[Game] 29/82: Kings vs. Rockets 21 DEC 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[ShastaKingsFan]

We are to Houston what the Pelicans were to us. We tend to play them tough even when the talent doesn’t match

Except the Pelicans talent a couple years ago did match up well

 

[coolhandluke]

Nique is special with his passing

 

[Tetsujin]

Max is eventually going to be really switchable

 

[Sluggah]

Max short on everything tonight

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Shroder bugs the hell out of me

 

[Sluggah]

Well…almost everything

 

[coolhandluke]

Shroder bugs the hell out of me

Yeah, take the open shut buddy

 

[The_Jamal]

Everyone figuring out that Max is an elite roll man and feeding him. We love to see it

 

[Tetsujin]

Reed Sheppard currently shooting like Steph on offense, playing like a Make a Wish kid on defense.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I didn’t catch who Mark said gave Nique a compliment?

 

[gunks]

Nique is special with his passing

Yeah man, it'll never happen but I'd love it if we get rid of one of Schroeder/Westbrook and let Nique get NBA PG reps. Like 20+ mpg worth.

Deni the Foul Merchant

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He's fine bringing the ball up against most 2/3's, but it gets tough when a speedy defensive 1 is hounding him

 

[The_Jamal]

THERE WE GO MAX. Got a stop finally on Sengun

 

[coolhandluke]

Sengun eating out there. No one to matchup with him. If Domas was there, it would be a different story.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We got the good Russ tonight

Hrmm...

 

[Tetsujin]

Sengun eating out there. No one to matchup with him. If Domas was there, it would be a different story.

Not letting him camp out directly under the hoop would help

 

[iowamcnabb]

Sengun is 8/9 and the Rockets have a plus 15 advantage from 3. Only up 6

 

[Sluggah]

Okay, two minutes left in the 2nd. Same thing.

 

[Hawkmi]

Keegan finally gets a touch again and good things happen.

 

[gunks]

He's fine bringing the ball up against most 2/3's, but it gets tough when a speedy defensive 1 is hounding him

That's fine, I'm pro-tank haha. I feel it's more "ethical" and could pay off down the line, kinda like how the Spurs had Sochan as PG during their lotto years, but I think Nique could be better at it with his passing instincts.

 

[coolhandluke]

Hrmm...

Hmm indeed. We get all avatars of Russ

 

[Sluggah]

Giveth, yadda yadda

 

[coolhandluke]

Should be an offensive foul for Sheepard for kicking out his foot

 

[Tetsujin]

Sheppard with a completely natural pele kick shooting motion

 

[coolhandluke]

Refs remembering who the fans turn up for

 

[iowamcnabb]

Give me a break

 

[The_Jamal]

Sheppard with a completely natural pele kick shooting motion

Thankfully, I don't care about wins this season, but if this were any of the previous 3 years, that call would have me seething

 

[coolhandluke]

NBA is a clown league. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

 

[Tetsujin]

if Russ was that productive for the Rockets while he was still in Houston, he’d still be there lol. Man just sorta gifted them a ten point lead over the last couple of possessions
