On a positive note, I want to give props to the KINGS getting Keegan Murray some good looks this time around and props to the Keegster for making them.
I’ve contended that Coach Brown and the KINGS hadn’t done enough to get him open looks and that I’d rather see #13 getting the same looks Kevin Huerter has been getting then see what happens.
Well, I don’t think any of us were disappointed with the result. Keegan showed out today. This stage is far from being too big for him. He just needs to opportunities. Standing him in the corner all game isn’t gonna get it done.
If the KINGS find themselves in the same last shot situation they were in today again, I hope they involve Keegan or Monk as the other option for De’Aaron.

maybe 12:30/3:30ET Sunday is a better rating slot than Sunday night?
Kings-Warriors have been by far the highest rated first round series in years for the NBA so it got a better(and the ABC) time slot for national.
Otherwise they would’ve had the Knicks/Cavs in that time slot I believe and Celtics/Hawks at 10 if Kings/Warriors was business as usual ratings wise. It isn’t.

Getting Keegan going and getting some confidence in him may just prove to be the thing that gets us over the hump if we do indeed win this series. It should also help Kevin and Domas, I noticed Domas despite not having a great game by his standards was getting closer to double digit assists today. I am not sure if the fact he didn't do so great in the rebound department may mean he is still feeling effects of the stomp. I do like that we come home on extended rest but the series goes one night off for games 6 and 7. I do think that plays to our favor.
Sabonis defense is liability sometimes and overhelp sometimes. Remember that one play where Poole received the ball from one end of the court and drove right pass Sabonis for a layup...that's inexcusable...Poole should have no chance of making that layup....while 3 Kings and not a Warriors near the basket. Mike Brown had to call a time out.
Feels like this debate is extreme arm chair quarterbacking. Barnes got a great look. He hasn’t been on this series but he’s percentage wise over the course of the year a better three point shooter than monk. Fox had to make a split second decision. If anything I guess I would have preferred fox just attack the middle straight away without taking any clock on the possession.
If Kings went on and lose the series, they should upgrade Barnes and Huerter. That's the ONLY positions that they can upgrade to take them to another level. There is a ceiling in Barnes game and he had maxed out imo. His individual defense is not overwhelming anybody and at time suspicious because he can be soft at imposing his will. He isn't tall enough to tower and intimidate anybody. Huerter is a liability on defense cause he isn't strong enough and also slow at defensive reaction. That's why Mike Brown can't afford to have him on the court in crunch time despite needing him to score.
So I met a Dubs friend at a bar near where kiddo's flag football game was played today and watched the game off social media and without any volume, and also half watched the Bruins game on the tv next to the one showing the game. Consequently I had my own take that there were a few plays near the basket that should have drawn fouls, but no evidence to feel salty about officiating until I get online after the game and twitter says refs jobbed us.
If that's true, I really do think we go back to getting more calls in Sac. Fox may have just proved himself to be the next superstar if the league allows it. I don't know why the league wouldn't want to go all in on a kid that plays like Fox does but also seems humble and unlikely to embarrass the league or its sponsors the way Ja did.
