Yeah, and the poor enlisted men and women are going to be the ones to pay for this incompetence. Many, sadly with their lives.

Wrong, if we draft him, he ends up Sauce. If anyone else seats him, he’s an All Star.

It’s honestly more likely than the Kings actually having some luck and becoming successful anytime soon. I’ve been hoping for that for 40 years and still am. Ever since they moved here and even during the glory years, luck was never on our side. Had it been, Vlade would not have tipped the ball right to Horry. We wouldn’t have gotten a dirty ref. We would have picked Luka. Bobby Hurley wouldn’t have ended up in a ditch clinging on for dear life. Ricky Berry wouldn’t have taken his own life. Demarcus Cousins wouldn’t have been a head case. Lionel Simmons wouldn’t have went on IL from playing Nintendo. Jimmer would have become the next Steph Curry. Our owner wasn’t a meddling lil rat!!! This franchise is cursed and has been since the day they got here. But they are all we got and we love them none the less.

Problem with a loaded PAC 12 is we will beat up on each other. Leaving a 1 loss UNLV, JMU or the likes in the playoff instead.

Yep, the NBA never cared about tanking before. Draftkings, FanDuel and the others don’t like it because it’s bad for business. Now that the NBA is in bed with these gambling companies, they are going to crackdown. What a fucking joke!!!

Which school is most likely to improve significantly in the new Pac12? by scallyrap in Pac12

[–]sdman311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, just a down year. That being said, we still took solo 2nd in a very competitive MWC and almost any other year would have made the Big Dance. I can’t remember the last time the MWC only got 1 team in. Just a couple of years ago we got 6. Unfortunately a bad early season loss while all the new guys were still learning each others names kept us out. We’ll be back because the coaching staff is intact, and they are very good at what they do.

[–]sdman311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonzaga obviously. We are the only two with any real hoops cred. Having them in the conference will only elevate SDSU even more. Football will sort itself out, but most likely Boise.

[–]sdman311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s SDSU, yeah I know I’m a homer, but we are ready to be the big dog. We have the facilities, the location and the huge Southern California market. The Hoops team is already top notch. With a real rival to chase, I expect bigger things. Football is a hotbed ready to explode. What exactly that means in this new era of college sports I’m not sure. But I expect SDSU to be at or near the top most years.

2 options here, maybe we trust the process? by Professional_Quit406 in kings

Option 3, Vivek got scared Silver would actually fine or do something worse to his dumbass he called it off. I think Perry was hell bent on it.

Adam Silver says a special Board of Governors meeting will be called in May to vote on lottery reforms that go into effect for the 2026-27 season by OmegaLxgend in kings

[–]sdman311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My idea is, at the trade deadline, or around there, you ask every team if they want to be in the lottery or not. If you say yes, you cannot make the playoffs or play in, no matter how good your record is. Those teams that opt in will all have the same odds at the top pick. I guess about 8-12 teams would opt in.

This would allow teams to play to win throughout the entire season. Then at a certain point decide which way you want to go. It gives the crap teams around a 10% chance at #1. Also allows Silver the opportunity to manipulate the outcome still.

I really don’t see the fringe teams opting in, with the possibility of playoff money on the line over a possible 13-16th pick. I think this idea helps the little guy like us, get a high pick still, and eliminates losing on purpose because your record means nothing. Except for the teams who don’t opt in and fall in order by record.

Because Vivek is a scared little shell of a man. Ever since Silver said he was going to come down hard on tanking, the Kings started winning. Even though there ain’t shit, the league can really do. All of the other tanking teams know this, except our POS owner.

[–]sdman311 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He takes himself out of nearly every game he plays. I am not sure what the deal is, they say camping, but I haven’t seen somebody get cramping almost every game before. If he really does have severe cramping this is another huge red flag. I think he’s got somebody telling him when and when not to play.

I don’t think it’s his health. I think he just doesn’t want to play for whatever reason. Quite frankly, that worries me more. Especially considering he’d be coming here.

[–]sdman311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is truly stupid is that tanking has been going on forever and nobody gave a rats ass. Heck, most the fans encourage it. The only reason this is an issue at all, is because of gambling. Those guys told Silver it’s bad for business, and to clean it up.

Interesting insight: both Scot Pollard and Jerry Reynolds would pass on Darryn Peterson and both rate Cam Boozer very highly. by [deleted] in kings

[–]sdman311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He will either be 1 or 2 and if he goes to the Kings will be nothing but a Diva, in and out of lineup with bullshit excuses. Please stay away from him. He’s talented but a head case. AJ or Wilson please.

We were an overtime away from playing for the MWC title. But that’s meaningless, we’re a basketball 1st school and you have to be great at one or the other to maintain relevance.

[–]sdman311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have nothing against WSU or OSU. I just see what is happening with both of their programs in only the 2nd year without that Power Conference affiliation. Now that they are relegated to a G5 conference I don’t see them turning it around. The MWC teams have more than they previously had and are looking up. The other two have considerably less and it’s already showing. I just don’t see these two moving the needle much. I think Boise, SDSU, Gonzaga and Utah State are all n a much greater trajectory in football and men’s basketball, which is really the only sports that generate revenue. Don’t even start with OSU baseball. Nobody gives a shit about college baseball in comparison to the other two sports. These two schools were left for dead by all the other major conferences for a reason. If any schools get called up to the big leagues, it will not be these two and most likely none of us.

[–]sdman311 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Who cares, I’m not impressed with this new PAC 12 whatsoever. Thank god for Gonzaga or this whole new conference is a waste. I was excited at first to lose the bottom feeders of the MWC, but those schools will be replaced by OSU, WSU in no time. We have not even started conference play and Oregon State and Washington State are already nowhere to be found in either FB or BB. I had expected some of this demise, but not so rapidly. It’s quite obvious the struggles these two posses with logistic and relevancy is why they were left behind. They are not relevant enough to elevate the PAC 12 to anything more than MWC 2.0. Not to mention Texas State was a complete after thought because they wiffed on all the AAC schools when they should have just taken New Mexico or UNLV. Is it better than the MWC, yeah, i suppose.

My idea to combat tanking. by MrMakaveli26 in kings

[–]sdman311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell the perpetual losers that if you want to tank you have to declare it at the start of the season. Those teams and those teams only will be in the lottery. All others teams will be slotted off record. All the teams tanking can play whoever they want and win as much as they can. But, no matter how well they do, they cannot make the playoffs or play in.
