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

[Tetsujin]

Needless to say Kings are better when they're getting up and down.

Yeah, we were winning games with the grit and grind without Fox and Bagley but Fox's speed is what can make this team actually good.

 

[kb02]

Wonder if Bagley gets back in this game?

Likely. Holmes hasn’t played particularly well this game.

Yep. Calling every play while controlling the tempo isn't how you use a De'Aaron Fox to his full capabilities. The motto should be air it out in the full court or clear it out in the half court.

 

[Tetsujin]

Likely. Holmes hasn’t played particularly well this game.

Holmes has done a better job of not getting in De'Aaron's way but we're making this run more on the back of Bjeli giving us more space than any Bagley/Holmes conflict

 

[MizzouKing]

A promising comeback! Note where Buddy is? Right on the bench, where he can't turn over the ball. And kudos to him for cheering and being an excellent teammate from the sidelines. I love how fast this team can turn things around.

 

[Tetsujin]

LOL Bjeli with the ridiculous heat checks

 

[SacTownKid]

We can only play 1 of Buddy, Fox and Bagley at a time. If you play 2 the defense goes to hell.

In theory the offense should be so dangerous that it should outweigh the defensive short comings.

 

[dude12]

Cojo fouled him with great defense....can’t do that Cojo

Yeah, Holmes never really posts up so that mush is cleared out. Then again, it's a simple call from the sidelines regardless so....

Bjelica is spacing the fl- *inmediately bricks two*

LOL Bjeli with the ridiculous heat checks

both were open 3s. gotta take those. I thought the second one was gonna drop (playing the percentages)

This happens when Buddy n Bags hoops IQ jumps two fold. Of the two, I have more faith in Bags making that leap.

 

[burekijogurt]

lol, was there contact there at all?

 

[kb02]

That’s not a foul.

 

[fansinceday1]

how the F*** is that a foul. Im sorry but the NBA sucks with their double standards. More than any other sport.

 

[kb02]

lol, was there contact there at all?

Initiated by Harden.

 

[Tetsujin]

We're doing a better job of defending De'Aaron than the Rockets are

 

[Tetsujin]

both were open 3s. gotta take those. I thought the second one was gonna drop (playing the percentages)

Yeah, I thought the second one was going to go in.

It's one of those things where they look great if they go in but horrible if they don't.

 

[Tetsujin]

God, De'Aaron Fox is pure electricity.

 

[Tetsujin]

**** the refs

 

[SacTownKid]

Might be time to go with Buddy here. The Rockets are going to let Fox or Joseph beat them from outside. Better hope they hit the shots they're given.

 

[Tetsujin]

DE'AARON IS A ****ING SUPERSTAR

 

[Kings_of_California]

THIS IS HAPPENING

 

[Kings_of_California]

I hate to say this but I don't want Bagley back on the floor. Doing really wel without him and Bricky Hield.

 

[dude12]

The Kings coming back with the way the refs are calling this is impressive.

 

[Tetsujin]

REFS YOU SUCK

 

[fansinceday1]

The rockets are one of the worst teams to watch because of the damn foul double standard. Im one more bad foul away from turning this game off.

 

[Kings_of_California]

I legitimately forgot Barnes was on the team until he just checked back in.

 

[SacTownKid]

The NBA game is so broken right now. Totally wussified.

 

[kb02]

Refs have money on the rockets.
