ClutchFans Game Thread: Kings @ Rockets 1/2/2021

Lol. He plays good defense an entire quarter and this gets posted after one bad play.

 

Man, things looked good there for like 5min. Now back to Sacramento scoring every time down and being down 1-2pts constantly.

 

who said that? nobody was saying that.

 

I don’t think anything is as bad as this defense. EG definitely a close second.

 

I'm honestly interested in seeing how good the kings will be like 20 games later.

 

"good defense an entire quarter" lol.

 

They are still too damn small

 

I would love to know what Harden is thinking right now lol

 

Yup I agree.

 

We kinda have a stacked roster at the versatile 2,3 spot. Not only that, we're trying to get a trade done and we can't trade anyone who isn't even good enough to get on the court.

 

And when you take into account minutes played and usage it is much more informative.

A high minute, high usage players +/- is more telling than just a rotation player who only catches and shoots.

 

What he really needs to do is gain some mass. He's extremely skilled and explosive. But he can get pushed around easily. Therefore he can't always get good positioning. He gets pushed around easily.

 

We were smaller last year. We just had better coaching, system and players.

 

Why not trying to play zone? Try something .. whatever they are running defensively is not working

 

Rockets just watching the ball.. get the rebound.

 

I think the Kings offense is just a lot better than we are used to seeing from them. They play very fast and put shots up very quickly.

 

They've outscored us by 12pts in 5min, cmon.

 

This. His biggest problem is his frame or lack there of. He's the skinniest guy on the team by a long shot.

 

A combination of not boxing out, bad rotations, and the Kings not missing a freaking 3 lol. Not good.

If we'd just put a body on someone for rebounds these second chance points crap will stop.

 

Stacked is a stretch with the horrible defense that they play. We don’t need guys who play only offense out there. It’s nice to have a mix. Especially with Harden is a walking offense himself. Just dumb coaching.
