[Game] Kings @ Knicks - 12/4/16 - 4:30PT/7:30ET

[kingjatt]

So just gonna run cuz and collison all 2nd half?

 

[Larry89]

the rudy gay hero ball show

 

[kingjatt]

Again no rhyme or reason to the rotations, shades of the keith smart era lately.

 

[Suicide King]

One of the officials was trying to call that an offesnive on Cousins but was over ruled.

 

[kingsboi]

no, people who can;t see the difference aren't looking with fresh eyes.

Last year we had the TALENT to compete, and so when we wanted to we competed with just about anyone. but the chemistry problems were terrible and so we only sporadically showed up with that effort.

This team, on the other hand, may or may not be talented but it ****ing competes every night. And that's a point of honor. Rocky was a hell of an inspiring story, and he lost the big fight. but he refused to quit. That's always great.

Is that the story you will abide by for the entire season? moral victory after moral victory? Rocky stories?

 

[kingjatt]

Dont trust willie in crunch time PnR defense.

 

[Suicide King]

WTH was Gay doing??

 

[Larry89]

Rudy Gay just ran away from Jennings going to the rim to score

 

[kingsboi]

every time they cut the lead to three with a chance to tie or cut it to one, they miss and the Knicks capitalize. Sounds like the story is told for the remainder of this ball game.

 

[Suicide King]

Rudy Gay just ran away from Jennings going to the rim to score

I swear that was just baffling to me. I dont understand the thinking there. Or maybe I do

What is a guy supposed to do when players are inconsistent? He subs in a tall lineup and gets them back into this game and your going to criticize that? Nobody knows who is going to play well for Sac from game to game except Boogie

 

[SLAB]

Omg that flop by Porzingis!!! Lol

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

Yes Trill good layup

 

[Suicide King]

I see you Willie

 

[whoopdeedoo]

I stepped away from my computer when the Kings were down big, now that things are close again and the Kings look to be fighting I thought things here would be a bit more positive. But HOLY COW, some of you are just relentlessly negative eh?

 

[SLAB]

How the hell wasn't that a foul?

 

[kingsboi]

Cousins playing wreckless...Knicks respond in accordance

 

[Kingsfan23]

Cousins has turned into a perimeter player and his efficiency has went down as season progressed

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

That should be it.

 

[jcwkings]

Every time we have had chance to tie or take lead we have taken dumb shots.

 

[SLAB]

Every time we have had chance to tie or take lead we have taken dumb shots.

You have to take dumb shots when your best player can get clotheslined in the paint for a non-call.

What else can you do?

 

[Suicide King]

Every time we have had chance to tie or take lead we have taken dumb shots.

We have taken dumb shots, but not every miss is a dumb shot. We have not gotten to the point of TAKING games like these. yet

You know, I kinda/sorta see your point with your disdain for the "moral victories," but the team actually is progressing on schedule. The progression is actually quite similar to how we looked the first year under Malone: we didn't win, but we were always competitive. And then, in the second year, that's when we started to put it all together... until Cousins contracted meningitis, and Malone got fired shortly thereafter.

But, the point is, with the personnel we have, and a coach like Joerger, this is how it should look. The reason why many Kings Fans feel such a strong sense of urgency is Cousins' contract status: they're all convinced that we have to make the playoffs this year, or else losing Cousins is "inevitable."

 

[kingsboi]

Cousins keeps driving it against Noah with no success...maybe time to try a post move instead?

We know for sure Affalo n Koufus will be bad with the starters and dig us into a hole. We dont know if Ben will be consistant because he never plays(he could suck but the people in front of him arent exacty killing it either) . We know temple can put some pressure on guards but his playing time too has been inconsistent.

Full disclosure though its not all on Dave at all, we might just not be good enough no matter what he tries but at this point he has got to try something different.

For me not necessarily they have to make playoffs or him leaving is inevitable. But your playing with the odds, if you get equitable value now, in addition to bettering the picks this year and next without the extra wins

 

[kingsboi]

way too many selfish plays and one on one

 

[kingjatt]

Rudy

Noah has had 5 fouls for a while now, and when Noah and KP maul Cousins nothing is getting called in the last few minutes.

 

[Larry89]

What the **** is Rudy Doing
