Not sure if it's already been mentioned in this thread (too lazy to read 15 pages), but looking at the boxscore, Battier had 7 blocks? Unless it's a misprint, that's pretty impressive.
Watching the end of the game was tough. Landry sealed it with free throws, and the crowd was booing him. I was so torn
Aaron had a pretty bad game but I think we all need to remember this is his first season as a starting PG. The guy is only going to get better at developing those essential PG skills to complement his shooting, but they were missing tonight.
It's funny that this is a bad game for Brooks. I mean, I agree it is, but in a bad game Brooks apparently scores 22 points off 25 shots. A bad game for Tyreke Evans? 9 points off 22 shots.
"Tough luck loss"? "Some nights you don't get the bounces"? I love blind, delusional optimism like this. How about: We f*****g suck! Let's at least start off by telling the truth. We lose to a 5-26 road team that shot 32% from the field. That is unheard of. It'd be one thing to lose to a 5-26 road team that got lucky and shot lights out. Instead, we faced an absolute turd of a team that played its usual turd of a game and we still lost. We should be banished to Turdistan. We suck. We f*****g suck. How much more obvious does it have to be? Does anyone go to the games or watch them on TV? WE. SUCK. ARSE. I've noticed the "knee-jerk" accusers have gotten awfully quiet of late. Maybe we should call those people knee-jerk who think we're "so close" to making the playoffs.
Of course he will be booed. Your own team > a player that has played for you. Period. In fact, I'd rather the Rockets win than to see a just-out-of-retirement Hakeem win on a different team against us.
Getting lots of lucky bounces on the boards is no different from hitting lots of lucky shots. I agree it was an ugly game, but then, I came into it expecting Landry to have a monster game and blow us out... that's just the kind of guy he is. I'm just glad we kept it close right to the end.
6-23. No player for the Kings had more than 1 turnover, according to the box score. And not to be outdown by the above, but the Rockets are looking like a lottery team. However, we get the T-Wolves next.
Pin this one on coach Adelman who deserved to lose because he won't adjust his rotation no matter how much it's obvious he needs to.
I love what Adelman draw on the last play. Aaron got a wide open 3 and just missed it. Could have been big.
One aspect of this game that I'm greatful for is finally getting Landry out of my system. I had way too much love for him as a member of another team. Glad that's over. Still like him and all, but I won't be checking his stats every morning.
