Came home to find us down...43 points. To Atlanta. Glad I didn't watch this. If you did, I guess you can throw in some grades.

Bogdanovic is a role player. He ain't a part of this team's future. Honestly, I like Jackson and Malachi more because while they also project as a role player, they're younger with way less professional experience so they still can be molded into something with more upside.

Bogdanovic just bores me. Not as much as ZBo and Hill, but yeah.

I said I wouldn't mind a loss to Atlanta, and I stand by that!

Quite the epic blowout though. Glad I didn't bother with watching the 2nd half.

Vlade was clearly going full Hinkie post Cuz. I knew before the season started that this was how the year was going to go. I may just be checking boxscores from here on out.

Lets all just pray that the Vlade/Vivek braintrust doesn't trade our pick for a rental of Paul George or Melo.

Probably the worst Kings game of this era, and ordinarily it would spell coaching doom and that the coach is losing the locker room, but Joerger is given a lot of leash and that now somewhat burdensome extension. Glad I am out of the country and just saw the scoreboard and forum thoughts. Sooner or later worry about Fox will set in

Handing out those extensions when nothing has been accomplished is just another dagger in the long list of Kings blunders of the last decade plus.

I think Bogdan is highly overrated and overhyped simply because the Serbia crowd, but I don't see why a role player can't be part of the teams future? He will have a reliable shot it appears.

I guess Randolph did a couple of things right too, but who really cares?
Well our entire offense is focused around him so I hope so.. totally see where Dave is going with this though.. Get Zbo as comfortable as possible so when the young guys catch up we will have a contender with Zbo as our all star!

Tonight's game can't even be called an embarrassment. It was far worse than that. Rebuild or not, there's just no excuse for a performance like it -- especially when they've been pretty bad in most of the other 13 games they've played thus far. There are other young teams in the NBA similar to the Kings that have at least shown some flashes of very good play. Even the games the Kings have won, it was more the opposition just stinking it up worse. The Philly game might be considered the only exception, but that was certainly the case against OKC.

The main problem is, that Vlade didnt go full Hinkie at all. Hinkie was very good in selling his cap space to teams desperate for a change. Vlade just used it on vets, because he wanted to push his "Culture matters" Agenda.
Hinkies main fault was, that he was so open about the process, obviously never even thinking about the League stepping in to save its brand.

The 76ers played hard, even during the ugliest years of the process. Thats mainly on the coaching staff, but also on Hinkie, because he understood, that he needed to bring in Players, who had something left to prove.

Worst effort by a Kings team since they moved here. Embarrassing. I'm a fan, but I'm not too proud of it right now. This is rock bottom for the franchise. I hope they can go up from here.
