Ime Udoka blasts officiating after Rockets loss to Kings 12/3/2024

I wouldn't either. But two things can be true. The refs don't deserve to skate away without scrutiny for the hatchet job we witnessed. Makes no sense when the offensive end is WWE and the defensive end is non-contact. The play of the team is not going to be mutually exclusive from that kind of BS, tactically or emotionally.

 

This one would need a 36 minute report.

 

That's because that ish hit so hard that Jalen's face was the only follow through. Like a stiff arm slap.

 

The problem is why is Ime hellbent on winning every game...

This game meant a lot more to the Kings than the Rockets, Kings are down in the standings so far....

You can try to win it but if it gets your players ejected or injured, I don't give a fork about that game itself.

 

If you're gonna be sarcastic, please make it obvious. Otherwise, if you're promoting violence, I got nothing for you.

 

I agree with 99.99% of your takes but strong dsagree on this one. It's because you want to build consistency and culture. Also it's because you're a competitor who want to win every single game. It's because despite all the bad calls, we STILL could've won the game

 

For the NBA, there is nothing to see here. The two-minute reports are only published when the score is close late. Other games aren't scrutinized, so you must say something when losing by 10. Otherwise, it's business as usual.

The NBA can spin things that you're running your mouth over nothing, but the video in this thread does not lie.

The veteran Kings were given help to put them over the finish line.

 

It is not about agreeing or disagreeing, if the opponent is out to injure you, you file complaints to the league and the Players association.

And you already qualified in the Cup and that game had solely a consolation meaning.

It's about survival of the roster to me.

I guess the Kings see the Rockets as a rival now.

 

And I don't have a problem with your saying, I just don't have that 'on edge' mentality every single minute.

I try to view everything in the grand picture of things as well.

 

Not only was it an arm to the face, but Crowder fking clawed him, like Draymond would do

 

Damn, I wish Stone would have the balls to file a protest

 

Post of the off-day. Maybe the refs could not see because Baron Von Raschtke had them in the Iron Claw as well.

 

They would have said something like "after review, while there was inadvertent contact to the face, it doesn't meet the criteria for a flagrant foul. Common foul, Rockets to shoot 2 free throws."

 

You forgot that the foul occured before the shot attempt so it would have been a side out instead of free throws.

 

Disgusting and extremely dangerous move. All damn day for someone to even consider looking at this further and nothing.

 

That and not defending Kings dribble drive or Derozan coming off a screen to shoot that FT J. Rockets couldn’t stop that. Brooks and Adams played terrible but was still in the game. Holliday came in too late for Amen. Still don’t understand why Tate doesn’t play when he can give energy and defense.

 

If we didn't get hosed by the refs, we would b hosting the mavs and letting the thunders Duke it out with the warriors.

Now we have a harder path in the playoffs

 

The west is likely going to end up with a bunch of teams packed 3-10. Maybe the Rockets are better than that pack such that 1 game doesn't matter. Maybe the Rockets are worse such that 1 game doesn't matter. If the Rockets end up in that pack, 1 game could be the difference between making playoffs outright or needing to win a game or 2 in the play in. I don't see it as a consolation solely.

 

Yeah just listened to everything Ime said. He was upset about the missed assignments and even pointed out Fred and Dillon for some of their mistakes. Allowing over 40 points in the 3rd Q did not sit well with him either.

Its not the first time he has mentioned missed assignments on defense. Are we slowly reverting back to bad habits? I hope its not the case and it was a one off night.
