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

[VF21]

Mr. Holmes versus Capela is, like, the quintessential battle of #NewDude NBA "big men."

I guess I gotta take it where I can find it.

One thing you cannot fault Mr. Holmes for is his tenacity. I've said it before and I'll most likely say it again - add a bunch of tattoos, some piercings, leopard print hairdo and a short-term marriage to Carmen Elektra...

Some stats

Buddy has 4 turnovers
Kings hitting 48% from 3
Holmes + 18 plus minus

Tucker 11 boards.

 

[Livinthedream]

Probably should go back to that zone defense. Rockets not making shots this half.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Tucker sure is tough for a smaller guy.

PJ Tucker can be the Sixth Man for the All-Slim team.

 

[VF21]

Pet peeve #(in the top 10) - Guards who fly at the 3-point shooter in an attempt to block the shot late because they left them open.

... aka, Fake Hustle.

 

[VF21]

Wait. What? They called a freaking OFFENSIVE FOUL on James Harden? And then D'Antoni challenges it??

This could be interesting...

 

[VF21]

Oh please, great God Naismith, let the call stand. Please, please, please, please, please.

 

[VF21]

YES!!!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Oh please, great God Naismith, let the call stand. Please, please, please, please, please.

It didn't stand. It was confirmed.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I think ANY arguing of a reviewed call should be an automatic tech.

 

[Sluggah]

Awesome

 

[VF21]

It didn't stand. It was confirmed.

The call was a foul. It was confirmed. Therefore, the call stood as originally made. Right?

 

[gunks]

Keep whining Harden....

 

[burekijogurt]

Harden whining like Luka

 

[VF21]

OMG. Harden is a piece of dog dooty. What a crock.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The call was a foul. It was confirmed. Therefore, the call stood as originally made. Right?

I think technically "call stands" means insufficient evidence to overturn, "confirmed" means sufficient evidence to say the call was right. So it's better!

 

[burekijogurt]

Luke should challenge this

 

[PacMan]

Arias didn't touch him

 

[Tetsujin]

LOL the Kings are doing everything they can to break how the refs call Harden tonight

 

[Iced Espresso]

LOL

I can't wait to see how pissed off Harden gets if they take this away too.

 

[VF21]

I love when Doug disagrees with Grant and explains why.

 

[Livinthedream]

Crafty...

 

[Sluggah]

I don’t know if I want a pissed off Harden the rest of this game.

 

[Kingz19]

well, if anything...that definitely shouldn’t be and 1

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Could also argue that Ariza fouled the screen man with a wraparound before the shot. That sort of review has worked before against us this year, IIRC.

 

[VF21]

I think technically "call stands" means insufficient evidence to overturn, "confirmed" means sufficient evidence to say the call was right. So it's better!

Po--tay-to, po-tat-o ... bite me.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Getting a tad chirpy between Ariza & Harden. Earlier in the game you could read Harden's lips saying something like "You can't stop me" "Nah, you can't stop me"

 

[VF21]

considering how upset the Rockets are already over that disallowed protest, this might just make their heads explode. Maybe the NBA is sending a message?

 

[Kingz19]

Doug called it

Maybe he should ref
