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

[Tetsujin]

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

He’s a good man defender but he’s had issues offball. Essentially he‘s got similar issues to Davion but Davion has at least shown himself capable of getting randomly hot.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Every contender is running that lineup

2 3 4 is the same in our offense system anyway. If HB can give us even 1/3 of this every game we could make it work with a defensive guy like DFS

I'll take him for a key defensive stop over Duarte and Toscano

 

[Caccia]

Barnes with 20 points already? He always seems to play well against his former teams. Dallas is up soon.

I remember him never showing up against GS though, which is why this is particularly exciting that he's or leading scorer so far.

 

[Norcalphilly]

Hope Monk can get out of the dog house this half.

 

[The_Jamal]

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.

This is the way.

25 MPG with this newfound USG? Yes please. Keeps him fresh and effective and opens up a slot to add elite defense into the starting 5.

Monk, Lyles, HB is filthy good offense off the bench.

I am sure he was benched for running at Klay Thompson at the three point line and fouling. The Kings are unlikely to win if he scores zero points on one shot attempt.

 

[hrdboild]

Remember when 75pts at halftime was actually noteworthy instead of basically league average?

Not if Barnes scores 30+

The only problem is that Barnes and Monk almost never play together. That would require some work to make it work.

 

[MizzouKing]

Strangely, I’m I’d rather be up by three than by twenty three going into the second half. More left to fight for.

I mean, it might, but there's no evidence of that. In fact, the one season in which Barnes started fewer than 90 percent of his games was the single least-efficient season of his career; he shot career lows from every spot on the floor, and his PER and TS% were also career worst.

 

[The_Jamal]

Lol. NOW they call a ticky tack foul when we have a wide open Keegan 3?

Jokers. Thankfully Fox hits an easy lay-up

 

[Kingz19]

Awful

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Goodness.

 

[HndsmCelt]

That was an unfortunate foul

And he's still not someone you feed the ball to over and over. This upturn is partly him being aggressive but it's simply that Brown clearly changed the offense to include him and Domas is finding him.

 

[hrdboild]

Team stats across the board are almost identical for both teams in the first half. The Kings have 2 more made baskets (one of which is a three) and the Warriors have 2 more made free throws. How are the Warriors a below .500 team when they're basically our doppelgangers every time we play them?

 

[Woot!]

Keegan has a VERY long way to go as a facilitator.

 

[HndsmCelt]

So who had Keegan Murray beating Looney on a jump ball on their bingo card!

 

[The_Jamal]

How is that not a shooting foul??? WHAT???

 

[Sluggah]

Keegan would have been shooting FTs there if he had a Warriors jersey on

 

[Woot!]

Still stunning to me that it took Brown this long to figure out that "including him" might be a good idea.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Awesome game from Fox so far man. I love it.

 

[MizzouKing]

Hey check it out, FOX is back!!!

 

[Kingz19]

Klay turned red

 

[HndsmCelt]

So apparently when you're Klay Thompson you can scream at the rest and there's no T

 

[The_Jamal]

God I hate this team. Such entitled pricks

 

[Kingz19]

Klay Thompson kinda looks like Luke and Owen Wilson’s brother from another mother. He talks like one of them too.
