[Game] (Preseason) Kings vs. Warriors 6:30pm Pacific, 9:30pm Eastern 10/15/2023 (ESPN)

Somebody maybe named Domas had this one circled on the calenda.

No doubt haha. It's the start of a pretty brutal matchup series from preseason directly into the season by these two teams.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kevin better watch out at this rate.. if Duarte can knock his open 3s, there's no reason to have Kevin start over him

Kevin also our most tradeable contract/young enough to be valuable to a retooling/rebuilding team looking to move a wing defender cough cough Raptors

 

[SacTownKid]

The Warriors are starting to attack the DHO here. Kings have to start working that secondary play they've supposedly been putting in.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Duarte playing his butt off on D only to see Klay keep nailing jumpers over him

 

[iowamcnabb]

Not crisp

 

[SacTownKid]

Putting Keegan, Lyles, and Domas out there together against a smaller quicker team and trying to outshoot them, rather than pound the mismatch. Basketball 101 still evading the concept.

 

[Tetsujin]

We’re getting more Atlanta era Huerter with this bench unit. Guy was capable of running their offense with Young off the floor back then. Might be good next to less traditional point guards like Monk and Davion

 

[SacTownKid]

Now, this with Lyles at C and Sasha at PF is finally getting a peak. Shooting from every position.

 

[SacTownKid]

And in all of about 10 seconds, this is your bench unit coach. Lyles and Sasha, big enough, good shooting, tough and physical.

 

[See_Hanks]

SASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Tetsujin]

Sasha is just a solid player. Knows where to be at all times

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Sasha is 1-1 in the building

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

If he'd tried to dunk that, time would have run out; heads up play.

 

[SacTownKid]

If Lyles is going to keep shooting like he did last season and in this game, this bench unit is going to make it really tough on teams. Really tough.

I will say that while I’m still positive Huerter will be the starter. I didn’t mean to convey in the depth chart thread that I didn’t see the value of Huerter coming off the bench. Especially as it can highlight his playmaking ability more. He also doesn’t need Domas to create offense on this team like perhaps Duarte might because I don’t see how Duarte fits with Mitchell and Monk.


Richaun Holmes lone good game last season of 14 points. Almost all of his baskets were assisted by Kevin Huerter in that game

 

[SacTownKid]

Davion struggling to be a PG here a little bit. This unit needs all the minutes it can get from here on to build some chemistry.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Klay’s shot still unguardable.

 

[Sluggah]

I don’t like Jefferson.

 

[SacTownKid]

Klay’s shot still unguardable.

Especially when someone 30 pounds lighter and 4 inches shorter is on him haha.

 

[sactowndog]

Does anyone else get a feeling something is off with Sasha. For such a good shooter you think they would be looking to get him the ball at the 3 point line. They don’t appear to

 

[Bfreeman]

Honestly, I think it’s so competitive for the bench slots they’re scared to feed him.

No

 

[Tetsujin]

Old faithful HB ends our run of not making a bucket

 

[SacTownKid]

And so far, Barnes is the only guy other than the stars that is going to do that. Keegan, take notes. Don't let a G defend you.

 

[SacTownKid]

Honestly, I think it’s so competitive for the bench slots they’re scared to feed him.

It's chemistry. Look at the heads, they aren't even looking his direction, they just simply don't see him yet.

 

[captain bill]

Davion front rimming a 3 is unfortunate but I'm still riding high off Domas burying two of them to start the game.

 

[sactowndog]

Honestly, I think it’s so competitive for the bench slots they’re scared to feed him.

could be. He didn’t really get a clean pass in his run despite cuts and, for his release, being open. That Huerter pass was kind of odd. Huerter should have shot it.

 

[Tetsujin]

Feels like De’Aaron could outscore this entire Warriors lineup by himself if he felt like it

 

[NiNetNiNe]

Duarte is playing some pretty good defense.

 

[SacTownKid]

I love it. Don't let teams Nellie ball you with this kind of power play potential at the rim. Now, c'mon Keegan, take the ball and tell your teammates to F off, haha. Get mean.
