[Game] Kings vs Rockets 1/11/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

[Capt. Factorial]

Gordon desperately did not want that heave to count against his stats but the clock wouldn't comply.

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

Nobody plays "intense defense" for 48 minutes, not even the Grizzlies and Celtics. Hell, the 2004 Pistons didn't play intense defense for 48 minutes, not every night. How about starting with a more reasonable goal, like playing intense defense for twenty-eight minutes a game?

Id settle for one quarter at this point

 

[iowamcnabb]

Well could have been worse. Rockets live and die by the three. Really feels like we should be up 20

 

[The_Jamal]

Jabari still super super young, but he's got a ways to go before he starts being impactful.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I would not. I think they come 10 short of that.

On pace for ninety-six at the half.

 

[SacTownKid]

A little soft on D but this looks like a good team playing with a young team so far.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well could have been worse. Rockets live and die by the three. Really feels like we should be up 20

If the Kings could keep the Rockets off the glass, y'all would be up double-digits, easy.

 

[Caccia]

Perimeter defense slacked off at the end of the half; the starters looked tired. It has been a fast-paced game.

 

[Caccia]

I'm guessing Brown wants to keep Monk's playmaking with the 2nd unit.

It's like buying a Mercedes sedan and then saying, "I'll just keep it for driving the kids to school. It's safe and handles really well." Monk's first two coaches made the same mistake, which is the main reason he started exactly once in four years in Charlotte.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Smith just missed that dunk, there was no contact by Barnes

 

[LoungeLizard]

Green going to score 40 tonight

 

[HndsmCelt]

I love the offense, I feel pretty good about the game but I have to say a little bit of defense and some attention to the boards and we can put this thing away fast

 

[Sluggah]

I don’t understand this “first bus” talk.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Kings better be careful

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It's like buying a Mercedes sedan and then saying, "I'll just keep it for driving the kids to school. It's safe and handles really well."

It's actually nothing like that.

 

[Kingz19]

Have the Kings considered maybe being somewhere within 10 feet of Martin? After that, maybe inch closer and closer to where they may actually contest one of his shots by the end of the game?

 

[Letsgokings13]

The refusal to play defense is maddening. Also the lackadaisical fox has made an appearance

 

[iowamcnabb]

Kj “Thomas Bryant” Martin

 

[KF8]

is our defense designed to leave kj martin opened? so many dunks and threes with no1 within 15 feet of him

 

[dude12]

Rockets are going to sniff the chance to win here

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We're not exactly playing like a team that cares to win this game. We're playing like last year's team.

 

[SLAB]

Keegan’s stroke is so sweet.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The wildest thing about this game to me is that, somehow, the Kings still have more three-point attempts than Houston.

 

[Sluggah]

Seems like an effort thing…got real “coast until we’re down 10 in the 4th then scramble to play defense only to fall short” vibes

 

[LoungeLizard]

It’s sad that I never expect Davions 3 point shots to go in

 

[LoungeLizard]

Sabonis getting mauled all over the place with no whistles

 

[gunks]

Sabonis getting mauled all over the place with no whistles

Finally gets a call

 

[LoungeLizard]

About damn time

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Monk looks concussed

 

[HndsmCelt]

Monk looks concussed

Who do they think he is Sabonis?
