[Game] 36/82 Kings @ Warriors 05 Jan 2025, 5:30 PT 8:30 ET

[ShastaKingsFan]

Steph had 20 points on 6-7 from the field and the Kings still won the half by three touchdowns.

3 touchdowns with 3 2pt conversions, no less

 

[The_Jamal]

And Curry had to do most of his work off the ball. A lot of running for him to get his points.

0 assists for Steph too. He's eating, but he's not taking anyone with him. That's often the real danger when he gets going

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Team 100% percent is responding to Christie and what he's coaching. The energy and effort level is night and day

Are we ready to say that he might be more than just another former player from the golden era? I know it's really early

 

[SacTownKid]

But how though? They’re such a small team that if they put Wiggins into that action, it’s just going to result in Deebo being guarded by Steph or someone

It won't be easy but I wouldn't be surprised if they actually went into a half zone or a 3-2. Or at least play the pass over the top. They've had the big helping down a lot.

I’m not a big my birthday guy but if we can hang on and blowout GSW on my birthday while watching green ***** all game I’ll be very satisfied

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Now that's a half time show

Off to a better start than the GM Vladefather era at the very least.

Trade Fox, build around Malik haha

I know you are tongue in cheek but it’s one reason I think trading Fox is a reset and not a rebuild. Monk and Domas have such an amazing chemistry and it opens up the two for Keon who also is a better fit with Domas and makes us so much better defensively.

Keep the same energy for the third. Golden State is on the second night of a back to back, make them use all their energy early in the second half

 

[coolhandluke]

Maybe it's just me but I could get used to 75+ point halves of scoring basketball.

 

[Caccia]

Monk 16/10 +33 in 17'.

He threw some terrific dimes, even though Carter almost missed his alley-oop. This is what a pass-first point guard looks like, one who can also shoot: 4-6 from three.

Keep your foot on the gas! They were running so hard in the second quarter I thought Coach Christie was going to have to call a time out, but then Steve Kerr did whatever he did to stop the game for couple of minutes.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Yeah, Vlade was borderline clueless in his role. Doug is a man on a mission and knows what he is doing

 

[Kingz19]

Beautiful first half

Malik and Domas two man extremely impressive.

These last few games and the end of last season shows that Keon Ellis playing consistent and significant minutes makes this team better.

Warriors on a back to back so a good steady third quarter where they make up little to no ground should put this on ice

 

[Tetsujin]

0 assists for Steph too. He's eating, but he's not taking anyone with him. That's often the real danger when he gets going

Keon’s been doing such a good job on him that his only option has been to jack up the ball the second he touches it which admittedly isn’t a bad idea when you’re the greatest shooter of all time.

Shows you what length can do, most guards ain't catching and finishing that pass.

What do you mean by "half zone"?

Carter also had a super good contest on his last made 3, but Steph doing Steph things.

Vlade drafted fox yall stop hating

 

[The_Jamal]

Don't have to ask anyone else.

This is good

Only half tongue in cheek.

 

[SacTownKid]

What do you mean by "half zone"?

Pretty much where teams sag off the weak side.

 

[Sluggah]

Been cooking. Me and the team. Amazing half of basketball, foul trouble aside.

 

[iowamcnabb]

What’s Monks career high for assists? Got to imagine he is close. I’ll see if I can find it

12 done this year against the Rockets. This is the 4th time he has had 10

 

[Sherds]

I love

Trade Fox, build around Malik haha

I love Fox, deep down I want him to retire a King and win it all with us. But I do find myself wondering what a fox package would do for this team... Especially if we played anything like we have so far tonight

 

[The_Jamal]

What’s Monks career high for assists? Got to imagine he is close. I’ll see if I can find it

Oh he's smoking it. It's "only" 12

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Vlade drafted fox yall stop hating

Vlade was a miserable GM. Don't even front

I don't know. Five games ago our rotation players were so consistently bad that trading Fox was definitely a rebuild. Now they're playing like contenders. What's the real team?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Oh he's smoking it. It's "only" 12

Take a lap

 

[Bfreeman]

The vibe is good, hoping they can continue this positivity.
