Kings @ Rockets | Dec 5, 2015

Willie broke his finger and is out for the next two months, which means Rudy Gay will play more 4, which means Karl is gonna play Rondo-Collison even more.

I am SHOCKED that Rondo-Collison isn't starting.

We are playing some junk ball out there.

You can only effort your way into wins so many times. This is a clear and obvious lack of understanding and/or lack of systemic foundation out there. The amount of open 3's they give up is something that can and needs to be corrected. Good thing the Rox don't have a ton of shooting out there because any middling team would be dumping all over the Kings just like the C's did the other night.

They simply don't have the defensive fundamentals in place, period. Unacceptable.

This is teetering right now. And by that I mean the entire situation at hand. We've seen the look of a team on the cusp of not giving a crap. The Rockets were just that, of course until the Kings came to town!

They cab still get something going but this looks oddly familiar does it not?

Another game, another 30 point quarter allowed.

Not watching but is Collison still playing like garbage? Complaints on another board.. All the good will from last season going down the drain..

Collison is probably the only one looking decent out there. I don't know what they are watching.

So happy to see Ben McLemore playing well. He's got good instincts, but he's so afraid of making mistake, he overthinks and makes the wrong decision more often than not. Let it come naturally, and you see the real Ben McLemore. Look at him tonight, and you see no hesitation.

It's a mystery how they are winning this game giving up nearly 50% from 3 and DMC in foul trouble.

If the Rockets decide to blow it up, and the Kings are still intact themselves, I wouldn't mind seeing the Kings try and pick up someone like Ariza or Brewer.

Karl clearly either doesn't preach defense or the team doesn't listen. Or the scheme doesn't work. Whatever the reason the defense is a joke game in and game out.

The Kings can do wonders when the team on the other end is just fine meeting the Kings halfway on the defensive end. :lol:

Wow... Rondo got caught ball watching like a son of a gun. Then they hit a 3... then a ridiculous 1v4 attempt by Collison turned into another 3. I just don't get it...

Time to go back to the drawing board defensively. In fact, break it in half with a hammer. Then burn it. Then take the ashes and put them in a blender. Then take the blender and send it to the moon. Then take the moon...

Well, bright side of this trash game is that Collison and BMac played well
