[Game] Kings vs. Warriors, 4/3/2022 6pm Pacific 9pm Eastern

[Tetsujin]

First, thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by the tragedy that occurred last night in downtown.

Second, the game is apparently still going to happen and both the Kings and the Warriors appear to be resting everyone tonight.

Hope Barnes is ready to go all 48 tonight. Gonna need him to pull this out.

I'm ready to send this momentum into next season with HB, Damian Jones and Trey Lyles leading the way!

Figures that Neemias's best chance to play comes after he was playing in a g-league game in Utah last night.

Don't forget 3 more games against teams that likely have nothing to play for while the Lakers are in free-fall and we keep our play-in "hopes" alive by the slimmest of margins against the Spurs.

This is the most predictable organization in sports. I wouldn't be as mad about their incompetence if they hadn't boiled it down to a scientific constant.

Very true, but this is the least mad I've been about our end of season planning. Fact is, we're toasting teams with Davion Mitchell, Trey Lyles, Damian Jones, DDV, Metu and Harrison Barnes. What's the O/U on Wins for that core over the course of a full season? 20? We're missing 4 of our top 8-9 players and our 2 very clearly best players. The only thing we can really gripe about are the Barnes minutes and the lack of Queta minutes.

If anything, a solid credit to Monte for finding 2 of these dudes off the street (Jones, Metu), buying insanely low on DDV after his injury, securing another FRP win in Davion and seemingly finding a reasonable rotation player in Lyles after him being the "throw-in". This is how organizations start to turn around; when they find productive NBA talent for almost no investment.

Bringing Fox/Sabonis back this year would be typical KANGZ. As of now, I'm more just being annoyed with Barnes/Queta situation while pleasantly surprised about how well Mitchell/DDV/Jones/Lyles/Metu are performing in more feature roles. And after the Pacers Win, it was basically secured we'd be 7th in odds at that point.

Great test vs Jordan Poole, who's been cookin with Steph out for Davion

 

[The_Jamal]

Poole 2 open looks when switched onto Holiday, Davion, getting good contests on him.

 

[The_Jamal]

No better tank commander than Justin Holiday right now.

 

[dude12]

Holiday is the tank commander

Kings fans best not complain when he plays 39 minutes tonight then

 

[Tetsujin]

Accidentally turned on the Warriors feed. People actually listen to this garbage?

 

[dude12]

I feel sorry for the fans who paid money to attend this

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh noooo we're playing an abjectly terrible lineup and losing...

 

[dude12]

Just play Queta already Gentry

 

[Sluggah]

Painful stat courtesy of the GSW feed I’m forced to watch…our only winning seasons were those coached by Adelman. Didn’t realize we were so trash in the before times.

Fitzgerald is hella annoying

Six seasons of good basketball, sandwiched between thirty-two seasons of losing. It'd be funny, if it weren't so tragic.

That said people in Golden State houses maybe shouldn't be so quick to throw stones until they prove they can win without Steph.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Welp, South Carolina is two minutes away from beating Connecticut, for the National Championship. See y'all after halftime.

 

[Sluggah]

If every eligible person on GSW got a tech…could we tie it up?

 

[EIM86]

One more half away from being able to finish 7/8

A week ago we were talking about 5/6 yikes. Better win one of those top 4 spots.

To be fair, I don’t think we quite understood the Blazers’ ability to suck so hard that it made me question how much I actually enjoyed basketball as a concept.

 

[Ryle]

I truly can't believe what Drayomd Green gets away with without a technical

I truly think Green would've had a very different career had he gotten the calls like Rasheed or Cousins. I guess there is a specific way you do this so you don't come off too hostile/threatening...

 

[captain bill]

Well we almost made it to the last week of the season without getting eliminated. Huzzah

 

[iowamcnabb]

x rated frame segment haha

 

[The_Jamal]

I think Damian Jones is legit good as a roll man.
