Game -5: Sacramento Kings v. Brooklyn Nets. 10/11/14 10 PM PST 1PM Chinese Time (I Think)

[Sluggah]

Ben looked like maybe his handle has improved.

 

[The_Jamal]

More concerning is Rudy's shot selection. Game 3 now of him being "bad Rudy" and forcing up junk when he touches the ball.

 

[macadocious]

WTF? Whoever that little toad is, not sure why he made the "Vlade flopped on the way back to his seat" comment. Turd.

I thought it was funny.

 

[rainmaker]

Great move by Ben, but didn't even hit rim. Really doesn't have touch within 5ft.

 

[KingMilz]

Rudy Gay has forced every single shot this game...smh

 

[Monster]

Man, I really like Collison. I keep hearing people call him "stop gap PG". I don't believe that at all. He could be a solid starter in this league. Maybe not a star, but still...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Some people seem to take the pre-season or EXHIBITION season way too seriously. I liked to reminder that this is no more than a scrimmage in the grand scheme of things.

Ah, so. I thought you were objecting to the use of the term "exhibition."

I have been voicing these concerns since he was on team USA, at least we somewhat agree on something

I think we've already established that you and I have entirely different concepts of humor.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

i love ryan hollins.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Interior defense has gotten marginally better since Malone decided to take the Twin Duplexes off the court.

 

[206Fan]

It worked for Baron Davis.

and it's worked for Williams too. Baron Davis wasn't really fat.. Williams is on the heavier side.. but I think that's what helps him against smaller guards

 

[Monster]

a lot of clanked jump shots tonight.

 

[VF21]

For all the miscues, dumb shots, bad plays, etc. it's still a close game.

Or, we're facing BK's C team. I think Teletovic is the only guy who's planned to even be in their rotation this year

 

[KingMilz]

Hollins with the facial???

Brooklyn's C-Team was still killing the Duplexes.

 

[KingMilz]

Our PG play has pretty much keep us afloat in all of our Preseason games so far

 

[206Fan]

What the hell is this?? Easy shots for our bigs??

 

[jcwkings]

Hollins may not be the best player, but he is 7'0 with length and plays hard.

 

[206Fan]

everyone has struggled this game except our PGs. They've been on fire with exceptions to missed FTs

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Can we get Hollins ahead of Landry in the rotation?

P-p-p-please?

 

[jcwkings]

Cousins and Gay gave us nothing and only down 4. This pre season has been thr opposite of last season, Gay and Cuz playing bad and the roleplayers showing up. You would hope both of them will be ready opening night.

Maybe in certain match ups?

 

[kingsboi]

fast paced first half, I'd like to see more Hollins and less Landry.

Maybe team USA has taken a toll out of them. I wouldn't mind if they both sat out for the rest of the preseason games. They need some rest

Well...Cuz has hardly played and it looks like Malone is trying different combinations. Collision and Sessions and Ben together with Gay as the 4 had its moments of good play. We have different combinations we can put out there, some better than others.

That's why I'm not worried at all about rotations yet. Obviously we're experimenting with different lineups and we're holding back Rudy and Cuz's minutes. The big downside of so much turnover on a roster is you have no idea what lineups actually work.

 

[VF21]

Can we get Hollins ahead of Landry in the rotation?

P-p-p-please?

Sure. All we have to do is find the cache of pictures Carl Landry has stashed away.

 

[Sluggah]

anyone able to find a box score?
