[Game] Kings vs. Warriors, 10/27/2023 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern (ESPN)

[Kingz19]

I know we're all in doom and gloom mode tonight but this is a different game if the Kings weren't shooting way below their usual average from three.

that’s what I’m saying, Kings can’t seem to shoot well against the Warriors and they get their shots even though they play Domas straight up. It has to be mental. The Kings shooting even almost like they usually do was the difference between winning in 5 games and losing in 7.

And losing tonight if they don’t complete this improbable comeback.

 

[Joshoua]

That’s an easy foul call **** is taking this so long

 

[Bfreeman]

Make ‘em foxy 4 point game

 

[SLAB]

Ooof, that’s a great shot only if it goes in.

 

[206Fan]

Why would you not challenge

 

[SacTownKid]

Wow, bail out refs. Can't call that.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Why would you not challenge

Mistake. Even if you don't know the situation is desperate.

 

[SLAB]

I BELIEVE (don’t check my post history)

Disregard.

 

[SacTownKid]

Mistake. Even if you don't know the situation is desperate.

I mean even losing a time out really doesn't matter. You'll have to stop the clock anyway.

 

[206Fan]

Mistake. Even if you don't know the situation is desperate.

That aw awful by coach brown… there is barely any time left… you’re battling for possessions… what are you saving your challenge for??

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

well yeah it is 100x with the Ws, Lakers, etc in general, but especially on the heals of how game 7 went.

Could be recency bias, but it feels like it's worse with the Warriors than it was with the lakers, certainly relative to expectations.

If you are referring to me, yes I didn’t like this off-season but refrained from repeating myself until we started to get more data. This game is certainly not definitive but our inability to slow down the warriors is a concerning data point.

no I wasn’t referring to you

 

[Tetsujin]

Mistake. Even if you don't know the situation is desperate.

To be fair, the Warriors did a great job of getting the ball in quick too

 

[Joshoua]

**** kinda defense is that

 

[KF8]

not sure what the kings were thinking the last sequence there.. why would u leave curry open of all people

 

[HndsmCelt]

Why would you not challenge

Over reliance on tech

 

[Joshoua]

Why would you not challenge

my a if you lose the timeout who cares

Brown said he always waits for his bench to signal for it. Sometimes he needs to jump in himself

 

[Tetsujin]

OMax wouldn't have let us go down by 16 in the 4th quarter.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

To be fair, the Warriors did a great job of getting the ball in quick too

They did, but situationally, you have to see the questionable call and just immediately throw the red flag.

 

[Bfreeman]

1-1 isn’t all that bad, lol

 

[forza kings]

Where did they find this Duarte guy and why he’s got more minutes than Monk?

 

[SacTownKid]

When the opposing team isn't the oversized Jazz the Kings are still indeed getting a little panicky against the zone.

 

[206Fan]

Brown said he always waits for his bench to signal for it. Sometimes he needs to jump in himself

Bench should’ve been on top of that. Brown can’t wait for them when it wasn’t even conclusive

 

[Sluggah]

Welp. Ahead of where we were this time last year

 

[Bfreeman]

Why do they start bodying people with 15 seconds left, Kangz sighting

 

[iowamcnabb]

Well good effort at then end I suppose. Keegan couldn’t find his 3 point shot tonight and too many mistakes and missed free throws to over come that cocky little bobble head. Take note, Coach brown. Let Wiggins or Klay beat us and double Curry all game

 

[TheMobb]

Fox was a beast in the 4th but taking multiple contested jumpers in the last 2 mins is concerning

 

[Hoovtrain]

Could be recency bias, but it feels like it's worse with the Warriors than it was with the lakers, certainly relative to expectations.

could be.
I also found this game, and the way they lost it at end of 2nd/all3rd, to be highly aggravating

 

[Kingster]

Forget the final score. It was total domination by the Warriors. The typical game where a team dominates, there is a valiant comeback, only to predictably lose. They punked the hell out of the Kings. When Looney goes one-on-one against Sabonis and dunks on him you know what they think of the Kings. And when you have Chris Paul waltz in the lane for layups you know what he thinks of the Kings. Not to mention Curry who did his typical mugging for photos; his shot-making was an afterthought: Is my angle right for the camera? My profile is better on the right side than the left. Here, let me give you my airplane impersonation. This was an embarrassing obliteration.
