[Game] Kings @ Rockets - Saturday, Nov. 17 - 5:00 PM PT

[Tetsujin]

Harden fouls Buddy. Foul on Buddy

 

[ESP47]

Even if the Kings play improves throughout this game, the refs aren't going to allow them to win.

 

[SacTownKid]

And here is an example of the difference with less shooting. Good coaching on the part of the Rockets, they understand the personnel on the floor and the paint is getting tighter and tighter.

Refs will not give us a call. Harden just out and out grabbed Bagley in the paint. This is stupid

 

[HndsmCelt]

The score is ridiculous. But it also shows if the Kings can just put together 10 minutes of solid defense this whole game with change.

 

[Ozymandias]

Grant and Doug are wrong about what Buddy just did. Buddy was well aware Marvin had an easy 2 but he was in a position for a relatively easy and-1, was fouled, and the refs swallowed the whistle. He's screaming "come on" about as demonstrative a reaction as you'll see from Hield after that, and i agree with him.

Lol Jackson

 

[SLAB]

I mean... it’s only 12 points.

Feels like 35 though.

 

[The_Jamal]

Justin can't be on the floor anymore. He literally could not be any more wide open than he was on that wide open 3 and we're down big .That's an important shot we need that player on the floor to take.

 

[The Hammer]

Willie can take a seat as far as I'm concerned. Raise your damn hands on defense. Someone smack that kid.

 

[Ozymandias]

What Doug just described with "what he'd do" vs the Rockets P'n'R is precisely what needs to happen/how they should play it.

 

[kingdivac]

3 FTA to 12 FTA.....refereeing needs to be automated.

 

[dude12]

I think Fox should shoot 50 times

 

[Kingz19]

Yay

More free throws

Can't even take a charge on that baseline drive.

 

[SLAB]

I don’t care if it’s one game. This game is why I’m 100% anti huge WCS contract,

 

[Kingster]

WCS has been gawdawful in this half.

 

[The_Jamal]

Praise jesus JJ took the 3.

 

[kingdivac]

Cauley-Stein has a chance to turn around his debacle in the 2nd half, as does Bellwether.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

jackson hit a three! a glitch in the matrix.

 

[Turgenev]

As a collective they look a bit too apathetic for me tonight. That's sort of the most disappointing component.

 

[Sluggah]

A 12 point deficit in this game is nothing.

“You have to roll with it and the refs are spot on most of the time”

 

[Kingster]

Fox and Bogs have been awesome. Stein has been WC¢.

 

[Ozymandias]

For as poorly as they've played (sans Fox and Bogdan) 12 point deficit isn't bad. Houston could honestly have like 80 points with the way we've defended...


#1, 2 and 3 things I'ma be watching for in this 2nd half is pick-and-roll defense. Funny thing is we have the guys who can move laterally quick enough to get it done, now we just gotta get em to make the right reads.

Also for all the posts about how Skal's awareness is lacking, were seeing quite a bit of misreads from our more polished bigs as well.

it's worthy of note the rockets hold two maestro's of the P'n'R and have an excellent rim runner in capela to boot.

 

[Kingster]

Hield's vision has been poor, missing open guys. Yogi looks like he hasn't played in weeks, which is the case.

 

[SacKings123]

Time to put Skal in

 

[SacKings123]

Our best players are foxi, bogi and buddy. We have major hole in our SF position

The are maestros and they have gone to Julliard and won awards in acting.

Another thing the Rockets do quite well is find the big guy streaking down the floor. I think they've done that three times already.
