They only have 2 guys in their starting roster that can shoot 3s and they do it at around 35%. I don't think they will do that well, but their best bet is a top 5 defense mentality and twin tower offense similar to memphis.

George Karl's 2013-13 Denver team ranked 25th in the league in 3P% and 19th in 3PA and they won 57 games. If anyone can coach a team with a lack of outside shooting, it's George Karl.

Haha the KINGS had all sorts of adversity last year (major player injuries and coaching changes) and played in the much tougher Western conference and still had a better record then the Magic last year.

We got better in roster spots 4-10 and have a better stability in the FO and a future HOFer leading the coaching staff. The Magic got a better coach (Skiles) and signed CJ Watson and Jason Smith. I think the KINGS outlook next year is far brighter than the Magics is Bozo!

Kings 2016 record 35-47 to 45-37
Magic 2016 record 20-62 to 35-47

I've been criticizing the Kings pretty bad lately. But man, this video was both hilarious and kinda badass. I can't see an in-between result with this team. It's either going to be a disaster of epic proportions, or this team is going to roll in the playoffs with their guns blazing.

One thing is for sure as well. Vlade don't give any f***s. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing just yet.

Whole thing is just bizarre to me.


I think the only way to really make sense of the Kings is to watch a bollywood movie, or a scene from a bollywood movie, such as.

then you just get it, Vivek's an Indian, and if you take it for what it is rather than try to make something out of it, you'll find it very entertaining and genius on some level.

I think even the Kings have doubts....seriously, if you are so confident its gonna work seemlessly, then you aren't being honest, and you haven't been paying attention to those 2 players and their careers.

Its one thing to be positive about your team and its players, but its another thing to put your head in the sand and cross your fingers.

You know the Kings won 29 games last season. The only way to stop the flood of negativity is to win. We Kings fans know this.

We know Vlade used an aggressive style to improve the team. But what do they say? No guts, no glory :D

Those of us that have been Fans for many years can recognize an improvement in the team. Players, Coaching and Front Office has all been improved. Sure there is no way to predict how it will all mesh once the season begins. But we are more excited for it to begin than we have been in years.

That was hugely influenced by the Denver altitude and home court advantage as a running team. They lost 3 games at home that season until their first round exit in playoffs.

The video is pretty awesome. If the Kings actually made it, that would have been their best move all offseason.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that they will ever click. It reminds me of the 04-06 Knicks with Marbury, Crawford, Ariza, Randolph, Curry. They had more talent than their record.

Maybe they can put it together this season.


That looks like Brutal spacing for the starting unit. WCS and Rondo are among the worst shooters for their position in the entire NBA combined with McLemore and Gay who are both 34% 3 Point Shooters for their career (although McLemore maybe can raise his).

WCS has the ability to space for a big

Rondo shot 35% from three in Dallas.

That stuff just gets repeated to discredit the talent on this team.

Really? Your evidence of WCS being able to space for a big comes from his Workout Video!!! o_O LOL That is a new one. I have a Workout Video of yi jianlian looking like a star and Shaq making 80% of his FT's. I also have a video or Embiid able to play Basketball.

Rondo for his Career is a 26% 3 Point Shooter, that will sure help with Spacing! WCS has less range than Drummond and Deandre Jordan.

You store workout videos on your computer or what do you mean by you 'have' videos? I don't mean to be rude, just genuinely curious.
