Like I told you when the trade went down.m, I'm doing the same prediction every game

We can't have 29/10 than 2/2 from WCS.. the motor has to be a consistent positive night to night. It's about getting to consistency for him, and hoping he grows into that 5 with some muscle

Welcome to the starting 5 Willie.

Hopefully he's more awake tonight. To go from 29/10 and ultra active one game to completely invisible the next is a little disheartening. I'm not expecting many 29/10 games.... just make yourself noticed.

Is there something I'm missing? Ben cannot guard the 3 spot.

 

[Entity]

No ball movement already

 

[VF21]

Well, this is fun so far.

 

[Entity]

WCS definitely needs a setup pg. like a Paul, rondo, Kevin Nash type

 

[VF21]

See what a difference it makes when they don't have to play in the middle of the morning?

 

[Entity]

Is it just me or has Ben looked like a real player for the last 12-15 games. Getting more consistent

 

[Tetsujin]

Joerger had a reputation of not developing youth in Memphis but his season here has shown that when he has no other choice he's a pretty good developer of talent.

 

[VF21]

Hrm. Ricky Rubio looks like Adam Lambert. Wonder if he can sing?

Looks like he has eyeliner on

Looks like he has eyeliner on

That's kinda what I was referring to. Are you not familiar with Adam Lambert?

 

[Tetsujin]

Voison probably experiences fainting swoons whenever Rubio's in the building.

 

[VF21]

Back to back turnovers by Hield? BENCH HIM! TRADE HIM!

Voison probably experiences fainting swoons whenever Rubio's in the building.

Most likely, considering how much ink she wasted lobbying for the Kings to draft him over Evans.

 

[Tetsujin]

Back to back turnovers by Hield? BENCH HIM! TRADE HIM!

He's already practically Steph Curry

 

[Entity]

Buddy is to anxious to do something with the ball. Needs to let the game come to him

 

[gunks]

I wanna hate on Buddy, but dang it, it's not his fault our idiot owner traded Cuz for him!

Dust off them jitters kid!

.....

There you go!

 

[VF21]

Has Thibs always borne more than a passing resemblance to Jabba the Hutt?

Hield's biggest problem IMHO is he will always feel the pressure (maybe mostly in his own head) of being the guy the Kings traded Cousins for.

I'm not trying to hate on Buddy but Vivek's staunch belief that he's the next Steph deserves ridicule

 

[Entity]

Rubio is so easily forgettable. Really doesn't excel at anything. He can do it all but isn't great at anything

 

[VF21]

Uh oh, Buddy's in Grant's doghouse. Thrown over for Skal without so much as a look back.

 

[gunks]

I'm digging this Skal kid

 

[VF21]

Okay, not that I'm complaining but shouldn't that have been a jump ball?

 

[Entity]

It's like he is trying to prove he can do things. Going to fast.
