    Nah Jalen got a good look. He hit the shots to get us to that point. He just missed the last one. It happens.

    you can't be serious.

    Jalen had a WIDE OPEN look.

    How open do you want it to be?

    Refs realized it was one of the best comebacks of all time and decided to put his stamp on the game.

    Typical reffing BS you would expect under an Adam Silver led league.

    I'm happy Tari played a good game in his return. This isn't a bad loss. They competed on the 2nd night of a road back-to-back without their starting PG.

    It’s ok green. It was a clean look and great effort.

    They don’t all go in.

    The previously made 3 by green is why it stings.

    Man - why the f was Fred out exactly?

    Refs were the Rockets enemy tonight. Normally I don't blame the refs but that blown call on Brooks was blatant

    Ime should of had Adams and Alpi both in game with Holiday and Amen... Alpi sets screen for 3 and we have Adams and Amen ready to rebound and Holiday and Green still at arch for kickout 3

    refs know because it’s Dillon Brooks, they can get away with the BS and most fans won’t question it

    only Dillon is getting those AI generated fouls called on him to rig the game

    Brooks is one of those, "you can't call every foul" player. he dares you to call it on him. he will get away with more playing like that if the refs are some hoes.

    By the way, so glad to see Eason out there. The man was rusty and he still put up a great game.

    Idk. Throwing the ball to sengun with his back to basket should have been an easy chance to foul for the Kings. I couldn't believe we threw it into to Sengun.

    Those 2 Turnovers, that is lack of experience.

    The Kings Players are really old DeRozan, Sabonis. Fox only 27, Murray is Youngest at 25.

    This Kings Team gets the most touch Fouls, like the Lakers. Free Throws advantage.

    Can't win them all, but our guys tried their best and played their hearts out in the closing stretch of the game.

    This one hurts, but despite playing a pretty awful game, we were in it despite being down 16 late in the third.

    Wish we stopped leaving so many points at the free throw line, but honestly turnovers killed us even more than that.

    STILL. Down two significant starters, our young guys had a chance to grow and play in a close game against a decent-to-good opponent. There are a few things to iron out, but I am happy with how they did. Oh and it was the second night of a b2b too, so the energy was great despite that.

    This type of game might be similar to Texans and Chiefs. Referees rigging the game at the end for the Chiefs.

    No matter what, the Rockets are the best team in the West not named Oklahoma City and rightfully the 2nd seed.
