Nope, people don't nitpick every thing he says.

Just the really stupid stuff.

Which, in fairness, is often enough to make it seem like people are nitpicking everything.

You mean like Grant and Jerry's nightly chat about Jerry growing up in French Lick?

I lol'd

 

[Merdiesel]

We gotta expect teams to start taking us seriously now. No more sleeping on our guys. Step up to the challenge.

I watch every TNT game, when it's not head-to-head against the Kings, so of course I watched the Kings' TNT games, too. I'd take those guys over the guys we've got a hundred times out of a hundred.

that's fine I guess, you can have people call the game that don't sound passionate about basketball and miss calling half the plays....

 

[steelevt]

A little off topic but why was WCS wearing a Los Angeles Kings hat? Can't the team give him a black and white Sacramento Kings hat to sport during interviews?

 

[VF21]

I saw what you did up there, trolling ? Classy fans.

I don't troll them. I have a lot of respect for them.

I don't think anyone on here understands the game of basketball better than George Karl, but god damn were we right on feeding the beast in the post. You're welcome George.

I think in the grand scheme Karl making Cuz do things on the perimeter will be looked at as a positive. He is now a complete player that is a threat from anywhere on the floor. He now has ways to attack the bigger brutes that used to bother him all the time, while still being able to feast on the rest of the league inside.

Could we try for 1 game as a experiment try playing Acy along with WCs and Cousins he can at least make free throws and finish around the rim and hit the odd 3. I just don't see what the likes of 2K and Marco besides reputation are doing to warrant playing time over Ben and Q.

I really enjoyed the Pacers broadcast with I believe Chris Denari and Quinn Buckner. They don't have the exciting outbursts that Grant provides (i.e. Willie's 1st quarter dunk "LOOK OUT BELOW!"), but their commentary is more objective and there is actually basketball analysis throughout the game. I just hope we get Doug in there when the new arena opens.

I second this. The pacers tv was nice to listen to, calling the game in front of them. They were complimentary of the Kings, and even acknowledged that Cousins had a right to be upset with how much he was being mugged last night. Quinn started getting tongue tied at the end, but the same thing would happen to me if I saw cousins dominate for 48

Yeah but did either of them happen to grow up with Larry Bird?

I said this a while ago but if Rudy was moved to that second unit it would give them a focal point of the offense and open things up for Marco, Darren and Koufos to have easier looks. I just can't see Karl pulling that move but he can surely stagger his subs. Something like take Rudy out with at the five minute mark and he returns to start the third. I think the goal should be for one of Cuz and Rudy to be on the floor at all times.

In perfect scenario

Rondo
Ben
Omri
WCS
DMC

Darren
Marco
Rudy
Acy
Koufos

I think that is the best use of our roster. We can close games with
Rondo
Collison/Casspi/Ben
Gay/Casspi
WCS/Gay
Cuz

depending on who is hot and match ups.
