    [Grades] Kings v. Nets 3/01/17

    kingjatt - is there any video somewhere of the mics picking him up saying that? That'd be interesting to see.... Slim Citrus - totally agreed on your points, especially how Vivek's Dubs obsession is damaging. Great Avengers 2 reference, too. andjel - I am with you. I don't need a contender to...

    [Game] Kings v. Nets - 3/1/17 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

    I re-listened to that segment three times, and got a totally different understanding of what was being said. Koz was attacking the dude asking the meandering, leading question, NOT JOERGER. Kayte said repeatedly "I'm gonna jump in front of that question" (meaning, she's going to defend coach...

    [Grades] Kings v. Nets 3/01/17

    Actually, the Kings have a much stronger SG corps than they did before they traded Demarcus & Omri (but Omri had been out basically the whole season, so there's zero difference in recent games). Which means, the Kings added Tyreke Evans (who this board has slobbered over for years, wishing they...

    The Kings Future Might Be Brighter than One Thinks

    You think you can just arbitrarily label someone a troll whenever you like? Here - I'll reword my post: *I believe it is a matter of public record that Grant Napear influences the public narrative about the Kings and their players via his impact on the Kings' customer base, through his...

    The Kings Future Might Be Brighter than One Thinks

    That's not the way it works (or worked) - don't be willfully ignorant to suggest that. Anyone with eyes and ears can see and hear the way Grant has framed the local and national perspective on Demarcus. He is a guest host on (the largest?) Nationally-syndicated sports talk show (Jim Rome), and...

    The Legacy of Demarcus Cousins as a King ?

    Well, you're talking legacy, and I presume you're referring to Demarcus' public legacy, so you have to understand that it's not us that will define that - it's Grant Napear that does. Regardless of what happens in Boogie's career in NO or elsewhere, there is no way that Grant will allow...

    KHTK

    I don't think it takes anyone in the Kings FO to approve to have Grant spewing vitriol unchecked: Napear does that as an automatic. Hell, after his power play worked in getting Demarcus tossed from Sac unceremoniously, and now that the Kings are aided by anyone throwing dirt on Boogie, he's a...

    The Kings Future Might Be Brighter than One Thinks

    Seth was not a starting NBA PG when he was here. Remember the later games when teams actually scouted him, and he was horribly ineffective? He showed he wasn't a quality starter with us. And I agree that Napear has been a propagandist for many years now - about 6.

    [Game] Kings v. Nets - 3/1/17 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

    Yep - exactly why I focus on whether the refs allow them to play Handsy Defense or not. Go watch the 1st quarter, and see which team is allowed to reach in and create steals more - that's usually the team that will win that game IME.

    Vlade will step down if Kings are not better off in 2 years!

    kingsboi, I just took your post as a launching point - I didn't mean to appear to be attacking you by happening to quote your post. And yes, I believe that once the Kings FO got out of their own damn way and Boogie & Co. got the Kings to the playoffs this year despite everything Vivek has done...

    Oldest son is 16 now - he attended that game as well and still has the bobblehead (younger son was too young and can't get multiple tickets). Both of them felt the same re: IT and know all the players and most of the rest of the NBA due to a phone app they collect players on. They simply can;t...

    Vlade will step down if Kings are not better off in 2 years!

    WT actual F?!? I am sick to death of this narrative, that the Kings tried for years to put talent around Boogie and make a run for the playoffs. It's an out-right LIE, proven false by history. For years, the FO deliberately tanked to get draft picks. Then, all of TWO YEARS AGO, they finally...

    The Kings Future Might Be Brighter than One Thinks

    Don't move the goalposts. I said: Tyreke is done as an impact player on a playoff team. That ship has sailed. Rudy is done as a starter on a competitive team for the foreseeable future, and likely his entire career. Ty is a backup on any serious team. Same with Kosta, Garret, and Darren...

    To tank or not to tank (split from game thread)

    I don't understand the question. Whether fans want them to tank or not, they are, and they will. Anyone who said "Boogie hasn't won enough when he was here - never more than ~30 wins rarh rarh rarh!" simply cannot turn around and say they want this roster to win. There is not one NBA-quality...

    No sympathy for impatient weak-willed casual Kings fans finally looking around at the bare cupboards and saying. "Hey! We've got nothing here! Why are we so bad? I thought spunky good-natured youths would be better to watch than Nasty Boogie." These morons who bought into Napear's slander and...

    The Kings Future Might Be Brighter than One Thinks

    The entire concept of this thread is absurdly premature. These players haven't proven anything. At this moment in time, based on their careers so far, there is not one NBA quality starting player on the entire roster. How do you go from that, to expecting playoffs in the near future...?

    Yeah, it's such a crazy theory that the Warriors are allowed to play a more aggressive, reaching style of defense that bats/steals more balls away than most teams.... :rolleyes: Next thing you know, the loony bin'll be after me for believing that they are also allowed to get away with an...
