[Game] Kings @ Warriors, 1/25/2024, 7:00p PT/10:00p ET (TNT)

[Los Haggis]

The broadcasters must have money on the Warriors. Where's the mute button.

 

[captain bill]

Warriors fans booing Fox getting obviously raked across the arm... Ship the team back to Oakland please

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Free throw % looking good. Huge in these close games

 

[The_Jamal]

Atta boy Foxy, 4-4 so far on FT

 

[Tetsujin]

Dude Keegan out here just having a monstrous defensive game. I’m not sure he’s allowed a basket tonight

 

[The_Jamal]

Man, Keegan being able to check Steph and then just go shut down a big wing like Kuminga. Awesome

 

[Joshoua]

Elite d by Keegan

Need to get him some help on the defensive side

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Keegan has been elite defensively tonight.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Too close for comfort, but we still have the lead. Also there is now a non-zero chance that if we have the lead deep in the third Green will do something stupid and one of our starters will pay.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

How the hell is the team with Steph and Dray on it not the heel team?

Bret in Canada.

Fans? Bandwagon techie lames.

 

[captain bill]

Maybe HB heard all the slander and went on a shooting strike so we'd all appreciate him when he started taking attempts again

 

[Sluggah]

Curry scores 18 in the first, gets Keegan on him…18 at the half.

 

[The_Jamal]

Kuminga fouled Fox, but who's counting?

Anyone think Steph isn't shooting FT's right now in that same scenario?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Well, NBA GM's, Barnes still got it. Better up your offers to include picks on your end, haha!

I vote move him to the 2 and get a defensive stud at the 4. All of a sudden we are a team with good size. Sixers have been running a 3 wing lineup with Maxey and Embiid with good success.

Yeah, the only times he's gotten caught is on pick and roll when the help doesn't come up. One on one the Kings CAN play defense. The scheme is just, yuck level though.

 

[The_Jamal]

I want this win, obviously, but the most important aspect of this game is Foxy back to being himself. Engaged/probing the paint, playing fast. 16 points on 8 shots, 5 ast, 1 TO. That's the All-NBA line we know and love.

 

[dude12]

Sitting here at halftime thinking the refs aren’t going to let the Kings win. What a crapty feeling

 

[Kingz19]

Terrible final shot there

Overall good half though. Good balance. Domas was very good. 2 complete dog crap calls on him. Middy Fox is back. Thats nice to see. Huerter is playing very well. Especially attacking the boards and HB is playing more like he did last season.

They made all their free throws.

Bench was solid despite a notable exception

The negative are the usual poor three point defense.

And where the hell is Malik Monk?

If not for a bonehead foul on Klay shooting a three I wouldn’t even know he was in the game.

Still can’t seem to find his way since selling the Bucks game.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Curry scores 18 in the first, gets Keegan on him…18 at the half.

he had 2 great stands against curry, one against Wiggins and one against Kuminga, 3 totally different player types. Special stuff

 

[thingfish]

Huerter leading all rebounds with 6

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

20 points in the first half for Barnes. What a weird situation this has been

 

[Joshoua]

I vote move him to the 2 and get a defensive stud at the 4. All of a sudden we are a team with good size. Sixers have been running a 3 wing lineup with Maxey and Embiid with good success.

Every contender is running that lineup

 

[Tetsujin]

I think especially on the wing level the Kings just don’t really have many high BBIQ defenders. As much as we can clown Brown for randomly playing JTA and Duarte, the dudes are like the only non-Keegan wings/forwards on the team who are willing to at least try to play aggressive help defense.

 

[The_Jamal]

Huerter and HB both showing us why they're so damn good in our offense when they're right.

 

[Woot!]

HB has the same number of FGA in the last three halves (30) as he had in the previous 6 games combined.

And same number of FTA (12) as in the previous 10 games combined.

Sheesh.

They've had a solid wing defender in Edwards all along....and he's the longest of the options

The Keegan Effect.

and the offense is fun to watch. If this is how we play the rest of the year we are going to win a bunch of games regardless of the outcome of this road trip

Sheesh.

Move this man to the bench as a first option!! His steady offense would mesh well with the chaos that is Malik Monk. And the starting 5 won't miss his complete lack of effort on the boards and defense.
