[Game] Game 23: Houston Rockets @ Sacramento Kings, 12/11/14. 7:30 PST, 10:30 EST

[FaStRmAn]

Remember when I said McBen would touch the ball the least of anyone on the team at about the 3:10 mark? Did he even touch that ball after that?

Totally frozen out. Ben was on FIRE the majority of the game but his teammates made sure he cooled off by not passing him the ball

Malone wanted five-second call on Rockets inbound pass. Cousins dances onto court and argues the point. In NFL ... worthy of challenge flag

 

[kingsboi]

Rudy guarding Harden is not going to work...what's wrong with Ben?

 

[fursty13]

Don't know what y'all want. Every team in the NBA will let a player ISO when there's 20 seconds left in the game.

 

[hrdboild]

Hard to harp on Rudy too much when he's chipped in 6 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 steals -- but sitting on 2 for 14 late in the fourth quarter -- that might have been a good time to go to someone else for the potential game winner.

 

[gunks]

Rudy Gay is ****ing garbage. First, you take a stupid ass contested iso shot, and instead of leaving 0 on the clock, you leave about 1s!!!! Wow!!!!! Rudy Gay has been garbage today. Coach has been ****ing gabrage. 2 ****ing wasted possesions coach. The other ****ing games he kept giving it to Rudy Gay down the ****ing stretch while Darren Collison was ****ing hot.

Rudy is a beast....

...As a 2nd option.

Trash as a 1st option, as seen in Toronto.

But fear not! Cousins will be back and we'll all be happy with Rudy's contributions as Robin.

He's had a decent night filling up the stat sheet....But the shooting...The shot selection...Ugh.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Drive and kick to Ben would have been the right play at the end

 

[206Fan]

Ben needs to be on ****ing Harden. Rudy Gay is a garbage defender.

 

[theclash4u5]

Game.

 

[Tetsujin]

Why are so many people leaving?

 

[kingsboi]

unreal.....I'm about done with this...just crap

 

[fursty13]

Welp

 

[HereWeBoogie]

we're done. Awful play calling in the final minute threw this game away

 

[theclash4u5]

Rudy Gay iso LOL

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Good job take our best defender off Harden. Good coaching.

Its ok though we are missing Cousins so these losses don't count.

 

[k_dubb90]

I'm done with this crap.

 

[Merdiesel]

We're dead in the water.

What were we up 6 with a minute to go? Malone is ****ing clueless.

 

[Hoovtrain]

An open highlight windmill dunk with a foul at the end for a three point play.

Or maybe just the ball in your best ball handlers (and prob best player without Cuz's) hands .. When's the last time a Rudy ISO, or any ISO in the clutch worked?

 

[c-webb1s#1]

well GG that was quick

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Derrick Williams on Harden. Coach is playing for ping pong balls i guess

 

[hrdboild]

I don't mind Williams or Gay guarding a poor shooting guard, but both of them consistently hang too far back to adequately contest jumpers.

 

[rainmaker]

I want some f'ng ball movement. Every single end game play is an ISO for gay where everyone else stands around. And it's been predictably inneffective. If your too busy drinking from your half full glass of look-aid, sorry.

We absolutely run one of the worst, non-creative, simplistic offense's in the league.

Without Cuz, it's highlighted for all to see.

 

[206Fan]

WHY THE **** DO YOU KEEP GIVING IT TO RUDY GAY. HE'S NOT ****ING JAMES HARDEN. HE'S BRICKED EVERYTHING TONIGHT. COACH ****ING SUCKS.

 

[kingsboi]

at what point do you stand up for yourself and say enough is enough? do the players not hold each other accountable because all of a sudden Harden just won Houston this game. Over and out. I hate basketball.

 

[G_M]

Pullovers I'd like to see the Kings wearing:

1) " I Cant win Without Demarcus"
2) " I Cant's Guard the Three Point Line"
3) "I Can't Make a Free Throw"
4) " I Can't Not Turn the Ball Over"

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

We're still giving it to Rudy for 1 on 1. Run a play for a change. Do something else to make them think

 

[Tetsujin]

Why did D-Will randomly switch onto Harden?

 

[KingMilz]

Rudy Gay reaching in on James for no reason allows a easy two pointer than proceeds to take another contested jump shot, good game.

 

[lwc]

This overtime could not have started worse.

 

[luckytkp]

I am ready for fire malone thread

 

[fursty13]

Good job take our best defender off Harden. Good coaching.

Its ok though we are missing Cousins so these losses don't count.

I know people want to dump this on Malone, but there are few coaches in the NBA who can outperform the talent they have. Malone's not perfect, but you're only as good as your players, and the Kings still have a long ways to go in that department.

 

[206Fan]

Wow...you guys are harsh. Rudy is the star on the team right now with DMC out. He got the ball, made a play, got a good look and didn't leave much time left on the clock for the Rockets. What else do you want? This is how the NBA is...

He's 3-16, wtf do you expect us to think???

 

[Rockmeister]

It's the Harden show. Kings lost. We just aren't that good of a team without Cousins.
