[Game] Rockets @ Kings - 2/10/13

[Bibbilicious]

I wonder if the free tacos have real meat or are a mixture of fake meat/pink slime like taco bell.

I got them last night after the game....I'd say closer to cat food haha

 

[Cwebb#4]

Wow, we actually beat the Houston JamesHardenJeremyLins!

 

[kingsnation]

Just got home to see the final score! Another great win for the guys tonight! Chuck!!

Jack In The Box tacos are corn tortillas filled with meat paste (tasty, tasty meat paste) and a slice of american cheese, then deep-fried whole.

They may be gross, but they're delicious.

Can't help but think if we had more crowds like this we'd win a heck of a lot more games...

And there's the paradox. If they won a heck of a lot more games, they'd have more crowds.

Someone please laugh at this...

[Cwebb#4]

That was pretty...eighties...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

You got a problem with the eighties, young blood?

That song was released in 1990, by the way.

 

[Cwebb#4]

Of course not, sir! The Kings came here to Sac in the eighties, after all.

Lol...schooled by the old guy.

You're walking on very thin ice, grasshopper.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It's all good; relative to him, I am the old guy. And, he was, indeed, schooled.

 

[Cwebb#4]

Who are you, Jackie Chan?

 

[VF21]

Yeah, but look at it from my viewpoint. If you're "old" then ...

...

...

...

 

[Cwebb#4]

Ha!

 

[VF21]

Who are you, Jackie Chan?

Well, let's see...

1. I don't know any martial arts.
2. I'm not Asian.
3. I'm not male.

Conclusion: I'm not Jackie Chan.

 

[Prog]

Disagree. On the more talent. Built better, sure... Our team is pretty stacked with talent, but it fits like a square in a circle.

I hear this a lot, but other than Tyreke (a guard who can't shoot), I don't see pieces that are hard to fit together. What I do see a small-ball-loving coach that has no clue about rotations.

A good statement. But Tyreke does fit in the circle for one reason: his trade value. I believe if we package him with Honeycutt we can get Danny Granger from the Pacers, or Pau Gasol from the Lakers.

Also, we should start referring to the coach as Coach Not-so-Smart.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah. Nice sample size. I tend to evaluate players over a season or so. Not one game.

In that case, shouldn't you be evaluating the Fish on all his good seasons as well?

First off, we don't trade with the Lakers. Second off, his foot literally just got shredded. Third, he's freaking old. And expensive.

He's 33. And, what about Granger?

 

[LWP777]

Yes...I don't believe he's ever had a "good" season. His stats may have been worthy but he doesn't help a team win IMO.

Chicago and the Bucks.

 

[Tetsujin]

Expensive and, in case you haven't been watching, scoring isn't our problem. This is also a moot point because, hey, Granger is injured as well.

 

[Tetsujin]

Who are you, Jackie Chan?

And really, Jackie Chan is your first choice for wise Asian stereotype?

 

[kingsnation]

Chicago and the Bucks.

I'm liking Salmons more this year than in years past. Mostly because he's been willing to take a backseat and just be a roleplayer. If this was 5 years ago, he'd be trying to take all the shots away from DMC and Reke (almost like IT...um, anyways....).

That being said, I don't feel like he was a major reason for the Bulls and Bucks' successes during those couple seasons. Both teams had decent talent. I've always felt like any team that has Salmons will always be, at best, a mediocre team. And that's exactly what those two teams were. Mediocre, able to be competitive in a 1st round matchup, but that's their peak.

With that being said, however, there is absolutely no denying the fact that when Fish plays well, we're usually winning or at least competitive.

While he wasn't the reason per se, he was a key part in solidifying their rotations alongside shaky young guards in D-Rose and Jennings as they made surprise runs at the playoffs.

I'll agree with that. And I'll also say that I believe that, when looking back at his career, those will be remembered for his all around best years. It's a shame we had him both before AND after those respective years.
