Kings v Hawks, Jan 9

If we all agree that Thornton is a total waste and does not want to be here, why are they still persisting with him surely it's time to play a young player.

The same reason as you mention after asking the question, the owners aren't willing to completely throw him away as they most likely think that it will look bad to Boston, who have most likely already written him off... PLus he DOES have the skill, but he's focusing only on trying to get his points. He had what, 1 rebound, 1 assist, last game? That's not good enough for ANY player who is playing 20mpg, let alone an import...

I agree Matty is a long shot, I guess I just see him as the best option, and seeing him back for the last game at the Kingdome was really good... Perth is an amazing organisation, but it's not perfect... Bevo had his problems with Mr Marvin from what has been discussed here and Elsewhere, so you never know... I'll still put it on my Wish List though, as until the Ownership pull their heads out of their arses, nothing it going to change...

Why does it matter that someone started a thread after a game? If people want to discuss something, they post, if not, what's it got to do with you? There's maybe two or three Kings fans that post regularly here, not like certain 36er or Wildcat fans that obsess over every tiny little details...

But back to discussing the game, if it's ok, since it's already been played?

Not much to argue with regarding the atrocious lack of effort... Although scoring 90pts was the only thing they did really, I don't know where those points came from as it just looked like it was the Hawks wandering down and jacking up shots... When White clumsily "passes" off the ring and Coenraad banks a shot off the backboard from WELL past the 3pt line, you know it's just not your day...

Kirkish Delight just made us his bitch, not like playground bitch, like hold his pocket walking through the cell block bitch, it was really hard to watch... He just seems to be able to get his balance with not even half a seconds notice and swish... That being said, putting our best offensive player on him a lot of the game was a stupid idea, but maybe out of necessity as no-one else was doing a decent job? Indiana Faithful did pretty good on Lisch at times, a few fouls but at least hustled hard... Was 100 times better than Thornton who seems to have gotten even WORSE than previous games, and is an even bigger liability on the court, ball hogging and over dribbling and a complete waste of space... What's worse than a black hole of basketball?

For those wetting themselves over White, I think you could put nearly anyone on the court with Oscar, Lisch, Penney and AJ and as long as he played any sort of D, he'd look MUCH better than what he actually is... I'm more pleased with how Ellis is still going well, he got screwed over with minutes last season but he would still have been a better option than Hill for the Kings this season...

The more games that are played, the more I want Larry Kestelman to come in and bitch slap the ownership group into seeing that they can't keep screwing with things and to get a decent coach in (Joe hasn't proven that he's the guy, no matter how much I like him jumping around on the sideline like a crazy parent at their kids weekend sports game) that they don't have to interfere with... The thing is though, they're few and far between... People need to get over Goorj coming back, it's not going to happen, and regarding the ex-King post somewhere above, the only one I'd even be ok with coming in would be Matty Nielsen with BJ Carter backing him up... Both have put their time in and matt especially has been with strong organisations that can bring in some work ethic, defensive mindset and talent into the team... If he can't light a fire under Jules (if he returns) then Jules is a lost cause...

Whoever it is, the owners need to get someone of quality in before the end of the season and run with it... Let them build their team, bring in some young talent to grow (*cough* Mitch McCarron please*cough*) and don't expect a championship straight away... Support the team off the court and give them the best chance to grow and succeed on the court without screwing things up...

Sounds like AngusH is in Kings management or ex coach by the comments of what and did happen at start of season.

Faithfull only gets on because of Jerkomas being an Asst.
He picks up three fouls in seven minutes.how is that great "D"
There are still better players out there should be given an opportunity.

At least White,Ellis and Weekes are being given opportunities and rewarded under a coach who is prepared to show faith in them.

Bevo certainly made the right decision going to Hawkes and I bet a few Kings players would love the opportunity to play for him.
