Doggone it. I really wanted a change to the starting lineup.

Guys, people are becoming aware of what we can become. Im at a bbq joint rocking my city edition Sabonis jersey out here in MARYLAND, and people are coming up saying our team is awesome, we love how yall play, you are fun to watch. Whatever happens tonight, DO NOT lose sight of the fact we are changing the perception. We are changing the narrative. We are no longer the laughing stock. WE! ARE! HERE!

 

[KainLear]

Any other team and I’d be okay… why the Warriors. Why must the NBA gods hurt me like this.

Like Malone and Stockton, historically, the young guns would always meet the old master to see how Father Time is progressing.

If you ask me Looney was the biggest beneficiary of the post stomp officiating. He even said "I hope the give me the benefit of the doubt" heading into game 3 and ever since then he's been doing everything GS has accused Domas of doing.

I'll just be honest I think I checked out midway through the 4th Wednesday. If we extend I might be able to get amped again but I think that toxic twitter fanbase has worn me down.

Once again I have no regrets about closing my Twitter account

I understand this point of view. I avoid that place as much as possible but even watching the games I get frustrated with how demonstrative the Warriors players are about every freaking play. They're getting all sorts of help from the sidelines and yet they act like they're the greatest thing to walk the Earth -- not unlike the Houston Astros of the past half decade. But I would encourage you to tune all that out if you can and watch the game anyway -- on mute if need be. Our Kings are more than capable of winning this game and it'd be a shame to miss what would be their best win of the season because of some obnoxious fans. We are the group who supported this team through 16 years of losing and right now they're only 1 game back in this series. I'm still very confident that our team will rise to meet the moment.

I am definitely going to watch. I just feel resigned at this point. This season surpassed my wildest dreams to start and I really thought we had a possible path to the WCF but seems like that stomp happened and everything went haywire.

I'm honestly just mad as hell about that but if all that happens is dray gets one game and the officials totally turn around into protect the Dubs mode, and Kevin Huerter is nowhere to be found, it's like I barely recognize it now. Of course a win tonight probably changes everything lol.

I wish our players were allowed to tug and pull on everyone under the basket. What an incredible advantage

I just pray to god we don’t get Stan van gundy on the call. For as amped up as I was for game 5, he was the epitome of a wet towel during the game. I don’t understand why these stations employ color commentators that actually reduce the excitement of a game.

We just gotta win 4 championships in the next 10 years, and we'll be allowed to do whatever the heck we want...

Looney's career playoff averages are 6 pts and 6 rebs per game. He's not any better than Richaun Holmes -- it's just the last 3 games he suddenly looks like a superstar which coincidentally lines up exactly with when the officials stopped calling fouls on the Warriors under the basket. I respect Steven Adams and what he brings to a team. Kevon Looney is not even remotely Steven Adams. He's just having a run of three good games because Draymond and Poole are punching people in the face and he's there to clean up the mess.

I've been a fan of Holmes and I think he'd have fit well with the Warriors, but if he would have been in the same situation as Looney in this series against Sabonis, I'd don't believe he would have had near the impact and productivity in this matchup, in terms of rebounding and defense. He probably would have scored some more points and maybe had a couple more blocks

Mike Breen, JVG, Mark Jackson, Lisa Salters

Also, SVG is a TNT guy, and the game is on ESPN tonight.

Will the Kings shoot better than 30% from 3?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Will the Kings shoot better than 30% from 3?

Yes, I think so. Will it be enough? We'll find out soon

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Will the Kings shoot better than 30% from 3?

We did in games 1 and 4, so it can be done...

 

[NewArena]

Will the Kings shoot better than 30% from 3?

All i can do is pray. A win would be so freaking awesome

 

[Caccia]

Huerter and Barnes are starting. But I will not give up even before tipoff, even if they are shooting 16% and 22% from three...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Will the Kings shoot better than 30% from 3?

We need to. Bottom line.

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Sooooooo....I saw a notification pop up on my phone that some dude named John Dickinson is reporting that Fox is not on the injury report heading into tonight's game. And I immediately asked myself why would he be? He played in the last game, and looked just fine.

And then I realized Mr. Dickinson is a Warriors insider.

smgdfh...

 

[KainLear]

It's on ESPN right? Why am I still watching the NFL Draft?

 

[captain bill]

This feels like waiting for a funeral. Let's hope we can shock the world (or the small slice of it tuning in tonight)

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Some Dubs fans think that because he's not on the injury report he is healed and therefore was faking.

I mean there is lame/horrible/toxic fans and then there are dumb ones. And they have a good mix of both.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

7pm I think because the Lakers/Grizzlies game is up first?

well everywhere else says 5 so I am confused. But I swear I saw that later start would happen if things worked out that way?

and I'm at work for probably another 45 mins AND I have to bike home (and I'm in OT )

it's on now. 5 pm is correct.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

great so I'll miss most the game

hahaha ease up and enjoy it. It's enough for the players themselves to shoulder the pressure. If we are to go out tonight, we go out in style.

 

[Hillbilly]

Here we go gang. We gotta shoot better than we have, we have to play smart and play with passion...we gotta want it more than they do.

 

[TaxMan]

The fact that the ESPN crew is talking about fox now moving from great to superstar status says a lot about how far he’s come in the last year.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

This 5 PM start has strayed pretty far from the usual 5:08ish

It seemed like though, that Monk was the only one who had some fight left in him come fourth quarter last game.

It's 5:15 and I'm still being told why I should order pizza...
