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

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

I missed it.What was said?

 

[Chubbs]

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.

Yet it's also true Memphis got better almost every year he was there.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Per G-Man, Thompson has passed Lasalle Thompson for fourth in the Sacramento-era for blocked shots.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Quincy Miller is a lengthy dude

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

Nice shot, Q-Mill.

 

[VF21]

It would NOT be fine with me but I would understand. And that just makes me more angry at what inexperience has done to our Kings.

 

[kennadog]

The whole goddamn Sacramento valley.

And Reno too.

I was thinking that, but.thought I might sound a little crazy.

 

[theclash4u5]

13 turnovers and it's not even half time yet....

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

Cousins wants to guard Curry badly. I love that.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

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.

Green and Barnes combined for, like, eight points before Williams was subbed out; I checked the play-by-play. So, you're telling me that Williams wasn't guarding either one of them?

Rudy is not the villain here. What we're seeing is a group of guys - you cannot even call them a team any more - trying to play a game with no real direction from their coach, who apparently will not step up for his players under any circumstances. He can toss buzz words and company phrases with the best of them, but it's pretty clear to anyone with eyes that Corbin has no real concept of what a head coach should do.

 

[Tetsujin]

I know he can't help it but the growth on Speights's head is really distracting.

Lol, that's quite a misrepresentation of reality you're promoting there. You're going to have dig a bit deeper to understand the real picture, which is not something I'm about to take time out from watching this game to explain.

 

[sdballer]

Dwill is useless

 

[kingsboi]

Williams being out there is comical.....he sure knows his spots on the floor that's for sure

Warriors have missed some open looks in transition from long. Kings draw to within 7 51-44. A bit concerned w/open looks GSW are getting...

 

[VF21]

I think the Warriors are tanking just to keep the game interesting.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Per G-Man, Thompson has passed Lasalle Thompson for fourth in the Sacramento-era for blocked shots.

Similar mostly below the rim big men. Both centers with of course, JT mostly at PF. LaSalle was better player overall IMO - saw him play many games at ARCO 1 and ARCO II. Also LT never spent half the game shaking his head in stupid frustration, never whined constantly to officials and in general never for a second looked weak and hopeless like silly JT.

 

[theclash4u5]

This might be the Warriors worst game they've played this season, they have WIDE WIDE WIDE open shots

 

[HndsmCelt]

Funny how that slower pace change things out there.

 

[206Fan]

The Kings are hanging out. Very proud of the guys tonight. Not giving up when your 2nd best player is out of the game. The Warriors are missing a lot of looks, but the Kings have been playing very good in the 2nd quarter

 

[Tetsujin]

Boogie inexplicably played the entire half.

 

[Swaze]

Yet it's also true Memphis got better almost every year he was there.

Contender better? Why'd they get rid of him for essentially nothing?

He's been traded twice in his career for junk players that should tell you something. Up until a couple months ago I liked the Rudy trade and it's a trade that still was worth it considering what they gave up.....but the more I watch Rudy the more I see that he is a player that hinders winning.

PS: Did I not mention to not be surprised if they play better once he left the game? Close game at half......

Once those open 3's start falling, yikes

 

[206Fan]

Do you see how much the Warriors struggle when they have to play at a slower pace? We have to make them play our game

Let's not pretend that Memphis was a lottery team while Gay was there. They may have gotten better after he left, but they were still a playoff team while he was there. All evidence points to Toronto being the aberration.

.@SacramentoKings back in the game down 56-51 at the end of 1st half on @warriors home court. Battled back from 18 down in 1st!

 

[206Fan]

With or without Rudy, Memphis was/is still a playoff team.

 

[kennadog]

I don't expect it to last, but I'm shocked the score is this close.

It's not Lent, but I've given up expectations for this team this year, in an attempt to limit anger and heartache.

 

[dude12]

I think that growth is moving from one side of his head to the other and back....it may be alive.
