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

[Kingz19]

This is basically the third quarter of game 7 without the offensive rebounds

…And there is an offensive rebound

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Looks like the Kings are in trouble........Oh well didn't expect them to win tonight anyway. Warriors are just too strong.

 

[HndsmCelt]

The feed just went out and I'm considering a mercy killing

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings routinely running that drop, helping off corners, beat off the dribble. I mean, any way you slice it they're getting torched. Kerr is big bro'ing the Kings coaching staff.

 

[est.1999]

Nothing has changed

 

[Bfreeman]

Keep jumping on those fakes

Warriors don’t look strong. They didn’t look strong in the playoffs either. Curry is strong. Basically, the Kings can’t make open shots against the Warriors.

 

[KF8]

It's just one of those nights where warriors cant miss. Nothing can be done.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The feed just went out and I'm considering an emergency killing

Just be thankful for small mercies.

 

[Bfreeman]

Too easy McGee

 

[206Fan]

Defense is awful. Look at how they play defense… and look at us. Doesn’t make any sense

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

No, the Kings are far from stacked defensively, but this is just plain bad.

I agree. This doesn't look like the strong kings Team we saw at the end of last year.......Maybe they are just having an off night......

Advanced experience still making a difference in this matchup

 

[Bfreeman]

We need Fox to do his thing, bring ‘em back

Yea we look weak......I expected much more for a home opener. Not a good sign.

 

[Tetsujin]

My lord I forgot how dramatic it gets in here whenever the Kings aren't just blowing out a team by thirty points

 

[Kingz19]

Starting the half with Huerter guarding Curry was asking for a well deserved disaster. Fox with 3 fouls you go ahead and start the half with Duarte(or Davion) if you don’t want to risk Fox picking up his 4th early.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Going to need a burst here to start the 4th. It’s not out of the question they cool down and they turn it over a bunch too. Let’s get a good 5 minutes to start this quarter

 

[SacTownKid]

It's just one of those nights where warriors cant miss. Nothing can be done.

Part of it was all those open shots from first half? They're going in now. Giving up open shots from high percentage areas is not defense. Even if the team misses them all. The Kings defensive system is largely still janky as heck, reliant on drop in short pick and roll, help off the corners, and persistently out of position.

The positive is that Keegan looks to be a plus defender. We'll see where this goes, it's game 2, but the defense didn't look any better in preseason. Monte might have a path to either add more starpower or defenders at some point. Keegans going to have to be a nightly 20+ though if they can find defenders to put around a big 3.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yea we look weak......I expected much more for a home opener. Not a good sign.

Last year we got absolutely bodied by the Blazers who then went on to be so bad that their franchise player who previously did everything in his power to stay with their team decided to burn the city down getting out.

 

[iowamcnabb]

or how many negative comments only posters we have that come out of the woodwork.

 

[SacTownKid]

Advanced experience still making a difference in this matchup

And that experience is coming from that coaching seat. Just like it did in the playoffs. Kerr is a great coach. Period.

Kings don’t look good tonight

it seems entirely mental against the Warriors.

Yeah, he's part of it. The players are the bigger part of it

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Expect to see more effort and hustle that's all, considering it's the home opener. I think people forget about it being a home opener, so of course the expectations will be higher.

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, he's part of it. The players are the bigger part of it

Make no bones, halftime they saw those open points and that's where they're attacking.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I am appreciating Murray taking his game to the next level here

 

[Bfreeman]

Well Huerters due for a hat trick

 

[Kingz19]

Again with the ****in free throws

 

[sactowndog]

We have the same weaknesses as last year and teams know how to play us. We needed a jump from Davion or Keegan and so far we haven’t seen it.
