Gawd unreal.....they look High Schoolers

 

[HndsmCelt]

At this point I'm hoping the Kings just get all of their crappy shots out of their system tonight

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Sabonis has to figure out a way to do more on the offensive end.

 

[TaxMan]

Can we call this one?

 

[Sluggah]

Have we even taken a three that was defended?

 

[The_Jamal]

Yup. “Like you said.” Why you flooding the zone with the same take over and over? You’ve made your damn point.

Because Slab is the ultimate prisoner of the moment fan. Can't ever view things in a macro perspective.

Same guy who said we were gonna get run over before the series. Is what it is.

Warriors were never just going to roll over and die. They hit us in the mouth tonight, on us to go respond. We're still in the driver seat of this series. On us to to take advantage of that while it's still the case

Sabonis has to figure out a way to do more on the offensive end.

He's been rushing his shots

I don't think there's anything the Warriors have done to take us out of our game. It's just fresh blood mistakes against the dynasty at home. Every easy thing we're blowing and I hope we have the coaching and leadership to fix that

 

[206Fan]

Agreed with Jones, at some point things need to start clicking with Murray. He's going through his usual awful shooting slump. He's been complete non-factor and we really needed his shooting tonight. Any excuses of him being just a rookie are lame. He needs to show up for the next game

 

[Showtime]

This team is toast if they cannot find a way to hit the 3. Len needs to play more because if Domas isn't contributing offensively the post defense he gives up just kills the team. Warriors are not settling and attacking the Kings exposing their weakness inside. Len needs more burn.

 

[Sluggah]

Keegan. Worth it.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

How are we in big trouble? If we win the next game, then all the sudden we are up 3-1. How can that mean we are in big trouble?

Exaggerated, but It's probably in reference to the feel of momentum. We won 2 close games,....this is a blow out with them getting a starter back for next game

 

[notoriousBEN3]

As much as I obviously wanted a win tonight, part of me is fine with a loss. That way when we win the series, there can absolutely be no whines or complaints about how we only won b/c Draymond was suspended. Now we get to win the series without any asterisks. Take the L, game plan around it, and move onto the next game.

 

[sauce-26]

Finally

 

[captain bill]

KEEGAN HIT A THREE

 

[est.1999]

And we're officially to that time of night lol

I’m not a delusional homer

 

[SacTownKid]

It's a tough game to swallow but yeah, this team rarely puts up two stinkers in a row. The frustrating things is yes, the Warriors have just tilted the series in a way because you never want to be the first team to catch the blowout game after two tough, hard fought games. Now they just need to let that embarrassment soak in a little. They just got punked by big bro, now bide your time and return the favor.

 

[206Fan]

Sabonis has been awful. he might as well have sat out the game.. wouldn't be able to tell the difference

 

[jiimbob]

Why is Keegan even playing. He's obviously not ready for the big stage.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This game had all the makings of a trap game. The only thing I care about is that the team is able to learn from this. But unless you predicted the Kings would win in a sweep you can't be too surprised at a loss they were bound to happen and no way the warriors were going to get backed into a 0-3 situation unless we dominated them into it.

The posts in this thread have been emblematic of one of the things I find the most annoying about team-first fans, and the way that most of them consume sports-as-entertainment: fluid expectations. It took no time at all for people to become defeatists, because they let what happened in the first two games dictate what they expected to happen in this one.

 

[DynaPamm]

Well what can I say, because all of us are thinking it….. so I’ll just say it’s ok it’s not over , let’s go onto game 4 for the win and then bring it home to G1C For game 5 and get the win…. Damn I was really hoping for game 5 refund but guess I’ll just wear my Beam Team jersey after all….

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Sabonis has to figure out a way to do more on the offensive end.

Unfortunately for us, Warriors have planned well against him. Give him space, don’t let him go downhill, don’t overplay his passing lanes and force him to create shots in the post. The Celtics, Twolves, Jazz all showed the recipe on how to play Sabonis.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Let Keegan take every single remaining shot.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Why is Keegan even playing. He's obviously not ready for the big stage.

To get the experience so next time he is ready.

 

[The_Jamal]

I’m not a delusional homer

Nah you're just a sourpuss that only posts when the Kings play bad.

At least kb02 was fun to interact with.

 

[chief bromden]

At least our crowd is still better!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Why is Keegan even playing. He's obviously not ready for the big stage.

If they only thing that happens in the final three minutes is Murray breaking out of his slump, it's minutes well spent.

 

[The_Jamal]

I think this needs to be extended to HB and Huerter spacing as well. They've basically been erased all series and their shooting is a giant part of our offense. This level of shooting from the ancillary guys is unacceptable

 

[Showtime]

Exaggerated, but It's probably in reference to the feel of momentum. We won 2 close games,....this is a blow out with them getting a starter back for next game

And Klay not doing much either.

 

[kingdivac]

Very disppointing from Brown - as someone mentioned - not enough timeouts early ..... Kings did not match energy early, and Brown unable to impress that on his players.
