[Game] Kings @ Warriors - 2/15/17 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

[VF21]

I know this is the Warriors game thread, but anytime we beat the Lakers it's worth repeating.

Until recently, I could hardly watch close games. I just knew the Kings were going to find a way to lose. Lately, though, I haven't had that feeling. I've regained faith.

These are our Kings. Warts, wrinkles, stupid turnovers...none of that matters. They've got heart, hustle, energy and effort...and they've got a coach that is instilling in them the will to win. They're a TEAM, and I am proud to be one of their fans.

Going into Oracle to play the Warriors is not gonna be easy. But I have faith. The Warriors CAN be beat. They've underestimated us before. Their egos are their worst enemies.

The one thing I wish we could do is invade Oracle the way their fans have invaded our turf. I just hope the Kings fans who are there are LOUD.

It's a good night to be a Kings fan.

Will Thompson will be out this game?

 

[c-webb1s#1]

Warriors have been a little out of sync lately, we could beat them again.

Or KD and Curry might go off for 40 a piece and we lose....but still! The Kings have been playing better and ya never know

 

[Tetsujin]

Pound them inside and then when that's over pound them inside again. Get McGee and Looney in foul trouble and force them to match up with smaller players. Don't get discouraged if Steph or KD get hot and weather the storm. Also wear a cup so as to prevent any damage from errant Draymond kicks.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Will Thompson will be out this game?

I think Sho'Nuff missed their last game, too. If they're both out again tomorrow night, or if Golden State says, "**** it," we might have the opportunity to do a little somethin' somethin'.

 

[kingsboi]

correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the last time the Kings won in Oracle, they had Salmons on the team

 

[Tetsujin]

correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the last time the Kings won in Oracle, they had Salmons on the team

Isn't that the game where Salmons hit a shot to send the game into overtime and then hit another one to win it?

ahhh so you remember that one too! I believe the Warriors had Monta Ellis on that team still, no?

My apologies for any footage of Mikki Moore also included in the picture.

EDIT: And here's the BOX SCORE

 

[swisshh]

The Warriors are going to be pissed coming into this game.

 

[VF21]

The Warriors are going to be pissed coming into this game.

Good. If history is any indication, they don't do well when they're angry. Just ask the Cavaliers.

 

[Sac.1989]

The easiest of our next 3.

Scheduled win.

Its a process but, Warrior nation and the hype show will slowly realise their mortality and this game will drive it home.

Take a 2-1 series lead and the high ground on route to our playoff win.

Then we'll see how much those 'believe' warrior playoff tees, when they beat the Mavs, retail for in Sac. Collectable my ass

 

[Larry89]

I hope Lawson can go for this game

 

[Bricklayer]

I hope Lawson can go for this game

I mean...I would really doubt it. Hammies are tricky and lingering, and you can give him a full extra week off of it just by not playing him vs. Golden State. And yeah, I mean we are likely just going to get slapped out of there, but we go into the break, maybe come out of it with some of our guys back, and go to work on an easy patch in the schedule. Win the war, not the battle.

P.S. And if Golden State wants to come into this one hanging their head, looking forward to the break, or in any other way not ready to compete, hell, I think we might get after them and make them regret it.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Is it ok to be greedy?

 

[jcwkings]

We're gonna be hungry and forget our manners.

 

[KingsCitizen]

My guess is that after this game Warriors fans will be rooting for San Antonio to take the top seed in the West and take on the Kings in the playoffs.

 

[dude12]

Did the Warriors blow a 3-1 lead in the championship? Why yes, yes they did.

Not relevant to this coming game but it doesn't get old saying it.

 

[Ron]

It's the ultimate scheduled L...
But we are the #Kangz!

A fan has got to do...

[whozit]

I don't know about using this one ........................ didn't turn out too good. Got killed! (at least implied)

 

[Kingsfan23]

I'm enjoying the streak. On a back to back in Oakland it will suffice for me for it to go until the mid 4th. I'm tempted to drive to this one

 

[Peter_Gibbons]

The Warriors are going to be pissed coming into this game.

We're not afraid of cupcakes!

 

[Ron]

We're not afraid of cupcakes!

Well, frankly... I've always felt a little intimidated by them...

I'm not generally pastry-phobic, but some of them look quite menacing...

 

[swisshh]

Kings have been one of the better fourth quarter teams this year, but that has been helped by the way the bench unit starts the fourth. That oomph is lacking a bit without Lawson leading it. Lawson's absence is also meaning more minutes for Darren, which will tire him out at the end of games. (He's been handling this well so far, but this is a B2B.)

 

[Larry89]

I totally forgot this was on the tail end of a B2B and @ Oracle, Yikes

 

[Bricklayer]

Yeah, was damn clever and defiant...and also may have helped waken the sleeping beast.

I know everyone is excited about our little run here, but this is still a team that if pissed off can scorch us by 30. So let sleeping dogs lie. Sneak on in with your head down and eyes cast to the ground...then wait for them to fall asleep and suddenly jump up and rip their throat out.

Tell us how you really feel about the Warriors

 

[Spike]

I'm aware of the reference, but if Steph Curry drops 60 because he saw my post, well, mea culpa.

Or, maybe it's time someone stepped up to the "big bad bully." Maybe we get smashed, but I'd rather let them know that we're gunning for them and aren't afraid.
