[Game] Kings v. Rockets - Monday, Dec. 23 - 7PT/10ET

[Tetsujin]

Whoever says the team is better without Fox is crazy.

Trade De'Aaron for a pick and to load Dedmon's salary!

 

[dude12]

These refs man

 

[Tetsujin]

How is that a travel? Capella checked him there

 

[Amiga]

These refs goin crazy

 

[burekijogurt]

8pt game. could have been worse the way it started.

 

[Tetsujin]

Harden being allowed to casually throw defenders to the ground while our guys are getting called for fouls committed by the other team is certainly something.

 

[dude12]

I just don’t understand why the refs have different standards for players. Cater to the Beard and Westbrook and then we will see them choke in the playoffs once again. What’s the point?

 

[Sam0ah]

These refs! Agree..... Its horrible. This is home game for crying out loud.

 

[Sam0ah]

13 to 3 ft advantage is nuts...

 

[jcwkings]

If I'm Walton I'm starting Fox, Hield, Ariza, Barnes, Holmes the second half.

 

[Iced Espresso]

I think they were calling out another play.

I mean maybe, but you have him isolated in the post, he should get that ball right away. Maybe get to the line. I could understand if it was Tucker for a smaller guy, but not Harden.

It's like he has tunnel vision sometimes.

 

[Iced Espresso]

The kings have a +3 rebound advantage, that surprises me. Seemed to me like Houston was bullying the Kings some inside.

Holmes, Ariza, Joseph the only positives in the plus/minus

Kings shooting over 52% from 2

 

[Kings_of_California]

I'm rapidly losing my patience with Buddy.

 

[Tetsujin]

Why are we running plays for Richaun in the high post?

 

[burekijogurt]

okidoki

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, gone goes the spacing. Gone goes their chances.

 

[Kings_of_California]

This game just turned in a matter of 3 entire minutes.

 

[Reverend]

I'm rapidly losing my patience with Buddy.

*Bagley

 

[Iced Espresso]

I'm rapidly losing my patience with Buddy.

Man seems like he's been off for awhile now.

 

[SacTownKid]

Fox running pick and roll while Bagley posts up is some of the most ridiculous stuff we've seen in probably the last few seasons. And that's saying a lot.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Now Fox can't buy a bucket.

 

[sergmatt]

Now Fox can't buy a bucket.

It would help if they stop hitting his arm.

 

[VF21]

...sigh...

I've got presents to wrap and a couple of pies to bake. Maybe if I retire to the kitchen the Kings will find their mojo. After all, hope springs eternal.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Really Cory? About as disastrous a quarter as it gets in basketball.

 

[sactowndog]

I’m sorry but Doug needs to stop raving about Fox’s defense until he can stop a straight line drive.

 

[SacTownKid]

We'll see how Fox and Joseph do but you can see the Rockets are just leaving them all alone on the perimeter. I don't get how Walton can't see that putting Hield in the same spots off the ball that he has Joseph and Fox with this lineup could do the trick.

 

[fansinceday1]

watching westbrook and beard get away with bodying up players with zero recourse is such a huge turnoff. Then the kings get called for what those guys get away with. Been going on for years.

 

[Tetsujin]

Can't really blame Bagley for all of this run but I'm sure that's not gonna stop some of you

 

[Iced Espresso]

All right, I'm going to get depressed if I watch any more tonight.

Merry Christmas everyone.

 

[Kings_of_California]

We've scored 4 points with 5 minutes left in the quarter. Rockets have scored 21.
