[Game] Golden State Warriors (6) @ Sacramento Kings (3) (WCDS Game 5, 2-2) 4/26/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern (TNT)

See, Brown immediately goes to one of his two players that can generate contact and it pays off. This is playoff ball, and yes, it's an arms race.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Heuerter is getting the looks he got in the rs. I cant understand why he is missing SO MUCH

He’s shot 30% for 3 his entire playoff career. It’s a trend. Similar to when he had those bad months this season

 

[SLAB]

Setting a screen for an open three when you only need two will forever live rent free in my head: Thanks, Harrison,

 

[The_Jamal]

If we lose this, we might as well just forfeit the next game....I know I won't be watching.

Good, cya

 

[kingdivac]

Same mistake over and over and over with sAbonis

 

[KF8]

i don't want to see sabonis run another fast break

 

[kingdivac]

SIT SABONIS

 

[est.1999]

Honestly F*** sabonis

 

[sauce-26]

Aggressive barnes is good. Leads to drawing fouls

 

[SacTownKid]

Harrison might not be the one you asked for, but he's about all the team has when it comes to the grind.

:::tips cap:::
I get it, this sucks. Why did it have to be the freakin’ Warriors? I’d be downright good losing to anyone else. Even LeBron.

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Good, cya

Sorry, but reality is reality. If the team doesn't show hard drive and a will to win effort, why should I waste time in watching that?

 

[forza kings]

Brown is not doing a good job in this series.

 

[The_Jamal]

What sucks is this isn't a talent gap. Not at all. We're not executing the things we can control; staying disciplined with turnovers, converting open 3's, scoring when we force turnovers. Kings have very much looked like the inexperienced playoff team the last 3 games.

 

[Ozymandias]

They simply have a better gameplan than us and we haven't been able to adjust to it..

Sabonis is consistently looking uncomfortable and its throwing our whole offense out of rhythm. Looney is playing mistake free and ultra efficient. We like the matchup with Davion on Steph but their matchup of Looney on Sabonis has been far more disruptive.

We're not able to get to the FT line enough so were basically doomed to a jumpshooting contest vs steph and klay.. IDK this just looks so clunky to me..

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

That’s where I’d like to see Len getting used. He’s got the size/strength to crash the boards and is good enough at the line to shoot when he draws fouls.

I wonder what the stats look like with Len in again in this game. They've been favorable in the other games

That's fine, enjoy your 3 hours on Friday. Cya

 

[Joshoua]

Lmao Stan giving barnes credit for not scoring but atleast trying to score

 

[Hillbilly]

i guess I am old. All the big men (7ft plus) centers I remember watching worked the defensive boards then cleared the ball out to others more skilled at the dribble...to move the ball more effectively and quickly into the front court.
Our big guy seems to love to dribble the ball into the front court.

 

[206Fan]

I'm sorry, but Sabonis is an All-Star and he's supposed to be All-NBA... where is that guy? Where has he been?

 

[Turgenev]

The team is tough, they'll keep fighting.

 

[SLAB]

I'm sorry, but Sabonis is an All-Star and he's supposed to be All-NBA... where is that guy? Where has he been?

His soul has been eaten by Kevon Looney and Steve Kerr’s gameplan.

 

[206Fan]

His soul has been eaten by Kevon Looney.

He's left at least 4pts in the fast break now due to his mistakes.. he's playing timid.

 

[Showtime]

Sabonis inherited Len's hands somehow.

 

[Livinthedream]

It's not a talent gap. Kings are trying to outscore them. What was working before was playing defense.

No clue why Edwards hasn't gotten any run.

 

[KF8]

baby steps.. can monk and barnes give us a minimum of 10 points each

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I was hoping we would have had more of a knicks type of performance.

Yeah, to me, if they didn't shoot well or at least average as a team, it was always going to be tough.....knowing that the Warriors would most likely shoot well

 

[MizzouKing]

Harrison is finally finding a way to be effective, driving the ball, drawing fouls, sinking free throws, and playing defense. That will work, HB!

For sure but a big difference is the Warriors have 4 legit scorers that can get them 20 a night and that's a huge difference come playoff time. Curry, Klay, Poole, and Wiggins is tough for a team so bad on defense to deal with if the offense isn't cooking for the Kings. The Warriors guards can create plays and they can repeatedly collapse the Kings defense.
