It's admirable that Şengün keeps playing, and playing hard, when his home country is in such distress.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Rockets getting reffed like it’s 1994

I was Dreamin' when I wrote this
So forgive me if I start to Shake
But when I woke up this morning
Could have sworn the refs were on the take

The sky was beaming purple
And us Rockets running all askance
Laying bricks and missing bunnies
You know we never had a chance

When the clock reads zero-zero party over
We couldn't score
So tonight they're gonna ref us like its 1994

 

[PurpleHaze]

Another Kings gotta outscore Houston to win since can't rely on defense against the worst team in the NBA

 

[206Fan]

we shouldn't be letting the worst team in the league keep up with us... offense has gone cold, and we still don't like playing defense.

 

[Kingz19]

Another defensive 3 second?

 

[Kingz19]

pull your heads out

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs out here calling 3 every single damn possession

 

[Caccia]

Sabonis with four fouls. He is getting frustrated & no doubt will come out.

 

[The_Jamal]

Refs giving a free foul for Green there. Total flop

 

[Sluggah]

I mean, 2 of our 3 wins against this team went a similar way with them hanging with us, and then we just flipped a switch in the 4th. But I don’t believe the refs were drunk during those games, so who knows if we can manage another.

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs calling things for the Rockets because they feel bad for Stephen Silas is annoying.

 

[The_Jamal]

That's how you beat this team. Get Sengun in a track meet and attack him right at the rim. Jabari gives you some rim protection, but he's mostly too small to really challenge Fox/Barnes/Sabonis strength at the rim.

 

[Caccia]

Or maybe no one told Coach Brown?

 

[The_Jamal]

holy crap, they finally called an over the back for Sabonis

 

[Kingz19]

Kings shouldn’t be having to work harder for good shots than Houston. Get it together

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Welp, that's not gonna help

 

[Kingz19]

Good work, Brown. As if our perimeter defense is so damn good that Sabonis wouldn’t be in constant jeopardy of picking up his 5th foul.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, that's not a good foul.

 

[The_Jamal]

Keegan 1-3
Huerter 1-6
Fox: 0-2
Sabonis 0-2
Barnes 1-1

Kings just aren't going to be super competitive when we're shooting like this from 3.

 

[Caccia]

Or maybe no one told Coach Brown?

He has to know now. Geez, Sabonis should have come off the floor after four fouls.

 

[Tetsujin]

Rockets apparently perfectly fine standing in the key for five seconds but the Kings keep getting the whistle blown at 2 seconds

 

[SacTownKid]

He has to know now. Geez, Sabonis should have come off the floor after four fouls.

How can you trust this team right now though? It was a failed gamble but when your bench is this level of *** it's a tough deal, lol.

 

[The_Jamal]

Metu just no chance vs Sengun

 

[The_Jamal]

Tate just chillin in the lane for 8 seconds

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Tate just chillin in the lane for 8 seconds

He wears the same color as the lane, so he's camouflaged.

 

[Kingz19]

Pathetic defense

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So now it's only net +3 defensive three second calls in their favor

 

[The_Jamal]

Davion HUGE impact here. lfg

 

[Caccia]

Bench mob getting it done, with or without Mr. Fox.

Now, they need to find a way to slow down Green.
