Rockets @ Kings Game Thread

[KP]

shareef 25 points last game and 8 points tonight...

He had 8 in the 1st half... he didn't score another point?

They're going to have to put the wheels back on first. They have obviously fallen off.

I think right before a major, tough road trip is the worst time they could choose to fire RA. There is no time to practice. Unless it is a coach who'll come in and not change the style immediately. Not unless you want to lose all of those road games.

Trust me it'll be Elston Turner.

 

[anarchis]

lose again arhhhhhhhhhhh, very dissapointed night after leading by double digit

 

[Stojakovic]

Anyone who wants to blame Adelman for this loss needs to look at that stat. 2-18, people. That would be a pretty crappy thing to be fired for.

Adelman has nothing to do with this loss. Yes...maybe the players stopped listening to him, maybe they stopped responding to him, but nobody is responsible for them going 2-18 and playing the lousiest brand of basketball night in, nigh out in a decade for the Kings.

Peja--------took 4 shots in the second half.

Thank you, I get so sick of the ignoramuses blaming everything on Adelman. Larry Brown or even Phil Jackson couldn't turn this group into a good team. They are missing some very key elements, like an solid post player and a slasher. The Kings have zero athleticism or interior stregnth.

AMEN sir charles

Hey I said in 20 games we should see what this team can do. It's been 19 and I know that its most likely too late to really turn it around for this team. Not that they couldn't down the line, but I don't think that they will get much more time.

The problems this team faces are VERY real, and VERY fixable.

 

[AriesMar27]

yes the kings suck..... we had a better team last season after the webber trade...

 

[OptimusRhyme]

We need a center, we need a shotblocker thats worthy of starting, we are way to weak around the basket. We have to stop giving Garcia time this year and let him sit down and watch like Martin had to do last year. We have Corliss we should be playing him instead, We need to trade Thomas or Shareef for a veteran swingman that can defend.
I'm so dissapointed with this teams effort.

 

[ForlornKing]

Peja--------took 2 shots in the second half.

That's the way it should be.

I know one of them was an air-ball.


Peja=Not Good in 4th quarter, don't give ball to him, you will get airball.

 

[KP]

Barkley and Kenny stating the obvious.

 

[Kings241]

Hart is starting to disgust me with pathetic offense. I cant see any hope on this guy. Great he has defense, hows that gonna help with a team that sucks at defense anyways.

 

[Bricklayer]

This one really hurt. We just have no confidence. Everytime somebody squeezes us we collapse.

 

[tradepeja]

if any of you thought an era wasn't over, it is now

lets just trade peja, fire adelman, and get on with completely rebuilding

the kings we knew are gone

 

[kennadog]

Trust me it'll be Elston Turner.

Well, I was thinking that as I was writing. Terry Porter could probably move in too.

 

[Stojakovic]

That's the way it should be.

I know one of them was an air-ball.


Peja=Not Good in 4th quarter, don't give ball to him, you will get airball.

Yeah, everyone else is just on fire in the 4th for the Kings !

 

[piksi]

Peja--------took 2 shots in the second half.

not bad considerin he only had 4 touches. He had 8 shots total. There is something wrong right there

 

[KP]

We need to trade Thomas or Shareef for a veteran swingman that can defend.

We can't trade Kenny he sucks and he has a huge contract.

I see where your comming from but... do you really think that we can put up a winning product on the road against teams that are all better then us.

 

[LMM]

once the rockets got the lead, you knew it was gonna be over. the kings just can't come back. oh man that meltdown was embarassing.. :|

 

[ForlornKing]

Yeah, everyone else is just on fire in the 4th for the Kings !

True, but when has Peja stepped up in the 4th?

 

[Kings113]

Peja--------took 2 shots in the second half.

Indeed.

STK I always like your optimism, but it's clear as day whats going on with this team.

Reef scored 8 points, then never got the ball again until the 4th quarter. One of the things I hate about Adelman's system is that he keeps Reef outside. Make him post up, darn it! With Brad drawing Yao outside, Reef would have had a field day inside. He did in the first quarter, yet ball barely touched Reef's hand until the last 5 minutes.

But Reef is not off the hook either. I know he has rarely voiced his opinion before, and that it has been a while since he took control of offense. But I am sick and tired of him taking passive role in the Kings' offense. Take charge, darn it! Demand the ball! Bibby, Peja, or Brad wouldn't have minded giving you the ball if you had shacked up under the hoop! Up until now it was the team that kept you out of the playoffs. But this time, if the Kings don't make the playoffs, the bigger portion of the blame definitely will be on your shoulder!

 

[anarchis]

i think peja is is not that bad, comparing to the last 3 or 4 games, he just rarely get good pass

 

[D-Mass]

We can't trade Kenny he sucks and he has a huge contract.

That's going to be our biggest trouble. Everyone says "make trades", but every game we lose like this lowers every player's trade value. Our stock is SO LOW right now, it's ridiculous.

 

[piksi]

Peja=Not Good in 4th quarter, don't give ball to him, you will get airball.

maybe watching the game would help.

When Miller is keeping the ball for 10 seconds and faking 3 shot and then give it to Pedja who was guarded with 3 sec on the clock. Pedja should have just let the ball go and there wouldn't have been an airball.
Watch the game sometimes - it helps

Corliss went in and got 3 fouls in near record time.
