[Game] Kings @ Rockets - 12/14/16 - 5PT/8ET

Looks like they are going to shoot another 50 3s tonight.

New CBA agreed to and then theres this tidbit

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 8m8 minutes ago
One of the feature of the new NBA deal, sources say, will be the ability of teams to extend players up to five and in some cases six seasons


Interesting if Cousins and Kings enter extension talks, Kings might be able to offer 6 seasons of gauranteed max money. More incentive for stars to stay put.

I'm all on board with this notion, longer contracts with the same amount of money they would receive in a 3 or 4 year deal (wishful thinking)

 

[Jimbob]

Well the starters ar'nt showing anything. Time to put the pups in.

Might as well...they have a better chance of making them than not versus the Kings, with their stellar perimeter defense and all

 

[New Era]

This game is really going to hurt Bricklayer's +/- differential argument.

 

[lawlman91]

ugh i could go gay for that ryan anderson post fade

 

[parker]

They are going to need a better Collison tonight.

 

[New Era]

This is embarrassing

Ryan Anderson can shoot. Ty Lawson cannot. That sums up last sequence.

 

[kingsboi]

68% first quarter shooting...maybe they can get it down to 60% for the second quarter

 

[parker]

Being down by only 11 feels a little like a moral victory.

 

[The Effort Police]

Hey, remember how with our cancers out, our fan favorite roleplayers were going to show a beautiful display of energy and ball movement that is better than Jesus?

Yeah, me neither.

 

[swisshh]

Not sure I can stomach watching this one.

 

[Alon Rosen]

My point of view for the first quarter - The offense is doing fine(Relatively without Cuz).
But the defense is Awful without Big Cuz.

Rudy and Mac, may easily be replaced with Casspi and Temple.

 

[SLAB]

Im not even mad at the Rockets for playing their BS brand of basketball. If the Kings refuse to guard the three point line, the Rockets should shoot 75 of them.

Play the rookies, plz.

 

[parker]

I don't think the Kings' strategy of hacking up 40 3s is the way to go considering they have a buttload of poor shooters.

Edit: meant jacking up, autocorrect thought hacking was more appropriate. probably was.

The offense sucks, what are you talking about?

 

[New Era]

Wow. Affalo is so bad.

 

[SLAB]

Forget trading Afflalo. Cut him.

 

[Gliesian]

Whelp, I couldn't have been more wrong about this game lol. Yikes.

 

[kingjatt]

Wow. Affalo is so bad.

How could Malachi be worse? time to run those guys out there.

 

[LA King Fan II]

Disgrace. Unwatchable.

Nice roster. Guys making millions?

 

[parker]

Disgrace. Unwatchable.

Nice roster.

They do have 3 starters out, but this is an embarrassing display regardless .

 

[SacTownKid]

I think it's time for the Kings coaching staff to go back to the drawing board on their defense. You can't survive guarding pick and roll and helping in the paint like they are trying to because teams are more than willing to take that wide open 3. This broken record is still broken.

 

[Alon Rosen]

The difference is that the Kings have only one star... Rudy is a nice player, as well as Casspi and Collison and Temple, but only Cuz is a real power...
The kings need another real star for being a legit playoff team. let's be real.

While Rudy, Casspi and Temple can complte the starting lineup, with Cuz and another star in that team.

That's the reality.

 

[SLAB]

Disgrace. Unwatchable.

Clearly trading DMC is the answer to this team's problems.

 

[206Fan]

I came here to watch our rookies...instead, we'll just get another record breaking game. Houston going for 200pts tonight

 

[kingjatt]

Temple is going to force Joerger to play him around 30MPG he is just head and shoulders above any other SG on the roster.

 

[206Fan]

If the rooks get PT, can someone comment it on here? I'm tuning away from this game now... there's nothing positive that will come out of it
