[Game] Kings @ Suns - 11/4/15 - 6 PT, 9 ET

[Kingster]

McLemore is out of starting lineup. James Anderson at SF, Gay at PF and Collision at SG

 

[206Fan]

It seems like we're trying to match up against them.

Rondo/Bledsoe
Collison/Knight
Anderson/Tucker
Gay/Morris
WCS/Chandler

I just hope we don't get out rebounded... looking at you WCS.

@mr_jasonjones: Not starting Ben McLemore tonight about matching up two PGs against Phoenix's Knight and Bledsoe, not a permanent move yet.

@mr_jasonjones: Remember Karl said before the season he could and would likely rotate starting lineups. That's the word I'm getting.

That fool should stick to playing video games. I've yet to see a quality starter doing well get dropped from the starting lineup unless it was to allow a proven and tried vet who was playing well to return after coming off injury.

If Ben was playing well, he'd be starting. It's about as performance based as one could make it.

 

[CVKingsfan]

Ben not starting since his rookie season...hope this move wakes him up.


Edit: Karl just stated Ben needs to earn his minutes from the bench - could be just what Ben needs.

 

[sdballer]

I disagree, starting Rondo, Ben, WCS, Koufos is three non threats scoring wise and let Memphis pack the paint making it hard for Rudy and Rondo to pentrate.

If it wasn't for the crappy 2nd quarter we would have likely scored over 100 again. Our issues are bigger on d and rebounding the ball.

I've got a bad feeling this is going to play out like a summer league game.

Yeah, you've got to spell focus right if you are going to claim that it is key.

On the other hand, he seems like he is in good spirits. The twitterheads are giving him all sorts of advice.

 

[206Fan]

Collison and Rondo are such liabilities on defense..

 

[lawlman91]

GET OUT OF OUR PAINT

 

[HereWeBoogie]

our defense is crap. Open 3s and midrange jumpers for everyone

 

[lawlman91]

Rondo's lack of shooting makes it difficult for us to get Rudy the ball down low.

 

[206Fan]

Collison and Rondo are freaking garbage. Defense not played at all. This is unacceptable.

 

[NewArena]

horrible lineup. we literally have ONE guy on the court that even wants to shoot

 

[gunks]

Good to see our defense is rolling

 

[nebs]

3's feel like it always is landing on us.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Wtf was Karl thinking with this lineup?

 

[Chubbs]

James Anderson has taken the most shots.

That's fantastic.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

3's feel like it always is landing on us.

Because we don't guard them

I am not a fan of the decision making by Karl already this early in season

 

[Sac.Kings]

We suck again! Our defense is atrocious. It's really painful to watch. Rudy not closing out on his man, no one stopping the ball in transition. These are freakin basics of basketball. Stop the ball! Why does every single team, good or bad, get open shot after open shot while we have Rudy shooting one legged off balance shots in the paint with a hand in his face?

This is terrible coaching. Awful. Get your **** together Karl.

 

[VF21]

This is just not fun.

 

[nebs]

lol I am kinda concerned about us.

 

[SacTownKid]

They need to not play this small in the backcourt. Gay at PF is one thing but small all over leaves you incapable of defending the bigger man. They need to slot in Belinelli at SG.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I am not a fan of the decision making by Karl already this early in season

The first clue was Boogie Cousins being used as a perimeter player. i've been sceptical ever since i witnessed that happening.

 

[nebs]

ok, our bench I gotta remember

 

[NewArena]

Gosh i love our free agent acquisitions

 

[Entity]

We are getting beat by their size lol what a concept

 

[Sac.Kings]

Rudy is a poor decision maker.
