    Why has shooting form changed?

    Random thought, but curious to hear any insight you might have as to why players' shooting forms have changed so much. When I watch plays from the 90s and even early 2000s, a lot of guys seemed to bring the ball back a lot, jump as high as they could and release at the top of their jump...

    Is Buddy uncoachable? (Moved from Fox thread)

    Without derailing the Fox thread, why do you say Buddy is not coachable when everything his coaches have said has been the opposite?

    West Coast in November

    Hi folks, just hoping to get advice from the California locals. I'm planning a trip to the West Coast in late October/early November. Just wondering if that's a decent time to visit or should it be avoided as a tourist? In terms of how nature will look and all I guess. Thanks for the help!

    How do you judge performance Vs expectations?

    I would like to know how fellow fans base their judgment of team performance. This thought arose because many have brought up how many games we/Vegas expected the Kings to win this season - and against that metric (sub 30wins) the team has outperformed by far. However, it is also evident that...

    What's up with Bogi?

    Bogi for the most part has underwhelmed this season, and it's not only the stats but his shot selection that looks really suspect. Why do you guys think this is so? Is he being misused, bothered by injury? What's up with the bogus shot selection?

    Season End - Kings news/interviews etc.

    Would be great if we could have a consolidated thread to post news and videos about the team as we enter TDOS of the Kings. I for one can't understand why the Kings media team does not put up postgame interviews, and am not sure where I should look. Cowbellkingdom gives me a couple every now and...

    [NBA] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (MAR/APR)

    Beasley played well against the Pels yesterday ... The guy can flat out score. Defense however ... He's like a much more offensively skilled Derrick Williams.

    [NBA] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (DEC)

    I'm watching KJ McDaniels for the first time. Must say his athleticism is very impressive

    New Orleans Pelicans Podcast on Ex-Kings players

    Podcast with Pelicans bloggers and Kings blogger James Ham about all the ex-Kings now on the Pelicans. Not too bad a listen if you've got nothing better to do. http://www.bourbonstreetshots.com/2014/07/21/in-the-no-podcast-episode-186-james-ham-on-the-kingly-pelicans/

    Young Kobe and how long it takes youth to develop

    Unrelated to our team, but here's a video of Kobe from way back. Might be interesting to compare him with our own young guys (in terms of time it takes to develop/ star potential etc)

    Where to get Tickets - Kings@Pacers

    Hi Kings fans, I'll be going to Indiana for a few months on an exchange program in Jan 2014, and as luck would have it the Kings are playing the Pacers in Jan! So I'm hoping some of you could advise me on the best way to get tickets. It will be my first live NBA game, but I'm also a student on...

    Doug Collins?

    There's speculation that Collins may not be coach of the 76ers for long, after his postgame rant. Do you think he'd be a suitable candidate for our coach next season? http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2013/02/28/report-curry-set-to-replace-collins/?ls=iref:nbahpts

    Advice on Schools and Life in the States

    Hey fellow Kings fans, a very merry and blessed Christmas to all of you! I'm applying for an exchange program to the USA, and was hoping some of you could give me some advice on what the life and respective areas are like. Here's the list of schools that I can apply to for exchange: 1) Stern...

    [Game] Kings Vs Lakers - 21/11/2012

    Thought I'd start a thread for once. Kings are up against the Lakers, who are 5-1 since firing Mike Brown. Lakers may be tired from playing Brooklyn last night and running a whole lot more under D'Antoni's new system, but they're also loaded with confidence and playing very well. Kobe has been...

    Pacers trade Dahntay Jones, Darren Collison to Mavs for Ian Mahinmi

    http://www.nba.com/2012/news/07/12/mavericks-pacers-trade.ap/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt2 Quite surprised - I thought Darren Collison was considered a pretty good young player. To give him up for Ian Mahinmi??

    Charles Barkley on DeMarcus Cousins

    Nice to see DMC getting some love (and advice) from Sir Charles. Hopefully he'll listen to all the advice that the former or current greats have been giving him. http://www.nba.com/video/channels/tnt_overtime/2012/05/01/20120430_inside_4.nba/index.html (it's from 2:15 onwards)

    Would you want to play for the Kings?

    While Keith Smart is a great communicator, I'm pondering the effects that his playing style will have on the team's ability to attract quality FAs. Last offseason, many of us speculated that Kirilenko could possibly want to play with our young, upcoming team alongside 2 potential stars and...

    Thoughts on Vets and Leadership

    Here's a quick question - do you think a "vet" can be respected if he doesn't contribute game-wise? Our team is short enough on vets as it is, but I'm beginning to worry that the young guys may be facing a problem on top of a shortage of veterans, which is that our veterans flat out suck. I...
