Rockets @ Kings Game Thread

[Twix]

They were going to lose one sooner or later. I'm not very upset about this one... sure I would have loved to see a win but realistically we just couldn't match up with Yao and Deke both having very good games...

Also, Tmac and Mike James having great games too.

Brian Skinner cost us the game.

Hubie Brown made a very good point. He said last Sunday they talked to Adelman before the game and Rick didn't know what was going to happen. How would the new guys fit in, etc. Now, a week later the new Kings are 3 out of 4. That is NOT bad at all.

The team we played had more talent thats all.

Darn! We lost!

Good game though. Hard to stop a lot of their players especially when they were shooting hot and even making tough shots. Also, lots of credits to Rockets. They made shots when Kings got a run...making sure Kings couldn't get anything going.

Magics this Tuesday...COME ON KINGS!! Let's get back to the Win column there!

Brian 3-7 6 points 11 boards 2 steals and a block what more can you ask of the guy. No defense, and bad shooting nights for bibby and mobley is why the kings lost the game.

How was it Brian?? He brought so many energy when he was on the court. The only reason he didn't play much was cause he had to guard Yao and that's tough.

Most of that was in the second half too. If it wasn't for Him and Cat we wouldn't have even been in the game. I think he had 1 reb at the half.

 

[mazzystar]

Imo the turning point was when the kings were down 5 and house turned the ball over.

well, if it is not Finley - it has to be him

^I agree with both statements.

oh well.... cant win them all.....

The position where Tracy McGrady missed a shot and the ball was going out of bounds, Skinner decides to try and get the ball, but he can't and it goes off him. That cost The Kings the game.

 

[mazzystar]

So even if the doesn't touch the ball, who's to say the Kings win???

 

[swisshh]

The poor transition defense hurt us and that bonehead move of putting Corliss at center which gave Houston their 15-17 point lead is what cost us the game.

Blame a guy who gave his best


we lost because their back court killed/destroyed/murdered our non existent back court.

Oh and Houston is just more talented team at the moment

Agree.

The only bad thing is we losed to the team who is chasing us in the playoffs race.

True that. Least the guy hustles and plays D.

Yeah, I'm sure that was it. Not the fact we were playing arguably the hottest team in the NBA who had just come off a 20-point win in Phoenix.

 

[mazzystar]

does anyone know, if the kings do get the 6 spot, and if they win the series, who would the kings play? or how bout the 7 spot, they win, they play who?

 

[Since93]

there's no way the Kings will get higher than 4th.

 

[6th]

The Houston Rockets started the season very poorly. Once Yao and McGrady got it together and involved the scrubs, and they picked up Deke to back up Yao, they have turned into a MUCH better team. They are on a roll and beating contenders. They killed Phoenix. We played them very well without Brad...IMHO.

Houston will be a surprise in the playoffs. Keep an eye on them. They are playing better than most people give them credit for. In spite of all that....


GO KINGS!!!

Skinner gave us what seemed like MANY second chance opportunities to score so he can't be blamed. We just ran into a very hot rockets team who made tough shot after tough shot. The team turned the ball over at pivitol points in the game and it cost them. Considering how bad our guards shot the ball I thought the team played a hard fought game.

 

[bballagrl24]

yea...skinner was the player of the game...he was actually trying out there.

 

[AleksandarN]

BINGO. Unfortunately with all our injuries we might not have enough to contend with some of teams talent wise; that is heart and grit is all about. Lets see what this team is made of the in the next month and a half.

 

[funsc]

RA should let Evans be on the court. Mobley was awful today! 8-24

 

[TXSactoFan]

evans played just 7 mins.. would have liked to see more of him.

 

[funsc]

Agree.

The only bad thing is we losed to the team who is chasing us in the playoffs race.

And... to be the 6th seed is not bad. However, I don't want to see Kings join in the party for chasing the 8th seed.

I agree. This game could have been a blowout but Kings kept hanging tough in there and I'm glad for that.
