Not necessarily. He screwed up when the Kings have number. He passed way to early when he's not even running ahead of everyone yet. If you have the number in your favor, you should be fooling the defenders like you're going to attack the basket before you pass to someone wide open...that's how you exploit the defense. But by passing the ball too early without drawing any man toward you....you're not taking advantage of the number.

. He did have a good game tonight though
Thoughts/observations:
Fox was hesitant from deep and it seems the confidence in his long range game has fallen away. It's a shame as it was a significant weapon early in the season and we need him to regain his confidence with the 3.
Klay was off this game as was buddy. Both warmed up in crunch time and it's a shame buddy didn't go straight up off the inbounds and shoot it. No idea what the hell Dave and buddy were getting into but it's a non issue for me. We're trying to win, arguments happen if that's what it is.
Bagley is a stud, straight up. We fed him well all night and the turnovers he had will only reinforce the learning. He will be starting soon enough. Dave needs to work out if it's at C or PF. Working on his 3 ball in the off-season is key and will give him a starting spot.
In Barnes intro press conference Vlade reinforced that Dave had to figure it out. Stretch 4 is a significant position for us under his system and I think it was inevitable that Barnes would be tried there. He certainly gets up and down better then bjel
Corey Brewer finally getting some burn was great. He is a great vet addition, plays active defense and hit the 3. Been calling out for him to play and glad it's finally here. Should be signed on for the rest of the season

A couple other thoughts on the game.
Just as Barnes committed to inbounding to Buddy 28 feet out, MB3 cut to the basket for a gimme dunk. But the Warriors would have had the last shot, so.....
Two of KD’s swipes on MB3 were legit. However 2 of them were clear fouls where he caught his hand/wrist and not the ball. Just sayin....
I’m peeved about losing this game. I’m peeved they lost all 4 to GSW when they could have won several if not all. I also hate moral victories. But I will say that playing a fully stocked GSW down to the wire with a shot to win in their building all while shooting horribly from 3 says something to me.
This KINGS team is pretty good. If they pretend every opponent is GSW and play with the same energy, passion and fight — they’ll win a lot of these last 24 games.

Well, f**k the Warriors as per usual.
We always run them close but we just cannot beat them. You think we'd have figured it out by now after 3 close games before this one, or just got a single win through blind luck. Buddy made a poor decision on the last play and settled for a terrible shot. Had a legit chance to tie or win there, but can't blame it all on him.
Just frustrating that we can't get over the line against them. Same story every single game. Having Curry is basically a cheat code.

I think Jaeger wanted to run the same play that got Buddy a wide open corner 3 on the next possession. Buddy ignored it and launched from 30. The kind of thing Ginobli would do and Pop would go beserk if he missed but LAUGH if he made it. Buddy was wrong. Jaeger was wrong.
Glad to see Cousins still the same selfish psycho who makes every game about the refs being against him. He clearly would have blown the game if they'd left him in. He and Draymond's brains were separated at birth. Only difference is Draymond can make big plays mad. Cousins just implodes. He will never be able to lead a team.
