[Game] Sacramento Kings (3) @ Golden State Warriors (6) (WCDS Game 4, 2-1) 4/23/2023 12:30pm Pacific 3:30pm Eastern (ABC)

[SacTownKid]

at least we fell swinging... In last 5 mins we were too afraid to enter the lane

see ya at the golden 1 you arrogant pricks

Yeah, that was huge. Two blowouts and the series turns and likely doesn't come back. Protect home court and the series is yours. All the momentum was right there for Golden State and now they have to have some doubts going into game 3.

 

[RoyalDiva]

I had to watch the last few minutes with the TV muted. Couldn't take it anymore lol.

 

[NewArena]

Yah I think the Warriors knew it was Fox iso. Wish we got a better look but kudos to the Warriors D on that

But this is also why Brown didn’t need to call a damn timeout there. Let us RUN and get something Wtf smh

 

[1234kings]

Horrible game shots in the final few minutes. Like Barnes throwing up the 3 earlier when we had 18 seconds left on the clock! Ugh

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah, I just don't understand wasting 3-4 seconds when you only have 10 to work with

Thing to keep in mind is that they also didn't want to give the Warriors enough time after a potential make to have a shot at a buzzer beater. Warriors didn't have a timeout left but that probably would've worked in their favor since Steph going down hill from half court is a 75% guaranteed make.

 

[NewArena]

So now we have to sit through a few more days of everyone slobbering over the Warriors. Someone shoot me

 

[206Fan]

I’m sorry how can you be mad about the ending. He missed a good look. It happens, that’s basketball. Sure my heart is in my stomach right now but I’m not mad

This is how I’m feeling as well. We also got extremely lucky that Curry called the boneheaded timeout. The fact that we had a chance to win it at the end is a good sign

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

And I don’t think the Kings can protect their court four games in a row.

Man, the rest of us knew you thought that four games ago. Like I said, you're the Rob Schneider character from Major League. I'm just saying that you are not, in fact, saying what "everyone" is thinking.

EDIT - Randy Quaid, my bad.

 

[forza kings]

I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking. They’re too good. Too experienced. We’re not there.

The Warriors and the Suns are the two teams we were going to lose to 100%

GSW are too good, too experienced blah blah blah and why aren’t they up 3-1 or 4-0 then? We are watching a series of equal powers. Let’s not make the ‘23 Warriors something they are not anymore.

 

[captain bill]

Keegan w 23&7 on 5-7 from 3. Just need Huerter to get it going and our offense will be unstoppable

Almost stole one from the champs at home. Huge rebound from Thursday night to erase all the doubt from that game. Warriors brought their full home court magic and we still almost stole it, now back home to try to get win #3. No one said it'd be easy.

 

[NewArena]

Horrible game shots in the final few minutes. Like Barnes throwing up the 3 earlier when we had 18 seconds left on the clock! Ugh

He really ***** me off today. Just idiotic shot attempts

 

[KainLear]

Besides other playoffs games, I largely stayed out of any basketball media. I suggest you do the same... haha

 

[SacTownKid]

One thing I know for sure: Kings will get better from this - and that will happen immediately.

This is a coaching battle above all right now and Kerr has made some changes for sure. He's going to stick with the junk ball and Brown can't let the eventually run on mismatches happen again. Balls in Browns court now. Matchup with it or take advantage even if it means finding post options other than Sabonis?

 

[LoungeLizard]

I’m in no way saying we lost because of the refs but Domas having 0 FT attempts is a travesty

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Thing to keep in mind is that they also didn't want to give the Warriors enough time after a potential make to have a shot at a buzzer beater. Warriors didn't have a timeout left but that probably would've worked in their favor since Steph going down hill fro half court is a 75% guaranteed make.

Yeah, I'm not saying take a shot that leaves them time. I'm saying take advantage of all 10 seconds, if your initial look is not there or disrupted

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah, that was huge. Two blowouts and the series turns and likely doesn't come back. Protect home court and the series is yours. All the momentum was right there for Golden State and now they have to have some doubts going into game 3.

Steph, Klay, and Poole all pretty much had A+ games and this game pretty much came down to the final shot anyways. They also have to figure out how to deal with the fact that their offense runs better with Draymond off the floor at this point too.

 

[206Fan]

I’m in no way saying we lost because of the refs but Domas having 0 FT attempts is a travesty

Sabonis is flopping a lot. He just needs to learn to take the physicality

 

[NewArena]

I just do not understand why Mike Brown called a timeout only to run an iso. We couldn’t do that without the timeout???

 

[miltonap]

I’m in no way saying we lost because of the refs but Domas having 0 FT attempts is a travesty

That's probably a good thing, I'm not confident at all in his ft shooting

 

[fansinceday1]

Tough game guys. But I can't complain. Like I said during that Clippers game, win or lose, I'm proud of this team.

Game 3 was unacceptable. This, how can you really complain?

GS is extremely hard to guard and we almost got that one.

Need the next game though for sure, absolutely need that one

I have to admit, I’m feeling greedy because of what Jalen rose just said. The kings failed to take a game that was right in front of them. This was the kings game. They go up 3-1 it’s OVER. That’s a tough TOUGH pill to swallow.

 

[TaxMan]

Sports….that HB shot was on line. It goes in and I’m living good for the next few days.

 

[Sluggah]

At the end of the day, we came closer to stealing one on their court than they have on ours.

 

[miltonap]

Sabonis is flopping a lot. He just needs to learn to take the physicality

I agree. I think he's used to regular season whistles, and he ends up trying to get the call and leaves the ball short.

He needs to forget about the whistles and just focus on getting the ball in the hoop

 

[NewArena]

That's probably a good thing, I'm not confident at all in his ft shooting

BS. He’s not gonna miss every single freethrow. He got hacked so much in the final quarter

 

[Albatros]

So now we have to sit through a few more days of everyone slobbering over the Warriors. Someone shoot me

I don't know how you watch that game and don't think this series is a toss up.

The next game is probably gonna decide it. At the start of the series if you said game 7 home floor. You take it.

We go down 2-3. It's over I'm afraid. The team either grow or shrink. That's the shakes. I'm proud of them whatever happens from here.

100% need the next one

He really didn’t need to be in at all. I trust Davion more at this point. He, Keegan or Monk if it isn’t gonna be Fox. I can’t believe we have to wait until Wednesday to play again. This schedule is so damn idiotic

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

You nailed it! Slab acts like the Warriors are up 3-1 or something. If that last shot would have went in, we would be sitting at 3-1 right now......

 

[dude12]

Had a clean look at the end by HB. If that goes, the next 10 pages on this thread would be completely different.

Also, had to put on ignore multiple posters. I’m not having it on my timeline right now.

I’m looking forward to the refs giving us home court advantage foul calls again at home. That’s the way it’s supposed to work, right?

 

[NewArena]

Just ONE deserved foul call and who knows what happens for us. Must be nice to be the golden children of the NBA
