[Game] Kings vs. Rockets - 25 FEB 2014, 22:00 EST/19:00 PST

Hardin with 30

 

[Kingster]

Cuz didn't want to play in this game from get go. Didn't get down the floor on D at all. Just ridiculously poor effort. Maybe he's still sentimental about the All Star berth. Like Malone said before: "It's pathetic."

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Nah come on are the three refs holding our players back from crossing half court?

They're calling touch calls all the time for Harden.

Umm, he's hustling better than a few weeks ago.

Except Cuz is quite possibly the only King who's proven capable of doing anything tonight

Then we need to stop reaching in on him.

Waiting for BMac's shot to fall is like waiting for Tyreke to develop a jump shot

 

[Npliam]

See, I have been telling you guys that Jimmer was holding the team together!

 

[KingMilz]

lmao this is one of the better posts I've read

 

[Npliam]

New strategy: Just give Demarcus the ball

That should have been the old strategy.....

Except that, even when Evans can't hit water, he still does other things to help his team. If McLemore's not scoring, he's dead weight.

 

[enigma99a]

Lol when grant says they are within 20, you know it's bad

I doubt it. Ben had a jump shot in college and Tyreke did not. It's OK to be negative in a game like this but at least be accurate.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Reggie ahead of acy in rotation?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Reggie Evans>JT

BUT MY INDIGNANT ANGER NEEDS SOMEWHERE TO GO!

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings did good job late in quarter keeping Rockets under 70 for the half is one way of looking at it.

 

[Tetsujin]

James Harden is on pace for 60 points. Amazingly, we're only down 18.

 

[KingMilz]

I like the Reggie + Cuz combo

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We scored 51 at the half, and we're getting our brains beat in; I saw it with my own eyes, and I still don't believe it!

And yet, there are still people on here who think scoring is the problem?

 

[Tetsujin]

Positives: Demarcus was scoring at will on the Rockets interior, Ray Max played some relatively solid role player minutes, I just saved 15% on auto-insurance by switching to Geico.

 

[PurpleHaze]

James Harden is on pace for 60 points. Amazingly, we're only down 18.

Well, at least Kobe Bryant's 81 point explosion January 22, 2006 is not in danger - is one way of looking at it.

 

[Tetsujin]

Is Quincy injured or something?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Reggie Evans is +7. Next best Kings player in the first half, Ray McCallum with -2

As the guy who's grading him and following him closely, you're wrong(although I'm still mid 2nd watching).

His effort was fine. He sat due to two fouls. Why did you ignore those fouls in your post? Likely because your hero was responsible for both. First, IT didn't wait for Cuz to set a screen up top before trying to attack off the screen. It's basic fundamentals that guards don't attack until the screen is set. The second, a bad pass from IT where Cuz picked up a foul just trying to control the pass.

The idea you single out Cuz, likely to once again take any and all attention away from your hero, is the only thing here I'd label pathetic.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I'm am just mind-boggled at how mcLemore can't shoot well. It's not like he's lost his shot overnight. I just don't get it. Why can't he shoot like he did in college?

Stop.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Aaron Gray only played 3 minutes and had a -15 +/-


Outlaw's -11 in 2 minutes also impressive

Fear/anxiety, it's all mental he's not comfortable still imo.

Yes, and kind of why not? Reggie has a presence out there.

Although in this one you certainly could have put Acy in for any of the other bigs not named Cousins.
