Where's the option:

"Wants to win, but has a bad way of showing it and usually at the most inopportune time".

 

[jon e]

wheres "sick off playing on a team with low basketball IQ"

 

[Vlade4GM]

Probably somewhere between the first and second option.

 

[TIG 19]

Probably somewhere between the first and second option.

agree

 

[Spike]

All of the above is the correct answer.

 

[UK_King]

I can't see webb wanting to get anywhere near this **** storm.

He says the things the veteran leader should be saying but doesn't(because he doesn't exist) and gets in trouble for it due to the rookie tag and character issue tag.

He's also a turnover machine who always points the finger away from himself, so I'm not surprised his "truthful" criticisms aren't taken to heart. The guy is chemically imbalanced.

 

[swisshh]

He is that, too. Well I am not going to call him chemically imbalanced for speaking out, but he is a TO machine and needs to learn more of what to do against NBA defense. My point is that he is having to say these things because nobody else is. Instead of hiring ex-coaches to soothe him, maybe the FO should have brought in someone with the balls to keep every player accountable. As it is, there is a tier of who gets away with what and not everyone will buy into that.

 

[LPKingsFan]

Yes, I think all of us are perfectly qualified and in a great position to know what's going on.

This is not to defend Cousins actions, but I'm sorry, Tyreke is a turnover machine as well. In last nights game Evans had 6 turnovers and Cousins had 3. I can go get you the yearly stats as well. This isn't necessarily a criticism of Tyreke, its just that accusing Cousins of being a turnover machine isn't revelant to this conversation.

Yeah, but Tyreke is a guard afterall.

Yeah, but Tyreke is a guard afterall.

The typical big in the NBA has an assist/TO ratio that's no better than 1. A decent PG in the NBA usually has one that's >2.

DeMarcus' is .64, Tyreke's is 1.7. For their positions, I don't find either stat impressive.

I'm not really defending Evans, but I'm just pointing out that a guard turning the ball over is different than a big turning the ball over, since guards handle the ball a lot more.

 

[UK_King]

He turns it over it less than Shaq.

 

[Tomcat]

He just needs to grow up. Respect his teammates, especially the few veteran members that we have. Learn to be patient with others and not throw fits when things turn out bad.
