Who would’ve thought that the Kings would be playing later than Minnesota, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Brooklyn, and Cleveland? Possibly even Memphis after tonight.
Yeah that’s what they always say about him…………fun guy. His ex may have a different take but when he gets minutes I don’t think anybody knows what he’s going to do from minute to minute.
There are close calls that they get wrong, but that’s just blatantly terrible. NBA should rate refs not just on percentage of correct calls, but on percentage of egregiously terrible calls.
It’s very clear that the broken finger is affecting Fox handle. Especially tough on him while trying to weave through traffic. Ball keeps popping/slipping away from him
Too many guys in this series have gone silent for too long to beat a team as good as the Warriors. Someone’s got to wake up tonight, methinks, for us to stand a chance.
His ballhandling certainly seems the most affected part of his game, and it’s kind of been a big issue since the second half of last game. We win that one, I think, if his finger isn’t broken, just on that aspect alone.
Kings shooting 23% from 3PT and have 8 turnovers. Should feel very, very fortunate to only be down 2. Need to be a whole lot better the next 3 quarters to have any hope of the upset
I like this unconventional lineup. Had to try something different. I bet we don’t see Huerter any more. Lyles on a mission. If TD can start hitting 3s we’ll be in good shape.
Warriors commentator called the charge on Lyles “right by the rule” but questioned “if you want to make calls that make guys want to jump out in front of each other” lmao. Worse than Kayte in their blind loyalty.
I’m usually not like this, but send in two bench guys to throw down some punches. If they aren’t going to call crap like that against Domas, then it’s on. It’s so f’ing on now.
Tim Donahy must still have cronies in the NBA. This has got to be the worst reffed Kings game outside of the those early 2000s Western Conference finals games. Incredible how blatant it is. For the sake of our sanity, I hope they win this game. The conspiracies could be wild and I’d believe them.
Yeah he needs to finish that instead of trying to hand it to Lyles right under the hoop. Too much of a crowd there. Go up strong, draw a foul or finish that or ideally accomplish both!
Warriors averaged barely over 20 FTA a game during the regular season, good for dead last in the NBA. They have 19 FTA in the 1st half today….while the Kings have outscored them 30-16 points in the paint.
Sabonis and Fox not playing so well. Barnes hardly playing. I think a lot of credit goes to the coaching staff for getting the other players ready to be the next man up and playing with good defense.
During their entire dynasty, I’ve never had a problem with the Warriors. But the behavior of the team, the coaching staff, the fans and media has been absolute bush league. These guys deserve to get sent packing.
If we make a decent amount of open shots the rest of this game, I’m almost certain we win. It’s as simple as that (though of course as we’ve seen this series, making open shots isn’t that simple, for some reason).
Anyone else actually happy Sabonis had to go to the bench with 5 fouls? He’s been totally ineffective and even detrimental. I’ve never seen so many lost dribbles from one player over the last 6 games. Davis and Monk are killing it out there, Lyles too. Great spacing. This finally looks somewhat like Kings basketball.
I hate when Fox does that. Let it roll but don’t even get close to the defender. Won that quarter. Can’t let up. Gotta win this one too. No turnovers and we got this.
So proud of these Kings tonight. 19 point lead. Just be smart now. Fox or Monk drive to the hoop. Layups or free throws. Huerter with a bit of redemption late. Maybe that’s his breakout. Bring on game 7!
We all know the foibles of Terrence Davis as well as his strengths. Tonight he literally pushed, shoved, fouled, and out hustled on several critical plays, Steph Curry. Kudos to him.
Coach Brown and his small ball lineup was a gamble with nothing to lose and he stayed with Huerter who repaid him with several stops, a couple of 3’s and some great rebounding.
He certainly did, all the while hanging onto Steph. Somehow it worked. I hope you can sleep tonight Rik. If you get the NBA TV channel there are some real good interviews of Kings players on.
That was such a stupid call. Especially because they determined it was in the act of shooting?! Immediate next play they did not give Fox (I think) free throws who was obviously going for a shot.
There were bad calls on both sides, but they were something else in trying to skew this game a certain direction.
Brown going small with Lyles at the 5 and TD minutes was a game changer tonight. Got to think we see it again for Game 7. Floor opened up that much more and their pace went up a notch. Warriors looked tired at the tail end of the 3rd into the 4th quarter
Do any of you three know why there were two games rest between two geographically close franchises until this game? What was the rationale of that. Who makes that kind of decision.
Anyone think this was a back handed gift to the W’s?
I don’t know who to root for in the L G game. L to close it out and give us a home court advantage (after we destroy the dynasty on Sunday) or G to extend it to 7 to give us more rest. Help!
It is still insane how LA overhauled that team – and even more insane that other franchises continue to gift them prized possessions for pennies on the dollar.
I thought the series was about equal on the whole with no real advantage for either team at a critical time of a game.
Tonight, was different. I’ll leave it at that. I was really pissed at the calls in this game. They missed a lot and called more than several phantoms. That’s all I got.
The NBA has to,really up its game in this regard somehow. It’s bad for the game and the fans.
SAC-RA-MEN-TO!
Let’s Fucking Go.
Let’s get this job done, and force a game 7 !!!!!!!!
Go, Kings !
Come on Kings! Steal this one and bring back to Sac for game 7. I’m not ready for the season to be over.
Godspeed Kings.
It’s gonna be fun.
Who would’ve thought that the Kings would be playing later than Minnesota, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Brooklyn, and Cleveland? Possibly even Memphis after tonight.
LFG!
I dusted off my Rise the Hot Hand t shirt for this one. Kings in 7
oh hell yes – the start we needed!
I love the INTENSITY !!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great start
Hey, I’ll take a 40-2 run to start the game. I’m not greedy or anything.
I prefer 120-80 to finish them at the end of 4th Qtr
Domas is active on both ends!
Maybe the scoreboard is broken. The Warriors are stuck at 0.
*Slaps scoreboard*
Huh, still broken.
official nba game delay because there’s no way the refs should be allowing that…must be investigated
Sabonis got the memo.
Happiness is a shutout
Get Davion out there. Steph is on fire. Possibly also Kessler for Klay.
How the F did a ref see a foul on Sabonis when Looney went over his back?
They subbed out Steph as soon as Davion subbed in.
Sabonis gets zero respect from the refs. Zero.
What ever happens tonight, at least I don’t have to listen to 2 and a half hours of Doris Burke repeating how she’s the world’s biggest Warriors fan.
This is turning into a rugby match.
Huerter v DiVincenzo.. the Battle of the Bonaduccis
Keegan is going to be something special. Two way.
He has so much potential to take every facet of his game to multiple higher levels
Huerter is shook,
Davion plays like a winner. He never seems rattled.
Huerter’s complete inability to shoot continues on. Great passing leads to a wide open corner 3 and he still can’t bury it
Huerter looks broken.
Huerter may not be the answer for starting SG.
Klay swished a jumper. If he hits 2 in a row, gotta clamp down on him.
Stop allay!
Klay
Dray gotta assault a ref to get whistled for a tech I guess
Davis! Fun.
Yeah that’s what they always say about him…………fun guy. His ex may have a different take but when he gets minutes I don’t think anybody knows what he’s going to do from minute to minute.
where the foul ?
Refs negated TD’s clean steal there
Fuck NBA refs. The officiating in this series is so one-sided.
Draymond smacked Sabonis across the arms and didn’t get called. TD strips the ball cleanly and we’re shooting two. Absolutely atrocious.
There are close calls that they get wrong, but that’s just blatantly terrible. NBA should rate refs not just on percentage of correct calls, but on percentage of egregiously terrible calls.
Thanks to the announcer (Fratello?) who pointed out that terrible call.
I went back to NBC did Fratello agree it was a missed call? I’m sure the Warrior fans will want him fired
JVG
Would Mike Brown also play Edwards in this game ?
Challenge that.
Jesus that is a clean steal by Davis and it’s called a shooting foul. The bias of the Champions.
Possibly from Green complaining a couple plays earlier.
It’s been a very handsy defense on Heurter too. If that was done to Steph it’s a foul as demonstrated by the touch could by Murray on him.
I hope these bad calls start evening out before it’s too late.
It better start by the 3rd or it won’t matter.
Please don’t hold your breath!
Missing open shots again.
Jacking threes isn’t going to win this game. This lineup is stupid.
Okay, start moving the ball again. The guards are getting all the shots because they are the ones bringing the ball up
Still in disbelief at just how awful they continue to be from deep all series long.
The crowd squeals in horror. The refs called the foul, didn’t they?
It’s very clear that the broken finger is affecting Fox handle. Especially tough on him while trying to weave through traffic. Ball keeps popping/slipping away from him
Fox having difficulty with the handle. Also, need Mitchell on the floor to check Curry.
I agree….
Moody cannot steal Fox normally
The only players who are shooting 3’s at their season averages are Keegan, Lyles and Fox.
Good shit Keegan!
The officiating in this series–and how normalized the bias is–has helped remind me why I sort of hate the NBA.
God dammit stop playing hero ball!
Seems like Lyles hasn’t hit anything since at least Game 2.
Too many guys in this series have gone silent for too long to beat a team as good as the Warriors. Someone’s got to wake up tonight, methinks, for us to stand a chance.
Keegan twice.
I’m glad they have Davis on the floor right now.
Fox isn’t himself
Can’t win this game with Fox handling the ball like he has.
His ballhandling certainly seems the most affected part of his game, and it’s kind of been a big issue since the second half of last game. We win that one, I think, if his finger isn’t broken, just on that aspect alone.
His handle is compromised by the injury IMO. Just looks a lot more loose with it and is just randomly losing the ball.
Kings shooting 23% from 3PT and have 8 turnovers. Should feel very, very fortunate to only be down 2. Need to be a whole lot better the next 3 quarters to have any hope of the upset
Run the motion offense.
9 turnovers in the first. Can’t win like that.
Turnovers, forcing shots and the guards are not moving the ball to get shot for the forwards.
And they’re getting all kinds of open threes. Just can’t hit anything.
Our defense has actually been ok
Fox and Monk gotta be better with the handles. Just giving away possessions.
Why did Davis hesitate wide open. He is in there to shoot.
Just another guy with no confidence. Thank god Keegan got his back in a big way.
oh Boy… shooting 31% 8 turnovers and we are only down by 2!
Gotta get Keegan some shots. He was terrible in Game 1 and 2, but he’s one of the few guys out there playing with confidence from three point range.
Has Mike Brown made any adjustments in this game? I need to see more Trey Lyles! He’s our best counter to the rebounding disadvantage.
The lineup to start the 2nd qtr is a big adjustment
I would cut Heurter’s playing time. Shot isn’t falling. And he’s turning it over. Lyles would at least provide rebounding.
Trey Effing Lyles, on the boards. LFG
Agree. He was in to start the 2nd qtr.
Both teams playing bad overall. But Keegan has been a bright spot.
Yes, Trey–we need more of that!
Oh hey a rare 3!
TD is outmatched by Klay
This game TD > Huerter
very low bar to clear
Agreed, but his minutes should come from Huerter, not Davion.
Fucking BULLSHIT TECH ON FIX.
I didn’t even see what he did.
Wow it’s been 8v5 all night
Refs sure quick to give a tech to Fox but Draymond can get away with so much more
Jeff Van Gundy, truth teller.
Ah, that’s who it is. “The Kings haven’t gotten one favorable call all game.”
Nice Job, Lyles…..
Keep him playing…
Fox got T’d up and then coughed up the ball. He has to regain composure so we can get 4th quarter Fox.
How can he be 4th quarter Fox in the second? Be realistic.
Fox doing a little too much Iso right now
that’s not at all what I said. The 1st 3 quarters are relevant to what we see in the 4th.
IT WAS A JOKE!
Does this have something to do with math?
Monk and Lyles need to stay in the game.
“The Kings have not gotten a favorable whistle so far.” Van Gundy with 8 left in 2nd.
I like this unconventional lineup. Had to try something different. I bet we don’t see Huerter any more. Lyles on a mission. If TD can start hitting 3s we’ll be in good shape.
THIS playing pretty solid D
Personally, I’m getting tired of hearing after almost every playoff game from the two-minute report that the Warriors got away with something.
How about giving the better team a fair chance?
Like the way TD is playing
I am proud of the fight in these Kings. Go get them Men.
Compare Fox’s technicals with just the average interaction Draymond has with the refs
Brown has made some good adjustments.
Dray gets away with murder
Lyles stepping up!
Lyles just ballin.
Great pass!
Lyles just taking it to Greene
Absolutely terrible shot from Monk there. Sad to say I’m not expecting anything from Huerter coming in here.
Feed Keegan!
Third charge? That’s heart.
Keegan Murray is a menace out there. The one guy they need to guard at the three point line.
Warriors commentator called the charge on Lyles “right by the rule” but questioned “if you want to make calls that make guys want to jump out in front of each other” lmao. Worse than Kayte in their blind loyalty.
Warriors commentator: showing he doesn’t know basketball without saying he doesn’t know basketball.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It’s 8 vs 5
Fxxk that…
we definitely need to get this win
Lol why was it Looney who was doing the tip off? He wasn’t the one who was locked up with Domas for the ball
Yep, it was Payton
That was Kobe elbowing Mike Bibby bad. Pathetic.
Wow elbow by Looney on a jumpball
Right in front of ref – didn’t see it.
All three of them
Sabonis gets so much abuse with no calls. I’ve never seen anything like it.
What. The. Fuck.
Sabonis gets elbowed in face and falls to the ground and the fans boo him. Nice. Very classy.
Looney with the assault and no call. What’s it going to take to get a foul call on Sabonis? A handgun pulled out of the waistband?
Amazing. I don’t often complain about the refs but holy hell.
Me neither. But this game has been ridiculous.
That crowd is such a piece of shit.
Monk be bouncy
Look at that injury. RIDICULOUS
Warriors really publicly whined about calls after Game 2 and it worked
Klay is hot. Gotta stop him.
Get Huerter off the floor
Be real surprised if he plays more than 5 minutes in the 2nd half. Dude has been a complete disaster this series
14 min, 1 pt, 0 ast, 0 reb, 3 fouls
Get some length on Klay
This game is…wow. Bad by the refs today.
I’m usually not like this, but send in two bench guys to throw down some punches. If they aren’t going to call crap like that against Domas, then it’s on. It’s so f’ing on now.
Tim Donahy must still have cronies in the NBA. This has got to be the worst reffed Kings game outside of the those early 2000s Western Conference finals games. Incredible how blatant it is. For the sake of our sanity, I hope they win this game. The conspiracies could be wild and I’d believe them.
These Warriors commentators are downright Golden State Fascists. Outrageous to listen to on a night with the refs so obviously in their favor.
Doris Burke’d
Go up with that Keegan
Yeah he needs to finish that instead of trying to hand it to Lyles right under the hoop. Too much of a crowd there. Go up strong, draw a foul or finish that or ideally accomplish both!
WWWWHHHIIIIIIIIIINNEERRRSSSSSS
I’d love to hear that chant in G1C
Huerter been a top 5 player for the Warriors this series
Barnes hurt or what?
Yeah, I don’t see what Huerter has done to deserve minutes if Barnes isn’t going to play.
Another horrible call. God’s Justice with curry missing foul shot.
“I’m not sure that’s a foul.” Van Gundy with 36 seconds left in the first half. Huerter foul on Steph.
He’s said that about half a dozen times tonight. And we’re not talking about Kayte Christensen complaining here!
TREY LYLES!
Lyles and Monk need to play extened minutes !
I’m so freaking done watching Sabonis try to dribble through 3 guys.
He just need to assist other guys…and don’t go inside…
If Barnes is out then they might need to.
Well, we’re in the lead. Can’t complain too much.
Sabonis lost the ball for several times..
He’s better just be a facilitor for 2nd half
or just give all his minutes to Lyles
Not true. I can complain soooooo much.
OK, good half, didn’t get killed on the closeout. Officiating a D minus. I’ll take it.
You’re a generous grader of the officials
Yeah, I probably gave them too much credit.
Warriors with a 10 free throw advantage in one half. How far can the refs push it before the end of the game?
Kings playing much better than the Warriors so far, much better than the score shows.
Warriors averaged barely over 20 FTA a game during the regular season, good for dead last in the NBA. They have 19 FTA in the 1st half today….while the Kings have outscored them 30-16 points in the paint.
Come on man…
The next 24 minutes are gonna take a year off the back end of my life.
Sabonis and Fox not playing so well. Barnes hardly playing. I think a lot of credit goes to the coaching staff for getting the other players ready to be the next man up and playing with good defense.
Yes…even TD shows up….his defense is okay…..
He took DiVencenzo’s cookies and ate them in front of him.
Keegan with 8 rebounds.
Apparently Barnes wasn’t on the bench. I wonder what is wrong with him.
Saving energy for Game 7…………..
Surely, he’s injured.
gotta come out balling in the 3rd.
Keep the same INTENSITY…
and ulmost important, pass the ball to KEEGAN for some 3
Mike Brown is gonna get us this win.
How much money is he going to slip into the refs’ pockets at halftime?
Whatever it takes.
Kings have taken 9 free throws to the dubs 19…….absurd!
What have I missed?
Huerter is flat out broken
Welcome back, Barnes.
STOP JUST THROWING UP 3s. GET INTO A FLOW!
Continue to get killed on the boards. How about some Metu?
We’re not getting killed on the boards…..so far
Get Huerter off the floor.
Crazy moves by Fox
Can’t give up an easy basket in transition off a make like that
Criminal officiating.
Great tip-out by Keegan
yes.. we need that
Huerter finally. Run the warriors to death.
Huerter? . . . Huerter!
he is aggressive at the start of 3Qtr…maybe finding his rythem
He’s certainly trying. He knows they need him but damn it’s tough sledding.
Keegan throwing it down!
Murray was hammered on that dunk.
You say hammered, the refs say breathed on.
Refs letting them throw elbows into Domas eyes so no chance they’re calling that
Time for some more TD, Lyles
During their entire dynasty, I’ve never had a problem with the Warriors. But the behavior of the team, the coaching staff, the fans and media has been absolute bush league. These guys deserve to get sent packing.
It all goes back to Kerr
Huerter is so much better when he’s set and just behind the line. The long distance falling sideways shit rarely goes in.
Warriors are tired already, and we aren’t even halfway through the third.
Yep. That was Kerr buying a breather.
Run them out of the fucking arena.
If we make a decent amount of open shots the rest of this game, I’m almost certain we win. It’s as simple as that (though of course as we’ve seen this series, making open shots isn’t that simple, for some reason).
Welp.
Domas just can’t stop dribbling the ball off his leg. Ugly sequence there and he picks up his 5th foul for his troubles
I’m fine with Sabonis sitting.
WHY IS DRAYMOND ALLOWED TO SCREAM AT THE REF?
Look at him when he does it. He screams in their face but at the same time he’s patting and rubbing their backs. They buds
Crafty, crafty Barnes.
Okay, that was bad call. But I’m okay with a little balance.
Move the ball!
Yeah, they’re lost on offense right now.
Bullshit
KENTUCKY BROS!
MONK !!!!!!!!!!!
Lyles is an animal on the boards
They’ve been sloppy and out of sorts and up 11!!!
That is a fabulous sequence by Mr Monk
M O N K
Just maintain the lead..and build on and extend the LEAD !
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hell yes Monk. Defense and offense. Kentucky boys came to play today.
Insanely athletic block by Monk followed up by a deep three. Amazing.
We’re so resilient. I love this team.
Amen Rik, Amen. They do not quit or wither under pressure. A team in every sense of the word.
Anyone else actually happy Sabonis had to go to the bench with 5 fouls? He’s been totally ineffective and even detrimental. I’ve never seen so many lost dribbles from one player over the last 6 games. Davis and Monk are killing it out there, Lyles too. Great spacing. This finally looks somewhat like Kings basketball.
Can’t say I’m happy about it, but Sabonis has been terrible on the block, especially today. SO MANY missed layups and turnovers.
I’d like nothing more than to see a loss hung on that crowd’s forehead.
It feels like the Dubs really can´t quite keep up with this pace. Keep pushing!
Brown has had the Kings pushing the pace every game of the series. Hopefully it pays dividends in the fourth.
Win or lose this series, I just love their fight!!!
The microwave is on.
monkrowave
Kings flying all over the court! Keep running vs this team! Tire this team out
Don’t get sloppy now! Don’t let them finish the quarter on a run
Murray having a huge game on both ends of the court.
How many seconds does Looney get to camp in the key?
I’m so proud of Murray. He could’ve psychologically folded this series. But he just kept learning and adapting and working hard. I love this kid.
Great omen for the future!
Poole doing his flopping act
If the dubs are hoping to have Poole replace Klay or Steph I think they paid the wrong guy
Fox what are you doing man
Fox burned
What the Fox was that?
Fox has to regain his composure
How could Fox not anticipate that? Fucking idiotic play.
No more stupidity
Way to throw away a possession there
Yep, Fox been gambling too much on letting it roll.
I hate low IQ plays.
Cost them a 2 for 1 opportunity and gifted 2 points to the Warriors
Dubs look gassed.
hahaha Draymond with the rookie foul.
As bad as Fox’s.
Yep.
Keep the double-digit lead….
and give 120% effort in 4Qtr
Well, that was another one of those classic Warriors third-quarter runs.
They totally put the Kings on their asses.
I think the quarter was about even.
Oh, I was being sarcastic. The Kings added to their lead by a few.
Question to Kerr. “What about that 3rd quarter”?
See that press the dubs threw in there?
Warriors gonna bring it in the 4th. Kings gotta stay composed. No stupid, unforced turnovers
Forgot about Domas, but we’re still gonna need him at some point.
I hate when Fox does that. Let it roll but don’t even get close to the defender. Won that quarter. Can’t let up. Gotta win this one too. No turnovers and we got this.
We don’t need 4Qtr Fox for this game…
we need team effort to seal this WIN
How about both?
It’s gonna escalate!
As coach would say, turn the fucking jets on!
Play as a team, run hard, defend. Need 30 points to win this. Duds are tired.
At this level, those stupid IQ mistakes get punished.
Need some make up calls from the refs
d up curry
Important to score here. 3!!!!!
Davion on curry!
TD!
Hey, one call went our way!
There was no contact on Poole.
Cheap. Makeup call.
Yep
That was a make-up call
Wtf is up with Bay Area sports 721? Keeps freezing
Refs have gone from bad in favor of the Warriors to just really bad.
Man…..they are really smoking the Warriors with Lyles as the small ball 5 over having Domas out there. Really opening up the offense
So many outright bad or missed calls on both sides, albeit more on one side. It´s stunning how poorly this game is being officiated.
Oh dear, the Warriors are upset that a foul wasn’t called against the Kings?
Let me find my crying chair.
This qtr may turn into a war of attrition and foul shots.
Curry is on a heater. Get your best defender on him!
Time for Davion on Curry.
Domas and Huerter back in
Putting Huerter in over Mitchell is a mistake. But he’s COY I’m the third best grass cutter on my crew
Yeah need Davion on Curry in crunch time
They subbed out Curry. He’ll probably get the run when he comes back
Heurter needs to match Curry
Klay checked in. Gotta contest.
Poole with an obvious carry lol
Monk knows this is a foul shot game.
Lets gooo. Every possesion matters here
Fox and Monk gotta keep attacking the rim. Warriors can’t stay in front of them. Don’t settle for 3’s
This game is such a joy to watch.
My bloodpressure. What a game!
All nighter tonight Rik!
Yeah, not healthy.
I’m gonna give myself an ulcer watching this game
Me too!
We need to keep the focus …………
and Keep attacking
Oh boy this is promising. No matter the outcome, we have some great years ahaed of us boys and girls.
Absolutely.
Yep. We have some players who really step up under pressure. And for those that didn’t, they have a little more playoff experience.
I got to give it to Huerter; he’s working hard on D.
Always
Hope my heart can take these last few minutes.
These last 6:55 gonna feel like its taking 3 hours. Come on Kings. Warriors gonna have another run in them before this one is over. Gotta withstand it
This is rough but goddamn I’ve missed it.
Let’s get some stops
Watch the ref call a foul in the three here,
Huge 3 by Huerter!
Good on him and a rebound.
And a big stop
Gotta give credit to Brown for sticking with Huerter here. Wow.
FINALLY we get something out of Huerter and coach proven right and me wrong with him on the floor
If only Keegan hit that
Domas done. He was getting some big rebounds the last few possessions. Gotta step up as a team with Looney out there
Immediately Fox flying in to grab the board. Gonna need that down the stretch
Domas breathed on Wiggins
Happy to see Lyles back in
Hope that hurts Draymond
Execute here and we´re fine
The Monk-Huerter game!
Better late than never, Red Velvet!
That was BIG
Omg, Heurter¡¡!!!!
Running their offense. Pass and cut.
Good lord what a late ass whistle.
Wooooh
Huerter has finally made it to the playoffs
Warriors killing themselves at the FT line
This officiating is abysmal. Huerter did not commit a foul there.
that’s should be a foul on the Warriors…
This is what I love about sports and determination. Even the refs can’t stop it you take over the game
I didnt see that foul on Huerter. Was it a foul?
It is what it is. Unusual to see a shooter who isn’t running into the paint get called for a foul
Ridiculous, how is that a foul on Huerter???
Lock up on defense and crash the boards
C’mon guys, get this thing back to Sac
Keep the focus for the rest of the game….
Calm free throws by Fox
GO, KINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on Kings, bring it home!
“What do you want to do tonight, honey?”
“Dunno. Netflix and– Hey, let’s go to the game and watch the Warriors close out the Kings.”
“Good idea. Let’s Uber.”
Lol
Fuck me, that is funny Yakshi. I am sitting with my Lab who wants to know why I just spit out water through my Nose.
Is this enough?
Chase. Center. Is. Quite!
Quite full of LOSERS!!!!
Oopps. Well that works too.
lol
Poole is BBQ chicken on defense LOL
Warriors fans walking out yet?
Yessssssssss!
LFG!!
KIngs are hard to beat when Monk plays like this!
The Dubs have given up!
Yup!
One team played with heart. One.
Let´s take a second and appreciate that Fox has been doing this with a broken finger on his shooting hand
This has been a legacy defining series for him
Huerter with a few clutch 3’s down the stretch. Finally!
Really showed up when we needed him most.
God we needed him tonight.
Hope that gets him going and he carries that into Game 7. Perfect time for a flamethrower Huerter game.
Game 7 Kevin. Let’s Goooo!!!
Yep, and Davion doesn’t make those. Brown pulled the right strings tonight.
We fuckin got this
Just keep it between ourselves
Wonder if that timeout was Kerr throwing in the towel and will pull the starters
Up by 19. I’m cautiously optimistic.
Whoa there, JLV
I didn’t see that but I just texted my son the exact same thing. You’re very smart
So proud of these Kings tonight. 19 point lead. Just be smart now. Fox or Monk drive to the hoop. Layups or free throws. Huerter with a bit of redemption late. Maybe that’s his breakout. Bring on game 7!
I LOVE Katye calling out the Warriors fans already leaving. HA!
Announcers calling it
Dubs “fans” walking out on their possible last game of the season
I love how quiet the crowd is. Love it love it love it.
A big high five to Buffalo Diaspora who said in the last post game thread, “Let’s just go to Chase and win and get to game 7 back at Golden 1”.
No quit in this team. No quit in its fans.
Lmao Poole
POOLE HAHA
WHAT A MAGNIFICENT WIN. THIS TEAM IS SO MENTALLY STRONG!
Sorry for the caps.
hopefully worth staying up!
Oh definately.
I am not sure I can sleep right now. So hyped.
Way to go Rik
They are totally warranted. What a win. Kings don’t back down. LTFB!!!
who pushes the button tonight?
Fox and Monk. Or the knot under Domas’ eye.
“This game is boring. Let’s go to Cold Stone.”
Oh shit, lmao
That’s more of a pink berry crowd.
Hahahah
So gonna light some Beams at Chase center?
LIGHT THE MOTHERFUCKING BEAM!!!
Did Steph do a roar?
He went “Night, night” about half way through the 4th quarter!
Impressive team performance.
Sunday afternoon Kings!
Good news is Fox didn’t look like the finger got way worse this game.
We can breathe…victory. Light the beam!
Light the beam!
GAME 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF Game 7 is at 12:30 on a Sunday? Terrible time
I disagree 😉
Less time for the tired Dubs to recover!
True
Also less rest for the Dubs
Wooohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s already Sunday in Amsterdam.
It almost is, yeah.
Raining like an open curl wave at Zuma beach here in Houston, but I see the beam clear as can be.
Well, everything is bigger in Texas.
Almost everything….I was under a little stress during the 4th quarter….
TMI
Lol
Great game Kings!
It´s 5am and I´m so pumped I´m going to watch two teams I despise instead of going to bed. Unbelievable job team!
You are a great fan!
GAME 7 AGAINST THE DEFENDING CHAMPS…IN SACRAMENTO!?
WE DID IT….
now, take some rest, and be ready for GAME 7………………….
we can definitely get this job DONE !!!!!!!!!
The only thing I have the emotional availability to say is… Thank you Kings!
This is an amazing win!!
Love this sport
I see what you did there
Ditto.
Good man nbrans.
I’m speechless. What a win…..what a team. I am so proud of them.
YESSSIR. We nice.
Light the beam!!! Will fucking called it!
I recalled Kevin Martin in Playoff game vs Spurs and said…”They stole one from one…and now we stole one back”
Great analogy.
That may not be the right term. Whatever. Still great.
Light that fucking beam!
And I didn’t have to listen to Doris Burke talk about the Warriors like Homer talks about donuts
“Mmmmmm . . . doooooh-nuts.”
Mark Jackson was doing his best to channel Doris but JV Gundynwould not let him blow his hyperbole too often.
Was hoping to hear some LTB chants at Chase. Against my better judgment I put $10 on the Kings to win at +230.
The defense on Curry was outstanding, and even without playing Davion on him much. Fox was excellent.
Game 6 Monk!
Haha, fuck yeah!
We all know the foibles of Terrence Davis as well as his strengths. Tonight he literally pushed, shoved, fouled, and out hustled on several critical plays, Steph Curry. Kudos to him.
Coach Brown and his small ball lineup was a gamble with nothing to lose and he stayed with Huerter who repaid him with several stops, a couple of 3’s and some great rebounding.
Well done Kings.
He did well, but he really made some extremely dumb fouls and had some defensive lapses.
But hey, it worked, somehow.
He certainly did, all the while hanging onto Steph. Somehow it worked. I hope you can sleep tonight Rik. If you get the NBA TV channel there are some real good interviews of Kings players on.
Don’t wake up your wife!
He also got screwed on one could that was a clear strip
That was such a stupid call. Especially because they determined it was in the act of shooting?! Immediate next play they did not give Fox (I think) free throws who was obviously going for a shot.
There were bad calls on both sides, but they were something else in trying to skew this game a certain direction.
Brown going small with Lyles at the 5 and TD minutes was a game changer tonight. Got to think we see it again for Game 7. Floor opened up that much more and their pace went up a notch. Warriors looked tired at the tail end of the 3rd into the 4th quarter
Old men can’t keep up with the young bucks!
Truth
Delta, jwalker and BlueJohn,
Do any of you three know why there were two games rest between two geographically close franchises until this game? What was the rationale of that. Who makes that kind of decision.
Anyone think this was a back handed gift to the W’s?
I don’t know who to root for in the L G game. L to close it out and give us a home court advantage (after we destroy the dynasty on Sunday) or G to extend it to 7 to give us more rest. Help!
Grizz tonight, Lakers in Game 7
Bring on all comers.
It is still insane how LA overhauled that team – and even more insane that other franchises continue to gift them prized possessions for pennies on the dollar.
Hey what going on , anything happening?
Not much but the Kings are playing on Sunday
My Sister in Law just sent me the invite so I will be screaming and losing my voice!
I just want to hug everyone … even inthestarz
Will you make an imprint?
I try hard not to complain about the refs.
I thought the series was about equal on the whole with no real advantage for either team at a critical time of a game.
Tonight, was different. I’ll leave it at that. I was really pissed at the calls in this game. They missed a lot and called more than several phantoms. That’s all I got.
The NBA has to,really up its game in this regard somehow. It’s bad for the game and the fans.
Don’t forget about the Double Dribble Brothers. All in all it has been tolerable until Game 6. 100%
F$ck you deserve it! You can complain
Totally agree.
I have nothing of interest to note here. I simply want to see the thread comments break 500.
