Remember that the Rockets split the season series with the Wizards and Raptors, also other teams like the Bucks. there is nothing that tells me the Rockets can beat the 6ers, Bulls, Magic, or Heat. All I'm saying is you can't just take one team from one conference and assume the Rockets would be in the playoffs if they were in that other conference. Just like everyone assumed the Rockets would beat the Kings... The fact is the Rockets are a mediocre team, if they had not dropped half of the games they did to lotto bound teams they would be in the playoffs in the west.
I was so annoyed @ the score I saw when I came home last night that I didnt even look at anything else... so now that I have, 2 things... Martin missed 4 FTs???? WHAT!?!? Thats a win right THERE. Memphis LOST to the Clippers? DAMMIT!!!! the season is gone... because of a loss to the Kings. I know its due to MANY things, but wow... its specifically because of the Kings and we couldve gained ground. gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I saw this coming. The Kings only strength is in the one area of our weakness. Big huge guys in the middle.
Scola didn't get enough touches down the stretch. Lee, Martin, and Lowry were dominating the ball, and wasting posessions. They had some heroics right at the end, but Scola should have been their bread-and-butter.
They should have been going down low to Scola and playing inside out instead of jacking up shots. That's on Rick Adelman.
Did you guys actually watch the game? Scola was couldn't back up Cousins or Dalembert. They couldn't even get him the ball down there.
