Kings @ Blazers (Pre-Season) Game Discussion

[sdballer]

I like it better when Rudy doesn't suck

 

[Bricklayer]

at least Rondo is coming online now, and Koufos is getting in a little scrappy garbage type play. The gulf in talent between he and Cousins is enormous though.

All our holdovers but Cuz have been bad though.

 

[jcwkings]

When Rudy is playing bad, he really plays bad.

 

[sdballer]

We're 1-15 from 3

 

[kingsboi]

What you may be missing is that Portland's announcers are awful

and hence the reason why I have decided to watch the remainder of this ball game on mute :]

 

[kingsboi]

We're 1-15 from 3

I guess bringing in only one shooter in Belinelli won't solve that issue, will it?

 

[chasen4r1]

First game of preseason, going to try not to overreact. Definitely a disappointing showing so far, but lets hope we can figure it out in the next couple of games

 

[kingjatt]

with Rondo, Cuz could average about 30.

 

[enigma99a]

When Rudy is playing bad, he really plays bad.

At least he leads the team with 9 rebounds

 

[lawlman91]

I'll say it again: Cousins is our best slasher.

 

[sdballer]

On the bright side, Gay has sucked, Mac has sucked, Collison has sucked and aside from Trill, the bench has given us nothing but we're not completely out of it.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

Ok so this Demarcus Cousins guy is really good

 

[sdballer]

Every time I watch Plumlee play, I'm reminded of how overrated he is

 

[Entity]

Still can't shoot

 

[kingsboi]

Casspi is playing like a headless chicken out there

 

[kingjatt]

This fast pace really is pointless without defense.

 

[Entity]

Bellineli moves like a sloth

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings have 17 turnovers and 15 missed 3pt FGs. Made one 3 and shooing overall 39%. UGLY!

 

[kingjatt]

Casspi is playing like a headless chicken out there

He's not really the only one

 

[sdballer]

Omri 4 TO's and 4 missed shots in 15 minutes. Wasn't SF supposed to be a strength?

 

[sdballer]

This fast pace really is pointless without defense.

Which was basically the theme for most of last season. We've got the defenders to change that this year so we'll see if it improves.

I may have to take back my statement that we can potentially hit 50 wins. We are down 15 to a Blazers team that was decimated over the offseason, but positives:
1. Cousins is still a beast
2. WCS is playing decent
3. Rondo looked like he was figuring some stuff out
4. Rudy can't play much worse even if he tried to

 

[sdballer]

Starters may be done for the night. Would like to see the scrubs claw back into this one.

Yeah, I'm still on the 35-40 wins prediction

 

[chasen4r1]

Bellinelli is looking crafty with his pump fakes and passing

 

[Entity]

With this much talent on a team it has to be something else.. I'm looking at you Karl. Fast pace isn't play to the strength of this particular team

 

[kingjatt]

hopefully Karl mixes in the starters with the bench and staggers the subs.

 

[kingsboi]

No Wes or Batum and Portland still hitting the three at a good rate

 

[Entity]

See they hit their ****ing open shots. Why in hell cant we. Not just this game but for the last ten years

Repeatedly I've seen the team attempt to go fast fast fast with no regard if the shots they take is a good one or not...it's really annoying.
