No TV, don't have thee radio on, haven't dialed into NBA.com. So s tip off at 4:10?

I've never followed agame on our thread. How do you get the score?
 
Box score watching >>> actual watching.

It looked like the AD scoring barrage stopped when Rudy got move to PF, is he putting the clamps on him again?
 
"24,000+ sold out Rupp Arena to see 4 players" - per radio broadcast. Kings down 31-20 to New Orleans after Q1 in Lexington, Kentucky.

Carmichael Dave has been Periscoping it. Can't see everything but he keeps it entertaining at least.

Very unimpressed by our defense and Cousins.

I keep telling myself that it's just preseason and they're trying different looks but if this is really how Boogie is going to be utilized in the regular season then yeeesh.

The goal should be to get him easy looks and improving his efficiency down low, not making him more inefficient by giving him the majority of his touches in the high post and giving him the green light to launch 3's.

I hope Cuz can see that he's not a PF..he just isn't... I have no doubt in my mind that he's the one who wants to play further away form the basket. I just don't understand WHY. He's arguable the #1 center int he game..if he goes to PF, he's not even a top 5 PF. I just don't get why he regards himself so much of a PF.

We are having our 270lb center catch the ball at the three point line, and then saying ok, score if you can. Boogies the most talented C in the game, but suffice it to say there is not a one of them in the entire league who would thrive under that sort of directive.

George Karl thinks small. He's a smallballer in most ways. His offenses are built around guards and small forwards. For two decades his big men have been service personnel to let his little people run around unfettered. It appears that unable to offload this Cousins creature which insisted on demanding the ball despite being entirely too tall for such an honor, Karl's just going to make the best of it and play him like a 6'11" SF instead.

Methinks Vlade will put a stop to this craziness.

Doubt it unfortunately. Karl is the coach. Vlade will step in only when Cousins or his camp complains. That will only happen if Cousins is struggling with this a month or two in, and his stock is in freefall. Then we'll have a coach/star player problem.
 
Preseason or not...I think when I see Cousins has shot a three ball more than once I will die a little on the inside each day that passes as a Kings fan and become a Karl hater
