J.Ross: NBA’s Recent Draft History

There is so much talk around the NBA right now about teams trying to lose to improve their draft chances.  The league has a perception problem with this.  Teams near the bottom of the NBA standing appear to be in a race for the league’s worst record.  The benefit is the best odds of winning […]

J.Ross: What Do You Do When Both Teams Think It’s Best to Lose?

I believe when you are in competition you do your best to win.  I think the players and the coaches genuinely do that.  There could be instances though when organizations inform coaches that they want certain players to play more.

Watching The Kings Lose, Thinking Of Africa

Tank Commander here. While watching Kings games these days, often times we need a companion distraction. Something that allows us to still watch the game, but also….you know…..be entertained. Those of you that listen to my show (Thanks Dad) know my affinity for the song “Africa” by Toto. I usually come back from break with […]

Tank Commander: Why I Hate The Lakers

The Lakers beat the Kings last night at Golden 1 Center. Though the Tank Commander can argue that the loss at this point of the season was the best thing for the “Sag for Bagley” or Puka for Luka” sweepstakes, I tend to suspend all thoughts of tanking for Laker games, especially Laker games in […]
