    Was saddened to read this thread after being away from the site for many years. In many ways, VF21 *was* KingsFans and I also always enjoyed talking 49ers with her. She will be missed but never forgotten.

    [Game] Kings vs Blazers - Tuesday, Jan. 1 - 6:00PT/9:00ET - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

    Baffling coaching there. WCS is a clumsy player with no offensive touch nor does he add much defensively or on the boards. With him out, we had a nice rhythm going. Why then do we not only bring him back in the game but stubbornly FEATURE him down the stretch??? It's not like we're a great...

    [Game] Kings v. Rockets - Wednesday, Oct. 18 - 7 PT

    Makes way more sense that there essentially was a disagreement on foul vs. out of bounds and they reviewed to figure out who the foul was on... I was halfway thinking they'd changed the rules and I'd missed it (there have definitely been numerous plays in the past where the guy losing the ball...

    NFL thread for 2017-2018

    I'm optimistic that the 49ers may actually remain entertaining to watch this year... Also, the Seahawks are notorious slow starters, but their offense looks even worse than last year. Are the Rams the best team in the NFC West now?! ;)

    The Kevin Durant "Hot Take" Omnibus thread

    Weak sauce, KD. Your ring, should you win one, will be tainted (though I doubt you'll care) and it'll haunt you until can earn one yourself.

    Good grief. Pretty blatant.

    [Grades] Grades v. Hornets 1/25/2016

    Ouch. Clearly figuring out how to play perimeter defense will be key to this team turning the corner. Brutal loss tonight against an undermanned opponent (the latter part is why I can't be excited about the Kings fighting back as much as I'd like to). Can always hope we pull it out tomorrow...

    [Game] Kings v. Hawks - 1/21/16 - 7 PT, 10 ET

    From Twitter the ball touched Millsap last (still on his fingers). I really think this happens a lot of the time, actually... it's just that the refs don't review such plays until the end of the game.

    Melo fouled on last play of Knicks 2 pt. loss to Kings

    Still doesn't make up for the Memphis atrocity! (or the other atrocity which shall not be named). League has a looooong way to go to make it right.

    Rondo suspension

    I honestly feel the judgement being hurled at Rondo over this is far worse than the assumed meaning being placed on what he said. Dude isn't a villain. He said something offensive in the heat of the moment. Give him his lumps and move on. Kelly Dwyer is the reason I stopped reading Ball...

    Rondo suspension

    I see it as, yeah, the word was directed at an individual, but since you're saying it's 'insulting' to be compared to the group the word represents, you're denigrating the entire group as a result. Or something like that. While what Rondo did was stupid and I have no issue with the suspension...

    Malone fired

    I really hope this is it.

    Malone fired

    Feels like a couple of my nerd buddies from high school hit it rich and bought a sports team to play around with. The scary part is they think they know basketball but they really don't. But you can't convince 'em otherwise. Just so discouraging!

    Aaron Gray to Pistons

    How does this move affect our Vegas odds for winning the NBA Championship this year?
