they're not a bad team without him. evans is now a bona-fide go to player and he's only getting better. you can easily say evans is a much better overall player than kevin martin already with his all-around game. kmart is too one-dimensional. evans' all-around game allows his teammates to elevate their play. and it's obvious evans is going to be an all-star guard in the future. there's zero doubt. the kings have a bright future if they can keep evans.
Wish he could but from his recent performances,to me Ariza would not play any better than tonight unless he could soon find a way to score instead of jacking up those ****ing irritating hesitant 3s from downtown. Just check it out,4 for 12 from the three-point territory,this guy needs some stops to do this,it's kinda killing us.I mean,his height and athleticism could help us inside the paint,why in transition he decided to pull up from 3 instead of attacking the rim most of the time? That,I should say,really ticked me off!
Yeah, Yao was out in Game 0 when we had the 22 win streak and the Lakers series. Taking about idiocy.
We're small.....it has NOTHING to do with heart. you simply can't count on that "energy" every night.....some nights you just don't have it. And the more and more tape teams get of us, they start to figure out you have to be ready to match that heart and toughness to beat Houston. So when Houston runs up against teams with more talent/size that match their energy......you'll get what you got tonight. Heart can only carry them so far......which will probably be somewhere around a .500 record. LMAO for christ's sake our starting center is 6'6.
The Kings are pretty good....if you think they're scrubs, well then we're scrubs too so what's the difference?
Perfect assesment ! I posted this earlier as I said the Rockets are who they are. We all knew what we had coming into the season and this is just what the Rockets are. They are small, young and inexperienced....Yes there is some potential there but without some trade or T-Mac coming back and putting up his old numbers the Rockets will play .500 basketball and miss the playoffs ........ Still lov'em though
No I don't think they are scrubs did I say that ? But the Nuggets are an elite team and the Kings are the youngest team in the NBA who made a bunch of crazy circus shots tonight...... The Kings are not the Nuggets and the Rockets aren't scrubs.....
they got 52 and 51 rebounds the past 2 games too, so this is nothing new. they've been a different team the past 4 games. give credit to them. they're going to be a pretty decent team this year.
Its bad we lost but at least it was 9 pts and not 24 or 25 pts like the Fakers. I noticed the problem was we got man-handled under the basket and no fouls got called, but when a Rocket player touched one of the Kings, foul on whoever it was. I thought we had the regular refs back, but tonight it was like having the replacement refs back. I hope we bounce back and beat the Fakers in the their house.
What about the free throw disparity? Kings 29-19 and 18-23 made.I mean,Kyle threw his body at his defenders and got no call from the refs,that kinda hurt sometimes. In the past,we wanted someone who could penetrate the paint and attack the basket,then we got some,got no call.What the hell was that?
The officials can be the difference between a win or a loss. There were 6 or 7 really bad calls. Fouls on the Rockets when it was the Kings who made the contact, no fouls called on the Kings when they made contact on the Rockets, etc. Those free throws are what put the Kings on top. We would've won if it wasn't for the bad calls.
