[Game] Kings at Rockets Game Thread

[jsmk23]

Are you kidding me?!

 

[Kings Faithful]

What in gods name is dalembert doing..... hahah... what a joke.

 

[Tetsujin]

Sammy D with the sterling defense.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Seriously!!! What the hell was that Dalembert??

Other teams dont do this right? ... I've been watching basketball for a long long time, this team does some incredible things in the fourth quarter.

 

[Arkitect]

Does Dally have like a foot on Lowry? Why the hell would you leave your feet?

 

[Tetsujin]

Well time to let Marcus make another shot.

 

[hrdboild]

Unbelievable. More Marcus Thornton right now, less everyone else.

 

[Arkitect]

I am literally laughing hysterically. I can't believe this.

 

[Block Party]

Wow, two fouls behind the arc. RIDICULOUS.

 

[kingsboi]

So it almost happened for the third time in a row. How lucky are we that Martin decided to pass?

 

[Kings Faithful]

The only time that move has ever worked for Martin at the end of the game... and he passes it!!! HAHAH

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

WOW ... If Martin didnt pass that .. Ok, looking at the replay it would have been a 2pt shot not a 3pt ... but still. What is going on here?

And that he has been missing his free throws.

 

[Tetsujin]

Houston rockets announcers apparently can't tell the difference between a shot and a pass.

 

[Arkitect]

KMart really wants us to win this game.

 

[hrdboild]

That's cause he's still got some Kings in him after all!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Is this one safe yet? we are up by 7 and Im still not sure. You never know with this team.

 

[Arkitect]

That was the sloppiest last 5 minutes I have ever seen in a basketball game. At any level.

 

[Tetsujin]

Contrast between KMart and MT is clear tonight.

 

[hrdboild]

We all but gift-wrapped this one for Houston, and they said "no thanks"

 

[swisshh]

classic kmart garbage points

 

[ArcoKings]

It got a little scary there at the end but the Kings pull off a road win. Go Kings.

Obviously you missed the NCAA finals last night...

 

[Gary]

Good game. Hated the end with those stupid fouls but overall the Kings have been playing great in the last 2-3 weeks winning 7 of the last 10.

I knew a good shooter at the 2 who does not clog the lane (for Evans like Martin did) woul make the team better. Not to mention Thompsons steller play off the bench lately and Beno's bench play as being the steady player he is. Good game guys!

 

[kingsboi]

It's pretty obvious the Kings tried to give the game away, they tried their hardest but Houston didn't want it enough. You think after 75+ games there would be some sort of intelligence going on at the end of games. Cousins didn't score in the second half but Marcus Thornton stepped up HUGE! It seems like he was the only one out there who didn't fold under the pressure besides that one missed FT.

You have to believe that Houston knew the moment Memphis lost to he Clips tonight, and you would have thought it would motivate them. I guess mediocre teams on the fringe of the playoffs are going to flinch when they see SAC on their schedule.

This game pretty much displayed everything that can be right with this team and then everything that will stand in the way. Good lord, Kardiac Kings!

 

[PurpleHaze]

I loved when Marcus Thornton said in post game interview, "we got best team in the NBA," with a little tongue and cheek expression. Obviously, he's made it ancient history Kings as worst in the league - along with a bunch of coming together team mates.

They were trying to get more lotto balls... trying to stay alive in the Kyrie/Derrick sweepstakes. Toronto will not be winning any more games this year so it was worth a shot. This post should be in the Lotto watch thread!

I am about to watch the game. Seems like our back court and our front court tandem all had a good game statistically in looking at the box score. Oh and methinks that we wouldnt have won this one if we had KMart as our SG, MT thank you very much. Winning kicks butt, forget the lottery!

I think he was talking about the Spurs (joking that facing them wouldn't be a challenge) ... but a nice thought anyway.
