Some of it is Steph just lost control of the ball I don't think it has anything to do with Keegan. But the disappointing part is that when Steph run the arc through screen with Keegan pursuing, nobody come to help stop Steph from getting open look...that's the disappointing part. Keegan did good but not great....he should have blocked Klay game winning shot had he come a bit earlier. He was busy guarding Draymond Green. Really? Draymond Green at the top of the key? If he play a bit smart, he would have come earlier and leave Draymond alone. I would live and die by Draymond shot than Klay or Steph.
This might be the game that has made me hate the Warriors. No where near 7akers level hate as that is derived from a bottomless pit filled with hellfire, but two buzzer beater losses in a row to your rivals after getting bounced from the playoffs by them is pretty damn annoying. I can't wait until we are consistently kicking their ass.
We have to see what they look like in more games but this was about as much fight as you'll see from a regular season game. That said, Fox giving you 30 vs. still letting a team shoot 48% with "better" defense isn't a good trade off. Not in today's league. This team with Fox in the playoffs moved their defense up to average by the numbers but the offense when poof.
We let them score too quickly and easily in the final minute. Not the Klay shot but one Steph shot and a GP3 shot at the hoop.
The officiating was dogcrap in the third quarter. So much so I don’t believe the Warriors had one foul called on them.
The reason the Kings don’t beat the Warriors every time they play them at this point is that they NEVER shoot the three ball well against the Warriors despite getting open looks from three. I don’t understand it. 11-35. Kings shoot even OK from three. They bounce the Warriors in 5 games last season and win these first two games.
Domas played a good game except he missed too many free throws. Especially came up big at the end. Probably his best game against the Warriors in awhile.
basically everybody played well. Team rebounding was good. The team defense was mostly pretty good…just they didn’t shoot well again
Obviously if they play with this balance through the rest of Fox’s absence they should be fine…but I’ve said that before when the Kings played a great team well short handed and then they played to the level of the competition. Bring this to Houston and against Portland and most of the upcoming and you’ll eat well in Fox’s absense

Hell no I don't trust Huerter defense. He continue to disappoint me with some of his shots....like there is one play where he drove to the basket and failed to make a wide open drop shot...he sucks at drop shots....couldn't buy a shot throughout the game. He made up for it by making crucial baskets and rebound...that's about it. I think the reason Brown still trust him is because it's hard to guard him on the offensive end due to his quick long strive running through screen. He basically get wide open look almost every time with Sabonis screen at the top of the key. This game is disappointing because the Warriors didn't play particular well and the Kings just need one more solid punch but just couldn't do it.

Well, that's when you need another guy nearby to come and help out (this is a team game). Keegan is near by guarding Draymond. He should know Draymond is not a threat. Sometimes, you don't have to be talented to win games, you just have to be smart and do the little things...Kings just came up short again when it matter. I am sure Warriors are laughing their butt off knowing they keep winning all these close games against the Kings.
The other game, it was Steph dagger, this time it's Klay. The Kings need to understand that to beat them, they have to make other guys make shots rather than these two. Maybe if Keegan grow a brain and left Draymond and double Klay near by, the outcome would have been different. Hell, he didn't have to double...but if he came at Klay a bit earlier, he could have blocked the shot...instead it didn't appear he was close enough to block it.
