[Game] Kings @ Timberwolves - 12/23/16 - 5PT/8ET

So is Vlade and co. working the phones on a Rudy trade yet? We play so much better without him but it would be nice to get a rotation piece or two in return.

 

[Gliesian]

Our dudes sweat like crazy and got what they deserve- a great win! The fourth quarter choking of seasons past are no more!

 

[parker]

A big difference the last four wins is the kings play in the last 2 minutes. Much less forcing or hero ball.

 

[Suicide King]

Why is Jerry now in studio?

I think he still had Christmas shopping to do so did not make the road trip.

Seriously though I think they were testing out Doug possibly taking over down the line over a 3 game stretch.

 

[dude12]

The case of a team playing better when Gay is out or traded continues .

The Rudy Gay bump is a thing

 

[fansinceday1]

whats gonna happen when rudy comes back and everything goes back to normal?

Fire up them Rudy Gay trade rumors lol.

I think it really depends on how we play when he comes back. If it looks different and we lose 4 out of the next 5, then pull the trigger on the best deal.

Trade Rudy+DC for Dragic. Trade Afflalo+Papagiannis for Crabbe. who says no......

I'm hoping they can just bring him off the bench until he gets traded.

 

[Glenn]

You weren't looking hard enough. He was on the floor. Sitting in a chair on the sideline. But ON THE FLOOR.

I am never wrong.

I didn't say you were wrong. I just was commenting on my vision.

 

[Hoovtrain]

I mean, the NBA travel schedule isn't exactly easy and Jerry's 73 years old.

Ok ...so is it permanent or what?

 

[dude12]

You know Rudy said he isn't coming back....so why let him be part of this?

 

[Hoovtrain]

I am guessing he is winding down his incredibly long time with the Kings. He's 73 and by staying in the studio, he doesn't have to travel.

Yeah I was thinking that as well...was curious if this is now permanent

 

[lawlman91]

what a time to be alive

 

[dude12]

I'm hoping they can just bring him off the bench until he gets traded.

He'd screw up the bench...those guys are moving the ball and balling out....I think he ruins it

 

[206Fan]

You know Rudy said he isn't coming back....so why let him be part of this?

Yeah, honestly, even if we went on a 5 game losing streak without Rudy, we should still trade him. Regardless of what happens, we absolutely need to trade Rudy. The guy already made his intentions clear of not coming back.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Trade Rudy+DC for Dragic. Trade Afflalo+Papagiannis for Crabbe. who says no......

Uhm... Portland?

 

[Section 101]

Why is Jerry now in studio?

Doug is doing 10 games this year.

[Gliesian]

Did Rudy say he wouldn't play for the Kings? I thought it was just a contract issue

 

[Tetsujin]

Now the Hawks and Spurs just need to win.

 

[The Hammer]

I didn't say you were wrong. I just was commenting on my vision.

Best. Response. Ever.

I bow to you.

 

[lwc]

Glad to see the Kings now in 8th place. We really need the Jazz and Blazers to start losing some games. They are 5 games ahead of 8th place. That is hard to catch. Do-able, but tough.

I fully expected the Grizzlies to struggle around 7th or 8th or even fall off. At 8 games over .500, they look solidly in the playoffs right now. Will the Thunder keep up this pace all season? Will the Kings, Blazers, or Nuggets make the 8th seed. I cannot wait to find out.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Now the Hawks and Spurs just need to win.

Hawks and Nuggets tied after three.

 

[andjel]

Ok ...so is it permanent or what?

nah, he will be 74 next year

 

[miltonap]

Had to miss the 2nd half. Saw we were down by 7 at the end of the 3rd. What was the difference? Saw Tolliver had 17 points too, that's awesome to see him stepping up

 

[Larry89]

I think Doug is eventually going to do the away games while Jerry does the home games the Travel time cant be good for Jerry at 73
