Did Jerry say you have to make Rubio put it on the floor?

The offensive juggernaut that is Ricky Rubio

RUDY RUDY RUDY

 

[Rockmeister]

JT misses so many close range shots.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Rubio averaging 8.7 ppg and is a career 32% 3pt shooter. already 5pts and 1/1 on 3s against Isaiah LOL

 

[VF21]

Purple-tinted glasses view: I'm rather happy with things so far. Kings are obviously awake, which is a plus after yesterday, and I do not think they're intimidated by the presence of Love, Rubio et al.

And hey...we're winning so far.

 

[Gilles]

There is absolutely no reason IT should be playing so tight on Rubio. It's not like he's going to be able to hit those shots in space

Well, IT gave him space at first, and Ricky is still the leading scorer for Wolves. Ricky would actually be pretty high on the list of Kings' 3pt shooters. He just can't finish inside.

 

[Chubbs]

Pekovic?

Knew I'd seen him somewhere. Superman II.

How's Rudy's TS% doing?

 

[The_Jamal]

Rubio averaging 8.7 ppg and is a career 32% 3pt shooter. already 5pts and 1/1 on 3s against Isaiah LOL

Also has 3 TO's. But why would we bring that up right?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

definitely much more awake than they were last night. i'd sure like to see JT stop being an option on offense. with the guys that are out there on the floor with him, there is no reason JT should get plays called for him

Pekovic? View attachment 4773

Knew I'd seen him somewhere. Superman II.

Yes, that's the guy.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

You know, in a vacuum, we should never be running plays for Jason Thompson. But, the games aren't played in a vacuum. Not unlike what I said yesterday, when Cousins is matched up against a stronger center, he tends to be more effective when he's playing off the ball, i.e., for the offensive rebound, than when he's trying to post against a guy he can't back down. Let him find his comfort zone/wait on Pekovic to start to run out of gas, then let him go to work.

 

[The_Jamal]

Rudy!!!!

 

[Gilles]

Boogie needs to keep his hands up.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Rudy with a good start

 

[cuad]

No one on one play, please.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Would be nice if some players would move around on offense when Cousins has the ball....

 

[t-rex]

You would expect DWill to have a good game tonight

 

[VF21]

I want Jimmer.

 

[theclash4u5]

Sigh IT2.0...

 

[Gilles]

Seems like all Kings need to do is hang around till the end - Wolves are inept in close games.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

There he goes picking up another foul doing the same stupid thing again

 

[Entity]

Thornton did a great job on Martin here in the first quarter

 

[VF21]

NICE move by DWill!!!

 

[jcwkings]

Does anyone tell Cousins to stop slapping down? He goes for the slap down every time and he will get called for a foul 8 times out of 10, get the deflection once and get a lucky no call the other time. You are long, just keep you arms up and the odds are the defender misses.

 

[t-rex]

Jimmer please?

 

[theclash4u5]

Wow IT is killing us with his turnovers again

 

[VF21]

Oh good grief. I really want Jimmer.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

wtf is Thomas doing?????????????????????????????????

 

[The_Jamal]

IT GOT to give it up. They're running that trap every time

??? Cousins isn't even on the court, dude.
