I shouldn't but that opinion just rubs me the wrong way.

What changes do the Warriors make this offseason if they fall here in round 1?

I could see Green and Kerr leaving.

You said he had a hold of his ankle, and the kick "looked" excessive...

Only thing I commented on was the "looking excessive"...

If I thought Sabonis DIDNT start it..wouldn't i have said something about that as well?

But..ok buddy..I guess

It’s not a series until someone loses a home game. Kings have played as well as they could these games. And barely won (maybe twice). Little too early to think about off-season.

daeve · 04-17-2023, 11:42 PM

Barnes getting some revenge work here on his old team.

...and Mitchell just buried a huge shot

rhigh2390 · 04-17-2023, 11:44 PM

Light the Beam! Kings are fun to watch!

This isn't the same Warriors...

I wouldn’t call shooting 27% from three as well as Sacramento can play.

thesportslab · 04-17-2023, 11:48 PM

I don’t get Harrison Barnes’s energy. He chose to leave GSW to chase the money in Dallas. It’s not like the got the boot.

Or Sabonis having his worst shooting game of the season in game 1.

I thought something similar. GS developed him and he got paid because of GS. He also didn't really leave them a choice after costing them a chip. He owes quite a bit to GS and I don't think it was a bitter breakup.

draymond green Literally jumped off a dudes stomach, hate him so much. horrible player and person, horrible attitude, sore loser

mfw13 · 04-17-2023, 11:54 PM

The story of the game from the Warriors perspective is the fact that Poole and DDV were invisible....to the point that even with the Warriors behind down the stretch, Gary Payton got the playing time, not Poole. As was Kuminga.

The Warriors simply do not have enough scoring unless they are getting 20-30 points a game from Poole and DDV.

Tonight they got a combined 4 points from them in 29 minutes....

Family men lose their temper and commit violent crimes all the time. How many times do we have to see these two hot heads lose their cool? Again, A couple hundo mill should tame your attitude. Take that all away and see both of them experience real frustration attempting to live? High probability they lash out somehow.

Are we isolating game 1 from consideration? Monk dropping 30? Trey Lyles going 4/6 from 3 pt?

Game 2 had ups and downs. Kings shot 11 more FTs. GSW had a ton of turnovers. And Kings, while shooting 3pt 27% total, made very timely shots tonight.

Wiggins still getting back and GSW was in both games despite the above. I wouldn’t feel overly confident as a Kings fan.

Yet...Russ has never lashed off the court or gotten in trouble so obviously it's something he confines to the game...its basketball..its sports..its competitive..I just think its wrong and insulting to assume he'd be in jail based on on the court stuff when he has no kind of track record ever in his personal life

This is their first playoff series since 2006 and they are up 2-0 on the defending champs... I'm pretty sure their fans are sleeping pretty well tonight lol

draymond green is a piece of trash.

I'm in multiple text threads with diehard Kings fans... trust me, they ain't sleeping. Guys calling in sick / showing up late tomorrow is gonna be at least 60%

pingbling23 · 04-18-2023, 12:10 AM

Defending champs at full strength gonna get swept? No way.

Kaboom Daniel · 04-18-2023, 12:16 AM

Like in the Regular Season, the Kings are fun to watch. Love that series so far. The Warriors will not get swept, but a 1:4 would not surprise me at least.

The other part of the story is I'm starting to wonder if Curry has that tip top gear anymore.

9-27 from 3 from the first two games. Typical back breaking Curry shots just weren't falling in tonight. Same way the potential game tying shot rimmed out in Game 1 at the buzzer.

I won't count him out until he can't light it up at home, though.

majestik101 · 04-18-2023, 01:13 AM

Draymond is and always will be, a thug.

I am now rooting for the Dubs to get swept.

ninjabum87 · 04-18-2023, 01:35 AM

Hopefully he's suspended for a game or two. Dude holds your ankle so you Ndamukong Suh 230 pounds into his sternum? Foh with that.
