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.
Yeah, good news, Fox is still special though. And clutch. And STILL needs help haha.
 
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.
…and we’re not gonna be getting WORSE. GS is smart to be concerned.

Kings got way too obsessed with passing out of shots to find better ones in the last couple of minutes there. I get that being unselfish is the system but a bad shot is better than no shot/a bad shot with ten less seconds on the clock.

But it wasn't total domination by the Warriors. It was only about ten minutes of domination by the Warriors. Unfortunately for the Kings, that was a very eventful ten minutes.
 
I think there might be too much pressure on Keegan to be our 3rd guy. He’s a streaky shooter too. A lot of power in his shot which causes lots of rim outs. As an on-ball scorer, he’s not doing much. 4TOs was bad. He’s not our main problem tonight, but his inconsistent scoring killed us throughout the game when we needed a bucket.

Huerter has to go. I called it last season… we need someone better. He’s lost all confidence from 3pt and is one of the worst defenders in the league and I don’t think it’s being dramatic.

Time is ticking on Davion. He was unplayable tonight like Kevin. Cost us on both ends by being too lax on offense, but too over-aggressive on defense.

Mike Brown coached a poor game. Why did he play Huerter on Curry in the 1st? Fox was on the bench when Curry went nuclear on us and it went into a double digit deficit. Why did Brown wait so long to put him in? 3 fouls is a lame excuse. He didn’t play Sasha enough minutes. Our offense went into a huge drought and he only played 12mins? The lack of challenge at the end was awful.

Defense as a whole was dreadful.

They toyed with the Kings, like a cat with a mouse.
 
Kevin O'Conner, that you?

In what world is 19-18-7-3 not enough? LOL

That's literally a career game for 99% of the league
For a max players? Naw bro it’s not. He’s not 99% of the players. And he honestly didn’t make a huge impact on the game. A lot of empty stats but he didn’t have a bad game relax

Disagree Murray will be that guy. He don’t mind pressure at all. Game 2 for him. But two games is enough for hueter

Time to revist my "Malik Monk is actually just Zach Lavine/Brad Beal in disguise" idea from last off-season. His ability to be a playmaker from the 2 spot, put pressure on the defense with him attacking the rim and being able to space it out off of Domas/Fox if it calls for it IS what that 3rd guy in this offense should be. And it lets Keegan continue to grow naturally into a 20 PPG scorer, rather than just force it on him if he's not ready.

0-5 Huerter
0-2 Davion
1-7 Duarte
4-5 from HB, but 1-4 from the FT line and we just need someone who's far more willing to take on an offensive scoring role.

That was your game right there.
