    Kings are 84% from the line.... Rockets 50%. SMH.

    This team totally lost its composite there in the 2nd. What does Sampson do? Feed the deficit. Having a complete defensive minded lineup won't work, you need a shooter to space the floor.

    I hope Mac is ok and wish for her return ASAP.

    Yep. Only 18 seconds left. Guess they didn't want Harden to get a shot.

    Bad first half. A 6-15 team scored 57 points. Yikes.

    I wonder if Sampson is not coaching as hard because the Kings are owned by Vivek Ranadive, an Indian.

    Win is a win, n we need every win we can get. Especially these "easy" wins.

    If the Rockets want to be a contender, they have to beat teams like the Kings. It's that simple. This is a must-win.

    Brooks 5 points in 6min and gets taken out.

    this is the thing we have to work on before playoffs when harden & parsons are not connecting, who will run plays to get them better looks? when the going gets tuff & 3s not falling the starting 5 tends to start forcing shots & just hoping harden ISO will work. This can be the difference between a good playoff & regular season team.

    They all count the same, if you want HCA through much of the playoffs these wins mean a lot more than those against good teams.

    There are more bad teams than good in the NBA. You'll split with the good teams most likely but you HAVE to beat these teams if you want a 1-3 seed in this league.

    80% of the message board are a special case.

    Anyway...bad defensive half. When the game gets tough, the defense is where we need to become locked in. That is where we will get our easy baskets from, not rushing the offense trying to make passes with a high degree of difficulty.

    This is a half time where Sampson needs to lock the doors and look everyone in the eye and ask what team they want to be. A second round exit team that is exciting or Champions.

    Howard is catching the ball to far away from the basket. Use the 4 to back screen for Howard at the elbow, as he moves down to the block he can get deep position and an early catch.

    Sounds like you'd be a good fit on this team.

    Rockets will pull this one out. Kings can't win late close games.

    This. The Kings could be up by 20 and I would still be confident.

    Good question, but it wouldn't be so bad if we didn't poop against other teams so often. We've had 4 really bad losses. 1 or 2 would be acceptable because it happens. It's just happening too damn often.
