Who do you want to win. Fox or Mike brown? Lolol.
I love your intro today!! You are so talented, Matt !!
Please keep this team together, i need to buy a house for the nba playoffs
And the losses keep on piling up. 6-20, the worst season since 2008-2009 season ending in,16-65 record. Yes strong performance in the first half, BUT they for whatever reason,cut slack in the fourth quarter
I really just want Coach Christie to start playing the young guys. Clifford and Raynaud have been showing great strides, and I think Murray with more playing time and freedom can learn how to integrate his college level scoring inside the paint more alongside his shooting. I think even Carter can improve with more playing time. They can really suck at times, like this game, but there's no better improvement than being in the field. There's no point in trying to appease the starters when our roster is so bad. I just hope we can keep Sabonis somehow. I really love Domas, but if we have to trade him to get our roster good, then I believe it's time.
I’m honestly just here for the crash out. I feel the exact same way. I don’t care about game analysis until we have a clear direction
Only came for the NBA cup reaction
Firing Mike Brown was the biggest mistake this organization has ever done.
Silver lining just 2 back of the leagues worst record tank is alive and well we need this number one pick badly
Is it too early to talk about the lottery?
24:40 I am here for the NBA Cup reaction. If either De'aaron or Mike Brown win the NBA Cup, they should spend some of that prize money to send Vivek thank you flowers or cake. I want them to be that petty 🍿🍿🍿
Take the other team and give up the points every night. 9 out of 10 wins all season guaranteed. Started this like 2 months ago
The Kings have no chance without some size on the floor.
They was way too small.
Russell Westbrook fan here 29:00 I really like this guy 😂😂😂
💯💯💯💯💯💯
It was nice to see Dennis playing again 🙂
Unfortunately, most of what you have reported is the unfiltered and honest truth about the King's incompetence, poor decisions, and self-inflicted mistakes. We have gone from recently making the playoffs for the first time in many years, boasting the best offense in NBA history, with the Executive of the Year and Coach of the Year leading one of the league's most exciting teams, to our current record of 6-19. Only the Sacramento Kings could manage this decline. We need a new majority owner of the team who can turn this organization around into a winner and justify the BEAM. I have decided to give up my season tickets next year in utter disgust. There are also many other reasons, not reported here, that we could add to the list of this team's blatant ineptitude as you have described it. Too sordid to even identify.
For Christmas I want…..
The Kings to go to Seattle.
I have nothing to add when it comes to the game. If I go there at this point, all it will do is piss me off.
So, I want to focus on what can be with the rebuild.
Yes, there is no question that Vivek and so many of his people in the front office have run this organization like they are 6 year old kids trading basketball cards.
But I have to have some level of hope that Scott Perry who has previous experience as a gm can turn it around.
Otherwise, yes…Vivek needs to be run out of town as the owner of the Kings.
See if Mark Cuban wants to buy the team. For all of Mark's faults, he at least understands the game of basketball and has led an organization to a championship before. I don't know if he would do it or not, but at this point, why not at least try for something new? Before Mark Cuban bought the Mavericks, they were among the worst run teams in the NBA. So why not see if he can come in, right this ship over a 10-15 year timeline, then he can sell and it gets rid of this piss poor reputation the Kings have for how to run a basketball team?
As for this roster, as I have stated, I really hope that Keegan Murray, Nique Clifford, Keon Ellis and Maxime (I can't remember how to spell his last name, sorry) can stick with the team. But I can't blame everyone if they say release me, trade me or buy me out and next season it's a g league team the Sacramento Kings play with.
I can't blame people if they don't want to play in Sacramento.
Now, I hope for better. I do. But at this point, I wouldn't be shocked if Vivek moved the team to Seattle and made the SuperSonics a team again. The sad part is, for some Kings fans, I think they are at the point where it would be okay…this team can F off. This has gotten to a point where it is Maloof bad.
I am willing to give it up to 5 years. After that, if Scott Perry hasn't gotten this team into a better place or Vivek has fired Scott to make that dumbass in Dallas the new GM because somehow being the guy who traded Luka Doncic was a smart move…or some equally ineptitude level shit happens, then I am done with the Kings.
Scott Perry had better figure out some shit and get this team younger and give this team some hope for the future.
I really am hoping for Cam Boozer in the draft now. His dad had a really impressive NBA career and I think Cam could do the same. Maybe getting Cam as a PF and moving Keegan Murray to the SF gives Keegan the room to shoot from 3. Maybe that helps Keegan Murray regain his shot. I don't know. But Keegan Murray at this point, should be available for the right price as well. He's locked in for years now and won't be too expensive, so many teams should want him and value him. Though I would look at the post draft summer when it comes to trading him, not beforehand.
As for coaching…might as well stick with who we have for now. See if it can get better, somehow. If it can't, then maybe next season, a change has to be made. But I give the time necessary to learn and make mistakes.
Christie did an amazing job last season. Both Fox and Brown are on championship level rosters.
BUT watching Fox against OKC not once did i think He wasnt going to do what He had to do to win it.
Fox is A one A. He absolutely can be the best player on a championship team absolutely.
It seemed like He checked out and i thought kings would get Castle or Vassel or at least Sochan. They literally got none of them.
Absolutely horrendous trade in retrospect absolutely.
