[Game] Kings v. Warriors - 1//9/16 - 7 PT, 10 ET

[Capt. Factorial]

Flagrant!!!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

"After official review, the ruling on the court stands, common foul."

 

[Glenn]

Flagrant!!!

He hit him with an axe chop and also hit him with his body which really could have shot Willie in the stands.

 

[Kingsgurl]

Should be a clear path, he was ahead of everyone too

"After official review, the ruling on the court has been overturned, offensive foul on Willie Cauley-Stein."

Karl's defensive strategy of wide-open three's has no place in today's NBA. The Warriors do a lovely job of highlighting it.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Does that not count as a tech on Green?

 

[Glenn]

Damn, I like Willie.

 

[Sluggah]

le sigh.

Great teams like the Spurs do not try to run with the Warriors. They grind the game down to a crawl which drives the Warriors crazy.

They definitely do not leave them open for their favorite shot.

 

[Im Still Ballin]

That was a dangerous foul

 

[Showtime]

This is the worst defense I've seen in the NBA.

 

[upinsmoke]

Why didn't baby curry instantly attempt a shot?

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Man the Bengals choked that game away.

I've said this from day 1. They can't shoot or defend, so more possessions = bigger potential deficit.

 

[fansinceday1]

Surprise surprise.

Same old bungles.

 

[twslam07]

I'm tired of seeing us trying to 'outscore' the Warriors. Commitment to defense, slowing the pace, and ball movement is your only chance.

 

[enigma99a]

Warriors are good enough as they are, but with help of the refs its almost impossible. No wonder only two teams have beat them

 

[lawlman91]

All the good things that would happen if we win this and then post-game Cousins says, "NorCal belongs to the Kings."

 

[twslam07]

Sticking with that 4 guard lineup. Rebounding should be fun especially since they have a center and three 6'7" players on the floor.

 

[hrdboild]

In time? He's 25. How much more time are we talking about?

Look they have similar athleticism & energy, but the comparison really stops there.

Look at physical tools. They have almost identical height, weight, and wingspan. Acy is a little bit of a better jumper but it's close. The main difference if you compare their per36 numbers is in 3pt shooting and assists. Right now Acy is a 32% career three point shooter, Draymond's career average is 34%. If he keeps working on his jumper and ball handling skills, he'd be able to do everything Draymond Green can do. Like Green, his strength and athleticism allows him to play bigger than 6-7. Court vision is not really a learnable skill, but Draymond has no doubt benefitted from being on a team with Curry and Thompson.

No one is saying Quincy Acy is going to be an All-Star or lead the league in triple doubles at any point in his career. But improving the jumper is within his control and if he does that he should be able to carve out a similar niche as a hustle points and rebounds energy guy who can defend and knock down shots.

 

[Larry89]

can we not play 4 guards

 

[hrdboild]

I can't stand these 4th quarter lineups. George Karl is just throwing the game away when he puts 4 guards out there at the same time.

 

[enigma99a]

can we not play 4 guards

Just don't stop running.

 

[SacKings384]

Once again NONE of our players on the floor currently creative an offensive mismatch, and all of them are mismatched defensively. Put WCS and Boog out there along with Gay. Rondo at the 1 and Collison (sigh) at the 2.

You're a better coach than Karl

 

[SacTownKid]

I can't stand these 4th quarter lineups. George Karl is just throwing the game away when he puts 4 guards out there at the same time.

Even his two PG lineups have gotten abused. This hole was created by the Kings doubling when Collison or Rondo were caught on a bigger player. It's very frustrating to see a HOF coach seemingly getting out coached game after game.

 

[lawlman91]

moar moar fouls

 

[gunks]

We need stops.
