    It gets sooo tiring to watch refs decide a game with phantom calls....I mean calls where you have 6 inches of air and no contact at all and you get a whistle.

    it's about to be a bloodbath. I hope a stray ball hits Taylor Swift in the teeth.

    i love her music though.

    David Stern's wondering why the league is losing money that's why. People pay good money to come watch the athletes play and they try to take over the f**king game.

    Malik Monk at Charlotte got his head slapped by Michael Jordan.

    Highlight of his Career.

    His threes were quite big during the 4th quarter comeback though.

    Thats basketball the easiest sport for the refs to decide the outcome. Get used it, I'm over it

    Ime Udoka is really bad with rotations. Do none of bis assistants tell him who is playing well and who isnt?

    Adams was clearly dominating but Ime did the Kings a favor by only playing him 15 mins.

    Gotta sell Dillon while value is high. It just sucks that he does have good chemistry with our guys.

    Really baffling why they can’t beat these teams that play fast or can shoot the 3 ball. They always have issues with the same teams.

    Absolutely correct.....these aholes aren't admitting they made a mistake. Even the entire TNT crew said on air that it's hard to beat 5 on 8. They know the score....and we do too. It's not enpough to break one off in you by having you on a b2b make sure to call phantom calls

    We only needed to comeback cuz he bricked every shot up until that point. Jabari can easily shoot 2-8 from three.

    plus he made a shot and gave it right back as he got torched by everyone tonight.

    The biggest positives here are Jalen continuing his superstar play and Rox facing a manic crowd and a very good western team.

    Sengun needs to wake the F up. Ime needs to know his own roster. Amen needs to work on his ball handling skills.

    Steven Adams should've stayed in the Game.

    When Alperen Sengun plays it is like a layup line or paint jumpshot. Easy points.

    Rookie NFaly Dante I am curious if he can show something on the Rockets in Shot Blocking, Rebounding, Alley Oop Dunker.

    Can’t knock the effort.

    Green got a great look, ball just didn’t go in. It’s a loss but good experience running plays for situations like that.

    Western conference is tough
