"He worked his tail off last year to really get that contract that he hadn't had," said Kenny Natt, the Kings' interim coach after Reggie Theus' ouster last week. "My objective right now is to get him back to where he was — hungry, like he was last year."

Loving Natt so far

Good pick for interim. He’s going back to basics, stressing D, putting Hawes in the post to work and learn, slowly using a 3 big men rotation, now helping Udrih get back to last year’s form. I don’t think he has much of a chance of sticking around after this season (as a coach at least) but he could serve as great transition for things to come.

I knew it...

He has gone Marko Jaric on us. God help us if we see him cavorting around town with a supermodel. His fate will have been sealed..

Damn you Robert Horry!!!

A pretty strong indictment

from the new coach, TZ’s speculation about giving Bobby Brown a chance at starting may not be farfetched.

The more you guys work the trade machine, the happier I am GP is our GM.

Good thing Joe Maloof didn't say it

Everyone would have been up in arms here. ;)

That's cuz Joe should shutup

Maybe Natt saying it means that Beno needs to focus on different shit yanno? (Not that you didn’t know that, I’m just saying.)

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on

you know things are not going well for Beno

when he can’t even get motivated to play well against the Spurs. I’m done with Beno…move him out with Brad, Salmons, Mikki, and K9. Is Dunleavy still interested?
