[Game] Game 23: Houston Rockets @ Sacramento Kings, 12/11/14. 7:30 PST, 10:30 EST

[FaStRmAn]

Now I know why Toronto was willing to trade Gay. He is NOT CLUTCH. He chokes up when the pressure is on.

 

[rainmaker]

That's not a bad look with the game on the line, going 1v1.

If you've got a problem with the set, that's on Malone.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Terrible play call, shooting with too much time on the clock, nobody on the rebound. AWFUL

get ready for a Harden game winner

 

[kingsboi]

Rudy has been anti clutch these last two games....

 

[206Fan]

Rudy Gay is ****ing garbage. First, you take a stupid ass contested iso shot, and instead of leaving 0 on the clock, you leave about 1s!!!! Wow!!!!! Rudy Gay has been garbage today. Coach has been ****ing gabrage. 2 ****ing wasted possesions coach. The other ****ing games he kept giving it to Rudy Gay down the ****ing stretch while Darren Collison was ****ing hot.

 

[lwc]

thank God he missed it!

 

[Gilles]

Brent Barry talked about Kings having to re-do their playbook after the injury. Feels like Malone just stole the whole playbook from Casey, and called it a day.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

He got a good look. What do you want a layup?

That'd be nice.

 

[Merdiesel]

I couldn't watch.

... ok. We're going to OT and we are going to win this game. Lets go Sac!!!!!!

 

[VF21]

Whew. That's an improvement. Now, let's go Kings. Seriously. I mean it. I really mean it.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

almost shat myself thinking that harden shot was perfect and was going in lol

 

[KingMilz]

Wow I thought that was on line for some reason

 

[SLAB]

Remember when I said McBen would touch the ball the least of anyone on the team at about the 3:10 mark? Did he even touch that ball after that?

 

[Tetsujin]

Ben once again with the ridiculous defensive effort.

 

[Hoovtrain]

This Rudy Gay one on one in the clutch bs is getting old. It doesn't work! Put the ball in Collisons hands and take control of this Malone!

 

[kingsboi]

overtime....didn't need to come to this unfortunately but I think the starters have been playing lots of minutes will they have an extra 5 to eek out a win...hmm

Oh, please.

Simmer down, son.

 

[fursty13]

I know Rudy's our go-to, but he's had an awful shooting game. Why not let Collison try to get something?

 

[theclash4u5]

Why does Gay get the shot when he's 3 of 14 (now 3 of 15)? And how is this even going to overtime when we have 21 turnovers?

 

[spok22s]

Can someone please tell me why we keep on going to Rudy Gay in the clutch for an ISO. Ughh

 

[Tetsujin]

He got a good look. What do you want a layup?

An open highlight windmill dunk with a foul at the end for a three point play.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Now I know why Toronto was willing to trade Gay. He is NOT CLUTCH. He chokes up when the pressure is on.

Yeah he is. Just not these last two games. But two games doesn't mean anything. He's had clutch moments before in Sacramento, Toronto, and Memphis.

And facepalm if that's why you think they wanted to trade Rudy.

 

[lawlman91]

The best part is how humble he is about it. Never says anything, never shows anyone up,...he just plays hard. A very unique quality these days

no time to brag when youre working hard at getting better

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Coach Malone runs a play 2 times in the clutch to a guy that has been struggling all game.

But Cousins is out so its ok.

 

[New Era]

Wow...you guys are harsh. Rudy is the star on the team right now with DMC out. He got the ball, made a play, got a good look and didn't leave much time left on the clock for the Rockets. What else do you want? This is how the NBA is...

 

[Chubbs]

Despite not liking the play call, that was a very makable shot by rudy. Just not his night.

The ball should have been in Collisons hand simply because he seems to be the only guy who can beat his man purely with speed. Get the rim, get fouled or kick it out to McLemore or Rudy! Come on Malone!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Rudy better redeem himself in OT. He completely blew the last 2 plays. We are amazingly lucky to be in OT

 

[sdballer]

He got a good look. What do you want a layup?

I want some f'ng ball movement. Every single end game play is an ISO for gay where everyone else stands around. And it's been predictably inneffective. If your too busy drinking from your half full glass of look-aid, sorry.

 

[206Fan]

I'm ****ing done with this trash coach Malone. All these games he keeps on telling us he doesn't want anymore ISOs, yet he always goes to Rudy Gay during clutch time for isos.

Yesterday for a game trying shot, he goes to ****ing Nik Stauskas and doesn't even run a set play for him.

There's been so many damn ****ing games this season where Collison has the hot hand, yet he goes down to Rudy Gay who's been ice ****ing cold. WTF is Malone thinking????

This is poor coaching. You're looking at it right now. It would be understandable if he was shooting at least .500 tonight, but he's shooting below ****ing .300. How the hell are you going to give him the last shot after he wasted a previous possession and has been icecold all game long??
