Ray would have to be severely raw to not be better than jimmer, and even then Jimmer won't be here next year and ray will

hate all you want, but Jimmer is the only player with a positive +/- right now.

Not for long, if he keeps letting his $ shot go by. No reason he shouldn't have taken that j from the elbow.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Jimmer, shoot the 3.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Ray has got to play over Jimmer from now on. the guy has been given more than enough chances to prove he should play. and he hasn't

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Malone does not strike me as a particularly proactive coach; he nearly always seems to wait to react to what the other team does.

 

[swisshh]

Just pump fake n go against our guards. It's easy buckets.

 

[spudfan]

Two layups in a row for them. Thanks Jimmer, thanks Ben!

 

[cuad]

I ain't mad that Jimmer passed that 3. I'm mad that he blew that 5-foot shot and his efense, lol.

 

[JLoss22]

McLemore misses the 3 and then gives up the runner.... This dude is bad.

 

[nickmcclure]

Worthless stat and he's a zero actually.
Jimmer is finally looking semi confident handling the ball.
but he's an absolute liability on D.
He's getting burned way too often.

And I will continue to hate as he shoots anything but the 3 and plays ahead of Ray.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

SMH @ the doubters. This is the Bobcats, we're always in the game

Unless I'm mistaken, we haven't gained any ground since the end of the first.

he strikes me as the type of guy that uses a SF as backup C when we actually have a serviceable full sized backup C now

Picky, picky.

 

[treach1976]

Worthless stat and he's a zero actually.

So are the rules of the board that once I post a stat, I'm required to constanty edit my post as the game changes? That's going to be tedious!

And it's not worthless, it just needs to be taken in context... It simply means that when he was on the floor, the lead didn't grow any larger...

 

[sterö]

We need a shooting guard. Ben is just not ready to start...

 

[cuad]

Should have given it to Thompson for his long two instead of Ben for dribbling.

 

[Glenn]

It strikes me that we have had coaches since time began that reacted to the other team instead of trying to set the tone with a move of our own.

 

[dude12]

God....go to Cuz in the post every time with Jefferson on him....every time

I didn't say from when
We were down 17.
Now it's single digits.
It's before halftime...oh yeah
IT'S THE BOBCATS

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Thing about McCallum is he SHOULD be ready, or let me rephrase - as ready as a rookie can be. He played a lot of college ball. Been around the game at a high level his whole life. Was the guy his entire career, etc. You'd think he could contribute right now if he was ever going to.

We were down eleven, even when you posted that.

And, oh, by the way... WE'RE THE KINGS! Where do we get off taking anybody lightly?

 

[Chubbs]

Cousins first foul with 2:40 left in the half.

 

[The_Jamal]

Missed most of the 1st and 2nd quarter. What happened? Bad defense again? Looks like IT shot too much as well. If so, he's doing better in his 2nd stint involving others

Ray hasn't played against tough opposition even in college. This is a big adjustment. I'd sure like to see more minutes though as he won't get experience on the bench. Depends on what the purpose of this year is and for all we know, he has sucked in practice. I sure don't know.

 

[hrdboild]

Ben's body language right now has got me a little worried. He looks all kinds of frustrated. I hope one of the coaches went over and talked to him on the bench after he came out. He looks like a guy who's trying too hard and is doing everything wrong as a result.

 

[The_Jamal]

Well... Looks like everyone but Cousins is shooting like crap. Not just IT

 

[spudfan]

Cousins foot work and patience seems to be getting more and more better.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Rudy struggling

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Isaiah just walks away and leaves Kemba for an open 3 and Grant and Jerry say it was good of him to "play the percentages". wow
