When you're 11-15, you should get more shots.
But, you fail to understand the argument. The issue is just as much where Cuz is getting the ball as it is his shot attempts. When you have an advantage inside against the Miami frontline, the only advantage we have, you have to go to it. We didn't post Cuz inside at all until we were down 15+. That's on the PG. He runs the plays, he directs traffic, he sets everything up and gets it to the target of that offensive set.
It's also not the reason we got blown off the court though.

when have i ever said it wasn't? i have criticized our pick n roll defense on here for the last couple years. maybe you should tell Aaron Bruski this, because he seems to think that Isaiah is immune to any of the defensive criticism.
if you guys followed Bruski on twitter you would know about his unhealthy obsession with Isaiah. its like he thinks he is the second coming of Oscar Robertson the way he talks about him

I haven't been worried about Ben from the start. He's showing improvement, having peaks and valleys, but he's going to be an important core piece. He works his butt off. Lots of SGs have struggles in the first year. He looks like the real deal. I think his defense gets better when our big man defense gets better. We need another defensive big to help on the pick and roll or just our bigs in general to help out better.
To the best of my knowledge, Aaron Bruski is not now and has not ever been a member of this forum. If people want to follow him on Twitter, they're free to do so. I don't know about anyone else, but I couldn't possibly care less what he thinks of Isaiah or anyone else on the Kings. You seem to bring him up way too often, IMHO.
ive actually only brought him up 2 times. this instance tonight. and during the last game.
i thought it was relevant because while 99% of this board was complaining about IT's defense, including yourself, he was finding every reason to deflect the blame onto every other player.
he even went as far as to say that Isaiah was only responsible for 4pts and 1ast of Teagues 18pts 15ast the other night

A certain group of people who signed up here SOLELY BECAUSE OF JIMMER FREDETTE have consistently maintained that Jimmer just isn't being given any chance to succeed. Those of us who are fans of the name on the front of the jersey as opposed to those only here because of the name on the back have gotten pretty fed up as it has become more and more obvious that for whatever reason Jimmer just seems to be spiraling down further and further towards the Island of Misfit NBA Players.
We desperately need a backup PG or a new starting PG that will allow IT to resume his role as 6th man. We would have LOVED for it to be Jimmer, but every time he steps on the court just seems worse than the time before.
That's why we criticize him; that's why a lot of us have given up hope. Jimmer's poor play every time he steps on the court DOES effect the game.

Ok when he was in there it was a 4 point game, he did not look good but they lost by twenty something. No he did not effect the game with 1 bad pass. That is 4 points at the most. Right??? No he is not comfortable out there, he gets no playing time. I don't care who u are when u average 5 minutes to DNP's on most nights your not going to get comfortable. Yes kings need to reload on their PG's but not because of what Jimmer does. He is not part of this 7 and 18 team. Check the coaching and the players that play on the court.
You are never going to understand what I - or the vast majority of KINGS FANS on this forum - say in this regard. I really don't know why I'm even trying but I'll give it one more shot...
IF JIMMER WAS COMPETENT, we wouldn't have to rely on a 5'9" guard to do the heavy lifting. Since Jimmer hasn't shown competence, we're left with no other choice at this point in time and it's not gonna work.
Jimmer's not a part of the team? Gee, I wonder if Payroll knows that. As far as I know, he's still cashing his checks.

well he had 2 turnovers and a +/- of -8 so i guess there was a little more damage than that. he also managed to have goose eggs in all other statistical categories.
Yea, Jimmer is not even good enough to deserve playing time on a 7 and 18 team that is desperate for a backup guard. so what does that say about his NBA future?

You know, Malone talks about finding five guys who care about playing defense. The problem with that, whether you're talking about team defense or man defense, is that we only really have three of those: two of them play the same position, and the third one plays the star's position.
So, I guess you can put Acy in for Thompson, which might work against Orlando, since Glen Davis isn't a particularly forceful guy in the paint, and it marginally improves our held defense, but aside from Miami, we've got a fairly long stretch of games against teams with big, powerful PFs that Acy isn't much good against. We're not going to bring Gray into the starting lineup, unless we move Cousins to PF, in which case, we can expect a whole lot more of what Bosh gave us tonight.
I mean, I appreciate his sentiment, but exactly what alternatives does Malone think he has?

You're missing something.
He certainly does effect the game whether he plays or not as Malone is forced to play IT more mins than he should, burning him out, because we don't have a backup PG we can count on. Same could be said for Ray, but he's a much younger rookie in his first go-around so he gets some leeway.
But it's not just Jimmer's mins on the court. His lack of production is forcing Malone to keep him on the bench while our starting PG suffers for it, effecting the entire team. No it's not why we lost. But it is one of our problems which impacts us nightly.
