Yes this,The only really bad Barnes shot was the home run swing with 16 seconds on the clock but that's honestly just nitpicking too because the Kings were in position to win and that's all you can ask for. If there was anything that can be fixed it's the mismatch portions in the last two games where the Warriors have relentlessly attacked the Kings dual big lineup of Lyles and Len without having Lyles pound whatever guard is on him on the other end. You can't let the Warriors get away with having Poole or DDV guard a 6'9" 250 pound big that can score without pounding them.
I can appreciate wanting to see the Kings in the "prime time" slot, but a) I'm pretty sure that ABC wanted no parts of the Hawks, and b) De'Aaron Fox going for 38 in both of his team's games on the network with the biggest market share, and both games being super-entertaining, will probably have the most positive impact on how many national TV games the Kings get next season.Why are the east Coast teams playing later than us?
This is why i hope Brown regrets calling that timeout. I wont talk about it anymore after this but omfg
Credit where credit is due, Curry did a really good job of funneling Fox right into Draymond on the final play. Sure, it resulted in HB being left wide open but smart defense by the Warriors. Also, De'Aaron could have probably done a better job of fighting into the paint before Steph and Draymond really got in position.
The other option could've been Monk behind him to the right but Wiggins should be able to close out on Monk fast enough I don't like the chances with Wiggins being taller.
Wiggins is close enough he can close out to contest, HB was wide open.Fox should have passed it to Monk. I didn't even notice that. ****
I’m looking again, it’s a good clean look. It is what it is. We were down 10 going into fourth and claw back to one possession game with shot at the buzzer. Series is far from over.
Hindsight being 2020, HB was still wide open.I’d gladly take my chances with that matchup. MM is a proven clutch performer that relishes those situations. If Swipa would have passed to MM, there was around 3 seconds on the clock. More than enough time to evade Wiggins and get off the shot.
Monk contested >>> HB wide open for this game IMO. Monk LIVES for this stuffWiggins is close enough he can close out to contest, HB was wide open.
If there is a game 7. I’m going. That’s all I know
That's fair. Plus Monk is slightly hotter at that time than HB. But oh well, we can debate till the cows come home...Monk contested >>> HB wide open for this game IMO. Monk LIVES for this stuff

You take that any day of the week, if you ask me.

Like, I'd say it's still 70-30, at this point but, if this series goes seven, the Kings will play on Christmas. Guaranteed.
We’ll dress me up in a pink ribbon and call me entertained honey “snaps”I'm sure the NBA is already selling ad time, haha. Everyone say it with me! Entertainment, not sport!
the risk is you rush a shot and you leave time on the clock for a 40 footer from Steph.

We just can't expect a starter to score 2 points and still expect to win.
Having said that, we were only 1 wide open 3 point shot away from taking it from them...

It's an intrigue balance, you don't want to see Fox keep insisting if he misses a few in a row when the rest of our shooters are open. And the Warriors are intended to make Fox choose to give it up more or at least insist on taking a bad shot. That also applied to Sabonis, at least a few times where they baited him into going at it alone.And one more aggressive De'Aaron not looking to make a pass away from it not being in that position potentially. One lapse during that 4th quarter of him not going full cannibal is all this team needs to ensure a loss. That pass he through to the scorers table did seem to wake him up a bit though.
So, I gotta ask, if he didn’t call a time out with 10 seconds remaining, what did you expect the KINGS to do?
I repeat, ALL 5 KINGS players were packed inside the paint below the free throw line. De’Aaron was the only one standing outside the paint but only barely. But still well below the free throw line 75 feet away from the opposite basket.
Wiggins and Dray were retreating already well past the 3point line with Klay not far behind.
Did you want to see De’Aaron go 1 on 2 or 1 on 3 against the Warriors best defenders?
that's what I saw on the replay. Still lucky to have one shot to win it, might kill us in the end, but I think we can take Wednesday based on what I saw today.Fox should have passed it to Monk. I didn't even notice that. ****
Yeah, and this wasn't the game to try and fastbreak anyone. The Kings had 15 fastbreak points total. Both teams got back today.
