[Game] Kings at Timberwolves, 1/15/14 8PM EST/5PM PST

And worse part is how poor he manages close out of quarters and worst of all down the stretch in crunch time. Even Rudy said as much in post-game interview by saying, "he's young." Well, that's one thing but SELF-CENTERED and DUMB is another.
I love that rudy didn't shy away from the question. He didn't throw IT under the bus per se, but by saying "he's young." we all knew what he was thinking.

I am starting to worry that Rudy Gay will opt out and leave us for a longer term contract this offseason. He is playing like a top 10 player in the NBA right now.
I truly wish people would think about what they're saying. We traded FOR RUDY GAY, well aware of his $19 million contract for the coming year. We are not going to let him walk when he's showing exactly why PDA was willing to take a chance. I'm as sure as I am about anything that the Kings and Rudy will reach an amicable arrangement.

Would we have won the game with our only other pg in there?

no...so let's be happy and move on.
What does this mean? I get jumped on when I criticize IT by the predictable people and when he stinks I hold my tongue until now. He does not know how the run out a quarter or a game. It is a pg skill that doesn't show up in stats so what does he care? He got his 25 pts and it will be in the headlines. Damn it!! It wasn't that tough.
 
You'd think we lost the game, reading this game thread. IT sucked the last 4 minutes. He was good, although TO prone, the rest of the game. Might be on Malone for not giving him a breather in the 2nd half.

All things considered, a road win is very impressive with Cuz going 9-19, 5 TO's, 5 fouls, and then IT with a career high in TO's. Kudos to Rudy for picking up the slack

It doesn't matter cause we wouldn't have been in it without him. He isn't Rondo though we would probably turn on him to.

Sorry to jimmer but answer me why he only played 6 minutes? Are you implying our coach sucks?

Okay...everybody under age cover your eyes.

Dude, just stop. If you cannot admit that your hero nearly cost us the game, you need serious psychiatric help. Your hero worship of Isaiah Thomas is just embarrassing. You're either 12 years old, his mother OR you know NOTHING about basketball.

It wasn't about Jimmer. It wasn't about anyone not wearing the number 22 on their jersey. It was about Isaiah making stupid choices, doing stupid things, not focusing on the game and then acting like it was someone else's fault.

Suck it up. Show some cajones and admit your guy nearly cost us a win.

I double-dog dare you./
Oh, ****, not me. He's on his own.

Is this person just constantly spouting nonsense? I hate to put people on ignore as I can't see when others respond to the person but he/she is getting ridiculous.
In some cases, the user name says a lot. This is one of those cases. I-true is ... well ... unique.

Gay could walk away, but I'd say it's very unlikely. He and Boogie are clearly building a partnership and I don't think it's too much to assume Gay likes, if not loves playing with Boogie.

They both appear to consider this their team and rightfully so.

Grant and jerry were hammering IT too.
He's only getting this much heat cause his mistakes were that glaring. He's our starting PG for crying out loud! He should be smart enough to understand when to hold the dam ball and run the clock down!

We came within a hair of losing this game. That would have been unbearable.

I double-dog dared you to do something. Nice to see you can't find a way to do it.

I seriously doubt Ruddy will walk leaving 19 million on the table
You've said this before, and my reply is the same: don't bet against it. The smart money is to take the long-term deal. Gay will be twenty-eight on Opening Night 2014, which means, chances are, he's only going to get one more big money multi-year deal.

A responsible agent will advise him that it's in his best interests to at least consider opting out of that last year, and signing a 6-yr deal at $14M per, rather than to take the option, risk having a bad year, and having to settle for four years at closer to $10-11M per.
