[Game] Kings @ Thunder - Sunday, 12/6/15 - 4 pm PST, 7 pm EST

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Rudy on Adams ISO was not a bad idea. Half of the court was empty.
This is not on Karl.

Gay iso is always a bad idea.

 

[jdbraver]

We had 23 seconds to run a play and get a shot off.

The ball should have been given to Rondo to make something happen.

Karl called for a Rudy ISO.

I seen that TO coming from a mile a way. Rudy is a choke artist who can't make a play when it counts. Simple as that.

Really cuz Rudy had been hitting that all game.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Another meeting

No more meetings, other than the "good luck, good bye" variety

 

[jdbraver]

Gay iso is always a bad idea.

What? That is his game.

 

[Henkel]

Was his call to have Rudy dribble for 15 seconds then drive, no?

This is classic Kingsfans logic. Pick one scapegoat and hinge all failure on him. One bad play call doesn't negate the players inability to finish off easy looks down the stretch.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What? That is his game.

He needs a new game.

 

[Kingsgurl]

Eh? I was talking about Kingsgurl. Your responses are perfectly fine. We disagree at times but we engage in proper discussion.

I was proper. I was genuinely curious as to if we watch the same games given your analysis.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Rudy lost that dribble with no contact or anything. His hand simply missed the ball on it's return from the ground

 

[jdbraver]

He needs a new game.

Probably but that isn't Karl's fault

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Gay iso is always a bad idea.

All that is a moot point if Cousins just makes his oop from Rondo or hits his FTS.

Rudy was one of the reasons we came back, Cousins in the reason we lost.

The play call sure was.

I, for one, am eagerly awaiting @Henkel's response to this post.

 

[Rockmeister]

I don't understand why Rudy has the ball. More times than not, he loses the ball. The ISO is frustrating to watch.

 

[jdbraver]

No Rudy should have blown by Adams. Did Karl miss freethrows is it Karl's fault dmcnis hurt. Cuz ya'll excised Malone. Tell me DMC isn't hurt. I'm listening

 

[andjel]

He needs a new game.

He cannot have new game, never had.
Are you suggesting new team?

Scoring SF ISO against center at 3pt with open court is one of the better options with our dominant post player being out of whack.

 

[jdbraver]

I don't understand why Rudy has the ball. More times than not, he loses the ball. The ISO is frustrating to watch.

Because he should be able to blow by adams. He had done it all game.

 

[hrdboild]

Who cares who's at fault? It's everyone and no one. This team is not right. Even after Darren Collison made a big three to give us our biggest lead of the game with 4 minutes left to play the camera panned over the sideline and I saw a lot of frowns from our team heading into the timeout. We're not playing like a team, that's why we lose.

Whatever he should have done, it shouldn't have taken that long. The decision to wait until no time was left was on the coach.

I couldn't interpret the rest of that.

 

[Merdiesel]

Really cuz Rudy had been hitting that all game.

Yeah but he can't hit it when it counts and that is a problem. He just doesn't have that killer instinct and he never will. That's why when the game is on the line, you do not call an ISO for the guy. He can't take the pressure. Rondo breaks down the defense and finds a shooter. It's not ****ing rocket science, Karl. He chose the stupidest option available.

They were frowning because our team leader was acting like a ***** during a jump ball.

He was hollering at the refs for no reason, like its their fault he has been awful.

 

[DeMoN]

7-15. We are officially at the bad team mark. It's been a nice season guys. Maybe the West will continue to suck. We'll see.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

He cannot have new game, never had.

Why can't he?

Are you suggesting new team?

I'm suggesting that he needs to add something new to his game. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Well, I think we can let the playoffs idea/hope go because we just aren't a good team. This might be the most disappointing season for me in the past 8 years. We had so much to hope for and now even our worst case scenarios (prior to the season) are looking like a good outcome. I just don't understand -- we have good players, so why can' t we be good as a team? Boggles my mind that year in and year out, no matter who is on the floor, who owns the team, or who is coaching it, we still suck. Even the Jazz, minus their starting PG and C, are still winning, with arguably less talent. Why can't we just do what everyone else does?

 

[DeMoN]

Are you talking about Cousins? He needs to be in better basketball shape entering the season

 

[Entity]

Karl just said he don't know why Rudy ran the clock out. Said he has to ask him about that

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

... Even the Jazz, minus their starting PG and C, are still winning, with arguably less talent. Why can't we just do what everyone else does?

There's nothing arguable about it; they have less talent. They're winning with coaching.

 

[Kingsgurl]

Rudy shouldn't dribble

From page 4, and no one pays any of US to coach, but seriously..... end of game plays should not involve Rudy putting the ball on the floor trying to drive in traffic. He is only allowed to dribble once or twice to get rhythm when no one is near. You play to people strengths, not set them up for failure

 

[jdbraver]

Yeah but he can't hit it when it counts and that is a problem. He just doesn't have that killer instinct and he never will.

um didn't Rudy nail a game tying shot earlier. Really your response is Karl should know Rudy isn't clutch. Amazing some of you

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Are you talking about Cousins?
