[Game] Kings @ Rockets - Monday, Dec. 9 - 5 PT, 8 ET

[kingsboi]

when was the last time the Kings had big time wins in back to back games? The Mavs were the 2nd seed, were 10-1 in the last 11....Rockets are 3rd or 4th seed

 

[FoxOnTheRun]

Loved the look on that d-bag Westbrook's face after that dagger...

I always record the game and the post-game so I've got Bjeli's comment on the DVR to play over and over and over again.

As an aside, I feel sorry for @Roc Paint. Not only didn't his cousin play, but his home team lost. Sorry, Roc.

yeah JJ did not get any time. I think its the 3pt shot. He has not been knocking it down. that and Ariza has been playing well.

 

[NewArena]

OMG!!!!!! I’m still shaking! You have got to be KIDDING me

 

[L'Optimisme]

Koz: "And it's hugs all around after Belly hits that three, including here in the studio. I might have to call HR here on Katie after this win."

I love everything about this team.

 

[burekijogurt]

so that was 3 huge three pointers at the end. Barnes, Buddy, Bjelica

 

[VF21]

Wow. Rockets fans are taking it a lot better than Mavs fans. Check it out here

 

[L'Optimisme]

ALSO THIS:

This is the best finish of the year across the whole league... and the difference this time? The Kings come out on top. This changes the story. You no longer look cool bagging on a team that has a BIG BALLS win like this. That's what this win means. It's an absolutely huge win.

Mavs fans probably injured themselves patting themselves on their backs in the pre-game thread so they have extra salt.

 

[Hoovtrain]

My gf thinks I am deranged.

My wife asked me recently during a game if I had Tourette’s

 

[NewArena]

BIG SHOT BUDDY

I mean he deserves ALL of the credit in the world for having the balls to shoot that wild shot right after missing the first one

I never in a million years thought we’d make up for that horrific loss in San Antonio. There isn’t another Kings team i can think of that would be resilient enough to get over that

And for that, Walton absolutely deserves props for as well

 

[VF21]

Just one example from ClutchFans.com:


"People rarely call out Harden but man he was so sloppy and listless tonight, getting tired of his act yeah yeah tell me to go **** off but its true the dude played like **** tonight"

 

[Iced Espresso]

One of the Wolves or Suns have to lose tonight as they are playing. A tad closer to the 8th seed.

Rockets fans always struck me as classy. Then again the arena was half full so perhaps they just couldn't care less. Either way, nice people. Lol.

Harden is so unlikable that even his fans hate him

 

[NewArena]

Russel Westbrok was right!!! He mouthed game over after that layup.

LOL!!

 

[Hoovtrain]

Really enjoyed watching Joseph frustrate harden tonight

 

[SacTownKid]

Really enjoyed watching Joseph frustrate harden tonight

Not trying to orchestrate the offense means more energy for lockdownage. The coaching staff again did a great job on the game plan. You play Harden at an angle and never square him up. It won't work as effectively as it does against Steph Curry but it makes him uncomfortable since he's looking to step back.

Really enjoyed watching Joseph frustrate harden tonight

Even more respect for him after listening to Grant and Doug talk about how his back was really bothering him most of the trip and yet he played through...

I truly believe Vlade has assembled something special.

 

[steelevt]

Lol I said it after the spurs lost. In true kings fashion, we lose the 2 we’re supposed to win and will win the 2 we were supposed to lose. Thank you bjelica for not making me a liar.

Rocket tears.....”ZOMG THE REFS STOLE ANOTHER GAME FROM US....wahhhhhh....”

LOL

Guy is a grinder, just like Holmes. Absolutely loved those signings. You must have guys like that

 

[L'Optimisme]

Absolutely love Coach with the shoutout to CoJo for his defensive effort/assignments the last two nights. That right there is a classy move.

now all that is missing to complete the puzzle is to have our two franchise cornerstones break out

 

[ESP47]

How I'm feeling after doing a lot of Bjelica defending this week.

 

[chief bromden]

Man that was so awesome on so many levels. Even happy Benny Mac hit his big shot, but that Peanut Butter and Bjelly shot with the f bomb is pure elation

 

[NewArena]

"Shaq, we're on live!"

"I don't give a ****."

But we wouldn't have lost the SA game except for the officials...

 

[L'Optimisme]

This win just keep getting better...

GAME OVER GAME OVER!! Says Russell effing Westbrook. Um, Kings said NO. THE OPTICS COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE BETTER. MERRY KINGS CHRISTMAS YALL.
