It's like being tied up in the driver's seat and having the accelerator weighed down by a rock and headed straight for the cliff
Trade everybody beside keon and keegan and carter. Sign laravia to a one year deal in order to sign him to bigger a deal after. Gather picks and young talent. Rebuild.
😂🫢😍 🎤⏰ hilarious opening 🔥
The intro to your podcast was straight hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing.
great intro I feel your pain clean house as much as possible rebuild really the only option unless you just want to stay mid
If Domas doesn't have chemistry with Fox, Deebo, and Lavine, at a certain point, that may mean that he's the problem
Best intro you have ever had 😂
They lost another fan tonight. I'm fucking done.
Wish he would have done the whole podcast laying down and singing
Many media outlets questioned Demars with the Kings. They were right.
You are so talented Matt!! Please
do more takes like this 🎉🎉🎉
Oh theres definitely one person to blame and that is the bonehead king, Vivek and his bonehead crew of advisors 🤣
Pacers traded sabonis because he couldn't shoot…still same issues here. So it stalls our offense with him being around the whole.
Kings wont get rid of demar and lavine starting. One has to come off the bench
matt, you're awesome man, sorry about your team but you one of the best on locked on NBA hosts
Unfortunate, most fans over values said pieces in fantasy Daryl Morey, Mcnair 2k spreadsheet. 😂
Monte McNair needs to be fired for doing nothing for 2 years
Matt what about all the cooks in the kitchen? Owners daughter? Owner’s daughter’s boyfriend? Matina? Vlade? Who’s making decisions?
At this point, I want to see a new front office. IF there is to be a change of Head Coach, then let's go to the guy who was just fired from the Grizzlies and get him.
He knows how to get said identity.
I think we can keep up to 5 guys.
The ones I am thinking about…
Keegan Murray, Keon Ellis, Jake LaRavia, Jonas Valancuanas and Trey Lyles.
We are probably stuck with Zach Lavine. So that is 6.
That means 9 guys, 12 counting the 2 way guys.
Sabonis and Monk should bring in some talent and picks.
DeRozan probably can get a couple of backup guys to deepen the bench.
Everyone else, let them walk or trade them.
Right now, I would rather see the Kings lose all 8 games and hopefully fall into the top 12 picks.
Being mid, mediocre…. unacceptable.
If it means being bad for a couple of years, fine. As long as there is a.clear direction to get back on top.
Right now, I agree though. Get a clear direction and go that way.
If they think they can reload for bear next season and be a winner, I doubt it, but let's see what they can do all in. No one foot in, one foot out stuff. Reload or Rebuild. Pick a side though and do it.
Anything else is a disservice to this franchise and fanbase.
Matt has finally cracked 😂😂😂
Sabonis is the most overrated player in the league!! He gives nothing on the defensive end
Zach Lavine was the dumbest mistake by this team by far imo he isn’t worth what he’s making at all
Chemistry on any level including the basketball court begins and ends with RESPECT.
Why can Jimmy Butler plug n play anywhere He goes? Respect. His own and the opposing teammates respect Him because Hes not afraid of anybody.
Fear is A respect Killer. If your own teammates or the opposing teammates smell fear and weakness respect gets lost.
This is competition at the absolute highest level and hundreds of millions of dollars are involved with hundreds of millions of people always tuned in and paying attention.
I swear sometimes instead of a huge salary making the player feel appreciated it instead imposes more self imposed pressure and they always feel they need to live up to that contract every moment of every game and its almost like they become almost joyless and detached from everything and everyone because of the constant stress and criticism.
Its going to seem like im piling on but Domas is the worst interview ever. His post game press conferences are beyond dull and boring.
Its like every time hes interviewed Hes always 'on' and everything is scripted. Its like who is this Dude?
If someone knows of ANY exciting or entertaining Domas interview or podcast or him EVER not being guarded and showing some actual unscripted responses to questions please post a link.
Im not sure if Domas has ever given an entertaining interview or has had a press conference that warranted a sound bite or has EVER shown who He REALLY is ever.
Hes about as Dry as a Nevada desert im sorry. How many fans EVER tune into the Domas post game interview to see and listen to what He has to say?
I honest to God cant remember literally one entertaining interview or post game press conference wheee hes let his guards down and gave a spontaneous authentic orginal response to anything.
Extremely difficult for someone always guarded and unable or unwilling to ever show who they REALLY are to lead A professional sports team.
I hate to say this but him rolling around in the fetal position almost crying instead of standing up and going after Draynond when he stepped on his chest was a VERY bad look and had to have lost respect from opposing players and teammates. Some of you all might disagree but it was a VERY bad look for his brand im sorry.
Chemistry! I have said that ovet and over and over
Keep keegan, Keon, Jake, Isaac, and carter. Trade everyone else for picks. Sign Taylor jenkins to head coach. Fire monte. Vivek take a step back and let new gm handle things.
The minute the Kings traded Fox it should have been an immediate tank (for smart GM's). It's cute if anybody in the front office actually thought this midseason group of misfits (whom I love) would actually work well together for a playoff push with a rookie coach. It's really crazy if you think about it. This Kings team has already exceeded expectations based on reality. Otherwise this team is stuck in mediocre, middle of the pack, barely missing the playoffs, for as many years as we want to continue with our kings fan suffering.
Matt, I definitely know how you’re feeling . We are bleeding the same.
Kings dont have an identity because Domas doesnt have an identity. The leader of the team needs to have a strong identity.
The Kings lack direction because Domas doesnt have an identity and isnt really great at anything except maybe rebounding.
Hes definitely not a great scorer. Hes a decent passer. Not great defensively. Not A rim protector
Definitely not an enforcer. The last thing He wants to do is get in an actual fight with anyone. Hes not about that life literally at all.
Being like that and being willing to fight anyone goes a long way in the NBA. its just the way it is and it REALLY used to be like that in the late 80s early 90s when the players actually were allowed to play defense
Keep the wide angle that was used in the beginning it’s more comfy lol
