[Game] Kings v. 76ers - 12/26/16 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

I go back and forth with Rudy.. the record without him is good. Part of me though think he's a talented player that could still work if incorporated properly

 

[kingsboi]

Rudy will try to play tonight according to Jones

there goes a better chance of winning this :|

You can bring in multiple different coaches, all with different schemes. The one constant is the inability of Gay and Cousins to mesh together that result in consistently winning games.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Ah man. Wish Rudy wasn't playing. The team looks great without him.

Jason Jones ‏@mr_jasonjones 30m30 minutes ago
Joel Embiid, 28 minute limit restriction, Joerger says Rudy Gay (hip) will try to play tonight

I too have mixed feelings about Rudy Gay. The team has seemed to come together without him out there and I will not be a happy camper if he plays tonight and we see a return to the things like ISO Rudy that drove me totally insane.

 

[Larry89]

I have mixed feelings about Rudy...

You would think at some point Rudy has to take a long look in the mirror and say to himself his style is not conducive to winning basketball. Its a shame because he has the physical tools to affect the game in different ways.

How many years is he in the league now, lol that ain't happening

He has the physical tools but I honestly don't know if he has the hunger.

It would closer to the truth to say that the one constant has been our inability to surround Cousins and Gay with 3 more NBA level starters/10 more NBA level players.

 

[Kingsfan23]

It would also give the team a boost for Collison to get his head out of his butt

I understand he's been through an ordeal to start the season, but gotta go to work

Here's my 2 cents... when he came to this team he was like many that do in need of some credit rehabilitation. His first year he was highly effective and efficient. Then ego took over along with the coaching instability and once again he went wild back to the bad traits that made him a disaster. He didn't think we could win so he might as well take care of himself and it sucked.

Now which the team being on a roll without him I think he realizes that he's going to have to play team ball tonight and moving forward otherwise it would be an indictment on his play. So... I think ultimately he has to be traded but until then he will do whatever he can to not be the reason we lose and play team ball.

Hopefully

 

[VF21]

Hopefully

I hope you're right.

True, but I think with Rudy his game has always been one of isolation... as in he takes bad shots all the time and really doesn't seem to care about the degree of difficulty. The problem is the results part of it. He just doesn't produce and as much as he loves to isolate, the effect is that it completely stops our offense. Rudy is at best the 3rd guy in the pecking order. Unfortunately for us, we have always used him as a number 2 option, which is where your point comes into play.

I would love it if he can come in with a team approach but I'm not holding my breath. That's not his game and never has been. Not good at creating, dribbling, or passing really limits him and in effect, the team. He would be great off the bench where he can be the number one option.

 

[sactownfan]

I hope you're right.

He has to know right at this moment the spot light will be pointed directly at him as the fault... he's not dumb. I think he mentally stopped caring about the team. Last year and this until now...

 

[miltonap]

If we lose, it's Rudy Gay's fault

 

[SLAB]

DMC vs Embiid should be good! I'm excited!

 

[whoopdeedoo]

DMC vs Embiid should be good! I'm excited!

Me too, I hope they don't get in foul trouble.

 

[sactownfan]

I absolutely love the the last two guys to touch hands with the starters are Anthony Tolliver and garret temple. Two classy guys right there

 

[Tetsujin]

Spanish Chocolate's beard is ridiculous.

 

[SLAB]

Kosta's starting to find his way in the starting 5.

 

[fansinceday1]

just kinda sums up McLemores career here.....

 

[kingsboi]

looks like Ben will make an appearance on Shaqtin' a fool for the next segment

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Really, McLemore?

 

[Larry89]

I don't blame ben there , I saw the Red Predator Reticle on his head, I would've ducked too

 

[SLAB]

"It's not what the team do to fit Rudy, it's what can Rudy do to fit the team."

Good start.

 

[sactownfan]

Rudy Gay understands what's up with his roll so far..... don't f it up

 

[Tetsujin]

The Cousins/Koufus frontcourt works when one of the opponents is notorious poor defender Jahlil Okafor

 

[The Hammer]

Get ready for a massive blowout.

As we all know, and was reaffirmed the past two games, I am never wrong.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The Red what?
