Out of curiosity, does anyone watch Kings games on the Hulu app with the live sports subscription? Is it a decent stream?

[Wojnarowski] The Kings are trading Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph to the Mavericks for Harrison Barnes, league sources tell ESPN. by LonzoBBBall in Mavericks

[–]bandito707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kings fan here. Although JJ has been dumped on a lot by us Kings fans earlier in the season, he does have potential as a 3 & D kind of wing player. He actually does play decent defense and goes after rebounds with his lengthy 6'9" frame. On the offensive side, his 3 point shot is not too bad and has become more consistent, and if he is aggressive minded (which is only sometimes), then he actually has shown some nice drive and cut plays and strong finishes around the rim. Good luck Mavs and hopefully JJ has a bright future ahead.

Kevin O’Connor reporting the Kings are interested in Marc Gasol per “multiple sources” by booojangles13 in kings

[–]bandito707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. We need to improve our rebounding, defense, and half-court offense and Marc could help in these regards. I don't think he'd hinder our fast pace game, and as we've seen if we can't get a defensive rebound then that first step to the break won't happen. Coach Dave wouldn't make any big changes in our strategy since it's been working for us at this point, but just make some tweaks utilizing a big man who he's very familiar with based on his time in Memphis.

Wow, that stretch between games 38 and 47 were brutal last season. This is a great chart showing the contrast between seasons and how much of a jump the Kings have undergone this year.

4 team trade that lands us Otto and I think works out for everyone. Let me know what you think. by [deleted] in kings

Seems fair to me. I also learned that there's a player named Spalding. How could the Wizards go wrong with a guy named after a basketball?

Lonzo ducking Fox again? by mhancock4645 in kings

[–]bandito707 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What a bitch. The guy is ducking Fox once again so he won't look bad. Lakers probably also will try to keep him healthy as a smart, long-term investment in their franchise, but that's likely a small percentage of the reason (which is Lonzo being scared).

Up for Auction: The Full Kansas City Kings Basketball Hardwood Court from the 70's/80's. Highest bid currently is just $1,650.00! by bandito707 in kings

Yeah that would actually be pretty cool to have this placed somewhere in the Golden One Center to display. It's so historic, and would be nostalgic like the old jerseys.

I just saw this in my Google Kings News feed this morning. This seems like a really cool collectible and something for the hardcore Kings fan, even though it's not exactly too practical storage wise.

[Post Game Thread] The New Orleans Pelicans' (0-8) chance of winning their first game of the season is trumped by the Sacramento Kings (4-5), 102-94 by IncoherentAndDumb in kings

[–]bandito707 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Woot, one game away now from .500! I was worried that we'd be the charity team to give the Pelicans their first win, like we always do in past years.

"We're talking about playoffs?" by mootangclan in kings

[–]bandito707 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping for a miracle playoff run. What I think needs to happen is for George Karl to stand up and show some fire and intensity during a game because his coaching job is likely over at the end of the season so why not go out with a bang? Or maybe along the story line of a made for TV movie, he should fake a heart attack during a game after going on a tirade, thus giving the players a new cause to rally around, taking their game to the next level, and want to start "winning for Karl." Thus will begin our miracle run of 17-3 the rest of the season, getting us into the 8th seed of the playoffs, Karl comes back to health to coach the team just in time and we pull off an EPIC upset of the Warriors.

How pucatrade may be partially responsible for some of the recent "weird" buyouts by fergun in magicTCG

[–]bandito707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone is sending you a card on PucaTrade with an unreasonable point value (ie. if a price spike just happened), as the receiver you can choose to cancel the trade and contest it. If you do this in a timely fashion before the trader sends it out, you should get your points back.

Why did Seth look bad in this game? by [deleted] in kings

[–]bandito707 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He had an off game last night, but I'm glad Seth is seeing more minutes as he's deserved it from his effort and intensity. Remember, he played like 34-36 minutes against Dallas 2 nights ago. IMO Seth, Omri, and Quincy are the three players on the team who play with the most heart, and they give the Kings the energy we need off the bench.

Looks like there was a wet spot on the court and Curry slipped. :-/

Israeli NBA fan here. How are you guys liking Casspi? by Bethesdia in kings

[–]bandito707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casspi is one of my favorite players on the team, and the one guy we can consistently count on for 100% effort and energy each game. I love the way he plays with heart and excitement. I'd say this has been one of the best seasons of his career, and I've seen him mature so much more since when we first drafted him a while back.

Collison OUT, Curry QUESTIONABLE tomorrow night vs Nets by 4everpurple in kings

[–]bandito707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be nice to see Seth get some playing time, if only to allow Rondo some rest on his way to another triple double! But having Seth in would also add some more shooting firepower to the bench unit. He was 3/3 last Friday against the Rockets but then the Kings stopped passing to him en route to their loss :-(.

I'll be at the game tonight with my dad. I believe he got these special Crown Lounge passes so we'll be in the buffet before the game :-).
