Davion, Harrison, and Len being those gutsy guys just keeping you in when the stars are struggling. Winners.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Davion has been great

 

[sono]

Feels like the finals game, wow what a fight for the ball.

 

[Joshoua]

I’m drunk as **** and barely watching the game but still talking shhit in the family group chat filled with kings haters

Alright, the Kings survived the run that time. The 3 G lineup did well for stretches but Fox, Monk, and Davion got oversized a bit there on that Dubs run.

Wiggins hit some outside shots, but the only the way the Warriors win this is through their shooting.....

I MEAN HUERTER had a block.....and he's no shot blocker

 

[Woot!]

Wouldn’t be a kings game if he didn’t get hit in the face

He is getting hit EVERYWHERE.

Compare the shots that take Domas to the ground vs. the stuff that sends Curry tumbling. I know Domas is a big man, but holy crap, y'all.

Davion has been great

Absolutely. Playing way above his level on this stage. Just fantastic. Same with Len. We simply have too many weapons for them to gameplan for.

Man, Davion is making Steph WORK for everything right now. Finals Delly level of try-hard.

Davion is in his ideal environment, guarding Steph Curry in the playoffs…

…not many players fit in that niche.

Exactly. The dude is a warrior. Takes more abuse than anyone in the NBA. And puts up a quiet 12/6 on 67% shooting.

Edit: in the first half.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Is it greedy to want to see 5 to 10 more minutes of Alex Len garding Draymond green?

 

[kingdivac]

Kenny doesn't like the Kings

 

[Woot!]

Kenny doesn't like the Kings

Kenny SHOULD take issue w/whatever he was wearing on his feet.

 

[Kingz19]

They shouldn’t overdo it if it’s not there but the Kings really do need to draw something up for Keegan early in the third. I can’t tell if the Warriors are removing him or if he’s just a ghost out there.

offensively…I see him working on D

 

[fansinceday1]

When did Kenny become such a sac hater?

 

[The_Jamal]

Davion has been like an elite closer in baseball. Dude is playing incredible on Steph and because he knows he's only going to be around 20 MPG, he can go all out max effort every second he's on the floor.

Bench right now has been the most important aspect these first 6 quarters.

 

[Caccia]

I can’t believe the Hornets gave up on him

I can't believe Monk only started one game in four seasons, and sat on the bench much of his last, best season. What a bunch of dolts.

 

[kingdivac]

Barkley pretty good take - Kings bench outplayed their starters --- exactly what you want when starters lose energy

Love everyone here let’s get it

99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, you take one down and pass it around, 98 bottles.....

 

[HndsmCelt]

When did Kenny become such a sac hater?

He felt the team disrespected him when they drafted him.

 

[Kingster]

Is it greedy to want to see 5 to 10 more minutes of Alex Len garding Draymond green?

Not at all. Especially if Len clobbers him during those minutes.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Chuck doesn’t think the starters played well but thought Davion and Huerter have been impactful. Lawd

 

[Kingz19]

My keys are shining though again.
Rebounding. Paint. Bench.

9 offensive rebounds, + 7 in the paint. Winning the bench. Poole only 4 points..

too bad the Kings decided to match them turnover for turnover otherwise we’d be kicking our feet up. Usually the Kings will take better care of the ball than the Warriors.

very impressed with how well they’re playing defensively. Glad to see they had another gear for the playoffs

keep it up.

 

[KF8]

little worried about foul trouble for Fox with how the refs has been calling the game

 

[SacTownKid]

Next half, keeping bouncing Curry off those Domas screens.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I have a feeling if the Kings get up by 10 points or more in the second half green is likely to pull off one of his signature moves and do something stupid.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

I can't believe Monk only started one game in four seasons, and sat on the bench much of his last, best season. What a bunch of dolts.

Unfortunately, NBA playing time is distributed many times not on merit but on office politics/agent politics type dynamics. This is why Brown's "Contract" is so important - it gives him the license and leeway to do what is right for the team, as opposed to some type of expectations or side room discussions. Minutes are the most precious resource a coach distributes.

What Brown has done for team Chemistry is nothing short of genius. Guys are buying in - and loving it.

 

[kingdivac]

Yup. As well as Mitchell is playing, him shooting from the outside is what GS wants

In his defense, he was inches off how high the ball bounced off......let him shoot he's part of the team
