[Game] Kings vs. Warriors, 4/7/2023 7:00p Pacific/10:00p Eastern

[The_Jamal]

Crazy how far we've come. We're sitting 4 of our best players and this still isn't close to the worst starting 5 we've had in the last decade.

 

[Caccia]

I was not expecting to see the Warriors just randomly throwing the ball away.

 

[NiNetNiNe]

Is Queta goign to play tonight?

 

[SacTownKid]

great job by Len on Curry, stick to his side, he'll panic.

 

[SacTownKid]

Keegan can't stay in front of Klay. Switch that.

 

[Kingz19]

Might be changing my mind on the warriors being less aggravating to play than the Lakers.

im not feeling the fact that it sounds like a home game for the Warriors. Len dunked it and the crowd went silent lol

 

[SLAB]

I mean, what could you expect. I really hope we don’t get this team in the playoffs. Zero chance.

 

[sauce-26]

Im being optimistic by saying sac fans didnt show up because of the lineup

 

[The_Jamal]

So I'm guessing Trey is "active" but probably won't play? So that leaves:

PJ
Kessler
Keon
Holmes
Metu
Queta

off the bench? And I'm guessing we're going to try and keep Barnes around 25 minutes if we can. Maybe even sit him in the 2nd half.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Keegan can't stay in front of Klay. Switch that.

We've got a first year player who is used to playing as a 4, trying to guard an elite shooting guard. Probably not favorable

We beat them once and narrowly lost twice. I would have to disagree. But what this game does allow us to do if we face them is scout them up close when they're pulling out all their tricks. Must win game for them.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Metu does so many good things and then he decides to drive to the hoop against three defenders

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I don't think Metu will be getting many playoff minutes.

 

[The_Jamal]

This could be a season low for points in a quarter.

Turns out, when you take out the 4 lead creators for an offense, it doesn't lead to good things. Who knew?

 

[NiNetNiNe]

I mean, what could you expect. I really hope we don’t get this team in the playoffs. Zero chance.

If we sit Fox, Huerter, and Sabonis we have zero chance, thanks for noticing.

Klay is just simply far too quick for him. Once a screen comes they should just switch it.

 

[Kingz19]

well, I think some people THOUGHT they were joking when they said Metu was taking 15 shots tonight.

5 shots in 4 minutes

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Well - we can see how valuable Domas is (not that we need that).

 

[SLAB]

If we sit Fox, Huerter, and Sabonis we have zero chance, thanks for noticing.

We have zero chance full strength. Warriors too good, too experienced. The far and away last team I want in the first round.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings got extremely lucky when Metu inexplicably went into a spin move at the top of the key, and predictably bricked it. His getting the offensive rebound and trying to go back up with it while he was surrounded was completely baffling.

 

[Caccia]

I don't think Metu will be getting many playoff minutes.

He looks rusty. Metu was in a good groove when all of a sudden the coaches sent him to the doghouse.

 

[forza kings]

Not fair to the loyal fans who came to see the last regular season game and celebrate the pacific division championship. I disagree with Brown’s decision sitting his best players,

 

[Kingz19]

Come on Mike…atleast give us Queta and Ellis

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

well, I think some people THOUGHT they were joking when they said Metu was taking 15 shots tonight.

5 shots in 4 minutes

I admit I was one of them. I honestly was never a fan.

 

[SLAB]

Metu was shockingly bad for like 2 weeks before he got benched.

 

[SacTownKid]

Metu was shockingly bad for like 2 weeks before he got benched.

He's just way up and down and was clearly mismatched at C most nights for sure. He's been basically meh all season, not sure still why the change up now all of a sudden although I was fully in the Len camp if it were a contest.

 

[SLAB]

He's just way up and down and was clearly mismatched at C most nights for sure.

It was more than his usual ups and downs though. Dude just looked lost out there. Defensively especially. People just blowing right by and around him on the nightly.

 

[kingdivac]

25% shooting from field? .... thou shalt tank

 

[NiNetNiNe]

We have zero chance full strength. Warriors too good, too experienced. The far and away last team I want in the first round.

well, I guess we better just pack it in then. You’ve decided we have no chance.

Early acceptance.
