Kings look strong !

10 point come from behind against the Warriors.. Curry and Klay bombing from outside. Amazing.

Will be a good series.

Braswell10 · 04-15-2023, 10:27 PM

Great game. Curry had time to shoot a jumper but instead he opted for the one legged floater…it’s going to be a great series.

PKIPP · 04-15-2023, 10:28 PM

Not gonna lie that’s the most fun playoff game I’ve seen in years

Klay isn't good enough defensively to hang with the Kings guards any more.

As soon as Curry went out towards the end of the 3rd and Klay came in, the Kings went on a huge run.

Need to give more minutes to Payton/DiVicenzo/Poole, and take them away from Klay.

Nomad · 04-15-2023, 10:33 PM

Still think the Warriors take this. Too much home-ref stuff.

I agree about the defense part, but they still need him on the court for his shooting. If anything they need to switch up their closing lineup and have Poole in the game. It will hurt their offense having both Draymond and Looney on the court to close the game.

You think Klay isn't good enough defensively so give more minutes to....Poole? One of the worst defenders in the league???

Nobody could stay in front of Fox tonight, even GP2 had trouble, bad take.

ninjabum87 · 04-15-2023, 10:48 PM

Helluva game. Imagine how far ahead Sac would have been if Sabonis didn't miss tons of open/easy buckets. If he gets dialled in better then they're only going to be stronger.

Agree with JV07, it wouldn't make much sense to give more of Klay's minutes to Poole.

Offense: Klay > Poole
Defense: Klay > Poole
Clutch factor: Klay > Poole

Imagine if Wiggins had actually played some NBA games since Feb 13.

Looked pretty dang good to me for being out so long.

Not sure the Warriors are too worried about Fox and Monk combining for 70 on the regular in this series.

Might be more worried about Sabonis looking like Ben Simmons and Keegan contributing nada.

Was an odd win by Sacramento. By all metrics they should have lost. But they won the possession battle by controlling glass.

He did look good given how long he was out but I doubt he would've went 1-8 from 3s (especially with some of the looks he got). Pre-disappearance, he was fairly reliable in knocking down wide-open 3s.

In a vacuum, yes.

But Klay is a one-dimensional offensive player nowadays, since he rarely tries to create his own shot anymore. For example, tonight he shot 14 threes and only 5 twos, and didn't get to the line once in 37 minutes.

Whereas Poole, for all his warts, can get to the rim, gets to the line, and sets up shots for other players with good passing...he shot eight free throws in 22 minutes.

It's never a good thing for the Warriors when they attempt more threes than twos, and tonight they attempted 50 threes and only 40 twos.

Ninja the money making machine.

The #1 source of gambling losses is thinking too hard. When you need mental gymnastics to justify it, probably gonna lose

oshmeehan · 04-16-2023, 07:45 AM

Draymond is such a piece of trash. That is all

Up and at em.

Don't like the spread on majority of these potential blowouts, so going with

Bucks ML + Den/Minny o222.5alt parlay.

Denver is a machine at home with a top 10 pace and Minny's middle of the pack on d. Yoker and Murray finna run the pressure down their esophagus /pause, forcing them to rely heavily on transition buckets and attacking the weak interior. KAT and Rudy should feast all day on PnRs. But honestly not too concerned on that side...Nuggs may cover 70% of the total. Wouldn't surprise to see them spot 130-135.

Overthink: not even once.

E-40 kicked out last night. Calling it racial bias. Sound like he kept standing and blocking people behind him and someone told him to sit down. He took offense to it. Then he was booted.

pingbling23 · 04-16-2023, 01:47 PM

time to see what lakers we get in the post season. i just want a healthy series/playoffs win or lose.

Who in the hell is E-40?

tjforce · 04-16-2023, 02:30 PM

Lakers showed up ready to play.

Let's see if they can keep it up. Serious AD

Of course its racial!

Self proclaimed thug life rapper was "heckled" all game! How dare that white lady ask him to sit down when he was standing all game with courtside seats....the nerve! And..and..he was nothing but "cordial and polite" in his responses back!! Smh

Memphis getting roasted on the boards...AD just eating them alive and having whatever he wants

Sorely missing Adams
