    Great game from Parsons. Nice first showing for TJones!

    Solid if not great work from Asik and Lin. Harden too though he made some... "interesting" decisions here and there.

    Bench was terrible tonight aside from the hustle from Bev.

    TJones earned himself some minutes tonight.

    i didnt understand this move as well. lol

    great game all around by our guys except maybe james because we expect more from him. hopefully he bounces back soon because we need him and cant expect parsons to light it up every night.

    As much as I want to celebrate the win, I can't help but worry about Harden's decline since his injury. He was a mediocre defender already, now he's downright terrible...worst of all, he puts no effort on that end. He's also half a step slower which is the difference between an all star Harden and a superstar Harden.

    Good team win. Good subs and playcalling by McHale and I often criticize him for this. The only thing I would have done differently would have been resting Harden a bit more.

    On the topic of Harden, he really needs to stop relying on refs to score. He is also holding onto ball a bit too much at times. Hopefully, he will come to trust his teammates a bit more.

    Good win and good night.

    No, although Cousins more athletic, Asik more mature and his offense improving.
    Who is better G Smith or T Jones?

    Kings Announcers are in love with Parsons.

    I think Harden should sit a few more games if we can afford it.

    Doesn't look quite right.......but then again McHale has been running the man into the ground all season long.

    yea they had a part in our run this seasons, PPat and TD gave us some great games and Aldrich did what he can do for us. I still appreciate these guys.

    Wow this was a risky game. There was some shoddy transition and help defense by Houston. Also, when Harden is locked at the top and the other four are cleared out on the sides, the ball still tends to stop moving and the other players don’t move either.

    I really like those little PnRs Harden & Lin play off of each other at the top of the key. Lin played really good defense down the stretch against Thomas. Harden had some really sloppy plays, but in the end Lin put in a big 3 and Harden had the nice full court pass to Asik to pretty much put the game out of reach.

    Very nice to see TJones get minutes, great job tonight! Maybe Parsons needs to eat more TexMex … excellent game.

    I like what Lin did at the end, he immediately ran over to the King’s side to hug his friends.

    Harden & Lin = 19assts
    Evans & Thomas = 5assts

    Because the Kings are too broke to afford a real coach

    I'm guessing after tonight TRob will not be suiting up again unless there's garbage time? Kid needs a few months down in the Dleague and summer league to refine his game.

    I was thinking I was just paranoid but you are spot on. I hope both of us are wrong.

    :( He definitely looks hampered out there. Hope he can get more rest down the stretch.
