    Still don't regret the trade though.

    Rox need some time to gel again. No big deal. Yea small step backwards in terms of playoff push - but honestly, it's better in the long run. How anyone can argue against that is beyond me.

    This. And the same people will say that we won the trade once he starts to perform.

    The guy is still a rookie for crying out loud! PPat and Douglas have done this before.

    Great game by TD, but not really surprised. We all know that TD can explode and have big games. The trade definitely has helped the Kings.

    I find it interesting that Clutchfans are going nuts after the Rockets lose to the Warriors, but I see the Kings beat the Clippers, Phoenix beat the Lakers, and a completely depleted Knicks team beat the Jazz in Utah. In the NBA anyone can lose on any given night.

    LMAO at Toney Dougles getting more playing time against the Clippers than Jimmer Fredette.

    Fredette. Big draft bust.

    lol. For kings, each win is a big loss. They need to tank.

    Yawn. Trade was for next season as much as this season, if not more. Give Robinson an offseason to work with the coaching staff and on his jumpshot. The guy has great physical tools, and could still be the reason the Rockets win the trade. Guys like Toney Douglas can easily be replaced at some point.

    They can but we've been replacing them with Beverlys and Flynns.

    Lol don't put Flynn on Bev! That's not necessary. Bev is a keeper. Good depth, energy, defense and composed. What's not to like?

    that's cause we're in a "what have u done for me lately" league/society... nobody got the patience to see robinson "grow" and "develop" his game and reaching his so call potential and upside. Not to mention we gave up 2 rotational player for this overrated project.

    Actually livingston wasn't that bad. Anyway I wasn't a fan of TD but he gradually grew on me, I don't mind losing PP and MM but TD was the one guy I wanted to keep, just a real soldier and he was actually outplaying Lin on several nights. If we kept him he might have made Lin expendable snce he was a good fit with Harden.

    Awesome game by TD. The Rockets would be a dark horse contender to win it all if only they had kept him and 2Pat. Miami...pshhh. Thanks Maury!

    i dunno why, but it seems the majority on Clutchfans are more patient with DMo's development, than they are with TRob's for whatever reason

    I'm glad TD took the opportunity and showcased his abilities, I hope he continues to do well in his career and get more recognition. Really wished we kept him, I feel like he could've made a bigger impact in those close games we lost.

    The crowd actually goes crazy when Fredette comes into the game. I remember when he came in when the Rockets played them on Feb. 10, the place went wild. Dude looks alright. I don't think he'll have a roster spot once his contract is up.

    I love when people make these claims knowing it's impossible to be proven wrong. The Rockets are getting knocked out of the first round. Patterson and Douglas would not have changed that. I've never seen a fan base so eager to make the playoffs and get knocked out of the first round. I guess that's what three years of 14 does to you.

    I want a championship team and if Robinson might help get us there quicker then I prefer the risk. All it costed was Douglas (who we can re-sign if we wanted in the off-season) and Patterson. What's funny is those of you who wanted to keep Patterson would be upset if we signed Patterson as a free agent for what he is going to get.

    Jimmer's defense sucks but I blame Keith Smart for totally screwing up his development. I mean the Kings are not making the playoffs and Smart still keeps him glued to the bench
