Sheesh man

 

[Tetsujin]

Keegan probably never goes 0-7 from three again in his career either.

 

[NiNetNiNe]

Keegan’s hand is bothering him, but his defense on Steph was pretty incredible.

 

[est.1999]

It’s official. I hate the Warriors more than the Lakers

Same

 

[NewArena]

A lot of one-sided reffing in these final minutes…

Of course smh i wish we could at least get a fair shot

 

[sactowndog]

Can’t really complain about that game. Players stepped up. We really don’t have long enough wing defenders on that last shot. Davion was there but Klay just shot over him.

 

[TaxMan]

Probably the best regular season defensive game I have seen from this team in years. We are about to make another leap. Now let’s take care of business in Houston.

It has to to some degree. I think it's just typical 2nd year stuff. He'll fight through. You can see the attention to defense, that right there might be your answer to the 3 and D needs.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Awesome effort. By the end of the year I think we are a better team than the warriors. I really hate them.

The Warriors are going to be a tough out. Will be tough to finish with a better record than them...and even then, the matchup is still in their favor, if nothing else because of a mental edge.

One thing is for sure, you can't miss a bunch of free throws and expect to beat them

Classic show up after a loss touting lack of “wing defender” by this guy. Like clockwork

 

[Kingster]

Sabonis was a rock. Keegan continues to impress with his defense. Cory looks to me like he's going to be an important piece to this team going forward. Overall, the team played well. The downer of the evening were three questionable ref calls coming down the stretch. But what else is new?

 

[iowamcnabb]

It does suck that we generally played awesome defense aside from a handful of possessions and we lose. It would be nice to be rewarded for playing well

I know you’re talking about domas, but we only missed 5 free throws and shot 78% from the line.

 

[Tetsujin]

Omax would have blocked Klay’s shot directly into Golden State’s basket and single handedly won us the game

Wow, those were blatant.

 

[iowamcnabb]

It feels good to know that we are a good team. We didn’t just have a miracle season last year. I feel like this whole season is going to be a total dog fight but as long as we clean a few things up we will be fine

 

[Tetsujin]

theyre just lucky Petrusev wasn’t active yet!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Classic show up after a loss touting lack of “wing defender” by this guy. Like clockwork

To be fair, a 6" foot guy on a great high release shooter like Thompson at 6'7, is not a favorable matchup

 

[iowamcnabb]

Also, Lyles to neutralize Saric would have been nice. He really was the only reason GS stayed in it

Strangely enough, on this particular night, Sacramento's defense on that last possession would have been better with Huerter still in, instead of Mitchell. Brown went with reputation over who had it going, and it backfired.

 

[miltonap]

We are GOOD.

Nothing to be mad about.

We are such a good team we are going to beat these guys asses eventually.

Heck of a game.

Props to Huerter for the amazing rebounding job he did, probs to Keegan for defense on Steph, Sabonis for playing like the winner he is (this guy is awesome) I LOVED seeing him hit those midrange jumpers such an important add to his game if he can execute it, Davion for the threes, Colby for the good minutes, Javale for the good minutes.

Hard to really get angry over anything honestly if anything this game taught us something for the future.

Length might be the answer to bothering steph and doubling him seems to be the right move?

 

[reptilexcq2]

Kings broadcasters need to stop calling a rivalry, it's BS. It's not rivalry if you keep losing every time you play GS. I am just sick of this loss again. Why? Because of Mike Brown critical mistake of substitution at the end. You have time to put your best defensive players during a time out with 1pt lead and what do you have? Malik Monk on Steph Curry right at the start of GS possession? Really? WTF. Who's idea is this? Malik Monk on Steph Curry right from inbound. That's how Steph easily drove by him and make the lob shot and give them a 1pt lead. Why in the world you want Monk in there....oh because you want to save a time out so that you don't have to sub Monk back in? But c'mon....i don't know...i don't think that's a good strategy. There is also a foul they didn't call when Barnes drove to the basket when he lost control of the ball...but he was hacked.

And why is Keegan not doubling Klay at the end? When he was driving against Mitchell for the game winner....Keegan should have come quicker and would have blocked the shot. He was guarding Draymond....who care!! You leave Draymond alone. Man, the GS did terrible in the game and somehow some way they find a way to win.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I know you’re talking about domas, but we only missed 5 free throws and shot 78% from the line.

True, but five misses loom large in a one-point loss, especially when your All-NBA center missed all five.

They're not going to get passed the Warriors with any help from the officials. It's just not going to happen. Have to take care of your own business, like hitting the free throw chances that you have and not allowing a short defender to end up on Thompson for a game winner

 

[midtowner]

Darn, darn, darnitty darn, darn, darn!!!

 

[gunks]

Also, Lyles to neutralize Saric would have been nice. He really was the only reason GS stayed in it

I keep forgetting Lyles hasn't even played yet!

I'm both mad and encouraged by this loss.

Madcouraged.

 

[NewArena]

Valiant effort i suppose, but I’m glad i didn’t catch this one and i don’t wanna see the “highlights” either. I guess we’ve at least avoided the inevitable national media “Are the Kings better without Fox” crap.

 

[206Fan]

I hate to be the one to ask, but why was our defense so much better without Fox... it felt like everyone communicated much better on screens and pass offs

 

[NewArena]

I keep forgetting Lyles hasn't even played yet!

Madcouraged.

SAME! We will be seeing this team again and we’ll be far better by the time we do. I’m still not worried about the warriors and i don’t think our guys are intimidated at all. Shouldn’t be.
