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

[dude12]

McHale is an idiot for not putting Canaan on Sessions....Sessions couldn't handle his defensive pressure and Terry sucks on defense

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yeah, and what I'm saying is one doesn't negate the other. It's done every night around this league.

Especially important on the second night of a back-to-back.

 

[chasen4r1]

Was I the only one not panicking when we got down big?

I was in a full on freak out mode.. I've upgraded to low key freak out mode

 

[Gilles]

Was I the only one not panicking when we got down big?

10-0 in TOs, 62-42 in FG%, wasn't gonna last.

 

[rainmaker]

Was I the only one not panicking when we got down big?

Nope.

We can still win this. Without a doubt.

 

[chasen4r1]

Why can our guards not look up and see Ben breaking out for a fast break. Been 2 or 3 clear instances where no one notices

 

[The Hammer]

Down 7 at half???

By the Grace of God.

 

[Chubbs]

JT blocked harden twice on that last play.

 

[Glenn]

I think this is why they make teams play the entire game.

 

[kingjatt]

great pick n roll defense wow we put on clinic on defense those last few possessions

 

[fursty13]

All things considered, good to be down 7. Also there's this:

Kayte Christensen @kayte_c · 1h1 hour ago
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

 

[IfAt1st]

In fact, NOW I can see what the deal with the NBA and the Kings is this season.
As soon as DMC shoowed his "uppity" attitude, the refs nailed him with a blatantly made-up bad travelling call -
now, that on its own would not be too telling.
But if you listen to Grant and Jerry, it's the commentators' comments that are the most revealing.
Without any replay (of course), they immediately started the propaganda talk, saying "That was probably a good call" and a minute later, even going to the nauseating unwarranted conclusion of "The refs aren't the problem." "Yeah, they are seldom the problem."

This level of protecting the "integrity" of the league's officiating is something I am hypersensitive to, and it's a clear sign of the way the NBA requires the Kings to go behave this year.

DMC MAY be allowed to be a beast this year, but only if he's going to play by the Man's rules, and stop being an uppity disrespectful black man.

 

[funkykingston]

JT with HUGE defensive stands to end the half.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

We're right in position to win another "ugly" game. Just win

 

[mac]

All considered we're very fortunate to only be down 7. Still plenty of time to win this!

 

[Larry89]

I expect super Casspi and the Boogie-ness Monster to appear in the 2nd

 

[Glenn]

Down 7 at half???

By the Grace of God.

The Great God Naismith, of course.

Wow

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Really good defense to end the half. Led by JT. Kings gotta pounce to start the 3rd like they did last night

It's the League Pass effect. Even the local announcers are reluctant to anything

 

[rainmaker]

I think this is why they make teams play the entire game.

That usually holds true, but the league could start cancelling Philly games at halftime and I'm not sure many would blink.

You got all that from a traveling call?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

McHale is an idiot...

You probably could have ended the sentence right there. McHale was a Hall of Fame player, no doubt, but as Paul Shirley might say, he may have been more of a basketball savant than a basketball genius.

 

[est.1999]

Houston has 14 more shot attempts. Shore up the turnovers and we win this game by slowing it down and continuing getting to the line. I really hate Harden and the Rockets. Put them in their place. Hard.

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Cousins need to chill, he is barking way too much. Great team defense that 2nd Q , keep it withing 4 or 5 and we steal this game in the 4th, I feel it.

to be fair the Rockets have had a ton of blowouts this year so this stat is probably skewed. Not playing with the effort in the 2nd half and pulling starters early

[HereWeBoogie]

Please Malone, stagger the front court rotation in the 2nd half like Corbin did last night

 

[Woogie]

Ok, down 2 starters and only down 7 after such a slow start on a b2b. Can't say I'm too angry.
There were a few very good defensive plays at the end of the half. Hopefully, a sign of things to come.

P.S. Cut the turnovers, please.

[Modding]

This is probably a bridge too far. Dial it back, please.
