    It's extra f*cked if the league still doesn't review that post-game and add a flagrant (maybe even a flagrant 2, but that's prob too much) to Jae's record for the season.

    Dirty mofo he is.

    Rockets should have lost a few more games like that Sixer game where they missed several wide open looks late. Kings didn’t miss. Rockets once again stalled on offense on long stretches. The terror twins bailed out the Rockets in several games with key plays late. They couldn’t do it last night. This team still needs to figure out how to move that ball and attack the rim efficiently. Not there yet.

    You guys shouldn't complain. Jalen's eyes fouled Crowder's fingers. That's clear as daylight. We're lucky the refs call a foul on Crowder and not on Jalen.

    • There has to be a much better and more professional balancing act of being able to compete and realism/smart decisions.

    • You cannot go off as a head coach because you think the game is winnable and the refs are out of line......
    • By the same token, you cannot go off into the stands as Tari did because you were frustrated with fans and the game.

    • You just can't

    The more you complain, the more you get screwed by the refs

    Very nice, but I think Udoka, Sengun, and a billionaire owner can pull together to scrap up a few dollars. The Kings have an excellent starting five and will be a playoff team by season end. They didn’t need the help of the refs, but for some reason got it “big time”. Every one is sugar coating the truth which is that the game was fixed. No rationale person can say otherwise. Not sure why, but this was more than an occasional missed call. Officiating has improved dramatically the past two years, so let’s hope this isn’t the start of going back to the old days where reffing was rigged on a regular basis in favor of teams like the Lakers and Warriors in the West.

    The game is played on 2 sides of the court. The Rockets offense, while horrible at shooting, has been averagish due to having multiple great offensive rebounders and having a PG that keeps the turnovers down. The Kings game was close enough that the Rockets were within 2 possessions late despite the Kings making 46.7% of their threes. The Rockets defense is good enough that if the offense remains averagish, they will at least be in the 3rd seed to 10 seed pack.

    I'm expecting Jalen Green will either play better or that someone else will be the starting SG come playoff time.

    The downsides of sports gambling have been obvious for over a century. Human nature doesn't change.

    Refs went hard against the Rockets. Its almost like they got a call, because in a dime, the Refs started to swallow the whistle against thee Kings and laid down the gauntlet on the rockets.

    Listening to Michael Franzese on YouTube, basketball is the easiest sport to rig…. I don’t know if it was Silver calling or Las Vegas, but someone must have bet big money that the Kings were going to win.

    Yea, it was too obvious. My son just sent me a link to PrizePicks last week. That was my first time betting and I won $440 on a power play thanks to Dillon getting that 3rd assist against OKC. There's just no way the refs didn't benefit from the Rockets losing. Hell some of the fouls Dillon committed were so dumb I wouldn't put it past him or any other player to purposely struggle or get in foul trouble to help a friend or family member win some money.

    Definitely. The ball handler not waiting doesn't mean Sengun needs to lean into the defensive player and commit the foul though, and it was just a matter of time before they started calling offensive fouls on Amen for pushing off when setting picks. This is what I was referring to.

    That’s a lot of balenciaga outfits for Eason and Sengun. Look for them to have on homeless fits the next ig rockets update.
