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

[ShastaKingsFan]

The problem down the stretch, is everything else is put on halt....and the ball is automatically going to Gay. That won't work when the other team knows its coming every single time

 

[SacKings384]

Rudy "Kobe Bryant" Gay.

 

[captain bill]

Let's not overlook how great McLemore looked tonight. Yes the Kings have been losing without Cousins, but Ben has stepped up over and over - even if Malone keeps icing him out at the end

 

[Tetsujin]

Rudy even missed Ben's shot!

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Another blown double digit lead in the 4th.

 

[ForlornKing]

Unfair to judge Rudy now in these situations....

No one says crap about him as a winner when he's the 2nd option and the clear cut wingman to demarcus. And guess what we were winning.

 

[The Hammer]

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.

If Cousins was in, we'd be going iso with him. You wouldn't complain about ball movement then.

 

[hrdboild]

Ease up guys. Aside from setting Harden loose with some terrible defensive switching in OT, this group played really well without Cousins. If Rudy's shooting is even one notch above horrific tonight, we probably win.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

I may go into hibernation mode untill DMC comes back

as in i may pretend the NBA doesnt exist

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Let's totally ignore Collison/McLemore for a guy who was shooting 3-13. Should we blame the coach now or is this Boogies fault for being sick?

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I really don't think PlayOffs are realistic at this point. This team is pretty bas without Cuz and we are going to pee away our cupcake part of the schedule without him.

 

[theclash4u5]

The Rockets have been without Dwight Howard almost the whole season and they're doing okay with Harden and scrubs....so.....

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Ben is 9/14 from the field. When was the last time he took a shot?

3rd quarter probably

 

[Hoovtrain]

There was a PG on him? What were we supposed to do? Ignore the mismatch? It's fundamental basketball.

Fundamental basketball is putting the ball in your best playmaker/ball handlers hands.

 

[theclash4u5]

I really don't think PlayOffs are realistic at this point. This team is pretty bas without Cuz and we are going to pee away our cupcake part of the schedule without him.

LOL playoffs were never realistic, even with Cousins. This team is better off going 34 and whatever and keeping our pick

 

[sdballer]

If Cousins was in, we'd be going iso with him. You wouldn't complain about ball movement then.

Maybe, but he isn't in. It's a coaches job to adjust to injuries. It's not like he just missed tonight's game. We've been repeating this same crunch time garbage for a couple weeks.,

 

[Tetsujin]

Rudy even missed that make!

 

[KingMilz]

3rd quarter probably

The sad thing is we are the ones that take Ben out of games not the other team. Thse couple games where he got less than 5 shots was purely due to us which is just terrible basketball. The kid gives his all on defence the least you could ****ing do is give him the ball on a open look.

 

[Kingfanpaul]

This is so frustrating to watch.

 

[SacKings384]

I can't believe that Malone can't write up better plays than just iso 3-17 Rudy all overtime and end of fourth. Unbelievable.

 

[Tetsujin]

Collison crapped the bed on that defensive possession. How do you leave Beverly open there?

 

[luckytkp]

I really don't think PlayOffs are realistic at this point. This team is pretty bas without Cuz and we are going to pee away our cupcake part of the schedule without him.

The only thing between playoff and this team is Malone.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Rudy is a beast....

...As a 2nd option.

Trash as a 1st option, as seen in Toronto.

But fear not! Cousins will be back and we'll all be happy with Rudy's contributions as Robin.

Too bad we'll be ten games under .500 by then.

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

The Rockets have been without Dwight Howard almost the whole season and they're doing okay with Harden and scrubs....so.....

They have a head coach, that instilled defense, even Harden, one of the worst defenders in the league is playing good D, but its ok for us because Cousins is out and Malone is a god.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Rudy "Kobe Bryant" Gay.

Exactly...minus the game winners and hardware

 

[FaStRmAn]

This was just an AWFUL game by this team. They are undisciplined and unable to finish games. They have little to no talent. Without Cousins they have been exposed time and time again as a BAD TEAM of Scrubs !

 

[sdballer]

They have a head coach, that instilled defense, even Harden, one of the worst defenders in the league is playing good D, but its ok for us because Cousins is out and Malone is a god.

You know, some of us have legitimate fan concerns we are trying to discuss and your shtick doesn't really help.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Collison and Gay got plenty of rest during the game. They just both puckered up. And Harden is showing them what it means to close out a game. This team is not very good. Other than Cousins, this is a team of scrubs.

And JT is not clutch either.

It's not Thompson's job to be clutch.

 

[lawlman91]

how a kings game goes:

1) lead for 1 or 2 quarters
2) let the opponents go on a run in the 3rd or 4th
3) game goes down to a wire
4) game winning shot by opponent

small variations may occur

 

[theclash4u5]

If Smart or Westfail was coaching this team we would be calling for his head, why aren't we doing the same for Malone?
