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

[HndsmCelt]

And the T death spiral in effect!

 

[Krunker]

Malone has the look of dismay

 

[Kingsfan23]

Ben has to show flashes soon. It's hard for me to keep tolerating him without seeing light at the end of the tunnel

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Are you even watching or do you know nothing about basketball? When a player elevates and you take a forearm and shove him it's a foul. .

Yea, he totally "shoved" him. HAHHAHA

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I love what Cousins did, no sarcasm.

 

[Entity]

Jimmer had about the worst circumstances possible to come into the league. He didn't get summer League, short training camp, lockout shortened season so there really was no practice time, another rookie drafted at his same position (IT out played him but most teams don't draft 2 rookies that play the same position) coach fired after the first 7 games, coach Smart was the coach that they hired to replace the coach they just fired and having said all that he still shot better that Maclemore.

Jimmer is no longer a king. Lets move on from this guys. Jimmer the elite shooter that he is will be snapped up quickly.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

What are you laughing at, those potential no-call could've changed the outcome of the game.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i usually defend Cousins but he is starting to pee me off, his attitude has been getting worse lately

 

[KingMilz]

I love what Cousins did, no sarcasm.

Are you serious? You commited two highly dumb fouls and took the ball to the rim soft 4 straight possessions coming up empty on all of them than instead of staying in the game and taking a loss like he man he pussed out and took the easy way out and got himself closer to a automatic susepnsion. I'm honestly sick of this and these efforts by the whole team they not even getting back past half court on defence that's pathetic.

 

[New Era]

I love what Cousins did, no sarcasm.

Yeah, it's great. He acted like a child, again, and got thrown out. What's so great about that exactly?

i was laughing at the guy saying DeMarcus shoved Howard. when he barely touched him

Yeah, I like that he let out his frustration. He ALWAYS gets reputation techs and this could've been one of them (couldn't tell what he said to "earn" the tech).

And who cares if he gets suspended for one game? It's not like we are in the race for eighth.

I was kidding.

Maybe Cuz is trying little too hard to be "fans love a bad ass" that Vivek anointed him recently.

He worked really hard to get both techs that time, why does he not let his furstration out by actually competing on every possession? Whats the point wasting it on the refs? Seriously maybe he would not fatigue so easily if he didn't waste all his energy talking to refs and actually focusing on what's going on out there.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Yeah, it's great. He acted like a child, again, and got thrown out. What's so great about that exactly?

Because DeMarcus doesn't get the worst techs/gets called for the worst fouls. There have been AWFUL/DREADFUL calls on him this year solely based on his reputation.

 

[The_Jamal]

I love what Cousins did, no sarcasm.

Yea, I love when our best player gets himself thrown out of games for no reason, especially with Coach already over with the refs. He should do that more often!

I see my Entity alarm is still working.

When you're frustrated you typically play worse as a result. You could see that when he put up 2-3 forced shots after getting mad.

Have you ever played the game before? I'll assume no, so let me explain to you. When you elevate, especially on an alley-oop attempt, if you get bumped, shoved, whatever you want to call it, and it knocks you off balance it affects your ability to complete your action (hence, Howard missing the dunk attempt).

Does that clear it up for you?

Gosh darn that Cousins. What's he doing getting himself kicked out of the game. We were really catching up, it was almost JUST a 20-point lead!!!

 

[Glenn]

None of us likes that Boogies loses his temper. We all know it happens. It's getting worse as we come to the end of an awful year. He also is a great basketball player. We hope he grows up and for awhile this year it looked like he WAS growing up. I don't know why he is regressing but it is no secret to those of us who watch the team. Let's get though this year as it appears that's the primary goal of the team, hope we actually get a great draft choice who works out well for once, and move on.

 

[rainmaker]

No excuses for Cuz. That was terrible. Is unacceptable.

I'm wondering why he's boiling over though and has been in a funk. I'm not at all convinced it's due to not making the AS game. That's a weak explanation. There has to be either a locker room issue which we had before, leading to the players only meeting, or he's fed up with the losing and the roster being a complete mess.

If it's the losing and this terrible roster, the pressure is extremely high on PDA to fix it within 6 months. I see little which suggests Cuz is a fan of going after high draft picks and the prospect of a multi-year rebuild.

Don't know what we would do without you.

This game is no fun. Why are you trying to make it worse for us?

I will put money on the locker room issue . I could even make a guess about the center of the issue and that WASN'T a pun.

I definitely think it's the bolded. We aren't close to becoming a play-off team with tis current roster (Gay and IT can potentially be wearing different jerseys beginning in October of this year)... BMac hasn't worked out well so far. We really need a good pick and a couple of good FA signings if we want a roster to compete for the 8th seed.

I think it's probably the losing, but it's still no excuse for him to not act like a professional. We were on a 2 game winning streak and were playing like crap tonight. That's no reason to act like he did.

 

[The_Jamal]

Respect the effort of the guys on the floor. Still trying to play hard.

 

[randymoss1881]

Dudes a clown end of story. Your a ****ing adult, act like one little kids don't even act like that. Where is his family to sit him down and tell him yo what the **** is wrong with you. If that's my son I would be flabbergasted that he still acts like this in his 20s. Then again his family probably let's him get away with it cause he plays ball

If that's the case ask for a trade or come out and play the game (actually play both ends) and stop wasting yours and everyone else time
