[Game] Game 43: OH DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!!! 7:30 PST, 10:30 EST

[HereWeBoogie]

Wow, pathetic. Rudy literally quit on us.

He really did

 

[kingsboi]

It seems the Kings are crying to the ref every single possession and they wonder why they can't get any calls in their favor....

 

[PurpleHaze]

Rudy should have shut up his trap after the tech. Probably could care less since he departs floor with his $19.2 million annual salary still guaranteed - nearly $24K per game.

 

[Swaze]

Don't be surprised if they actually play better without Rudy tonight. He's always an iso player who is fairly selfish and doesn't play defense but tonight especially he seemed completely disinterested in anything other than his own shot.

Sad to say but deep down inside I think Rudy is more concerned with scoring points than winning games.

 

[Chubbs]

I think the front offices betrayal of Rudy Gay might be affecting him.

Getting kicked out of games has never been his thing.

 

[sdballer]

So sick of Cuz getting utilized outside. Get him down low!

 

[PurpleHaze]

And the wheels have officially fallen off the bus.

Don't Kings bus down to Oakland? This could be big problem tonight..

I think the front office betrayed the whole team.

Rudy Gay ejected. Can head back to locker room and stew over how #NBAKings duped him into extension then fired coach he wanted to play for

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So sick of Cuz getting utilized outside. Get him down low!

Took Corbin quite some time to figure out that Cousins is more effective in the paint than out on the perimeter.

 

[kingsboi]

saw that offensive foul a mile away

 

[nebs]

So sick of Cuz getting utilized outside. Get him down low!

Bogut owns his ass in the paint. He scurred.

 

[PurpleHaze]

HEADS MUST ROLL, THEY JUST MUST. AND THE FIRST - PDA!!

 

[Tetsujin]

Don't Kings bus down to Oakland? This could be big problem tonight..

Well, this could mean that Pete has to walk home and subsequently walks through the wrong part of Oakland, thus suddenly leading to a new Kings GM.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So, neither the points scored by Draymond Green nor Harrison Barnes count against Williams? One of them has to, officially, be the power forward tonight.

Green has yet to score on Williams. He hit a three on a switch (I think it was Collison) and the others were when Williams was out of the game.

 

[kennadog]

HEADS MUST ROLL, THEY JUST MUST. AND THE FIRST - PDA!!

I have no faith in who Vivek would replace him with. Could easily be Mullin.

 

[sdballer]

Bogut owns his ass in the paint. He scurred.

Even if I believed that, which I don't, he's been used this way since the coaching change

 

[rainmaker]

Sad to say but deep down inside I think Rudy is more concerned with scoring points than winning games.

I think he's far more concerned with the con-job PDA and our FO pulled on him to get him to sign an extension with us.

 

[PurpleHaze]

BenMac scored - can we have a drum roll.

 

[VF21]

Wow, pathetic. Rudy literally quit on us.

Yeah, and the front office lied to him and quit on him, too. I don't condone Rudy getting kicked out but this isn't going to end with this. I strongly suspect there may well be a complaint filed by Rudy's agent against the Kings, claiming fraud. And that would really make other free agents want to come here.

This honestly and truly sucks.

The only hope I have left is that this game is the final straw - the one that convinces everybody that they either bring in a competent coach NOW or face not only a backslide but a new low...and considering how far down we were, that would be saying something.

Well, this could mean that Pete has to walk home and subsequently walks through the wrong part of Oakland, thus suddenly leading to a new Kings GM.

Where is the right place in Oakland?

 

[Tetsujin]

I legitimately would be fine if Boogie and Rudy demanded a trade. They don't deserve to be stuck in this quagmire.

 

[Chubbs]

Do you now?

Go on....

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That certainly didn't sound like Cousins has Kerr's vote.

 

[sdballer]

I legitimately would be fine if Boogie and Rudy demanded a trade. They don't deserve to be stuck in this quagmire.

I would understand it as well. God, what a royal disaster

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Every time it gets remotely close Curry is gonna go off. They're just toying with us

 

[Chubbs]

I think the front office betrayed the whole team.

The whole goddamn Sacramento valley.

And Reno too.

 

[Swaze]

I think he's far more concerned with the con-job PDA and our FO pulled on him to get him to sign an extension with us.

What history does Rudy have in his NBA career in winning games? When has he shown any leadership skills that even remotely align with his basketball skills? Has he ever shown the willingness to make his teammates better?

Memphis and Toronto both became vastly better teams that played team basketball once they got rid of Rudy. That is a blatant fact not an opinion.
