[Rob-The-Great]

A Win is A Win

 

[Ozymandias]

thats my PG!


time and time again some of the haters here dont give our guys the benefit of the doubt that they've earned in the 4th quarter!


we wipe away mistakes in the 4th quarter.. samething ive been saying about the rockets all season --- they have no pg n we do so he'll navigate the 4th better for us..

 

[New Era]

That was a legit foul against Gordon. It's not like they gifted us that.

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean, the Gordon absolutely fouled him. So if we're saying that's "Highway robbery" for him being dumb, sure. But for DAMN ONCE, the Kings get a call at the end of the game.

 

[Woot!]

Heartbreaking loss for the Rockets.

You wouldn't know that from watching most of the Rockets' players.

 

[NewArena]

Relieved but disappointed. A win is a win. Kings have a long way to go.

Hey, we embarrassed them 3 times. Rockets had to show some sort of pride. Learning from wins >>>>>

 

[Tetsujin]

I knew the Rockets would somehow lose after they celebrated that block by Kenyon Martin Jr. They absolutely looked like a young team that was going to fold because they thought they won before the buzzer sounded.

Yep. It was a classic Walton-era Kings snatching defeat from the jaws of victory sort of game. Glad we're on the other side of one of those for once.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

In the immortal words of Bjelly…

“*** It. We deserve this win.

this was totally the equivalent of that game…spot on!

 

[KainLear]

You wouldn't know that from watching most of the Rockets' players.

Sengun looked distraught...

 

[Ozymandias]

Also please put De'Aaron in the allstar game!

 

[Tetsujin]

I mean the refs didn’t bail us in the end that was clearly a foul. It was called correctly

Yeah, Gordon absolutely crowded Fox before ehe got the ball, fouled him on the way up and was in his landing zone after the shot lol.

I'd save these kind of luck for the Playoffs if I could...

He landing-zone'd him so badly that he still bumped Fox causing him to lose balance.

 

[Woot!]

Kings outshot on 3's, outshot overall, and outrebounded 54-35.

And win.

 

[The_Jamal]

End of a 7-game trip, playing a team on the back to back set, didn't fold the last few minutes when Green was hitting everything, refs were doing their usual thing. Keegan came up so damn big on defense with the charge and the huge rebound with about .25 to go. Monk with the steal.

Props. It's the Rockets, but winning these games matter at the end of the year. Grabbing wins when you don't play well is the hallmark of a good team.

 

[dude12]

Hahahaha….was reading the page 6 melt down by some of the fans here. And then of course the Kings pull one out. Refs didn’t bail the Kings out at all. Fox steal, Keegan draws the charge, Steal of the inbounds pass. Gordon bodied Fox on the 3.

 

[Ozymandias]

Jalen Green has absolutely gotta hate our guts btw hahahahha


HE played so well in some of these games vs us n taken the L.. I hope this isnt like a comic book villain type origin story..

[PorchSurfin]

I can't believe they called that foul. It's like...the refs treated the Kings like a regular NBA team there. Wow

 

[KainLear]

Silas was furious after the last game. We should've expected the Rockets to come out focused. We got lucky tonight to get this W, even without the refs.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Yep. It was a classic Walton-era Kings snatching defeat from the jaws of victory sort of game. Glad we're on the other side of one of those for once.

Kind of the epitome. Just hard to imagine losing up 5 under a minute with the ball. Or up 1 with TWO inbounds (due to not being in the bonus) with 2.4 seconds.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I'd save these kind of luck for the Playoffs if I could...

For the time being, I'm happy using up this luck to GET to the playoffs.

 

[SacTownKid]

I legit fear the Rockets getting the number 1 pick. Green and the big French kid is going to equal big problems if the French kid is for real.

 

[Kingz19]

1-0 in the Kessler Edwards era.

He really held his seat down similarly to other long armed wing players in the Mike Brown system.

 

[kingdivac]

Flashbacks to when he missed those throws last year

That was the last full game I watched last year.....for a PG - just didn't compute.

 

[Tetsujin]

Hahahaha….was reading the page 6 melt down by some of the fans here. And then of course the Kings pull one out. Refs didn’t bail the Kings out at all. Fox steal, Keegan draws the charge, Steal of the inbounds pass. Gordon bodied Fox on the 3.

Yeah, not much of what he did is gonna show up on the stat sheet but Keegan had an absolutely great and gritty last two minutes of the game. Monk with the clutch steal too (even if the Rockets appeared to have passed the ball directly to him).

 

[iowamcnabb]

That's a highway robbery in the Kings favor.......

id call it about even since they missed the possession on that Gordon/ Fox play before

 

[KainLear]

For the time being, I'm happy using up this luck to GET to the playoffs.

Fair point.

 

[NewArena]

I truly have no complaints. We have two all stars baby!!! Light that mf BEAM!

Every other Kings team loses this one. Fox and Murray came up huge and Fox is the most clutch King I’ve ever seen omgggg

 

[NewArena]

LMAO LETS GO CHAMPIONSHIP BABYYYYYYY

LMAOOO i just love you dude
