[Game] Game 23: Houston Rockets @ Sacramento Kings, 12/11/14. 7:30 PST, 10:30 EST

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Malone said it a couple of weeks ago: we can't beat ourselves and the other team.

 

[xrzn]

These turnovers are ridiculous. How difficult is it to get off a quality shot? Pick a play, run it, and get a shot off.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Last five possessions: one point, four turnovers. Awful.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Starting to feel like i'm watching a replay of Tuesday's game

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

i don't think Ben was this bad. But i am in no way saying to give up on Nik. Just might be time to stop giving him playing time for now. he's just killing his confidence out there

Just the game before last though, he was gaining a lot of confidence

 

[VF21]

I agree. And was it Ben's large amount of PT that helped him get to this point? If it was, do you really want to hinder Nik's development by benching him?

I want us to have every opportunity to win. Tonight Nik doesn't afford us that opportunity. Been had a lot of PT because we sucked.

 

[KingMilz]

I agree. And was it Ben's large amount of PT that helped him get to this point? If it was, do you really want to hinder Nik's development by benching him?

Thing is last season was about development, this year we want to win somewhat, Sessions and Nik are costing us games you can't really say that about anyone else on the roster.

 

[Rockmeister]

Kings need to practice their free throws. They have missed 9 so far.

And they have 22 TO's. Nice!

 

[kennadog]

This team needs to slap itself into remembering how we get leads in the first place.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

We had this game in hand too. Sucks that we blew a large lead with unnecessary turnovers.

 

[kingsboi]

if the Kings are going to be so generous giving the ball to Houston...they are bound to take advantage, right?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I want us to have every opportunity to win. Tonight Nik doesn't afford us that opportunity. Been had a lot of PT because we sucked.

exactly. it's a lot different situation this season. And Nik is really hurting the team 95% of the time he's on the floor

 

[VF21]

These turnovers are ridiculous. How difficult is it to get off a quality shot? Pick a play, run it, and get a shot off.

Easy to say, much harder to put into practice - especially when their spacing sucks and they keep running into each other.

 

[kingsboi]

laugh out loud Harden just right to the rim...minimal effort

 

[rainmaker]

DC is really making a lot of poor decisions. Too erratic.

And would you please space the floor. C'mon now. Spacing is awful.

 

[Rockmeister]

Kings have had only FOUR assists since half time.

 

[kingsboi]

Barry mentioned four assists as a team since the half?

 

[hrdboild]

The kinds of turnovers I've seen this season are characteristic of a young team that isn't completely familiar yet with everyone else's tendencies. It's a timing thing and I think it'll work itself out the more time this group has to play together.

 

[fursty13]

DTHRILL

 

[kingsboi]

Williams? what the...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Ariza showing what that championship experience does for you.

 

[VF21]

I have faith. GO KINGS!!!!!

 

[fursty13]

Goodbye, Montiejunas.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

YES!!! DWILL!!! ALL IS FORGIVEN I LOVE YOU!!!

 

[kennadog]

exactly. it's a lot different situation this season. And Nik is really hurting the team 95% of the time he's on the floor

I just think there are limited choices on the bench right now.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Well, Derrick Williams is boosting that trade value tonight

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

clutch shot by Williams. Release looked really good

 

[VF21]

Oh, bad Montiejunas. I saw what he said.

 

[fursty13]

FOUL DORSEY IF HE GETS THE BALL!

 

[KingMilz]

Derrick's earning his PT this year

 

[Tetsujin]

Ben absolutely drowned Harden on that possession
