Kings Links: George Maloof DUI, Sacramento Bee Changes, Warriors-Kings Reaction

TMZ.com - George Maloof Busted for DUI
George is the third Maloof brother, not nearly as visible in Sacramento as Gavin and Joe, but still decently active behind-the-scenes. It was George who recently visited Seattle to investigate the causes of their arena problems (or so they say).

Sacramento Business Journal - Sacramento Bee lays off sports editor
Bill Bradley is beginning his final week as the sports editor of The Bee. Shocking stat from the Biz Journal's story: in 1999, when Bradley arrived in Sacramento, The Bee had 15 reporters and columnists in the sports department. There are now five reporters and one columnist. Ugh.

From Jones' article (Cousins learning the ropes):
“(The officials) were pretty cool,” Cousins said. “They told you what you did. On the offensive foul they called on me they said I was fine until I extended my arm out which I believe I did do.”

DeMarcus seems to respect the Refs

I asked him after the Phoenix game how his first experience with real NBA refs was and he was completely professional. I don’t think we’ll see as many techs as we thought.

I felt (and feel)

DMC will get along with the refs just fine. It is the other bigs in the league with whom he will scuffle, and try to get under his skin because of reputation as volatile player.

In fact, I would predict a one game suspension+ will occur because DMC and an opponent are going to throw down. Let me use my spidey senses….I think it will the Bird Man on the Nuggets, or …the name that just came to me is Brad Miller. Yep, those two do not like each other already!!!

DMC will likely…follow the lead and on-court demeanor of Tyreke, who is one cool cat. I don’t see real temper issues. I also don’t expect any blow-ups with refs because DMC plays the right way in the paint. He does not try to dislodge defenders. He uses power, finesse, and footwork. He is not an uncoordinated player prone to run over a player, then beg for a whistle, a la JT, as example. So I expect DMC and refs will get along relatively well.

Sorry to kick a guy when he's down

but Bill Bradley is terrible. I suppose I shouldn’t take any pleasure in the demise of my hometown paper, but I’m glad that it was finally one of the crappy people that lost their job. I sincerely hope that Bill lands on his feet somewhere, but I’m pretty sure that the Bee and it’s readers will all be better off for his loss.

Let people have their opinions, whether they are right or wrong. Especially in something as subjective as sports. Aside from winning and losing, it’s almost all opinion, even when invoking stats. Let it go, man.

Someone could make the argument

that you are thin-skinned to those that are thin-skinned. Not me of course. Well…

Isn’t that what these boards are for…. to an extent? To call out bogus points of view. And to challenge an opinion that seems to lack basis in any objectivity? It is not the criticism of our favorite team that is bothersome. It is when the criticism is perceived as unfair.

And the SF writer does show he is a bit of an amateur and prone to hyperbole to draw such bold conclusions from a meaningless game.
