Even more impressive is how damn good the offense looked with Holiday/Lamb combining for 2-10 from 3. Kings absolutely looked like they were channeling the golden era with all the beautiful back-cuts and ball movement to find great shots and they've had 0 practice time together.
Game recognize game. Smart of Monte to decide to hold onto Barnes. Kings kept getting coaches who run the Warriors system, but not enough of the players. Barnes, Holiday, Jones are vets of the system. Sabonis fits right in.
Sheeee-it - not *so* quiet. I'm pretty sure every damn one of us was tracking what he was putting out. Talk about a guy who elevates everyone around him. Not just him either. COMPLETELY different energy and movement out there tonight.
What a crapty trade to actually get a real all star! Why get a player who makes everyone else better and can actually rebound and bail you out on questionable plays. Why pair such a talent with someone who no one in the league can stay in front of and pulls bigs away from your other players?

That's the thing about Barnes, they want to run high post, well, he's the guy that already knows it inside and out from his time with the Dubs. Watch his cuts and it's like an old glove.

Yep. There were rumors the Warriors were making a play for Sabonis and you can see why. He and Draymond at the horns with Curry and Thompson playing off them would be unstoppable.

Not to be a total wise ass and I am still warming up to this new team but this is the difference between someone who will be really good and someone who already is.
Him playing two years in the Spurs system really helping him here. That entire system is entirely predicate on dudes running around like their heads are on fire.
