[Game] Kings @ Rockets - Monday, Dec. 9 - 5 PT, 8 ET

[Iced Espresso]

Do we have any chance here?

I guess get Capela in foul trouble to open things up inside and get to the basket. Have Cojo make life difficult for Harden and for he to have an off night.

also will need one of Hield/Bogdan to be shooting well.

 

[burekijogurt]

Rockets play small and fast so I guess no Dedmon tonight either..

 

[Iced Espresso]

I didn't think the team needed a time out just yet, but guessing Luke's upset about the lack of flow on offense.

 

[VF21]

Darn. Early impression is that everything that worked for us last night might not be working for us tonight...

I forget how much I dislike James Harden and his beard until I have to watch him play. I'm tempted to take the "KingsFanSince1985" approach...

Do we have any chance here?

Houston looked plenty vulnerable against us (without Baynes/Ayton) just few days ago so yes, definitely.

Their really the most overrated of all the West contenders.

 

[VF21]

It seems like every time I see Ben he's got a bandaid on him somewhere. Is he the Les Nessman of basketball?

 

[Iced Espresso]

Good Tucker with an early second foul, he's a pest.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Harden straight up waved his hand for Westbrook to run after Buddy so he could stand there.

Is that a celebrity?

 

[Iced Espresso]

Harden fouled Holmes how did they miss that? No one was around them in the paint, clear as day!

 

[Kingz19]

First time the Kings have looked good vs the Rockets in what feels like a decade. Not counting pointless end of the season games where Harden didn’t play.

we just have matched up poorly with them lately.

This is Les Nessman...

 

[L'Optimisme]

I'm just consistently impressed with the Kings defense this year and I realize that sounds like an oxymoron... but the evidence is right in front of me every night.... and tonight on the back of a back to back against the high octane Texas teams. This is exactly the type of game where you might expect a little emotional/physical hangover from a gritty win the night before... but I'm seeing all the same crisp rotations, hard close-outs, active hands, talking, and staying down on defense I've seen all year. Who knew Walton was such a good defensive coach???

 

[Iced Espresso]

There's the Ben we all know.

 

[VF21]

OMG. Harden flops more than a fish on a dock.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Ariza revenge game?

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Really surprised we’re up. We always suck against Houston.

 

[Sluggah]

This is Les Nessman...

I expected more bandaids

 

[Iced Espresso]

The officials irritate me sometimes. One had a clear view of the Holmes foul, the one who blew the whistle was standing at an angle where Holmes back was probably blocking most of the view of the foul.

 

[Sluggah]

Holmes not getting much ref love tonight.

 

[VF21]

I expected more bandaids

I think it was on his hand in that episode.

 

[VF21]

Houston has some of the clumsiest players in the league or the worst floppers.

 

[kingsboi]

looks like some random dude named Clark will have his career night

 

[miltonap]

whos #6 he keeps hitting threes

 

[burekijogurt]

Clark shooting like Good Ben

 

[Kingz19]

Sounds like he already has his career night. He averages 3 points per game

 

[Kingz19]

whos #6 he keeps hitting threes

Our next 3 year 50 million dollar signing

 

[jcwkings]

Clark, random dude no one's heard of who hits ten threes on the Kings. It's a tradition.
