no thread for this yet? ya so the Feb 9th game vs Utah, which was dubbed the "Here We Buy" night and our chance to show a national audience how much the fans care, has been pulled from the NBATV lineup. the other game that night is still being shown, but not ours.
Dang, Maloofed by the NBA.
I wouldn't read too much into it. I can't really blame NBATV. I mean, who the hell outside of us would want to watch a lifeless and dysfunctional Kings team play the Jazz?

As much as I *LOVE* conspiracy theories, I don't think this had anything to do with "Here We Buy" night. Most likely:Originally Posted by Krunker
- The NBA doesn't want to draw attention to the Sacramento situation. Having their analysts talk during the game and at halftime about how great Sacramento is and how this shouldn't be happening is really not in their best interests.
- They (unlike our front office) have some quality standards. We're talking about a Kings game here...
- Utah vs Sacramento... talk about limited viewership... would probably be their lowest rated game EVER!
But it's probably a combination of all three of the above.
Well, I wasn't intending to suggest a conspiracy, just using "maloofed" in a general sense of getting screwed... although in our defense, we have had competitive games with Utah lately
What do you expect after we go down 50 to NY? Our problems in Sac don't trump their right to guarantee a semi-competitive game on National tv.
“Sacramento is where I want to be,’’ he said. “I want to bring the organization back, help the organization get started back winning. I love the city of Sacramento. That’s where I want to be. End of story. “We can dig a hole, throw that topic in there, cover it with dirt, pack it down. I want to be in Sacramento. End of story.’’ -DeMarcus Cousins
Our franchise literally is about to rise from the ashes.
i thought this was done before the New York game. but either way i dont blame them. nobody wants to watch this team play.
im actually kind of glad that we don't have to be embarrassed in front of the whole nation on NBATV. oh wait, we get to have that done tonight against the very same Utah Jazz.
It was pulled before that game.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall. - Pink Floyd
who the hell would blame the NBA, this team is atrocious
This team franchise reminds me of the mess portraited by the movie major league, minus the team that actually played well.
I will always be a Kings fan, even after the day they die.
I think with the agreement the Maloofs have signed they are no longer running the show by themselves and are bot likely to do any transactions or coach firings and hirings on their own. So I think it's going to stay the way it is. What's left is a group of 12 or 13 players who have to play another 30 games. Whether the coaches help them or not they have to play and they are not there to lose. So it makes me root all the harder for them to play good ball and win games. Tough situation fo the players whether they sare good or bad and whether I like them or not. Come on guys, give 'em he'll!!!!!!!
