[Game] Sacramento Kings (3) vs Golden State Warriors (6) (WCDS Game 2, 1-0) 4/14/2023 7:00pm Pacific 10:00pm Eastern (TNT)

[Kingster]

Someone has got to make a 3 in this game. Don't they?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings offense right now looking the way I expected it to look in Game 1, but their ball pressure is keeping them sort-of in it.

 

[Singhisking]

6 steals already

AND, 5 turnovers

 

[captain bill]

They're chucking them because that's what Golden State is giving them; the Warriors have clearly decided that the Kings can't hit enough threes to beat them, so that's all that they're conceding on the defensive end.

Agreed it's been good shots just not falling.

 

[SacTownKid]

I'm a bit surprised not only that TD is in this early, but that Edwards is the odd man out so far in the series.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I mean, it's working but it shouldn't be.

Indeed.

 

[Kingster]

Kings are only down by 5 and playing terribly on offense. I'll take it for now.

 

[MizzouKing]

Keeping up the D will keep us close until they wake up in the 3rd.

at least so far the defense isn’t the problem. We are shooting 35/0 from the field and 3. Gotta find a spark

 

[The_Jamal]

Honestly, can't play much worse offensively between the turnovers and shooting and we're only down 5. Get our offense anywhere close to the median we can win this with how we're playing defense.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Down 5 and missing really open shots while turning the ball over a lot. Not bad.

We need the microwave scorer right now more than the defense. Who woulda thunk it?

 

[SacTownKid]

Thats not Warriors defense, that's just misses

True but they are giving the Kings iso 3's instead of those hand off rhythm ones for the most part. Davion is getting all the sapce in the world but he's just a big game player, he said fine, and stepped in to his elbow range. The others need to start doing the same thing.

 

[KF8]

We dont have it this half. Just keep it 10 or under and regroup at half.

Kings are only down by 5 and playing terribly on offense. I'll take it for now.

And playing great defense........this the mark ......

 

[HndsmCelt]

Hate to say it but the kings are either going to have to find someone who can hit threes, or force a hell of a lot of turnovers in order to open up the court.

Of if Brown wants to stay big, punish a G in the post. Old school style.

 

[SLAB]

Smh this sucks.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

What a waste of a great defensive quarter.

 

[kingdivac]

common lyles dump it earlier

 

[SLAB]

What a waste of a great defensive quarter.

Not yet a waste. We’re at least in this game because of it.

 

[SacTownKid]

There we go, Kevin saw the same crack Davion did. Get the Warriors on that run out and drive right into the mid range. That's where the shots are at right now.

 

[kingdivac]

What a waste of a great defensive quarter.

Not really....

 

[Kingz19]

Finally

 

[HndsmCelt]

I swear to God big Alex blocks Green at least once a game

 

[SLAB]

Alex Len, I take it all back bro.

 

[dude12]

Len making an impact on D and with screens

 

[SLAB]

Alex Len, I take it all back bro.

Nevermind.

 

[dude12]

Ref mode activated

 

[kingdivac]

Thus games over Kings are winning with this defense
