Here is your Rockets v Kings game thread. We need this one, and hopefully we'll play to our recent pattern.
Sacramento is a young team with a lot of talent, and they shredded us on the boards last time, which proved the difference in the game. They're playing much better than anyone expected, either their talent is meshing better, or they went out and hired an honest-to-God NBA coach.
Big athletic PF/C types have been giving us trouble this season, so we'll see if we can't control the Kings version of that guy in Jason Thompson, who had a big night against us in Sacramento. Tyreke Evans looks like the real deal, but also might be a bit banged up (it is evidently against his machismo to admit that). Also, if Beno Udrih plays against us like he did last time, I'll... I'll...do something extreme.
Last night in Atlanta was a heartbreaker, but I believe the Rockets will come out with energy and a desire to wash the bad taste of last night's amazing near-comeback out, and commit REGICIDE. DEATH TO THE KINGS! Or at least, defeat to the Kings!

Tyreke Evans out with a sprained middle finger....
I’m guessing on his shooting hand? Improves our chances…

Sorry I've been AWOL lately, folks
NBA League Pass is finally up and running again, and my busy week has come to an end. You’ll have a recap of sorts tonight. Really wish I could have seen the ATL game.

We should start Landry
Just so we can win the tip

But in all fairness
Yao never won many tips from what I remember. And he’s Yao.

Disappointing
without Martin and Tyreke Evans, we let the Kings back into the game. Now it’s a tossup situation, and with our late game offensive execution/play calling, I’m not very optimistic.

Lowry is flat out outplaying Brooks
Brooks is a -9, Lowry is a +9

Another solid win for the Rockets.
I’m wondering where this +9 and -9 is coming from? NBA.com and yahoo sports says + 9 and -1

My hypothesis is still holding out ...
We perform better on re-matches against teams that have beat us, because of our strong will to win.
But guys, have you read the latest article of Justice about TMac? As usual, TMac’s drama

I'm likin' the anti-monarchist spirit, Xiane.
Red Nation doesn’t tolerate that kind of crap.

Lol
No indeed.
Death to the running dog paymasters if monarchy!
Go on, try to beat them. Try to score on them. Stay in front of those guards. Try to tap out an offensive rebound on that Lilliputian front line. They're so awful, you're so good ... go on. Beat ‘em. - Kelly Dwyer on The Rockets
