[Game] Kings vs Houston Rockets, 3/10/2024, 3:00p PT/6:00p ET

[Sluggah]

Doesn’t look a day over 70

 

[Caccia]

Fox, Sabonis, Murray, and Monk are all being aggressive in this game.

 

[Kingz19]

Nice Vlade scoop by Domas there

 

[Sluggah]

Defense been looking kinda acceptable lately

 

[Sluggah]

And jinxed.

 

[kingdivac]

Poor defense the last 3 trips down

 

[kingdivac]

Good foul

 

[kingdivac]

Kings starters look pretty focused this 1st half at least.

 

[Kingz19]

Kings actually winning a lot of the 50/50 balls which is rare even on a good night.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It's nice when Brown remembers that Barnes is a good post-up player. They usually end up getting at least a foul out of it.

 

[Kingster]

That Fox cut to the basket receiving a Sabonis pass for a layup is something I've been begging for years. You seem to see once every three months; they should do it 3x a game, imo

 

[Tetsujin]

lol Keegs’s baby picture was wild. Dude had Jalen Green’s hair lol

 

[Remi]

take Barnes out

 

[kingdivac]

Garbage- 4s on the shot clock - stay out him

 

[Sluggah]

Energy has fallen off a cliff

 

[kingdivac]

Kings allow the Rockets into the game with a min and a half left.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings would be up by 15 if they were capable of hitting threes at all tonight.

 

[Remi]

Need to use Sabonis more, he is on fire today.

 

[Caccia]

Kings allow the Rockets into the game with a min and a half left.

That was all on the starters, primarily their lack of cohesive defense.

 

[Kingz19]

Weak close to the quarter

But Kings are usually in worse shape after shooting 25 percent from three in a half and the other team doubles them up from three

Kings need to keep attacking the paint. Especially if they intend to play Domas straight up. Keep taking care of the ball. I expect they will shoot a little better from three in the second half.

 

[Caccia]

Not a single Rockets player is in double figures at the half. Usually, we allow one bench player (or sometimes a starter, like Coby White) to get hot and score a career high.

 

[TaxMan]

I know you try to save your time outs, but given our propensity to give up runs I would have liked to have seen Brown call a timeout with about 2:30 left in the second. Momentum was clearly changing, we started walking the ball up the court and our intensity was down. These type of weak close outs in the first half is what keeps teams in the game against us.

 

[Kingster]

Fox has to stop with this lazy-ass basketball jacking guarded three pointers like he's Steph Curry. Get into the freaking paint. Monk did a better job being a point guard than Fox in the first half.

 

[TaxMan]

And here we go

 

[Kingz19]

Huerter and Keegan bricking open threes

 

[TaxMan]

Time for Kevin to sit the rest of the half

 

[TaxMan]

Huerter and Keegan bricking open threes

It’s extremely tough to have two players as streaky as Kevin and Keegan in the starting lineup

 

[Remi]

we need Malik's energy

 

[Kingz19]

Stop it DeAaron

 

[Kingz19]

Only 7 road wins for Houston

Just the stat we needed to hear to know this is the perfect game for the Kings to blow on their home floor. They’ve already blown a sizeable lead
