Ime Udoka blasts officiating after Rockets loss to Kings 12/3/2024

It must be Silver behind the scenes telling his refs they need more altercations to drive up the hype around the games since it's been losing viewership like crazy. Need to return to 80's/90's ball.

I knew some $hit was up when Crowder didn't get called for a clear Flagrant 1 on Jalen. Refs were out to stop the Rockets.

 

Yeah this was frustrating. I was pissed that Jalen got deliberately clawed across the face to the point of having to go stop the bleeding and the refs didn't even review the play. I don't know whether this was deliberately rigged or just hack-job officiating, but the Kings definitely got the better end of the stick and it may have changed the outcome here.

 

False premise if they're hacking the **** out of you on every play inside the paint.

 

I'm glad Ime took one on the chin for the rest of the team.

It was an obvious rig job.

Ticky tac fouls on one end and the Rockets getting mugged at the other end.

 

The officiating sucked but momentum shifted when Udoka went with a smaller lineup after Sengun sat down to favor his knee. He had Jabari at the 5 and tried it with Amen but Sabonis manhandled their ass. He should've had Adams or Landale out there.

If that were Dillon slapping players in the face he would have gotten kicked out the game. Sengun and Amen need to work on setting picks though. Those types of turnovers are costly when you got the refs taking away made three pointers.

I always say that in the NBA, in order for the referees to fall into line, a referee must be beaten. American society is soft, so no one has been able to do this until now. In Europe, referees who officiate games badly are beaten to bring them into line.

I wouldn't pin this loss on the refs. Blown assignments, missed FTs (when we did get them), getting outworked on the glass in the 4th (when the Kings finally missed), and having no one who could consistently stretch the D cost us the game.

The Rocket's strategy of missing shots and attempting to beat teams on the glass isn't a winning plan. The Kings did their homework on Tari's gambles, and there was no terror. He was a complete non-factor.

However, the lousy officiating made the King's job much easier. It allowed them to turn up their physicality and be rewarded when the Rockets tried to muscle in. The Kings have their young all-stars, and the refs nodded and obliged.

On the moving screens: that's a thing in the NBA that defenders can blow things up. We have quickness and should fight through drawing more fouls ourselves. Why go under the screen if there's a 65% chance you can draw an offensive foul? The Kings eliminated almost all the pick-and-roll through whistles. Amen is too small to hold his ground on those (or at least he couldn't make it work in Sacramento).

And the Rocket's fast break finishing and passing are terrible for a professional team.

 

Jalen for all of his faults does get a terrible whistle as well. He got cut after a follow through and they didn't even review it.

 

It’s a valid point, but we don’t have 4 shooters.

Hey, Sacramento was a feel-good story a couple of seasons ago and needed a boost in the recent standings. Enter the Dragon....well,, the league.

 

Hire Ron Artest (or whatever he's called now, Panda Express?) as goon assistant so he can beat up the refs when they are out of line.

 

No one has 4 shooters the way you're defining it. You just need your 4 best shooters whoever they are, let's do that first before worrying about the quality of our shooters.
