2017-2018 Season Discussion

SacSanity · Post #1 » by **SacSanity** » Fri Oct 13, 2017 8:14 pm

With the start of the season coming up, I think it would be good to have a general discussion on this upcoming season. Do we have a set starting 5 as of now? Who will be part of the rotation and who will not (starting the season of course)? I think this season will come with many growing pains, with hopefully some bright light at the end of the tunnel. Key things I am really looking out for is the growth from our 2 bigs in WCS and Skal. I am also really looking forward to seeing what BB can do and if he ends up starting for us. KINGS FOR LIFE

I think you give the experienced guys 3-4 weeks to see if maybe there might be a reason to reverse course and go all in now. If that fails, then I hope they bring on the Fox, Buddy, Bogdan, Skal, and Willie unit ASAP to see if there is some chemistry there worth exploring for the long haul. That will give them some ideas on where to go from there. Joerger even came out and spoke about the team being in transition roster wise. They need to learn from past mistakes and realize cutting loose early is always better than too late.

Yes, the core veteran group, apart from Hill, would not start on any other team, so youth it is

Yo yo Sacto! I thought your twin towers lineup with PapaG and WCS looked like a fun pairing. They are a great contrast, with PapaG being a guy that has the skills to be a very polished offensive player and WCS is a great athletic energy big. Any chance Joerger actually gives this a try?

Most of the time he's done it it's looked pretty horrid so who knows. They have been pushing both bigs farther out of the paint on offense which is good and the only way any two big lineup will work with the current crop of Kings guards.

Why is the NBA so whorish these days? I watched some WNBA and I think the Los Angeles Equitrust or whatever company is was were playing. I'll guess we'll have to get used to it. I wonder how much it would cost me for Adam Silver to tattoo my name on his butt?

Randolph absolutely has to start because we have a lot of trouble scoring.

I don't like the WCS and Hill pair, clogs the lane and makes both of them less effective, would rather see WCS paired with Fox.

We need Bogdan or Buddy to get hot every night to stand a chance too.

It is disgusting. It is this soccer mentality that Silver brought in the NBA. He will do whatever he needs to for more money. I have never bought a jersey before and if there are ads on them, it will only keep it that way for me.

It's going to be real hard for me to buy a jersey with an ad on it. I mean I love basketball I just want a basketball jersey reppin my favorite player or City. I don't want to buy jersey with business logos on it especially Walmart's!!! That right there is an easy no and I will absolutely 100% never buy that Jersey. Never.

Hi, Kings fans.

My 89-year-old mom is a long-time Kings fan who discovered that the local games are no longer broadcast on her cable. She has Comcast in Sacramento. I would get her NBA League Pass but she's not able to see local games because they're blacked out. So, I ask you which options you use.

And before you suggest it... (lol), she can't just go hunting for streams on Reddit. It would be a disaster.

Thanks!

P.S. You should visit the Pelicans game thread. They're friendly over there:

That's weird I use my buddy's Comcast login to watch the Kings games?

I use the NBCsports app

Almost certain Comcast in Sac shows every Kings game.

Thanks, City of Trees. I'll sort it out. She might be losing it a little. :-(
