We got worked in the 2nd half by a bunch of former Kings players who couldn't do crap when they played here. not sure what this says about out team and franchise
 
Perhaps we did not get the better end of the rudy gay trade.

If you only looked at cousins shooting numbers, you'd think he absolutely dominated tonight.
 
Ben gets at least a c/c +? I mean, for him? D awful as usual. But he actually put the ball in the basket 4 times. 4!!!

Orlando Johnson was invisible.

Rays refusing to turn the ball over is kinda crazy for a rookie pg.
 
Malone should would build better chemistry for this team if he would start Ray and Reggie. I used to think JT was pretty good at playing next to Cousin, but I think he is really bad example to him on how to play the game with his constant complaining.
 
Can't believe the freakin feed got shut off before Malone's interview. if i would have known that was going to happen i would have turned the game off a long time ago. smh
 
Ray is figuring out how to be valuable and earn himself time, by doing a combination of things that few other young players do: consistent defense, value the ball, and move the ball
 
Malone is pretty down on the starters and reasonably OK with the bench. Turnovers are bothering him just a little bit. :oops: He also is down on the lack of sharing.
 
Three of the dumbest fouls you will ever see in the first half by Cousins and that's game over we just can't come back from that the guy is that important. The whole team just went ultimate dumbass mode Gay/Thomas forcing and JT getting ripped by whoever he's on and doing nothing at either end. Reggie and Ray were good, Ray's defence was a breathe of fresh air but when a average C like Jonas scores like 15 without missing a field goal and your franchise guy always finds new incredible ways to take himself out of the game you get a ass whopping like this.

What happened to giving the guys playing the best game time how Ray and Reggie did not play more and start the 2nd half is a joke, Mclemore is pathetic I don't even know why he's in the NBA. Reggie is our best PF he impacts the game way more JT and is 10 times the help defender. Start Reggie @PF and Ray @SG/PG we get instant energy and good team play/
 
I wasn't impressed with Rudy tonight at all. He seemed to be looking for stats. Rudy had a couple time where guys were wide open on his drives, but he had tunnel vision much like IT and drove the ball into a crowded paint.....
 
The realistic positive case scenario with Ben, I believe, is that he improves some next season...and then we move him as soon as possible while he has some value.

I don't think he has it in him to be a big impact player. Just don't see the signs and indications

The problem with Evans is that he is a matchup PF. He may be ten times the help defender, but he's only one-tenth the man defender, and much of that is due to the fact that, half the time, he's not actually attempting to defend his man, but rather just chasing rebounds.

Now, against a team like Toronto, that doesn't have a PF that's going to hurt you inside, sure, I'd give Evans 30+ minutes, but I still wouldn't start him. Against any team with a scoring PF, I absolutely wouldn't start him.

I couldn't agree more, but I rather have Thomas off the bench. Ben gets better shots when Ray is in the game.

I don't care if he's a "match up" PF or whatever you want to call him he's our best PF and smartest big man and you know you will get something from him no matter what. The team plays better with him on the floor full stop I can't say the same for JT the dude is so wildly inconsistent and invisible a lot of the time.
