Just got to take care of home court. Kings can beat these guys…or they can lose.
Kings once again didn’t win the board and didn’t force enough turnovers. They need to against these guys otherwise it difficult. Warriors getting to the line more is also major. I know Domas isn’t playing well, but it’s pitiful that he couldn’t get a single whistle tonight. I don’t think he got one. Barnes and Monk also couldn’t get a call.
Fox, Keegan, Davion were great.
Lyles and Len were solid.
Barnes rough shooting night overall. He took a bad shot but it didn’t end up hurting the Kings but I didn’t mind that last shot. One because he had to take it but two because it was a good shot.
Monk was great and terrible depending on the moment.
Huerter non existent.
Domas was bad. Stand by, I have a long winded Domas post coming.

Garbage take. Even for you.
If HB makes that three, which easily could have gone in, then what? Suddenly they’re not too good or too experienced and we are there?
I mean, that’s a very razor thin margin of error. All their skill and experience boiling down to a shot they had no control over the outcome. Give me a break.
Fact is, sans game three, these teams have played pretty evenly. The series is tied 2-2.
If anything, the KINGS are the superior team and it’s the Warriors experience that is evening things out.
And here’s the end all, be all. The Warriors HAVE to win in SAC. If they don’t they don’t win this series. Despite being “too good, too experienced, and us not being there” — allegedly.
They may indeed be able to do it, but they haven’t yet.

Definitely bummed but that was high quality basketball. Proud especially how Keegan responded and Davion’s newfound confidence. Those were 2 of my biggest question marks before the series and they’ve both proven they’ll be major contributors in the years ahead. Sabonis and Huerter now need to quiet the critics (me included) and that starts in game 5
My thoughts exactly. I can take any negative takes up to a degree, you can call out players' weaknesses, how we got exploited... etc, but I certainly cannot tolerate any "give up" talks. Seeing our players pour their hearts out on the court, not giving up an inch even though they end up still falling, I cannot, in good conscience, feel like giving up.
You are not guaranteed a win if you believe, but you definitely will fail if you don't.

we are just going through the carousel of blame at this point.
if we lose this series it will be because of the best shooting tandem there will ever be, the best defender of our generation (even though I despise him now) and a wealth of experience in doing the little things to win. The Kings players believe they can win and even if we don’t, we have an incredible base to work with.
Kings fans, and I’m saying this for myself too, take a deep breath and enjoy this! We are watching awesome basketball and our team is a bright light for the league even if Doris and JJ don’t want to admit it

DeAaron Fox as clutch as he is...his mental lapse of going beneath the screen and allow Steph to make a crucial 3 is the difference in the game. I mean c'mon man. Of course, other factors such as Malik driving and attacking at the teeth of the defense in fastbreak is just dumb basketball. And last but not least, Sabonis not getting called being physical inside doesn't help...refs swalling whistle despite Sabonis falling every time.
Last attempt by Fox failed at the wrong time. I mean GS was in foul trouble...should have been looking to attack and draw foul...instead he fumbled the ball a bit and then pass to Barnes (who I don't trust at the 3 in this game)....while Monk was also open on his left...why not pass to Monk? I trust Monk shooting 3 than Barnes. This team could have won the game if they play a little smarter. The GS, they don't make stupid mistakes like that in crunch time.

As discussed before though, Domas' internal clock on shots goes to about 13. Tonights total? 13 haha. I'll fall out of my chair the night he says F it and puts up 20 in a playoff series. Yeah, Sabonis is skilled but Domas doesn't really have an array of moves in the post, he needs to start using that hook better. Too much brute ball from him in this series.
