[Game] Kings @ Jazz - 1/14/16 - 6 PT, 9 ET

Wow, just wow

 

[Sac.1989]

we won the must win game. I am happy. We didnt chuck 3s and were somewhat more efficient on offense and held some defensive rhythm.

 

[White_Chocolate]

RUDY!! God dammit. I had been talking about how he should be traded for the last few days and then this haha. RUDY!

 

[theclash4u5]

Rudy has been inconsistent but he's also the guy who brought Rondo here. If we're trading him, Rondo is going elsewhere. If Rondo goes elsewhere, Cousins will not be happy. So we are kinda stuck with the 3.

 

[Gliesian]

I finally get why the Joker laughs uncontrollably for a bipolar minute... he's a King's fan.

 

[lawlman91]

Don't let the last shot fool you...

.. Rudy had an O.K. game overall

"All we were worried about was offense and we let Utah back in the game. Theres no way this game should have been this close. We gotta stop making the same mistakes over and over again."

My thoughts on Rudy

The less he touches the ball per shot taken, the better

He can take 15 shots

Just keep the ball moving and be decisive

and there is our leader crew.

Demarcus Boogie Cousins

 

[Glenn]

It is a real shame that I am getting used to this kind of game from Cousins. I'm not appreciating what needs serious appreciation.

 

[spok22s]

Rudy freakin Gayyyyyyyyy

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We don't deserve anything, let alone playoffs.

Deserve don't have **** to do with ****. Don't nobody "deserve" to go to the playoffs. Somebody's got to make it, and it might as well be us.

 

[dude12]

Rudy - 24 pts on 9-17, 9 Rebs, 3 steals.....I'll take that ok game every game

 

[kingsboi]

the same day a Rudy Gay is being shopped rumor appears is the same day he nails the game winning shot...maybe that will boost his trade value now. Prior to that shot he made a three as well so he did come up clutch in the fourth.

 

[Sac.1989]

the great RUDAYUS

 

[jcwkings]

DMC and WCS will be lethal for years to come. WCS is an elite level defender in the making.

LOVED his game today. Hopefully George Karl took note today and we'll see him more

 

[mac]

I do wish we had a PG that could just hit a shot when his man is screened off though, basically what Trey Burke was doing again and again.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Rudy Gay is somewhere between 5th best and around 8th best small forward on rosters of all 30 teams in NBA. That's OK, that's good enough - #8 stays for now in Sactown. Meanwhile, malignant enigma that is YOUR Sacramento Kings in 2016 continues - where it ends no one knows.

 

[Im Still Ballin]

Cousins in January

Wow

 

[theclash4u5]

We dominated them on the boards and they shot 6 of 34 for 17.6% (!!!!) from 3 and we get the last second win on a basket from Rudy. A win is a win nowadays but come on, we had a 8 point lead with 1:20 to go. How many games have we lost with a 7-8 point lead with 90 seconds or less left? Mavs for sure. First @OKC game as well, I think. This is a start but we need more consistent offensive sets out of timeouts.

 

[dude12]

If we obtained Ryan Anderson for Gay, that means even less floor time for WCS and I don't think that's a good idea. Lets get more floor time for WCS.

We shot badly from the FT line. That played a pretty big part in not putting them away early.

Not to mention our 3 point defense continues to be horrendous. This won't be solved until we get a new coach.

Or new perimeter defenders.

 

[Larry89]

Good win, Utah is not an easy place to play people

 

[Section 101]

Rudy - 24 pts on 9-17, 9 Rebs, 3 steals.....I'll take that ok game every game

He also let Hayward beat him down the floor that lead to the 3 pt play at the end.

 

[dude12]

Gay also hit a game winner with .6 remaining.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Coach Karl said Cousins was first option but Rondo could see it was too congested so flipped it to Rudy who was positioned with right hand favorite spot on floor. Swish - game winner.
