Yes, you can. You can when it comes across as disingenuous, which is how Napear comes across to me. I have never once, listening to Napear, gotten the sense that he is actually an unbiased commentator, but rather a guy playing the part of an unbiased commentator, and that rubs me the wrong way.
I don't know how "respected" Napear is, and I don't care how respected he is, but he is absolutely not one of the better play-by-play men.

I'ĺl take the W.
And I liked (most of) what D-Will brought to the table tonight.
He stepped up with Omri gone.
His D and BBIQ could use some improvement, but he shot well, made some very decent passes (a rare feat for him) and very few TO's (one of which was almost crucial, true, but stiĺl...).
A good effort!

With each passing game I'm really starting to dislike Rudy Gay more and more. His defense is terrible and his blase attitude and lack of effort on defense is even worse. I don't feel he is very engaged in the flow of the game very often and he just sort of floats through the games and puts up points on sheer offensive talent alone.
It's become super obvious why Toronto was ecstatic to get rid of him. Rudy just isn't a winning basketball player, he doesn't give you enough effort on the defensive end or do any of the little things that winners do.
I will say it again Ben McLemore needs to continue to develop and take over the role as 2nd best player on this team. I never question whether Ben cares and why he still makes mistakes here and there.....I know he gives you hard effort each game.

Well, all the Rudy haters are out it seems....
...I'm fighting the urge. Really, I am. I figure we have bigger things to worry about.
I'll start hating on the new (old?) Rudy in 5 games or so.
Or maybe Vivek and CO will pull their heads out of their butts and hire Karl. Methinks George could get Rudy rolling again. He's an incredible talent....But definitely a beta dog who tries to be an alpha with iffy results.

Good job, good effort. That being said, Gay remains a terrible defender and for a second time let Wiggins torch him. Williams is atrocious as well, my god. Just too many players that don't want to play on that end, at least not anymore or are just not willing. I believe the last Kings opponent to not score 100 was Detroit. I wonder how long this 100+ PPG streak can continue...hopefully for the remainder of the season because watching the Kings score 108 every game sure is a great way to win in this league, just ask Pete and Vivek! Cousins' rebounding hasn't been up to par, in the Brooklyn game and in this one it just doesn't seem like he gets the ones he used to.

Yeah that's a nice thing to do to your teammates........
If Rudy really has consciously quit on his teammates and is purposely giving poor effort......then he's a loser. That's not what professionals do and definitely not what winners do.
I'm not saying he is playing poorly on purpose but since you brought it up I don't think it's something you condone.

Right now it's painful to watch the Kings, when you are following other NBA-Teams too.
Grizzlies, Wizards and Portland are a blast to watch right now, cause everybody buys in, gives 100% effort and nobody is selfish.
Even teams with lesser talent on paper like the Hawks look great, cause there are no No.1 options, everybody touches the ball, everybody gets shots and the system is the true star.
I hoped, that the coaching change would alter our offense and would cause a less selfish, less iso-based playstyle with better ball movement and more assisted baskets. So far nothing has happened at all in this direction.
It's the same predictable offense and the defensive effort is much worse. Against Min we got 1 possession, where our ballmovement was en par with the playoff bound teams of the league. That's just sad.
Difficult times for KF.
