[Game] Kings @ Pelicans (Play-In Tournament) - 4/19 6:30PM PDT/9:30 PM EDT

[chief bromden]

If only Mike Brown knew how to coach an actual game and make in-game adjustments we'd be headed to the playoffs.

I get it bro. Have a good night.

I know this is completely irrational and a ridiculous take, but the decision to move on from Terrance Davis for Duarte was a bigger deal than it seems. In a game like this last year, TD came in with balls of steel gunning. When he was on he could win us a game. Not having a player at the end of your bench like TD (especially after the loss of Monk) gave us nobody else to turn to when our offense stalled out.

Not a bad take at all. I've been saying the same all season. His offense is much more valuable than whatever Duarte has

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

The issue is talent not coaching. We have two fringe top 20 guys and role players, that makeup is a good not great team.

Rick Adelman could take role players on other teams and turn them into borderline all stars.

 

[TaxMan]

I love this team. I didn’t love the team this season. This was the most annoying, frustrating, unlikable (on the court), kind of good team I’ve ever watched. Lol

Amen.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

what the hell is embarrassing about asking your coach who has gotten his ass kicked 5 times previously….

to try something different.

what is embarrassing is half the fan base making excuses for it. Only in Sacramento would such behavior be tolerated.

There was literally no change in game plan vs all prior 5 losses. Maybe the thinking is “it has to work eventually”

 

[sactowndog]

I'll say this much, though: McNair does need to address the wing situation, because... either the players aren't good enough, or Brown doesn't trust them enough to play them. It only matters but so much which one of those it is, but he needs to bring in some people that Brown will put in the game.

my guess is McNair is 60-70% of the problem but since Brown didn’t even try to make an adjustment he opens himself up to be the scapegoat for failing to make the play-offs.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Alright let’s go Pacers!!

Eww.

 

[captain bill]

Painful

I like the way you phrased that what Duarte has is a fine head of hair and willingness to shamelessly brick shots and commit fouls.

 

[TaxMan]

Not a bad take at all. I've been saying the same all season. His offense is much more valuable than whatever Duarte has

Especially with the emergence of Keon, and the drafting of Jones, even if he was playing well, Duarte is completely redundant.

What are you suggesting they'd have done different. They shot terribly.

I’m not making excuses for Fox playing hero ball, Domas being outplayed by JV or Keegan being a no show, I’m just not into blaming our secondary players or coach for their failings today.

I dont know but doing the same thing for 6 games in row and hoping for a different result…. Is the definition of insanity

 

[KF8]

Alright let’s go Pacers!!

Eww.

I'll be rooting for the nuggets to beat the lakers.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

You ain’t wrong ole buddy…they won the last one for you….figures I get back from chaperoning sleepaway camp for three days and watch my first game in IdK how long and this happens, this ones on me fam…sorry

 

[captain bill]

Fox still fighting and continue to prove that playoff swipa is a thing and worth every penny

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Jeebus what kinda D is that?!?!?! Foul!!!!!!!

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Fox still fighting and continue to prove that playoff swipa is a thing and worth every penny

Except we’re not in the playoffs… and he’s only been to the playoffs 1 season

You can only work with the skillset that your available players have

 

[luckytkp]

I don’t blame Fox for hero ball today . No one was giving him any help.

 

[SacTownKid]

Monte already have to 'splain the run back before the game was even over eh? haha.

 

[TheMobb]

Rick Adelman could take role players on other teams and turn them into borderline all stars.

Hey maybe you’re right a coach can elevate some of these role players more than Mike Brown has. IMO we still need a 3rd all star caliber guy with Fox and Sabonis.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Then what is the purpose of having a coaching staff??

 

[Tetsujin]

Mike Brown took a team of Bron and random YMCA-ers to the NBA Finals. What the hell are we even debating here?

 

[Kingz19]

Jeebus what kinda D is that?!?!?! Foul!!!!!!!

Domas had averted a couple Trey Murphy posters already with good verticality or Murphy flat out missing the dunk. He decided his luck was due to run out on that last one and made a business decision

 

[fansinceday1]

Of course they have the damn game on at my favorite bar.

im gonna close with this gem. (Since im still bitter AF over the Super Bowl)……

Is it wrong to say we have our very own Kyle Shannahan? 7 years in and he still doesn’t know how to make in game adjustments. Please don’t be that stubborn Mike……

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Run ir back, run it back.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Then what is the purpose of having a coaching staff??

To bring out the best in your available players. They can't magically get guys to do things they aren't capable of

 

[Bfreeman]

I get the heat on MB. Considering history do you really wanna fire him? It’s just too soon and you’re not taking into account how good the west was this year. He’s a winning coach, I don’t like his yelling from the sidelines or his weird rotations. He doesn’t seem to develop guys very much. It’s gonna be a rough ride to learn to play defense at the expense of some short term success. Once it clicks you guys will be singing his praises. Remember old Mike Malone he did the same thing here, before Denver. Difference is it got him fired here right as it was starting to gel. Denver stuck with him, I’m just saying give it a little time.

The betting insert the day Porter got a life suspension is really something
