[Game] Game 23: Houston Rockets @ Sacramento Kings, 12/11/14. 7:30 PST, 10:30 EST

[FaStRmAn]

Stauskas has nothing in this game. He needs to ride pine

 

[Tetsujin]

Why was Nik on Harden there? That should never happen when Ben's on the floor?

 

[lwc]

Harden has become one of those rare scorers that nobody can keep from scoring 20+ in every game. The key is to make him take 15+ to make it happen. Ben is doing that.

 

[The Hammer]

Don't let Harden's point total fool you, Ben's played GREAT D on him whenever he's been in.

[jcwkings]

Our holes are obvious, backup PG, SG, C. Get a competent bench and health and we are there.

 

[VF21]

Another nice subtle outing by JT.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It is great to see that Rudy is finding non-scoring ways to help the team. 6 boards, 6 assists, and 2 steals.

That's what All-Stars do. That's the difference between a Rudy Gay and a Chandler Parsons; Gay still helps his team when his shot isn't falling.

 

[kingsboi]

so it's bench time now...one quarter to go...will they collapse again? Houston has not lead in this game....or if they did it wasn't for very long.

He is averaging over 9 FTs a game. Pretty tough to stop anybody from scoring twenty when they're getting that much help at the line. And not only is he shooting a poor percentage this game, Ben refusing to give ground has limited his impact as a passer as well. Really nice stuff from Ben on that end.

 

[Tetsujin]

Don't let Harden's point total fool you, Ben's played GREAT D on him whenever he's been in.

It's like one of those vintage Kobe versus Doug Christie/Ron Artest games. Sure, he got 25 but he had to work really really hard for those points.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Sessions i hate you. so much

 

[rainmaker]

This is simply a must-have, must-win game. Have to get this.

 

[fursty13]

Nice possession Sessions, are you kidding me?

 

[kingsboi]

Houston is relentless on chucking up those threes...gotta stay pat. Don't like the momentum right now...this is de ja vu again

 

[VF21]

Oh this is not good. Sessions is not gonna like that poster.

 

[Tetsujin]

Did not realize Kevin Harlan was an announcer for the Kansas City Kings

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Once again not prepared at the start of the quarter. Must be lack of Cousins.

 

[kingsboi]

so Sessions throws up two bricks and then gets dunked on...great contribution Ramon.

 

[Gilles]

Carl is comfortable again to finally be checked by 6'9" guy and not some 7'0" dude.

 

[KingMilz]

Bring Collison back in

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Nice possession Sessions, are you kidding me?

He had Stauskas open. But honestly, it'd be more surprising if he found the open man.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

Ramon got jammed on....how will he respond?

 

[Play Eric Moreland]

Sessions should be making pizzas at Pizza Guys. Not playing in the NBA

I feel sorry for McCallum because he knows he's young but he's better than Sessions

 

[rainmaker]

Ramon's tunnel vision just ****ing kills us at times. It's as if he sees nothing besides "ball and hoop, must score".

 

[HereWeBoogie]

At least that happened to Sessions.

 

[PurpleHaze]

I like that Nick better than our Nik at least so far in NBA rookie seasons for both.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Ramon got jammed on....how will he respond?

Hopefully by being a nice cheerleader off the bench.

 

[kennadog]

Don't like this feeling of a momentum shift. Need to put a stop to this right now.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I like that Nick better than our Nik at least so far in NBA rookie seasons for both.

We also would trade almost anything for McLemore last year too; look how that turned out.
