[Bosnian Diehard]

Fox…..

 

[Kingz19]

Kings need to get out of this quarter

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I feel like when the tv announcers feel compelled to point out a no-call it's a should-have-been-a-call.

 

[kingdivac]

LAZY

 

[HndsmCelt]

Domas might foul out half their team by the end of the night.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Play to end the third quarter has been as awful as it was awesome in the second.

 

[SLAB]

Leave the sloppy play in the third, boys.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Whine about the end of the quarter all you want kings of hell the Warriors to 75 points and three quarters and hold the lead... I'll take it!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Figured Green and Monk would get into it, sooner or later

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Just gotta keep the ball moving and get some more off ball movement.

 

[Tetsujin]

Malik loses the ball, gives the Warriors the chance to cut the lead to six, they smoke the layup instead (great effort by Huerter to get back into the play)

 

[SacTownKid]

That zone hurt a bit but you know it hurt Kerrs soul having to go to it more.

 

[kingdivac]

Green is such a loser

 

[Kingster]

Green up to his usually trash

 

[HndsmCelt]

Figured Green and Monk would get into it, sooner or later

Yeah that sort of felt inevitable didn't it

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Leave the sloppy play in the third, boys.

Feels like we withstood their big run. Let's just focus on executing in the fourth and we can win this.

Would have been nice to keep it at 12-13 but ultimately it’s going to come down to how we play this quarter. Shot selection sucked at the end there let’s do better

 

[Kingz19]

Well, a lot of good work for only a +2

Kings sort of showed their inexperience by trying to ice this game with threes. Kings are winning with body shots. You saw the Warriors are wearing down. Kings bail them out with quick shot threes

 

[Sac.Kings]

We should be up more than this. 8 point deficit for Warriors is easy to overcome. Fox, it’s your time now.

 

[KF8]

can the kings actually win this shooting 20% from 3. If so it would be on the defensive end.

 

[gunks]

Fox, please go nuclear.... thnx

 

[MizzouKing]

Gotta hold it together for one more quarter… glad it’s the quarter we’re best at.

 

[Fear the Putin]

Figured Green and Monk would get into it, sooner or later

Love how Monk was talking smack and not even acknowledging donkey

 

[Kingster]

can the kings actually win this shooting 20% from 3. If so it would be on the defensive end.

9x out of 10 I'd say no

 

[HndsmCelt]

Been winning this game on the defensive end all night

Kings looked tired at the end - Brown not trusting Len.....

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Very apprehensive about seeing the Warriors getting into early foul trouble in the third, because you know that the refs are going "balance things out," when the game is on the line.

The way the Kings played the last five minutes of the third is exactly why I was apprehensive: Kings had Golden State in the penalty for ten minutes, and barely took advantage of it. I fully expect the refs to, as I anticipated, "balance things out," and I guarantee that the Warriors won't make the same mistake.

 

[MizzouKing]

Love Coach’s poise!

We need to let the game dictate how we play - in this case we need to keep attacking the basket and get some of their guys their fifth fouls. Be nice to get them in the penalty early. They seemed to have thought they'd get better treatment from the refs. Maybe the tide is finally turning (TV viewership last game a factor?)

 

[Ozymandias]

hope we can get a foul or 2 on draymond (and ofc one on looney) quickly
