I’m sensing a level of false bravado in all of these Warriors press conferences. I’m not looking for the white flag here and I’m sure they’ll be better at home and I’m not calling the series by a long shot…but they aren’t “feeling us out”.
Warriors have worked extremely hard these first two games and got nothing. They have shot better than the Kings these first two games. They have executed their game plan as they said they wanted. Look at how the Kings shot from three tonight. Kings matched them for turnovers. Kings actually ended up losing the board tonight.
It’s really not a matter of a ball bouncing one way or the other. Kings look like they are a flat out tough matchup for them.
I also sense the Warriors are having a hard time keeping up physically. Kings are too fast for them but also matching or exceeding them with physical play. I don’t think they expected that. You see them out there huffing and puffing. They are looking like an old team. They only go on big runs when the Kings quick shoot and bail them out. Kings are wearing them out on both ends otherwise..and the Warriors dearth of solid reserves will only put more heat on Steph who the Kings have game planned well against.
Let’s just hope Domas wasn’t seriously injured,
