[Game] (Preseason) Kings @ Warriors 7:00pm Pacific, 10:00pm Eastern 10/18/2023 (NBATV)

[Sluggah]

If preseason Kuminga persists throughout the season…I’m officially worried about the Warriors

 

[Tetsujin]

Saric just saw his life flash before his eyes as De’Aaron bore down on him.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Interesting. So McGee is the first center off the bench.

 

[The_Jamal]

Annnd Javale leaves Saric with 20 foot of space on the perimeter. Brown has to be smarter with match-ups, he has none chance defending a small-ball 5.

 

[SacTownKid]

McGee trying his hardest. The footspeed just ain't there anymore.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Davion with the quick hook after a really poor 4 minute stint.

Jones nipping at his heels on the depth chart.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings up by one after a quarter despite being outshot 50% to 36%

At 6’8/6’9” and with his shooting ability, this is pretty much unguardable unless you’re Wemby or Chet

Fox and Keegan leading in shots, the way it should be from here on. Kind of wish they posted him up again, you can't let Curry hide on the mismatch.

 

[The_Jamal]

Jones nipping at his heels on the depth chart.

If he's not careful, we're one of the best suited teams to not have a traditional PG on the floor as a back-up. Monk can run it, Jones can run it and one of Domas or Fox is basically on for 48 minutes.

Annnd Javale leaves Saric with 20 foot of space on the perimeter. Brown has to be smarter with match-ups, he has none chance defending a small-ball 5.

Sasha should have rotated to the shooter.

 

[SacTownKid]

Is Lyles out? I didn't see him on the bench.

 

[Caccia]

ICE COLD

Monk has been dishing the ball all over the court to open players, but so far, only one resulted in a basket, after a second pass.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Feels like this quarter is the blueprint, gameplan wise, for our whole season.

 

[Bfreeman]

Anyone else kind of low key wishing we shopped Davion?

 

[Tetsujin]

Is Lyles out? I didn't see him on the bench.

Man, they really just throwing Sasha in the corner. I feel like Sasha needs to start in order to take advantage of his movement. The bench is far more isolation plays.

 

[dude12]

I’d like for Sasha to shoot the 3….quick release right? Shoot it

 

[206Fan]

Sasha is struggling a lot more in the NBA than I thought. Maybe Coach Brown does know more than me...

game looks too fast for him imo.

 

[Tetsujin]

Colby is so good

 

[The_Jamal]

Oh wow, Jones with a beautiful PnR leading to a floater. Bread and butter shot.

 

[PorchSurfin]

Colby Jones is going to be a player

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

You guys were cool in the first quarter, right? I don't have to go back in the thread and check nothing, do I?

 

[206Fan]

Malik is going to get chewed out by Brown lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Monte getting the guy he probably wanted at 24 in the second round is another elite middle manager move.

 

[macadocious]

Colby pushing Duarte out, Javale looks lost on D.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Yeh if you didn’t know any better you’d think he is a 3 year vet (Jones)

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I've seen enough - Jones will be ahead of Davion.

 

[Tetsujin]

Malik is going to get chewed out by Brown lol

With TD gone, that role is Malik’s now haha

 

[Caccia]

McGee trying his hardest. The footspeed just ain't there anymore.

Len should be playing with the second unit. At least give him a shot (or two).

 

[The_Jamal]

Sasha should have rotated to the shooter.

Idk, when your man is in another zip-code with a wide wide wide open 3, it's hard to put the blame on a bad rotation from another guy when you're playing man to man defense.
