[Game] Game 30: Sacramento Kings vs. NY Knicks, 12/27/14. 7PM PST, 10PM EST

Ben is developing a basketball iq. When he gets better the question will be raised who is #2 Ben or Rudy. Maybe as soon as next season

Ben would have to do far more off the dribble and creating for himself to be a #2 option, and he's not near a Reggie/Ray level yet where we can build an offense around his off the ball play.

Right now Rudy is far and away the 2nd option. Hopefully Ben can be a legit 3rd option within a couple years.

If anybody has any doubts about DeMarcus Cousins, they need to put them to rest right now. He transforms our team into something worth watching. And we aren't the only ones noticing. I visit a couple of other team forums and they see it. I suspect the whole league is going to know him before long.

And Rudy is doing so much better with the pressure of being the #1 option off him.

Rudy surprises me a lot. Not sure what I think I am seeing but he just doesn't seem all that good and then you look ta the stats and he is doing well. He has a lot of assists and I THINK he is trying to feed Ben. Someone has to.

poor ty corbin can hardly walk man thats a huge cast.

 

[VF21]

Damn, this is almost criminal. And you know what? I have no pity. Like Doug said in the pre-game, you beat them down and step over their corpses. SHOW NO MERCY!!!!

I agree. The ball handling keeps Ben from being a solid #2 option. If it improves, one day he can be.

Nik reminds me of Chase Budinger a lot

I hope Nik develops into Brent Barry-like. Budinger has been nice role player in the league, injury prone. Now retired Brent Barry much better career as starter most of his long NBA career - plus All-Star slam dunk champ

 

[Sac.Kings]

It is only a 6 point game... against the NY Knicks, who suck. What is so criminal about that? It's not like we are up 35.

 

[KingMilz]

Rudy Gay wtf pass the ball man

 

[kingsking]

I agree. The ball handling keeps Ben from being a solid #2 option. If it improves, one day he can be.

My only reply is... since Rudy has such great handles why is he always settling for horrible shots?

 

[Sac.Kings]

Collision's hands can't keep up with his feet

 

[kingsking]

Put Ben on Melo...

 

[rainmaker]

I agree. The ball handling keeps Ben from being a solid #2 option. If it improves, one day he can be.

I think the hope is, say by 24/25, can he be to Cuz what Peja was to Webber.

67. Most points the Knicks have given up in the 1st half this season.

 

[theclash4u5]

Whew, we needed that 3. After dominating the 1st half with Cousins and Gay, that would be tough to only be up by 6

 

[Sac.Kings]

Put Ben on Melo...

No way, Ben would be eaten alive. Carmelo is a top 3 scorer in the league and absolutely loves to work from the post. Ben would have no chance. You don't put Ben in that position. Leave Gay on Carmelo, he is one of the leaders on the team and should lead by example. If not Gay, then Williams. You need size against Carmelo.

Oh dear didn't hear about that.. (I'm from Singapore BTW)

 

[PurpleHaze]

Breaking News: Kings can score and give it up just as fast on other end. Hold onto your hats in second half.

 

[rainmaker]

What is a bad shot for many isn't a bad shot for Rudy. What you think is a contested jumper is a good look for him due to his length.

I think this is the first I have heard of Rudy's "great handle".

 

[KingMilz]

DC and Ben are such good fits next to Cousins I have no idea why we would look to trade either one of them, both on great contracts as well.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Knickerbockers average 94pts - they have 58 at the half against Kings!

 

[Glenn]

Gay is 7-10.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Of concern, Ben has attempted 1 shot. Just one.

We need a coach.

We need a starting pf soo bad.

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

Wow do the Knicks stink. Pretty good first half could be better, could be worse. No points from McLemore is surprising though.

Where is Hollins BTW?

BTW, hi I'm also just introducing myself on here and I'll be posting every so often!

 

[theclash4u5]

From CrownDowntown:

I appreciate the fans who do this but I just feel like it's a slap in the face of Corbin. It's not his fault that he was thrown into the fire like this, in fact I doubt he even thought it would be possible so soon. Ownership just needs to either give him a contract for the rest of the year tomorrow or hire a new coach now.
