How many defensive assignments does Buddy miss in clutch situations?
Im sorry but i don’t care if he hits 16 threes in the next game. We’ll never do anything significant with boneheaded players like this.
Why can’t we ever escape less than smart players? You’d think things would finally turn around for us on a consistent level after years of crap and heartbreak
Buddy “falling asleep” as Doug and Peaches described it is flat out inexcusable. I’m so tired of seeing players making millions of dollars and allegedly in the gym 16 hours a day and studying film making the most ridiculous brain dead decisions. There’s just no excuse for it.
Any scrub at the local gym understands that when your team is up 3 with a final shot upcoming that you need not collapse on a drive. WHY? You should thank them for taking a worthless 2.
We saw Justin James understand that fundamental principal just a week ago against Denver, when he wasn’t duped by Jamal Murray driving then looking to dish for an open three.
And James has only played a grand total of 11 games in the NBA, averaging a mere 12 minutes per game. But he already gets it.
WTF is Buddy Hield’s excuse? He has none. To make matters worse, the guy can’t even make shots anymore. Many of his shooting stat lines lately have resembled the bearded hag minus all the bogus trips the the line.
It’d be one thing if this was a rare occurrence. But we‘ve been critical of Buddy’s BBIQ for a long time. Because he does these types of things all the freaking time.
I‘m done with him. Consider me one KINGS fan with major buyers remorse over that contract. The KINGS will never become the team they strive to be with players like Buddy in the core. I’m thoroughly convinced of it.
Lastly, when the hell can Swipa suit up again? While Corey Joseph does play good defense, his PG skills are awful. He started the landslide tonight with 2 ridiculous unforgivable turnovers when the team was up 9 with under 2 minutes to go.
Can’t lose a game like that. Just can’t do it. But CoJo and Buddy made it happen. Thanks a lot guys.
