    2010-11 Draft position watch

    #1. Sac 4-15 .211 #2. LAC 5-17 .227 #3. Minn. 5-16 .238 #4. NJ 6-15 .286 #5. Wash. 6-13 .316 The Washington game tomorrow is pivotal. Win it, and we drop into the #3 slot. Lose it, and we tie 1958 for the worst start to a season in franchise history. Feel free to update this thread, I...

    ESPN: Is Phil Jackson actually an evil Sith lord?

    Interesting look at Jackson's career as a whiner, and how whining worked out for him. Full article here: http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/story?page=hruby/100518_phil_jackson_officiating&sportCat=nba

    Mock Draft consensus watch

    As the draft gets closer, I like to see what the consensus is, at least among the recently updated predictions. These won't mean too much yet, since they can't think about team needs and so on without knowing the draft order, and also because any moron can post a mock draft, and many do. Just...

    Jimmy "The Sheep": Donaghy was just one of 13

    More fun PR for the league. http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272629225.shtml http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/20091125_Ex-NBA_ref__picked_winners___says_ex-gambler.html (and many other articles)

    2009-10 Kings draft position thread

    Now that we're far enough into the season for there to be a bottom 1/8 of the NBA, and now that we're in it, it seemed like a suitable time to start this thread. I don't expect to be updating it very often myself, so feel free to chip in. Current ranking for picks 1-9 1-4. Sacramento, LAC...

    Stats, after 3 preseason games

    You never see this kind of thing, sites apparently can't be bothered to let their scripts run on games that don't officially count. I'm having to do it all manually, so I'm skipping players who are out injured, who haven't played a pivotal role in any games, or who are not expected to play a...

    The case of the missing tree.

    A couple of years or so back, Piksi noted that our D would be a lot better if we just took a tree, put a Kings jersey on it, and left it somewhere around the paint. Aside from a few games when Muss or Muss Jr. decided to play Justin Williams, we haven't really had anything like that in several...

    Kings-Timberwolves game discussion for April 15, 2009

    Yay! We're winning and it doesn't bother me in the slightest! :D

    and with the #31 pick in the 2009 NBA draft, the Kings select...

    I was just thinking, we don't know where we'll wind up in the lottery, we don't even know for sure where Houston's pick will end up, but we DO know that we get the 31st pick. This will be a far cry from Geoff's usual mid-late 2nd round pick, which he doesn't seem to put any real research into...

    Interesting Mikki Moore quote

    Emphasis added. http://www.milforddailynews.com/sports/pros_and_colleges/x1930683072/Courtside-View-Moore-adjusts-to-Cs Now, this may not be shocking terminology in Boston, where one of their own players said that the Celtics were tanking a few years back, but I hadn't heard it said of the...

    Draft position thread

    So I'm starting it early this year, what else is there to do? Current standing: 6th, due to some nefarious and unexpected lins. How, oh HOW, could Memphis have lost to OKC? &@^*#&@!!! Note that this year we are again seeing a big split forming between the have and have-not teams, but this...

    An encouraging article on rebuilding

    Kind of rare to see a reasonably well researched article on a topic like this. I found it interesting. http://newsok.com/nine-of-16-playoff-teams-turned-fortunes-in-three-seasons-or-less/article/3235565/?tm=1209258231

    Kings in the news: is this funny, or what?

    I was just going through the latest mentions of the Kings on the Internet, and came across this opening paragraph. I felt it was a wonderful piece of inadvertent comedy, but others may appreciate it for other reasons. [/FONT] http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=8332

    Rebuild around Ron?

    This quote from the last Theus interview set me to thinking... asked about Artest's long-term role with the team, he said the following: "That is more of a franchise decision and a directional decision. And until I sit down with Geoff and those guys and really discuss everything, I really...

    Rebuild: intentionally on hold?

    Something in another thread just reminded me of a frightening thought I had the other day. Many have attempted to understand our failure to rebuild three years ago, or two years ago, or last year, or this year. Geoff's contract collection leaves us pretty messed up until 2010, and signing...

    Height, weight, wingspan and more... (split)

    Just to get this out of the way once and for all (heh, sure), here are Shelden's physical stats, along with an assortment of other familiar bigs, good, bad, and in between, from about the same time. Player--------------height barefoot--weight--wingspan--reach--max vert jump--combine rank...

    Joakim Noah (split from Bibby-Artest thread)

    Noah's attitude problems in Chicago have been severe enough that there's been talk in the press that the Bulls might like to trade him for Hawes, straight across. First suspended by the coach for talking back and showing up late all the time, then suspended another game by unanimous vote of his...

    Basketball "enforcers" -- do you want one?

    If we acquired a player like Bowen, Fortson, Horry or Najera, what would your reaction be? (You can watch a little Bowen while you think about it.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFvk4qHkT10
