[Game] Kings vs Rockets, 1/14/2022 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Woot!]

Metu, Bags, Davis, TT, Buddy - and, yes, sometimes Fox - too many guys w/frequent tunnel vision for the basket.

When they're hitting, awesome.

When I checked a few weeks ago Terrence Davis was the only one on the team with a positive +/- at around 3. For what it's worth

I'd have to watch it again. It was a terrible camera angle but I saw Sengun extend his arm three times while driving and trying to create space for a hook shot before passing.

Yeah that's the play I was talking about. Alex Len got fed up by that exact Sengun move and two-hand shoved the youngster to the ground, maybe that was interpreted as rebounding?

 

[Tetsujin]

Queta looks like he's half a foot taller than Sengun lol

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

DJ Augustine is about same height as Mitchell. Not good.

My double main man HD has an irrational hatred of DJ Augustin. He still can't get over the fact that Charlotte drafted Augustin ahead of Brook Lopez.

Len did foul him on the rebound but the 24 sec violation came first I guess? Or the refs realized they missed the call on Sengun and gave Len one for free to make up for it.

What does the line "Two for a dollar" mean?

*incoming snark*

In 1998 two dudes at Stanford unleashed a handy tool for questions just like this.

 

[KainLear]

NEEMI!

 

[KainLear]

About time for Bagley to come back since we are having a hard time scoring...

 

[hrdboild]

Houston is turning this game into a track meet.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Queta slow up and down the court. Defensive liability so far. That time out might be to get him out and Bagley back in.

 

[miltonap]

Queta should get more playing time, He sets good screens and has decent feel for the ball

They are, indeed, the 2nd overall in pace

They've been exploiting his lack of speed to chase down this track meet. I think Bagley and Metu would've had a better time.

He's been having an impact on the boards but otherwise yeah, this is not a good matchup for him. Bagley and Metu can keep up with Houston, they should both be on the floor.

 

[KainLear]

Bucket! AND1!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

There was so much continuation on that play that Theis was complaining to the official about the call before Fox even shot the ball.

 

[hrdboild]

...or we could go small the whole game and lose to a crummy Houston team that's younger and faster than us by trying to outplay them at their game.

I know! (It was Matthews btw)

 

[PurpleHaze]

Fox can score on anyone or get to line every time he wants. And Philly knows it and might realize Simmons overall not quite as good as Fox - thus digging in on landing #5.

Fox is the only reason we're not getting blown off the floor by the 12-31 Rockets and you're happy cause it might improve his trade stock. smh

 

[Woot!]

Went to a hoops game and a track meet broke out.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

#25, #27, whatever. THAT one was on Theis!

 

[Sluggah]

Worrisome that we’re locked with Wood out since like the 4 minute mark of the first.

HA!

 

[gunks]

Damn, everyone playing for a ticket out of town or what? Haha

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Bagley is finding the ball

 

[Groovygreg]

MBIII is playing a nice game.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jalen Green is so bad at defense that its a miracle he isn't somehow already on the Kings.

 

[SacTownKid]

Fox at PG, Bagley at C. 4 years too late. Kangz.
