Kings 2017 / 2018 2nd worst Kings team ever.

Let's be honest... The Kings aren't going to make some fairytale run to the playoffs... The pieces are not only just not there, they still have significant deficiencies that will hamper them getting many more wins... Even the bookies agree... The Kings have gone from $8 for the most losses (when I put some money on them) to the tied favourite with the Bullets at $2.75.

Tomorrow night will be my first home game for this season, but from memory, the attendance numbers for the home games haven't set the world on fire so far, comparatively? 7035 (Sat), 6403 (Sun) and 7210 (Sun) while decent from past seasons, it doesn't look good for a Thursday night game...

If the Kings don't win 2 games this weekend their chances of turning the season around is F%ck!

And jvg will have Stephen A Smith(No Excuses) not to sack Gaze and avoid getting the sack himself by the owner.

They've done a good job marketing so far, but I agree that unless they start winning, they will undo much of what they achieved since AEG took over.

The odds are stacked against Gaze being able to pull off a stunning turnaround. Stats sure don't lie, too much focus on offensive schemes & relying on outdated, heavily scouted defensive tactics, compounded by poor roster & substitution management.

I doubt 12 days are enough to implement new, intricate zone defenses ala Bevo's or Fearne's, not without expert outside help or other kind of 'help'...

I wouldn't be surprised if Lisch takes a while longer than the Kings have stated. I heard that they are trying to get him back ASAP, but Lisch isn't keen on hurrying recovery. The organisation are trying to pressure him back before he is comfortable.

Which will be around 9 weeks, which is around the right time that was estimated, maybe a tiny bit longer... So all of Gaze's hopeful talk that they might get him back sooner and the WCQ break will help us and holding off on getting an import guard made things even worse...

I agree... at least the excuse back then was that they came back that first year rushed and late and most of the good players were taken... We lucked out with Jules and eventually Madgen... was great to get Toly back for a season as well, which was rumoured to be pretty decent coin, but then he took off for mucho denero... Highlights were few and far between, but at least they felt like the Kings... This team just feels like the de facto Tigers...

The numbers don't lie and the only one that Randle will help improve is the points scored...

How long is Lisch out for?

Gaze worst coach in NBL history

Those Kings teams when they came back into the league were on minimum coin, not like last season and this seasons team.
Well jvg, great outcome.

I would say that they've now added Randle this team will not go down as the worst Kings team ever.

Those Kings teams when they first came back into the league with Ian Robilliard as coach and imports like Patrick Sanders & Taj McCullough were pretty crook.
