Terrible shot selection Noc

 

[kingsnation]

Our interior d has been terrible tonight.

 

[NewArena]

The effort on defense is totally not there...i dare anyone to say they see it. And no they aren't tired. The defense has been awful for the whole year.

 

[swisshh]

Kings getting outworked and they're guarding the three so strong that they've giving up the drive over and over, which leads to dumpoffs and putbacks tallying up some huge points in the paint for Houston. They need to let Houston shoot jumpers.

 

[rainmaker]

Too many And1s, if were going to foul these guys, foul em

That is one area I haven't seen any improvement. Jt and Hawes rarely, if ever, take a hard foul. And they have had numerous opportunities to do so this season.

 

[fnordius]

Nocioni seems to be having an off night, and starting Donte at G was so bizarre that I feel obligated to forgive his not being very productive. But, aside from them, everybody seems to be playing okay. Just not well enough to win it.

 

[kings4lyfe32]

there you go JT, nice nice

I'm sorry, but what?

 

[kingsnation]

Omridiculous.

 

[kings4lyfe32]

Nice move Caspi!!!!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

In Dontes defense, I think he got the ball twice, maybe less. His D was pretty good though.

 

[kingsnation]

Ew.

 

[rainmaker]

thats not spencers fault, omri can't give him the ball in that situation

 

[king07]

#*#$ could've cut the lead down to 5 going into the half

 

[6th]

A couple of good defensive stops in a row. Now, let's get a good shot off before half.

 

[king07]

facepalm

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Cmon now JT ... He does that at least once per game

 

[6th]

Damn! He was not there. Wrong call IMHO.

 

[rainmaker]

JT won't consistently try to plow over people when he develops a left hand, but that was a terrible move

 

[swisshh]

ugh

JT complains about the refs because the refs treat him different. Hayes is moving and not set, flops and gets the call.

 

[kingsnation]

Oh yuck! I seriously almost just threw my computer through the tv.

 

[kings4lyfe32]

that was just absolutly terrible, even though brooks missed, there is no excuse for that

 

[rainmaker]

ugh

???
Jt lowered his shoulder and drilled him right in the chest, that was clearly a charge

 

[6th]

See, the replay shows that. JT cannot be blamed for that.

Edit: some of us will have to agree to disagree on that call.

 

[swisshh]

It's a matter of if you think he is going into the guy or going down to gather and go up. Since it's JT, the refs say charge. Other players? Probably not.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Whether it was technically a 'charge' or not doesnt really matter. Thats going to be called 100% of the time.

 

[xrzn]

Kings lost the quarter only by 1. Kings have a good shot at pulling off an upset if they can hang around and start cutting into the small lead in the 2nd half.

 

[NewArena]

Edit: some of us will have to agree to disagree on that call.

i agree 100%.

JT is not perfect. He makes more than his share of errors, usually when he's just too hyped and going a little too fast for his feet. I refuse to buy into the "JT is the victim" mentality.
