[Game] Sacramento Kings (3) @ Golden State Warriors (6) (WCDS Game 6, 2-3) 4/28/2023 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern (ESPN)

[TaxMan]

The offense is working better through Sabonis today

 

[captain bill]

Monk is the Warriors killer

 

[SLAB]

Stop with the ****ing little two foot pass attempts in the paint! It’s a GD turnover 100% of the time.

Too unselfish for his own good! Keep shooting everything from everywhere, Keegan.

 

[sauce-26]

REALLY GOOD HALF!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Dodged two Curry looks there

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Plenty good of a half. The 3rd quarter will be telling

 

[captain bill]

Is this our biggest halftime lead of the series?

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan played 22 minutes in the 1st half. Has 12 and 8 and has made some big defensive plays.

How's that for star potential?

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Say what you want about the refs, the turnovers, etc. That's a DARN good half of basketball by the Kings.

 

[Livinthedream]

I think it's in him.

 

[KainLear]

Is this our biggest halftime lead of the series?

Besides the first 2 games, I failed to remember we ever had a lead to end any quarters.

 

[TaxMan]

Well. That went surprising better than I could have imagined. Slab, you just might be on to something with your extreme low expectation bit.

 

[Kingster]

That's Kings' basketball. They played a great half. Now play another.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Fox' head is in the right place here. Doesn't care about himself now...."the team got off to a good start"

 

[Tetsujin]

Too unselfish for his own good! Keep shooting everything from everywhere, Keegan.

It really feels like part of the issue is that Keegan doesn't seem to realize how good he actually is and keeps trying to be a good role player guy.

 

[Krunker]

Curry 3 for 9, hopefully we can keep his shooting down

 

[Hillbilly]

I hope coach uses that small line up again, I think it works against these guys....

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Curry 3 for 9, hopefully we can keep his shooting down

Credit to TD and the Mike Brown rotations.

 

[notoriousBEN3]

Huerter is a great player and was integral in getting us here. But he’s been cold all series, and it’s not changing tonight.

Lyles is also outplaying Domas, and needs more time in the 2nd half.

The small ball lineup was working earlier. I’d say stick to it. Huerter and Domas are not coming alive tonight. It’s just not their series. Get a win, and let them rest up for the next game.

 

[KainLear]

What I like the most about this half is the fact that Steph falling all over the place and barely any shot he had attempted wasn't well contested.

 

[Krunker]

I hope coach uses that small line up again, I think it works against these guys....

It did seem like Kerr didn't really have a response to it

 

[captain bill]

Besides the first 2 games, I failed to remember we ever had a lead to end any quarters.

Led game 2 by 6 so yes at 7 it's our best start

 

[mbkings10]

Considering we're playing 5 against 8, that was a good 1st half. Warriors have come out strong in the 3rd the last two games so we got to match it.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

It really feels like part of the issue is that Keegan doesn't seem to realize how good he actually is and keeps trying to be a good role player guy.

I think he's really respectful of veteran players "ahead of him". Part of the reason he has fit so well with this team

 

[Tetsujin]

Credit to TD and the Mike Brown rotations.

Playing small helps too. Steph isn't quite as fast as you'd think a guy his size would be so he's having trouble turning the corner against Keegan/Trey instead of Len/Domas.

 

[KF8]

19 free throws for the warriors and only 9 for the Kings to what looks like many missed foul calls on the Kings

 

[TaxMan]

Huerter is a great player and was integral in getting us here. But he’s been cold all series, and it’s not changing tonight.

Lyles is also outplaying Domas, and needs more time in the 2nd half.

Brown has given him a short lease all series. We’ll see the same in the second half unless he comes out blazing hot. I suspect we see a lot more of the lyles at the five lineup.

 

[Dime Dropper]

We need to keep up the same intensity, limit TOs, and pray that Steph/Klay don't go on a rampage. It will happen at some point, so we need to match their scoring.

Small ball is working for us. Love Domas but he is struggling in this series offensively. Want to see us go back to the small lineup if we start struggling.

 

[Ozymandias]

How about the story of the boards at the half!

32-20 us!

Were feasting on the orebs in this one

 

[Kingz19]

That mouse under Domas eye growing by the minute. As is my anger that it was the result of a no call and no accountability.. hopefully it doesn’t seal up.


Also, was a particular reason given that Harrison Barnes only played 7 minutes? Did he get hurt or was it just riding extended minutes for Lyles and TD?

*I thought I saw Kessler for a minute too but apparently not
