[Game] Game 15: Sacramento F Kings @ Houston Rockets, 11/26/14, 5 PST, 8 EST
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
From last night, man, their crowd is awful. AD needs to get out of that place. The Pelicans have many problems, and letting Tyreke go isn't looking so bad at this point. There's all that talent but something is just missing.
I"m not sure Tyreke and IT weren't ruined completely by the Keith Smart era. Cutting ties may have been the only way to go.
We sure hit the jackpot with early season Casspi. Keep in mind, he's done this before and fades. Just last year it happened.
Very Paul Westphal of Monty to put a guy who had played 29 minutes this season into the starting lineup. Surprised that didn't work.
Thank goodness we are not debating the merits of Darius Miller (had to look that up) vs. John Salmons. Makes Dwill and Casspi look like superstars in comparison. The guy who's argument that Casspi is a bad player cause he's a 11% 3 point shooter was a good laugh.

I doubted the Kings last game but I will not doubt them in this one. As long as Ben and Boogie can stay out of foul trouble the Kings will be ok. However Harden has the offensive ability to go huge and drop some ridiculous numbers. Yet, I do not think he makes the players around him better and thus we should treat him like Kobe and let him shoot his team out of a win
That's an amazing tweet by Kramers... this might be a fantasy, but I hope K-Love can consider Sac even a 1 year deal would make me happy. I'm sure Cuz would love to play next to Love.

Media types and those who don't understand the game have been the ones regularly portraying ignorance to the talent which is Boogie Cousins. But guys who actually play the game? They aren't mistaken about his talent.
As far as this game being winnable, we're at the point where when Cuz suits up, every game against any opponent is winnable. He's playing at a true MVP level and is a force no team can contain. It doesn't matter who we play, when Cuz is in the lineup, it's a winnable game. Only time Cuz is contained is when it's his own doing or the refs play a hand in it. That's actually probably pretty close to a true definition of super star, that being the only way the guy can be stopped is if/when he stops himself.
We just need 2-3 other guys to step up to at least keep the defense honest. Who's that gonna be tonight?
Yeah, this is a perfect example of the other teams forcing Casspi's round peg through a square hole.
They seem to be addicted to the "3-and-D" type of SF, or forcing someone to be a "stretch 4", when they should be more concerned with whether the guy's a good player or not and helps the team when he's on the floor.
Also, every time I see Tyreke play, I'm more convinced of his inability to be on a winning team.
The guy just lacks that certain something (like BRAINS) it takes to be part of a successful TEAM.
He puts up the numbers, but his points seldom hurt, and his mistakes just KILL his team.

"Does want to"?
You'll need to read the tweet again. It's past tense. It's related to the draft. And as far as branching off into the assumption Love and other good players now would want to play with arguably the most dominant big in the league, the only thing which would qualify as "amazing" in regards to that is the presumption Cuz never would have gotten to this point where other wants to play with him as in "it's amazing Cuz is this good and Kevin Love wants to play with him".
If you think it's amazing Cuz became this good, so be it. Most here aren't surprised by him fulfilling his talent.
