[Game] Game 15: Sacramento F Kings @ Houston Rockets, 11/26/14, 5 PST, 8 EST

What Grant meant by Nik not going to get any more shots like that translates to teammates won't pass him the ball anymore

 

[funkykingston]

Nik passes up a wide open 3 for a contested 2, which he air balled. Head scratcher.....

I thought Nik was fouled on that shot.

That said, this is an awful game so far. This may be the ugliest first quarter of the season thus far.

And the frustrating part is that it isn't Houston's doing. The Kings are shooting themselves in the foot thus far.

 

[Larry89]

They are Doubling Cousins and everyone just stands around and watches

 

[Tetsujin]

We're shooting 35% with 9 turnovers while they're shooting 61% with no turnovers

 

[Sac.Kings]

Jason Terry showing the rook how it's done... keep shooting Nik!

Keep shooting? He refuses to shoot period 90% of the time. Just shoot is more appropriate at this time.

 

[chasen4r1]

turning this off in 5 minutes if this continues

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

nik drew a foul! YES.

 

[206Fan]

Well, I hope we win the next game in San Antonio.

 

[Sac.Kings]

I am done for the night. Disgraced. I hate Harden and I hate Houston in general.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, we can't play any worse, right?

Never invite worse.

 

[dude12]

2nd night of back to back...looks like we shot our wad last night

 

[chasen4r1]

nik drew a foul! YES.

At least he can't pass up these shots

 

[Tetsujin]

I guess that was a nice play by Nik.

 

[rainmaker]

A ****ing glaring coaching mistake is not making sure one of Boogie or JT is on the floor at center at all times. There is not one good reason not to split their time on the floor more effectively so we're not running out Landry at center.

I refuse to believe Hollins isn't a better defender at the rim than Carl Landry. That makes little sense as well.

 

[chasen4r1]

Rockets = GOAT?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

You're all done after 1 quarter?

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh... So that's why Nik hasn't been shooting open shots.

Even Ty Corbin figured that out

 

[Tetsujin]

Eric Moreland should probably get his playing shoes on tonight.

 

[lawlman91]

Nice by Nik

 

[rainmaker]

You're all done after 1 quarter?

We can still win this. Without a doubt.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nik consistently getting beat off the dribble by 90-year-old Cisco.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

it's disgusting that his style of play gets rewarded

Disgusting or not, it's apparently in the rules. What NBA player worth anything would pass up easy free points, he knows he can get?

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

nik has played VERY GOOD after passing up that shot.

 

[Chubbs]

We were overdue for one of these.

Although I don't think its a lack of effort. Execution has been abysmal.

Long long way to go folks.

 

[206Fan]

Guys, maybe we can do that thing other teams do when they're down 20 to us... come back and tie it by half time?

 

[Sac.Kings]

You're all done after 1 quarter?

Eh I always take a few minutes when games get bad cool down and get back in it. I get too angry quickly

 

[Tetsujin]

nik has played VERY GOOD after passing up that shot.

Cuz shouting at him apparently lit a fire under his ass

Eff that....you let the backups see if they can get us back in the game and if we do you have a rested Cuz and JT,for the stretch. This is one of those games where the bench crew is going to have to pull their weight and get us back in it.

 

[lawlman91]

nik has played VERY GOOD after passing up that shot.

yes. i admire his poise and willingness to play solid basketball and not mind the scoreboard or wins/losses

 

[HereWeBoogie]

at least a reason for optimism

Interesting Rockets stats: They rank 5th and 8th for scoring in 1st & 2nd quarters and 29th and 25th in the 3rd & 4th. Strong start critical
