[Game] Kings @ Rockets 2/6/2023 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern

[Capt. Factorial]

And now the refs can make as many bad calls against us as they want; we have no defense left.

 

[The_Jamal]

There we go Domas. Sengun doesn't have that grown man strength to compete with you

 

[TaxMan]

Damn. Houston getting every call right now

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Did they give out whistles as party favors in the refs' prep room?

 

[The_Jamal]

foul foul foul foul.

Game is boring. Let them play a bit refs

 

[Sluggah]

Been a few games since the reffing has been so sketch. I don’t miss it.

 

[The_Jamal]

Im ready for us to start being a good 3pt shooting team again. Just bricking really good shots

 

[TaxMan]

Finally kvon

 

[The_Jamal]

Hell of a sequence for Keegan. Great box out on defense, keeps moving and gets the easy lay-up at the end of the shotclock

 

[TaxMan]

Domas is back to his lazy reach fouls

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan might be the same height as Sengun?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Keegan might be the same height as Sengun?

i think they are both right around 6’9

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Keegan might be the same height as Sengun?

I was thinking Sengun looked taller, but it's hard to tell who is fully upright and who isn't during play

 

[The_Jamal]

Can't be asking for much better 3PA than we're getting. The exact shots we want to be getting within the flow of the offense. Just bricking them

 

[The_Jamal]

Effort level so much better tonight. Pretty clear the team got a butt-whoopin' after the NOP game

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Gotta say, Jabari Smith has looked really underwhelming thus far.

 

[SacTownKid]

Keegan is really attacking the boards tonight.

 

[TaxMan]

Gotta say, Jabari Smith has looked really underwhelming thus far.

He seems to have a bit of a temper also based on other games I’ve seen. I would have been ecstatic if he had fallen to us in the draft by now not so sure

 

[The_Jamal]

Gotta say, Jabari Smith has looked really underwhelming thus far.

He honestly couldn't have gone to a worse situation for his development. HOU basically has no structure, a bunch of ISO nonsense outside of what they run through Sengun.

 

[The_Jamal]

K33GAN
KVON

Life is much better when they're draining 3's

 

[iowamcnabb]

Even his makes are rattling in. Just a bit off but doing a good job tonight

 

[The_Jamal]

Really like how Fox is asserting himself. Playing downhill, putting tremendous pressure on collapsing their paint defense. If the shooting can pick up, we'll be right back to our league best offense

 

[SacTownKid]

You can see it, if this team can get that 3rd guy that can generate his own offense, this legit might be a contender.

Their lifeblood goes by the names De'Aarron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. The spacing is there when they are but without them, oh boy.

 

[Tetsujin]

This is pretty much the definition of a "get right" game.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Very good first half with Foxy back in his hometown and cooking. Now continue to stomp on Rockets in 3rd Q - no let up!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

He honestly couldn't have gone to a worse situation for his development. HOU basically has no structure, a bunch of ISO nonsense outside of what they run through Sengun.

That's always the risk that an organization runs when they play for the tank: ****ed around and built a losing culture, with no system and no identity.

 

[The_Jamal]

You can see it, if this team can get that 3rd guy that can generate his own offense, this legit might be a contender.

It'd have to be the right piece that's comfortable playing off the Sabonis DHO base play. Why this offense works so well is Fox and Sabonis are very willing to kick out to elite spacers for the best shot. They're not overly concerned with their own shot volume.

I don't really know what that 3rd "star" piece looks like. To me, I'd rather invest those assets into an elite defensive lynchpin that you can plug at the 3 or 4 and you create a 3 man wing rotation with Barnes+Keegan+xx

 

[Tetsujin]

Malik with a nine minute Snell in the first half. Aside from that, all our guys are producing.

 

[SacTownKid]

This is pretty much the definition of a "get right" game.

Fox just simply, flat out gets the ball into areas this team can't without him. Even on jumbled garbage. Fox has taken a lot of crap over the years but are the doubters finally seeing it? Dude does things nobody else on the team can.
