Other dude was pulling his leg while he was trying to stagger away giving DG momentum to step off of him. Not defending anyone, but that's what it looked like to me.

Draymond has not earned the benefit of the doubt at this point in his career.

To be fair warriors were heavy favorites in this series. Warriors we’re around -250 to win the series before game 1

We're all aware this is a seven game series, right?

My Bucks have been up 2-0 and lost to the Raptors in the 2019 ECF and down 0-2 and won the Finals in 2021. Let's chill a bit.

Are you betting the warriors then?

What have the warriors showed in the first 2 games that gives you confidence?

Really? That seems very surprising to me. I would have thought the Kings would be the favorites and the Warriors to be a "fashionable" underdog pick. I fully expected the Kings to win these first two games. The next game determines if the Warriors will make it a series or lose in 4/5. I don't bet, but coming from a Warriors fan, I would have put money on the Kings especially if they were getting better odds also.

Draymond's (I both love him and hate him, lol) little tirade is an indication that the team doesn't feel like it can beat the Kings. He does these things calculated most of the time. That stomp is the official end of the Warriors dynasty. I think this teams makes some big moves in the off season.

Still a safe bet, Warriors are living off nostalgia right now. They have showed nothing the entire season that they can win on the road or sustain winning streaks. Kings are a younger, more athletic, and hungrier team.

The Kings were better by 4 games.

Curry missed 26 games this season
Wiggins missed 45 games this season
Thompson missed 13 games this season
They had Payton for a total of 7 games this season

"Showed nothing this season" They went 44-38 without their starting five playing together more than a handful of times. The regular season is not important to the Warriors with having a team full of 30 year olds. This group just has to make sure they make the playoffs

Sure it doesn't look good for Warriors fans down 0-2. However, I would 100% not count out the Warriors to win this series.

The warriors played great in game 1 and lost, played poorly in game 2 and got crushed. They can’t stop the Kings offense.

It’s going to take a scoring explosion from someone not named Steph Curry and you just can’t count on that for 4 games at this point. Poole sucks, warriors have no depth… it’s not looking great.

I was in the “they’re contenders until they prove otherwise” camp from pedigree alone but it’s abundantly clear they’re not the title warriors anymore

Dubs didn’t play great in G1 (not saying they played horrible either, certainly played better in G1 than G2). They lost because Wiggins couldn’t hit open 3s and Fox/Monk/Lyles couldn’t miss them. Getting to the line less didn’t help either. They only lost by 3 though.

They were horrible in G2. Lots of careless turnovers (as usual). Officials did seem to keep sending Kings players to the line for small stuff (that they weren’t consistently calling on the other end) but it is what it is. Dubs showed more success when getting the easy 2 (in the paint) versus shooting tough 3s. I do find it interesting that you say they got crushed though, it makes me think you didn’t even watch the game. It was mostly close throughout, pre-Green ejection, it was a 4-point game with a couple minutes and Warriors ball.

Dubs had a great chance to win one (even both) games but couldn’t execute. It’s still far from over but they can’t let such opportunities slip if they want to win the series.

Kings showed they were a terrific team most/all of the season. Question coming into the playoffs was whether or not their lack of experience would hurt them. It hasn't so far.

The Warriors showed they were a horrific road team most/all of the season. Question coming into the playoffs was whether their championship experience would overcome their lackluster regular season. It hasn't so far.

Role players typically play worse on the road. So guys like Monk, Lyles, and Mitchell may not play as well. Whereas guys like Wiggins, Donte, Payton should thrive back in SF.

Warriors are in a hole, but I wouldn't count them out yet. Now if Draymond gets suspended...

It wasn’t close throughout lol besides the 1st Q. I watched halfway through the 3rd and went to bed. Pretty sure it was double digits when I went to bed.

I watched the play by play replay of the 4th and they tied the game after Draymond went out but just ran out of gas.

Their offense was bad all game (102 offensive rating) they turned the ball over a ton (22% of their possessions) very sloppy all game and probably should have lost by more than 8. I’d call that getting crushed.

With or without Draymond they haven’t been able to stop the Kings, to be fair nobody has. All the kings need to do is win 1 of 3 games in GS and it’s over.

I expect them to come out and win game 3 and we’ll see about game 4. Gonna need a 40 piece from Steph and Klay to keep pace

Nobody has given the kings credit all year and even now people still aren’t, despite them being awesome. I even said I would take the Warriors on pedigree alone but the Kings just look better

hottoys2012
04-18-2023, 11:45 AM
Something I’ve noticed about warriors as well is they used to try to score in the paint at least a decent amount, in these play off games especially game 2 last night, it seems like all they can do is shoot 3s because of how well the kings played defense. And they just weren’t making that many of them. Warriors winning or losing this series all depends on if their 3s drop or not, they aren’t scoring that much in paint.

I really think people are overthinking this. The Warriors were one of the worst road teams in the league this year but still absolutely dominant at home. In game 1 they were a wide open wiggins corner 3 away from winning, and in game 2 it was 101-102 with 3 minutes remaining (without draymond). In a world where draymond isn't suspended, the warriors most likely comfortably win games 3 and 4, and then it's back to anyone's series. Unfortunately draymond is a moron so if they lose tonight we'll never know what would've happened if he actually played.

Made the same bet seemed insane line. Kings are better, faster, more athletic, deeper and GSW literally can't win a game on the road.

First time GS core been down 2-0. Eeeeep.

Kings up 2-1 and Fanduel still has GSW a slight favorite, even being 11-30 on the road and Kings having best road record in West. Vegas must be confident in the refs helping them out in either game 5 or 7. Definitely will be watching the officiating closely in Sactown.

Kings having best road record in West.

Countered by GS being the best home team in the west by a large margin (33-8). They're virtually unbeatable.

In contrast, Kings are 23-18 at home, so far from indestructible.

This is going back to Sac tied, so we'll see who breaks the chain. Vegas certainly seems to be siding with experience.



Prayers up on both sides.

This is true. Idk man. Kings had A TON of open looks they just plainly missed last night, makes me feel like the a warriors Margin for error is way less.

You’re probably right though, unless Kev or Keegan (moment looks too big for him) catch fire Sunday it’ll be tied.

Then maybe you should watch the sequence on the internet before posting.

The play was designed for Fox to iso, but Curry/Dray double-teamed him and forced him to give it up.

They should’ve had huerter out there as well as a decoy, would’ve taken the ability to double away.

They’ve been way too comfortable just letting Fox do his own thing. Got a mix in a few different looks at it Golden State obviously read it like a book

Been the best guy in the 4th quarter all year, and sealed the dub for them the first two games.

Warriors just had a brilliant scheme to trap him on the elbow for his typical pivot fadeaway.

Honestly they should feel pretty good about the way they played today. Had the Warriors on their heels on game and almost pulled off the improbable at the end. Dubs are basically unbeatable at home and they almost stole one.

Not sure it's that bad.....keep in mind that in the 70's/80's/90's players were more likely to hide injuries and play hurt.

These days, teams have so much invested in players that they have become much more-risk averse. And the players go along with it because they get paid either way.

I've watched at least every 4th quarter in this series. Game 6 was the first one that was pretty uninteresting or uneventful. It can't be a good sign for the Warriors that the Kings beat the Warriors in convincing fashion at Chase Center. The Warriors have lost at home only 9 times this season. They've been terrible on the road and now have to win a game 7 at Golden 1 Center.

As a norcal guy and Warriors fan, I've got to give props to the Kings for having such a great season so far. You can tell their fans are super hungry -- they've waited a long time for this.

The Kings have some Warrior ties with Harrison Barnes and Mike Brown. I know Barnes has been known to choke in the playoffs, but I'm sure Warrior fans appreciate his positive contributions to their first title. He and Brown also seem like class acts and good role models.

Let the best team win -- I'm praying for both teams.

If you understand gambling at all? Even a little? You are cleaning up on the Kings




yup people sure were cleaning up on the Kings. Cleaning their jerseys to put back in the closet, cleaning their banners, throw blankets etc out of the living room....

The thread title and the post (In Kings name, amen !) could still hold true if the Lakers/LeKang win the series, correct? :p

Nah, anything after making the playoffs was all gravy for that fanbase. It was already a successful season for them the second they made the postseason. Nobody in Sacramento is packing their gear away in shame.

Agreed. For the first time in a long time, Sacramento looks to have a bright future.

Making the playoffs and blowing a 2-0 lead and losing in the 1st round has gotta be a bottomless feeling though right? In the 2000s the Lakers were stacked when Sac lost. Golden State .... only had to stop Steph and they couldn't even do that. :cry:

Yes and no.

Because people need to remember that this season they were blessed with perfect health....the Kings had the fewest games missed by any team in the league, and virtually all of their competitors had key players miss substantial chunks of time. And that probably won't happen again next season.

And even then they only finished six games above the play-in line.

Next year, I'd expect Denver, Phoenix, Golden State, Memphis, and the Clippers to almost certainly finish ahead of them, with the Kings in a fight with the Lakers, OKC, and the Pels for the #6 seed.

Yeah the Kings were healthy this year. But chances are CP3, Durant, Curry, Draymond, Ja, PG13, Kawhi, Zion, Bron, and AD won't play anywhere near the full 82 (even if they're healthy).

Kings surprised a lot of ppl this year but Fox could still improve and Murray seems to be another good young player. West has a lot of parity so I think the Kings could finish 2-8 and I wouldn't really be surprised.

Khangs were a feel good story.


But as the old adage does, defense wins championships. Their brand of current basketball does not bode well for any future playoff success. They desperately need to add some type of enforcer to anchor their roster.

AD's consistent lack of consistency - even when healthy - makes his availability less of a substantiative factor in their championship pursuit.
