What 3 drives? In this game? One was an assisted fastbreak play at the start. The others I can't remember. He only took 3 shots at the rim. And yes, you have to at least show up in the iso stats to not be one. He clearly is one as the stats suggest. Now, can he be more? Sure he can but that's obviously not his role from what we've seen so if it's a question of being aggressive I would certainly like to see Brown explain that. What is he supposed to do on the catch? Is he not cutting effectively? I have no idea.
Brown been getting outcoached badly. We’ve made no adjustments. There role players are basically eating at will. The Mitchell thing isn’t worth the hureter trade off in potential offense even tho he’s been terrible. Curry is still eating out there so is klay so basically we are stopping nobody instead of just letting there stars eat and loving with it. We basically are falling right into there hands
HB 25% on 4.4 3PA
Huerter 16% on 5 3PA
Lyles is 2-11 from 3 after game 1 for 18%
Davion 30.4% on 4.6 3PA
Monk 32% on 5.0 3PA
Fox 33.3% on 9.6 3PA
Keegan 47.1% on 3.4 3PA
This is your series right here. The only guys consistently spacing is getting the least amount of shots of the core rotation guys from deep.

A lot of teams laid eggs this first round, if we bow out we put up more than anyone said we would entering the series. Our future will still be bright as a young team. Monte will have work to do.
It just sucks it has to be this way (if it does end this way). The dubs twitter I've encountered the last week is the absolute bottom of the barrell NBA fan and I lived in SoCal for the golden years.

Yep, the good news is that the Kings are already a couple of years ahead of schedule of those early Adelman teams and haven't already ran out of assets to use to build like those teams sorta were. Also all the big name teams in the west are pretty much on their last gasps of contention (this is probably the last hurrah for this Warriors squad and I refuse to believe that Lebron is going to stay this good forever) whereas the Lakers were younger than us (well, Kobe was) and the Spurs were in their prime/had just drafted Manu and Tony Parker.
As fun as this Kings season has been, teams don't just go from historically bad to title contenders overnight and now is where Monte's job gets tougher.

It was a nice stroke, just a tad offline. That three would have tied the game and it was fairly open. At least Monk showed up this game.
I, too, want to see more adjustments from Mike Brown. The one I mentioned at the half, putting in Kessler Edwards for defense, never came into consideration. Instead, Murray was getting smoked on defense, though not as badly as Huerter.
I would like to hear other takes. Golden State is a tough team to beat, but Steph played 41 minutes tonight and had to work hard. There is a quick turnaround. What other adjustments can the coaches make?

That's the thing, if Murray isn't doing something I would be interested to hear what it is because I'm not seeing it other than when a defender is attached to him he tends to let his stars go to work, which is the right play. Does Brown want him to force himself down low like Barnes and call for it? If that were the case I'm pretty sure he'd be doing it but who knows.
Fox 100% should not be taking 9.6 3PA. I remember people ignoring the red flags of all his 3pt attempts late in the season... he's not that guy. In no world should he be taking that many shots... that's Julius Randle territory. WITH THIS BEING SAID, he's clearly been our best player in the playoffs, but I think you'd like to see him take less 3s overall against a team where every possession counts. He's too good from inside the arc not to settle for those types of shots.. but when everyone else is shooting horrid from 3pt.. maybe Fox isn't the worst option.
Nah i recall Hawks fans discussing his disappearing acts and how much of a tease he can be. Meh, I’m rooting hard for our guys in game 6 though. Warriors just may relax and assume like everyone else that this over. They aren’t familiar with just how damn good we can be on the road and we really don’t have as much to lose now that they’re in control. Bring on game 6.
