[Game] Trailblazers @ Kings - 12/27/15 - 6 pm PST, 9 pm EST

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Hey, let's give Cousins the ball from seventy feet out...

lol why he no score at rim?

 

[206Fan]

He is, allegedly, still a better option than McLemore. Or, at least, that's what I've been told.

Belli gets amazing looks but he can't capitalize..he might need a pointer or 3 from Omri.

 

[Sac.Kings]

DeMarcus should have took the midrange jumper.

He hardly ever makes jump shots off the bounce. Probably one of his lowest percentages. He's a much better shooter when set. I'm ok with the decision he's been killing them doing that.

Cousins has been a lot more patient in the post this game. Keep it up

 

[Sac.Kings]

Belli has been off for quite a while now. Just not making shots and it looks even worse when he takes his awkward twisting shots. I also hate his jump in the air and pass the ball thing he does. Gets us in trouble too often.

If a vet has a proven reputation as a good shooter yet isn't shooting well, what do you do with him? You could bench him for the rest of the season or keep playing him to see if his shot comes back. There may be other options. I don't think it is so simple.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Can somebody grow Cauley-Stein a new finger, or something? Even if we continue to start Casspi, at least that would give us somebody to bring off the bench above 6'3", since Karl has made up his mind that he's not going to play Butler or Acy.

When Cauley-Stein and Moreland got injured in successive weeks, Karl must have went Full Mercury Morris.

He's also got 21 pts in 19 minutes. He is much more relaxed with Rondo on the team. Hey, he even smiled.

Or...use him better? He's running around a LOT with 4 other guys standing still on plays they call for him instead of getting his shot by simple ball movement that he got with the Spurs and Hornets. Pick and roll (instead of pop out), hit the post in DMC, draw the double, and move to the open man. Marco is a good shooter but giving him crappy sets to run to his shot and then ask him to shoot fall aways while nobody does anything is not conducive to success.

Put at the end of the bench like he did Ben and let him work his way back.

 

[Bricklayer]

Seth has been our best SG tonight...

Seth has one point.

I'm becoming more enamored with the taking a flyer on Tony Wroten idea. Can't shoot, but at least he can play.

3 more weeks and he should be back.

 

[Glenn]

Does anyone else think that Cuz is earning the benefit of the doubt on charges?

 

[lwc]

I know we can't post links to watch the game but can someone post a link to where I can listen to the game?

 

[Im Still Ballin]

Definitely

We'll take em tho

 

[Tetsujin]

At this point, if there's a guy above 6'4" with the ability to chew gum and dribble a basketball at the same time, I'm willing to give him a try.

 

[New Era]

Wasn't McCollum one of those guys we passed up to draft one of the many busts during the past few years?

 

[Glenn]

Casspi needs to give lessons.

If you don't like that, you don't like Kings Basketball!

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Casspi is gonna be a vital part of this team's core. Huge team player that hits threes, ubderstands his role and gives 110% every game.

 

[Glenn]

True, dat!

He seems as valuable as Rudy.

 

[Tetsujin]

To be fair, last season we passed on Vonleh to draft Stauskas so... yay us?

 

[alonshin]

I like Casspi's game tonight- flowing, not forcing, good defence and plenty of hustle as always.
His stats are quite nice too- 13 points on 6 shots, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, +11.

We took BMac over him, I think BMac is better in the long-run.

 

[upinsmoke]

Why not give Acy a stint ?

 

[Tetsujin]

Yay, Marco finally not doing something awful

 

[Im Still Ballin]

I'm contemplating the thought of a Casspi at center small ball lineup

 

[Glenn]

The sg position has come alive.

Casspi is making a lot of fantasy managers look smart.
