I'mma say it again.. Kings got a PG with McCallum







-What's up with the Wolves though? We didn't even have Blake and Rubio is a backup at best

I swear y'all watch one game and think this is how he's played for 82.

I can't recall the last player that seemingly nobody views either rationally or wants to see succeed as much as Rubio.

Clearly this ain't true. Lin had some strong fans here, still do even after he left NY
Seems like Rubio always gets a pass to me. He'll perform a nice no look pass for a highlight play that makes ESPN Top Ten plays of the day and everybody will do a :noah: and he'll get move wiggle room. But that jumper is still broke and he ain't lockin' down nobody

The fallacy of all of this is that because of Adelman, Rubio hasn't really done much flashy shyt this season at all. He's actually afraid to do it now because every time he tries it, he gets yanked by Adelman to play JJ Barea.

and as for the jumper, well, since he's gone to a shooting coach for help, he's finishing better at the rim and is shooting 43% since the all-star break (which is HUGE for him).(and here's the irony: the 3rd best three point shooter on the team is him)

And biggest fact: he's the only one in that starting lineup that plays defense. He's trying to play defense for 4 other people.

See what I'm talking about? This is why I can never take this shyt seriously.

What's Isiah Thomas' status? Is he a restricted free agent? McCallum is a much better fit so far with high upside

Earlier in the season , he was going to be locked up as part of the Kings "big 3' (Cuz,Gay,IT) I work near the site where the new arena is going to be built at and all three got banners all over that mall. The organization didn't expect McCallum to develop as fast as he has. In the beginning of the season, he was on the team's D-League team in Reno, even though he lit it up when he played for that squad.


The Kings weren't too shy about dealing IT around the trade deadline, I won't be surprised if Pete decides to finally part ways but personally, I want them to keep both and have them play with each other like how the Kings played Bibby & Bobby Jackson during the good 'ol days.

But that depends on how much IT is looking for in a contract extension :lupe:

:myman:Calm down playboy.. we just havin' some fun out chea. We ain't even watched the Wolves like that. We just hear "Rubio, Rubio, Rubio all the damn time.. when we finally sit down to see what he can do we were left with the :rudy:face.

I thought Shabazz was starting to do his thing. Did he even get off the bench?

Where?

and Shabazz played 12 minutes of garbage time. Scored 11 points, but the surprise is that he actually played 12 minutes
