Rockets @ Kings Game Thread

[Kings113]

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

I tend to agree.

Hate those last two airballs though (Cleveland/Houston)

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.

Well we've seen this team play really well, and play very badly. Basketball is about timing, confidence, and consistency. If they can get to that point then, well, stranger things have happened. I mean, its not like that this has no talent. Talent wise they look like one of the better teams in the league. But talent doesn't always win you games however.

 

[Stojakovic]

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

It's been a while, but that doesn't matter. No matter what quarter it is, Peja needs to shoot the ball. There isn't much of a point of having him out there if he doesn't. If he misses one in the 4th, heck, two, three...he still needs to take that next shot.

 

[HndsmCelt]

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

We have no leadership. So you taek 5 very good players and they look terrible. It's not just Webber's tallent that left last season and so far none of these guys has been able to take the reins of leadership.

i get neither dude

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

Brad had the shot. He shouldn't have passed it up by passing to Peja with almost no time left on the clock. Dumb move by Brad. Don't know where his head was at. Don't know where any of these guy's heads are.

Nice McGrady saying he told his team to "keep fighting and these guys (Kings) will fold. And sure enough...."

You should be happy.

bench = horrible

those easy layups that we missed really killed us also.

This is a tough time. Arco's homecourt advantage has evaporated into thin air!

Agreed, especially when playing through an injury, and getting his confidence back. Anyone hates airballs.

You know, that seems to have been the problem for Peja forever now - rarely gets a good pass. To this day, I don't understand how a man can take all this criticism (he's soft, lady-like, pretty-boy, won't go for loose balls, etc.) and never , ever respond to it. How does a man not take that as an insult, man-up, demand the ball and show people that he can play like a MAN.

I don't think that's ever going to change for Peja. He obviously doesn't care enough about people calling him out, and he's obviously fine with people calling him a wuss and a softie.

one positive on the night, i got to watch the game at hooters!!!

You give me Vlade CW DC Pedja Mike Bobby etc and I give You a homecourt andvantage anywhere on this planet.

You can't build the hous out of crap. It won't hold a breeze

Call me an optimist, but I just look at this as a mini collapse. Still plenty of time to make few moves,regroup and finish season strong (Denver last year anyone?!). 63 games left...still plenty of time !!

Go Kings!!!

You're an optimist.

 

[Ekarin_SM]

so how did they blow the 14-point lead?

 

[OptimusRhyme]

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

All we need to know is

Corliss & Bonzi = Tough

Rest Of Team = Soft

Optimist!

 

[piksi]

Go Kings!!!

for what ?

for a 20-62 season

Konwing our luck if we went in with 99/100 balls into lottery - we wouldn't have had the first pick.

 

[Stojakovic]

one positive on the night, i got to watch the game at hooters!!!

Make that two positives...I just saved a bunch on car insurance with GEICO.

 

[vj9999]

You're an optimist.

Hey I have to justify money spent on League Pass somehow

 

[anarchis]

can't wait this coming saturday, the match up with seattle, hope kings doing fine this time, still remember abou peja fired up 9-10 from the floor for 25 points in jjust first half before injured his pinky by STUPID FORTSON

 

[D-Mass]

so how did they blow the 14-point lead?

by sucking.

Poor bench play at the end of the third forced Adelman to play the starters more...they got tired and started short-arming their shots.

 

[kingsville]

kings are famous for blowing leads , kings have been a offensive team since 1998-99 season . But we have always been a bad defensive team except for the 02-03 season with keon clark, j jackson and rest of the gang.

 

[kingsville]

the thing i love about the lottery is the balls .... like in the nfl the worst team gets first pick automatically . But nba you could be the 14th worst team , but you still have a chance for the first pick in the draft .

 

[ForlornKing]

Ok, ok, ok, ok. So, I've been a Kings fans and I haven't had to know much about the lottery but...don't call me stupid but how does the lottery actually work?

Do we just get a number and the lottery teams just randomly get selected?

I know it's a dumb question but...

Well, you never know whats going to happen with Petrie. He could very well start wheeling and dealing tommorrow. Or he could just wait until the season is over, let this team ride it out until then, and use the summer to start in a new direction.

He can be a very patient man. His moves in the past have shown that. I just hope he isn't too patient! I would like to see something done this season.

 

[anarchis]

so how did they blow the 14-point lead?

is like a culture, they'll loosen up at 4th quarter
