[Game] Kings @ Rockets 2/08/2023 5pm Pacific 8p Eastern

In contrast, I'd love to see the Kings play them 82 times a year and rack up at least 74 wins, lol. I do get what you're saying though. This isn't the test.

It is and it isn't. Talked about this a few weeks ago, but it's basically looking like whoever beats up the few bad teams in the league the best are going to get the playoff slots. Every other game is just too much of a slugfest where there's not a whole lot separating like 22-23 teams in the league.

Obviously not a total must win, but this will absolutely be a game we look back on, like thoses CHA and WAS losses if we end up with bad seeding or play-in

If Keegan can hit his shots he's up for another big game, the Rockets are sticking to the "let Keegan beat you on spot shots" game plan from last game.

Malik 3 ball looks so nice when it's in C&S

 

[Kingz19]

How about a damn stop

 

[Capt. Factorial]

How about a damn stop

You're allowed to do that in the first quarter?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Are the lanes invisible on the court and just added on with CGI, or what?

 

[Kingz19]

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Pretty frustrating that on back-to-back possessions the Rockets nailed threes following a blocked shot and a four-step travel, but our D still stunk.

 

[Turgenev]

When I see Paul Silas on the sideline, I keep thinking, "Why does this guy not spend a little time in the weight room?" He looks like he would blow away in a Texas-sized windstorm.

In defence of the lighter sized, endurance built board members, maybe he really likes running?

 

[New Era]

Another lackluster start

 

[Capt. Factorial]

There HAD to be some sort of whistle there. Travel, foul, SOMETHING.

 

[NiNetNiNe]

Fox was fouled hard enough that I heard the slap on tv, no call of course.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We have given up NINE offensive rebounds. We have 7 defensive rebounds. That's unacceptable with a capital U.

 

[gunks]

The rebounding is gonna make me throw up all over myself.

 

[Kingz19]

Houston already has 9 offensive rebounds

 

[Kingz19]

Monk seemingly leads a couple of horribly failed fast breaks per game

 

[SacTownKid]

That was an offensive foul on Tate.

 

[Sluggah]

Some curious no calls so far

 

[Kingz19]

Funny how the only times Davion looks foolish on defense it’s against a guard way past their prime like Lowry, Gordon, Conley, etc

you’ll see him haunt Donavan Mitchell, Clarkson, Sexton, Herro, etc. they might get the bucket but it’s against the best defense.

the only times you’ll see him standing in front of air is after some vet pulled some snail juke on him.

 

[Tetsujin]

Apparently Silas’s tirade was against the refs and it’s working

 

[PurpleHaze]

Some curious no calls so far

Refs not in any mood to blow a whistle. Just like players not part of All-Star weekend the refs not part of it ready for Cancun, Bahamas, etc.

 

[Tetsujin]

Rockets getting reffed like it’s 1994

 

[SacTownKid]

Keep on going there, Keegan isn't even on the Rockets scouting report.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Angst expression on Silas face at timeout was like, "Damn, we could have had Murray but instead went with Smith, Jr!"

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Rockets are missing a lot of layups. Having a Tatum flashbacks from the finals.

 

[Tetsujin]

Keep on going there, Keegan isn't even on the Rockets scouting report.

They closed out on him once and then decided to go back to leaving him open

 

[Sluggah]

That’s a fair amount of blood. Wonder how that could have possibly occurred?

 

[Das_Boot]

That’s a fair amount of blood. Wonder how that could have possibly occurred?

Couldn't have possibly been a foul.

 

[gunks]

Angst expression on Silas face at timeout was like, "Damn, we could have had Murray but instead went with Smith, Jr!"

Still feels weird being on the other side of that scenario haha

 

[gunks]

**** these refs.

Sue 'em, Vivek!!!
