... So of course, they have him closing the game out with four guys who won't pass him the ball.

Headline for tonight: Keegan breaks the drought and Kings head into the weekend up 2-1! let's go Kings!
Lol so you want the trade the guy that help lead us to the first playoff in 17 years and lead league in rebound and help us get to a 2-0 against the champ and gotten stomp on the chest and came back to play because we lost game 3 against a team that was heavily favored to sweep us? That’s not a homer take, that’s just not smart take

He has that 18 foot shot all day. If he was David West he'd have 40 every game.

It's probably been said, but this is the most amateurish gameplan I've ever seen, No interior defense, let's get in a 3-point shooting contest. They put zero pressure on Looney. They put zero pressure on Poole. It's sad. Brown should be embarassed. I thought he'd right the ship at halftime, but we came out and continued more of the same.
The refs were an abomination from the start, but it's no excuse for the way this team laid down. I hope they wake up on Sunday.

I wouldn't say that, Keegan is not necessarily doing anything wrong. He's getting mismatched on one end which is just what it is and honestly, he's not been that bad on switches once he's navigated not overplaying his man, and with the Kings system completely out the window he's a complete non entity as a result offensively. Keegan and Huerter are the two measuring sticks as to how the Kings offense is running but the difference is Huerter can run pick and roll so he won't completely disappear.

No expectations means you’re never really *that* disappointed!

Yah he can make it too. Wouldn’t be surprised if Brown tells him to take the shot more on game 4. He’s too selfless sometimes to a fault

Agree. For them to make a deep run, he has to take that shot....and shoot it well
I've spent nearly $100 on beer watching this game at an Australian bar that shows TNT. I can't afford his learning curve. Get me a legit third option on this team.

I like your thinking
His own offense was poor - I think he was worried too much with other players to his own detriment shooting wise.
Someone with no expectations wouldn't react the way that you do to every bad play.

I’ll never understand fans who never have anything good to say, just doom and gloom at every turn. I’m exhausted for them haha

Second that. Refs were not the difference maker. Our ass play was.
You're trying to find an "agenda," where there is none. I don't have a "deal."
EDIT - And what does me being a mod have to do with anything?

I hate to tell you but the Kings being an interior defensive team ain't happening and that ain't on Brown, haha. That said, sticking with the switch so that any entrance to the paint at least has some sort of man to man defender involved can't be avoided. He did it in the first two games but tonight kind of gave a shot to run a little help which per usual, didn't work. Switch D is tough as it is but especially with the kind of personnel he has so letting them get some rest here and there is probably not a bad idea either.

I’m reactive in the moment. Doesn’t change the fact I think we’re going to lose.
Makes the victories all the sweeter tho.

Sabonis needs to develop that C-Webb elbow shot. What a monster he would be.

If he's not doing that all summer I'll be very disappointed.

Don’t worry, you guys will be saying the same thing when in two years he’s still struggling in the playoffs. His game is not built to withstand a series with adjustments from a playoff opponent.

The thing is, he has that shot. Why has he gone away from it, is the big question

Well, the story of this game is hustle.
Kings can’t get beat on the boards, turn it over more, and get beat in the paint and beat the Warriors.
this would’ve been a close game even with the awful shooting if the Kings didn’t punt all their natural advantages through simply getting outhustled. Kings should win those categories or be on par every game against the Warriors.
the good news is that I expect those things to go back to normal next game. Kings aren’t going to allow another 19 offensive rebound game and the Warriors aren’t going to take care of the ball like they did
im getting worried about the shooting though and the still missing rhythm to the offense.
Domas needs to be better. He knows how easy he scores when he just goes straight to the hoop. I don’t know why he’s doing this Al Jefferson slow back down when Jamicheal Green is guarding him.
I still think the Kings can get one at Chase. Either game 4 or game 6.
They blew a golden opportunity tonight but maybe Draymond makes them easier to guard because they were getting way more open looks tonight than the first two games just passing it around the perimeter.

Hope we put them on their a$$ next game. We let them drive past us all game and didn’t give them any hard fouls. We had the opportunity to set the physical tone without Green on the floor. Would have loved to see Len or Lyles knock some of their guys to the wood, esp Curry and Poole

That's what's frustrating about someone like Domas, he has it, he needs the mentality that if the defense is giving him that shot 25 times a game, he's taking it. That's the difference between Sabonis and CWebb.
