Post-Game Analysis: Kings 84, Rockets 81

i can take a bad shooting night, but when you get your ass handed to you in rebounds as well, that's just pathetic.

ps. were Dorsey and d. howard separated at birth? i never noticed how much they resemble each other.

 

Landry scored 4 freaking points in the 4th quarter.... Four. That's it. And to of them were on free throws where the Rockets were forced to foul at the end.

Stop acting like putting Jeffries on Carl was what lost the game. Jeffries did just fine on Carl. It wasn't a "bone-headed" move by Adelman. It was smart.

 

Battier and Scola the only two guys who came to play tonight!

 

he's played 5 games, get a grip

 

Good observation. Looking at his line, he did have a pretty game tonight though.

 

I hope Adelman either rips the hell out of the rockets in the locker room tonight, or gives them the silent treatment.

 

I still can't get over how many FTs we missed tonight.

16 for 26.

 

Seems like the Rockets traded away all their hustle when they traded Landry?

 

Idk about that. It seemed like we were playing 4 on 5.

 

Dang the Rockets made a kid in the audience cry from this loss.

 

To the folks who say how can you blame AB....

Easy......

1 missed FT to tie the game

Forget the rebounds, forget the horrible shooting, forget the other 47 minutes. less than 10 seconds to go, 2 point game with 2 FT (Evans made a stupid foul)

He missed one being a 82% FT shooter.........

 

he's played more like 500 games since being in the NBA. Martin isn't a rookie. there's no excuse for playing like one against such a bad team like Sacramento.

 

This is why we lose the game!!!

 

Or maybe he is congratulating them on a job well done if we are already in the tank mode.

 

games like this makes me miss having a true pg.

God I want lowry back.

 

cool...you should have started a thread about how much you disliked him before this game.

bottom line is that martin/brooks has been insanely hot since martin began starting. they were at like a combined 65% true fg% in those 4 games. they were due for a bump in the road.

 

Kevin's played more like 500 games since being in the NBA. Martin isn't a rookie. there's no excuse for playing like a scrub against such a bad team like Sacramento.

 

I think Andersen did too. But Adelman decided he was doing to good and need to be benched.

 

This isn't AB's fault we know who AB is by now.. This is Adelman's Fault all the way.. Jeffries wouldn't have been in the WHOLE 2nd QTR!

Everything he did Chuck would have done WHILE hooking people up with passes from the high post.. and grabbing a few extra rebounds.. and playing Carl more physical.. I have no idea why he was on the bench..

Chuck gets people shots so they don't have to create which was clearly our problem today.. all those back doors Jeffries wasn't even looking at.. Chuck would have at least entertained.. and probably connected on a few

 

Martin looked completely passive out there. Say what you want about Brooks but the game isn't even close without him.

This would have been a 10+ Rockets win with Lowry. Of course, I've felt that way about every loss (except for the Jazz game) since he went down.
