with the people who have been my online "family" for over twenty years. It's the reason why I didn't leave when I stopped rooting for the Kings. But most days, snark and bad memes is the best you're gonna get out of me: I'm not as conflict-averse as VF21 was, and I like to quibble over minutia sometimes (what kind of doryphore would I be if I didn't?) but I don't generally log onto the internet to argue with people. That's not my scene, and I consider it a suboptimal use of my time.

No, sorry, I didn't go look up their record last year. I just assumed they started slow based on your comment. That loud whooshing sound you heard was your joke going over my head.Pardon me if you did get the joke, but I was riffing on their 10-3 start that had Hardy anointed coach of the year before Mazzulla ran away with it.

The stinker he put up against the Magic dropped him off the list.

I used to work with this guy. We all called him a loud mouth. Anyways, he used to talk Hella smack every time the Kings lost. One day I asked him, well who is your team? His response? Oh, I just like basketball, I dont have a team.
So then he was just talking crap because it was fun for him, but he also shielded himself against anybody talking back because he "had no real interest in aligning himself with any team". Instantly lost all respect and credibility.
Edit: Now before you come on here saying I'm calling you put for not having credibility or respect as a "doryphore", or an annoying person with an opinion that is uncommon or unpopular, or even downright wrong, I would wager to point out that you're just a pedantic blowhard.

I don't recall Slim talking crap about the Kings, even when most of us fans were so this anecdote feels a little apropos of nothing. Some of us like to keep the energy positive even after a brutal loss and some would rather vent and/or commiserate. There should be room for us to disagree without making it personal. And there's nothing wrong with being a fan of the game but not any particular team. For instance, I won't ever root for another MLB team again after every one of those butthead owners voted to move my team. I still like the game of baseball.

All of that is fine. But calling people out for having a take on the team when you yourself don't, as to make those people who had a take feel stupid, is just bad Fandom to me. You don't have a take, you don't root for the team, don't make people who do feel bad for doing so. And don't call them out for it either. That's just picking a fight when you have no horse in the race
