Yeah, but Stojakovic only did it twice in his career; Fox has done it twice in this series.38 is just short of Peja's record by 1 point.

Barnes has won a few games with walk off deep shots. He's proven to be a clutch shooter. It just didn't go down this time
If Kings went on and lose the series, they should upgrade Barnes and Huerter. That's the ONLY positions that they can upgrade to take them to another level. There is a ceiling in Barnes game and he had maxed out imo. His individual defense is not overwhelming anybody and at time suspicious because he can be soft at imposing his will. He isn't tall enough to tower and intimidate anybody. Huerter is a liability on defense cause he isn't strong enough and also slow at defensive reaction. That's why Mike Brown can't afford to have him on the court in crunch time despite needing him to score.
Preferably would have put out Huerter, Barnes, Keegan, Monk and Fox and see who theyre going to leave open to double FoxAnd Kerr obviously knew that was the plan by sending the high double haha. Yep, good shot but this another question of why even have Domas out on the floor then? Flattening out the defense works even better with 4 3 points shooters out there.
All things being equal, you want the network game over the cable game, no matter what time it's on.maybe 12:30/3:30ET Sunday is a better rating slot than Sunday night?

Getting the champs in the first round, and making them have to dig deep to beat you? Can't buy that kind of experience.Kings are learning lessons you can only get in crap games like these last two. Kings will win this series.
Feels like this debate is extreme arm chair quarterbacking. Barnes got a great look. He hasn’t been on this series but he’s percentage wise over the course of the year a better three point shooter than monk. Fox had to make a split second decision. If anything I guess I would have preferred fox just attack the middle straight away without taking any clock on the possession.
I have taken a lot of enjoyment listening to Kerr (and Bobby Myers) first admitting that Draymond has always been a headcase (we just swallow our dignity because we wanted to win championships), then further admitting to increasing play time for their wing defenders who can't shoot (GPII, Dray, DiVincenzo) just to stop our offense, last but certainly not least, actually having to play Steph Curry, the legendary HoF shooter almost 48 mins at 35 years old because every time he sits, the Warriors stop making shots.Getting the champs in the first round, and making them have to dig deep to beat you? Can't buy that kind of experience.
Easier said than done, however, eyes on Toronto folks. This could be one of those summers that changes futures for a team like Sacramento along with the rest of the West. If that happens all of a sudden players like Huerter and Barnes will look fantastic as 4th and 5th options. Then you've maybe got Sasha coming in as that next up DHO guy. It's all there potentially and the hurt will only be temporary.
I agreed that Barnes had made them before, who doesn't? The point is...this team should learn to go with the hot hands because that give you a better chance of winning. And that's Monk. I will take a contested Monk than a wide open Barnes in this game. Hell, I would even sub in Huerter for Barnes. Barnes is trying hero ball and keep missing in this game.
Glad the league really sent him a message with the suspension. For someone that embarrasses the league and refs constantly they sure do let him get away with everything.
Brown really needs to come up with a better play on that final sequence. All you need is a 2. Everyone knew Fox was going to be double teamed and the Warriors are too good for Fox to just split the double and dribble between them. Should have set up an early pass and then a pass back to Fox when the Warriors were a little more discombobulated. Instead the play just fed right into their defense.
Yeah it resulted in an open 3 but Barnes was 1-5 from distance this game and giving your chance at a 2 pointer has higher odds of being good.

Who doesn't? There's a whole bunch of rotation players in these playoffs, who have never hit a game winner. Let alone a few of them like Barnes has.
Fox has a lot of confidence in Barnes and so does the team. That's why he's an option there.
Monk is also an option there, but if Fox happens to not see him with little time left, then he likely won't get the ball. He might get it next time, if the play allows Fox to see him
Keegan w 23&7 on 5-7 from 3. Just need Huerter to get it going and our offense will be unstoppable
Almost stole one from the champs at home. Huge rebound from Thursday night to erase all the doubt from that game. Warriors brought their full home court magic and we still almost stole it, now back home to try to get win #3. No one said it'd be easy.
I might be insane here, but we got an awesome last shot out of it. HB just didn’t put it down.Yup. That's why the 1-4 flat is not a great play against a good experienced defense with little time to work with. Also why I didn't like passing the ball way into the back court and wasting a few seconds....it limits options
Completely agree. As much as I would love to see the Kings steamroll through all of their competition, there is much more data to take away from a hard-fought playoff series for an inexperienced team.Kings are learning lessons you can only get in crap games like these last two. Kings will win this series.
I’ve come to the realization that we aren’t winning the championship this year. Im going to eventually be super sad when their run is over, whether it’s this series or the next. Just enjoy this and hope next year we have upgrading enough to be a true contender.Completely agree.

Toronto was really good after the all star break and were some made free throws away from probably making the playoffs. They blamed it on the coach, so they ard likely going all in on OG, Siakam and Barnes. I don’t see why they would be interested in trading one of their forwards for another forward.
I saw Poole walking outside the arena. He fell down 3 times before he made it to his car and whining to non existent official that he missed the call!Sure, only because the officials swallow their whistles most the time. Be real.
All things being equal and fair, neither has a chance to guard him. Even despite Looney and Dray getting away with murder in the paint, Domas is still making an impact. 16/12/4.5 for the series.
It’s beyond maddening to see Poole, Steph and Klay get to the FT line with HALF the contact Domas endures on a consistent basis with NO call.
