    Can Cuz be Cuz without being overly-emotional?

    I'm surprised this isn't being talked about more than passing mentions in the game thread. I think it deserves it's own thread, since it addresses Demarcus' future ability in the NBA to be aggressive, while not losing control. First, you'd need to listen to Demarcus' post-game interview talking...

    Is Demarcus at the end of his rope in Sacramento?

    I really don't want to make this thread, but after hearing the KHTK morning show this morning (Feb 7), Demarcus has lost his last local defender/protector/advocate in the media. Carmichael Dave is officially over Demarcus' inability to control his anger and frustration. He has publicly stated...

    Yet another "Cousins time bomb?" discussion... (split from game thread)

    I'll direct you to my sig. Unfortunately, "playing tough against the tough teams" (and conversely, playing down to the worse teams) simply will not cut it this year. They HAVE to find a way to win, pronto, or they will quickly run out of time on the Cousins timebomb. (Note - this was split...

    Jim Kozimor returns to the Kings broadcast team

    http://www.csnbayarea.com/kings/jim-kozimor-returns-sacramento-part-csns-kings-broadcast-team Oh, cripes - he's baaaaaaaaaaaack! I celebrated when he was moved off of the broadcast team - his smarmy, always-positive, always-complimentary fake-ness drove me up the wall. And he'll be replacing...

    Matt Barnes wants to finish his career in his home town?

    http://www.csnbayarea.com/kings/demarcus-cousins-year-we-turn-it-around I've been a fan of Barnes re-joining the Kings for ten years now. The Kings NEED a defensive wing player, and he's the kind of junkyard dog that Boogie may want to go to war with.

    Are you OK with Grant and Jerry seeming to favor the other team and the refs over the Kings?

    I caught the Pistons game on DVR, and I'm gonna take this opportunity to try to start a discussion about our "home-team" announcers: What the hell is wrong with Grant and Jerry? Not only are they the most anti-homer announcers I know of in the NBA (they regularly gush over the competition and...

    The "Making All NBA News About DeMarcus Cousins" Thread

    I don't know where else to put this, but as a comparison star behavior, Draymond Greeen just got blasted on Reddit /NBA for being a douche who wouldn't even cough up tickets that were promised a winning Twitter fan who designed a logo for him...

    Willie blasts Karl for the first time in his career - i.e. Karl is DONE

    My guess? Tonight was the first night of the rest of the Kings future without Karl. Willie's career up to tonight has been filled with the typical aww shucks, humble, passive rookie bon-mots during interviews. I had become accustomed to him being the King player who never questions anything -...

    Who wants off this ride?

    After today's flip-flopping about firing George Karl, has anyone had enough? Does your fan following have ANY limits? Is there anything this franchise could do to cost them your fandom? Let's say that retaining Karl is a statement by the organization that they are not interested in giving...

    Should Kings org. be appealing to the NBA to protect DMC more?

    With the way Demarcus is being defended (i.e. is smacked around more than anyone I know of in the NBA), it is just a matter of time before he is injured so bad he's out for an extended period of time. I guess this is as good of place as any to ask the question ; Does anyone else think the...

    Malone says Vivek fired him? (split)

    Is Demarcus a media punching bag?

    An excellent article which highlights the absurd bias Sacramento and Cousins has had to deal with: http://cowbellkingdom.com/sunday-musings-is-demarcus-cousins-a-media-punching-bag/ I'm as sick of Cousins pouting on the court as the next guy, and have lost patience with his immaturity standing...

    Why no concussion protocol for LeBron?

    I think the most compelling part of that bizarrely-arranged article was the section on Lebron's head impact and why it wasn't subject to the concussion protocol: After listening to the Adam Silver response to Aldritch's direct question, I thought it was obvious they were covering it up. His...

    Why can't the Kings get plays like these? (split)

    Grant calls out front office on his radio show -part 2

    Oh my freaking God, how shameless is Grant, back-stepping on his comments from The crapstorm Broadcast of Dec 30th? His main points are whoppers: * This organization is run by incredibly, amazingly, over-the-top SMART PEOPLE who are leaders of their industries and we should worship them as...

    How many more games would the Kings have already won this year with IT as backup PG?

    Just a what-if, mainly for those KF's who demonized IT and magnified his deficiencies. Instead of Ramon Sessions and his $2 million, IT's <$7 million would have already bought MANY victories this season alone. Giving up such a desperate need that the Kings have/had, for <5 million a year, that...

    Conspiracy theories and a change in the wind

    I am a strong believer in sports conspiracy theories. I believe professional sports are rigged for the most part, for the betterment of the power players of the leagues (TV, owners, league offices, etc). I believe players are mostly pawns put on the court to perform their role, but superstar...

    The Onion skewered the Kings this weekend

    Weird timing, IMO: http://www.theonion.com/articles/sacramento-kings-perfectly-execute-throwballoutofb,31506/?ref=auto It would be better humor if it didn't end with a decades-old Webber crack about the timeout call at Michigan, suggesting the writer(s) only knows now-inapplicable superficial...

    How could Petrie have screwed up so massively?

    (Nothing new in this thread, just feel like venting) This team is so obviously missing: * a vet playmaker that distributes the ball, initiates/steadies the offense, doesn't look for his own offense first, isn't a liability on D, and has high bball IQ * a quality, NBA vet SF, preferably...
