I noticed at least three or four times in the first half where a Kings' player who received the ball wasn't prepared to shoot. It's like they were surprised they got the ball. They've got to be ready to shoot the ball when they get it.
Talk about a tale of quarters. The game went from shootout in favor of the Warriors to a little more grime and slime in the 2nd. Now, it's a coaching battle.
One heck of a half of Bball...I don't know who it was early on but someone made a comment about the "flopping for fouls" deal.
I have been a fan of this game for over 50 years and, in my opinion, this "thing" has really gotten worse...a LOT worse.
Davis can at least counter-punch on the offensive… but man, he’s been really rough today on the D side. Curry get’s anywhere he wants and he keeps going under screens.
Wow, this is INTENSE! Just up two. I’ll take it though. Sabonis showing up big time tonight. Gotta try to force some more turnovers to convert into easy fastbreak points.
For the folks whining I just like to point out that the Kings just won both quarters and in the process made the Warriors run their asses off for 24 minutes. Mission accomplished
But it's the *pace* thing on hyperdrive. I mean, we get it, and there's a clear, sensible logic to it. But, damn, I'd trade a few extra seconds for a few more decent shots and a few more points on the lead a the half.

Yeah, this going to be interesting. He sat Barnes, Murray, and Davion a LOT in that first half and rode the Monk/TD chaos wave. Hopefully the others are ready if and when they are called upon. That's a lot of bench time in a crucial game. On the other side, Kerr didn't gamble, he basically stuck with his rotations.
Well about as even as a half could be. A couple changes to take a 7-10 point lead but Klay also missed some shots that could have given them the lead or closed one.

Seems like their main adjustment in game six was to stop the Davion / Fox minutes. Fox is gonna play most of the second half so I suspect Davion only gets spot minutes for the rest of the game.
