Luckily I can watch the game tonight even though normally League Pass would block me out. We have an B/R Sports add-on with our Max subscription we got for free for three months that streams the TNT games. Hoping this’ll be entertaining and end up in a win.
I have league pass through Prime Video and luckily we have the max subscription too. I live in Tennessee, so no blackouts for Kings games for (other than Memphis and Atlanta games)
Wait, if you have Amazon Prime you can get League Pass included? I didn’t know that. I have LP right now but also Prime, so if that’s the case maybe I’ll cancel my LP.
I’m not sure how it works. I had LP before the Max subscription.
Hmm, okay, I’ll look more into it. Although I signed up for the monthly plan for LP and only chose to follow Kings games only, so it’s not too much ($13.99 a month).
I did the yearly, so either way I am keeping it, lol
Kings aren’t broadcasting this game right?
Right
Take that charge Keegan! Way to go
If you had told me three years ago Dario Saric would be starting for GS I would have said pass the pipe.
Lots of fly by contests by the kings already
Good start to this quarter. Barnes making his shots too. Let’s hope they keep this up.
Barnes staying aggressive with the shot, like last game.
Terrible defense by Fox on Curry. He goes under the pick and just stops?
It looked like he thought Keegan was going to switch but didn’t. They need to communicate better.
HB showing we don’t need no trade.
The Warriors and the Lakers seem more similar every week–two bad teams despite having so much talent.
Well rested HB is showing up… maybe he just needs to be load managed? Cycle him to the bench during a 4 in 6 stretch and then start him again after a few days off?
Gotta stop leaving Steph open for three.
Hearing Steph mic’d up makes me dislike him even more.
Curry just pushed Huerter hard to get the ball. Right in front of a ref.
Hey let’s give Curry open threes!
Well, they let him get hot, nice job
Looks like a Steph for 70 kinda night.
Cripes, looks like Curry is gonna lay another 50-burger on us.
They need to get Keegan involved in the offense if Fox isn’t going to try.
Davion says: “I got this.”
Nice to see Davion hit a couple three’s.
Kings are getting all the open threes they want.
‘Cuz we’re letting curry all the looks he wants.
Never understand why teams just aren’t more physical with steph. They just let him run around freely wherever he wants.
It’s driving me crazy. We gotta make sure not to let him have those open looks down the stretch.
Agreed. Leave him bumped and bruised, and at his age it’ll start to wear him down
That’s how you get “touching the Curry” fouls, unfortunately.
Well, make them count then. Be rough with him
What a dunk by Keegan!!!
Somehow the Warriors’ defense looks worse than the Kings’.
Gonna be a high scoring game, I reckon.
Poor play at the end of a quarter again.
What positives have you seen thus far by the kings?
Let each quarter go just like that for a 160-128 win.
Listening to the TNT broadcast, you’d think the Warriors are up by 12.
I just hate when we have national games. We’re still treated as an afterthought.
All about curry even though warriors are losing.
Apparently Podz and Kum Buckets are also future stars in the league too, according to these clowns.
It sucks. Yes Curry is very good, but far out. Stop sucking his ass already
If the Kings keep outshooting the Warriors from three, this is going to be an ugly game for GS.
Why does Duarte get playing time?
Isn’t it because Sasha is hurt?
Nah, brown was trying something different and it failed miserably
I’d rather see Luke Louks get on the floor.
And the bad defense shows up. Whybis Duarte playing? He looks lost
Arguably the worst roster move Monte has made….and he’s a guy who traded for Tristan Thompson.
Love seeing HB post up.
I’m very happy Duarte is out of there.
I think Duarte was given enough time to see what he brings and it doesn’t really help this team.
Would much rather see Ellis or Edwards going forward.
I feel like I don’t understand the current NBA’s defensive philosophies/schemes. I grew up learning man and zone schemes, it doesn’t seem like the Kings have a coherent defensive philosophy. I just don’t see any consistent way to disrupt offenses.
It’s supposed to be switches, and the kings suck at it.
Didn’t think I’d see Davion hit three straight three’s.
Looks really confidant.
Mitchell found his shot in SF
Kings trying to turn this game into a shootout which is probably what the Warriors want. Idk if that’s the right call…
Domas went out and the lead vanished pretty quickly.
Lyles, monk, Duarte were terrible out there.
Gotta take advantage of those Warrior turnovers.
Love seeing Huerter get those offensive boards.
The bias on the broadcast for the warriors is so disgusting. All the replays are warrior buckets.
Wiggins using his off arm on every post up spin and no calls.
They will probably get away with a lot of those tonight.
Draymond wasn’t even close to set there – his right foot wasn’t even on the ground
Saric always kills us
Raining three’s everywhere.
Saric pushes huerter in the backbto get open and no call
That’s not a foul on Sabonis…
Kuminga over the back and domas gets the foul call. Unbelievable
Kuminga here already getting superstar calls apparently.
He has the right jersey on.
Good challenge.
They gotta overturn that, right? Clearly over the back. Domas did nothing to get whistled for the foul there
Another bad call on Sabonis. Wouldn’t surprise me if the challenge fails, I have no idea what’s a foul anymore
Nobody fucking knows anymore. Just assume fouls will be on the kings tonight.
Jesus effing Christ, are you kidding me???
So you can’t jump towards the ball for the rebound when nobody is there, and then kuminga flies in to where domas is going and domas gets a foul call???
His “wrist.” Unbelievable.
You see, Domas clearly was in the wrong for being where Kuminga was wildly jumping into the picture as Domas was attempting to secure the rebound
It was over the back, absolutely ridiculous
Rolls eyes.
Sabonis doesn’t have the right to go for a rebound apparently
Hilarious and terrible whistle
Sabonis made illegal contact with Kuminga’s wrist? WTF? Is this Confederate ref blind?
Another 70+ point first half for an opponent
Lmao, Kuminga thinks now he didn’t foul De’Aaron?
Have the Kings made all their FTs?
Shush!
Yes. Only Fox and Barnes have shot from the line so far. Glad to see Fox has made all his.
10 for 10
Don’t jinx it!
Grant Hill said it was an “acting job by Fox to sell it”. Go fuck yourself
Good to see that neither team has any interest in playing defence
This is looking like an all offense kind of game. Need to tighten the defense up this second half and not let the Warriors get on a run.
Murray’s D > Kuminga’s O
One of those games where the Kings are going to have to win by 15 to wing the game by 1.
The refs are extremely prepared to give this game to the Warriors
I figured by now the dubs weren’t league darlings anymore. Apparently I was wrong. Just a little more effort on D and the Kings can win this.
Did y’all hear the TNT crew say “Kuminga is emerging as a star?” That was hilarious.
Kuminga’s only value is to match salary in a trade.
It’s like listening to the Bay Area commentary team. They don’t even care to hide their bias.
Fox is just an entirely separate component of the offense lately. He hardly runs DHOs with Domas compared to everyone else. He just tries to ISO guys and then ends up with bad shots. Why doesn’t he ever get set up by someone else on a C&S? Or a backdoor cut? His offense has become so predictable.
Part of the reason I don’t want a Kuzma or Lavine. One ballstopping guy is enough.
16 pts on 8 FGAs; 5 assists and only 1 TO
I think he’s doing OK.
Its more of a criticism of Brown than Fox. Idk why Fox can’t play more within the flow of the offense.
Since when did sneakers and suits become acceptable? It’s a horrible look.
Monk only played 7:40 with no points. Think he’s in Browns dog house again?
He was terrible. NO defense at all.
Kings perimeter defense is just so dreadful
Klay screaming right at the official and no T. Unbelievable
Beat me to it. He was screaming at the top of his lungs!
Ref didn’t even tell him to shut up. Just walked away.
Krybaby Klay
HB revenge game!
How bout HB…
Wow, so Klay can scream at the refs til he’s red in the face and no T?
Is closer Fox back? Will be exciting finish later in the 4th
Even though this game isn’t exactly a magnificent display of Kings basketball, at least Domas seems to have exorcised his Looney demons.
HB and Huerter been huge tonight
Wiggins foul on Murray…not called.
Haha, Domas cooked Draymond there
terrible 3s the past couple possessions
2 unprotected firsts is the minimum starting offer for Barnes.
Okie dokie then.
Warriors have four fouls. Need to be aggressive to get them in the penalty.
Aaaaaaand Davion draws that 5th team foul.
Warriors got a 4 leaf clover up their ass on some of these shots they’re hitting. Annoying
you know they will call this a flagrant
Unfortunate, considering it fit was Draymond the refs would have swallowed the whistle.
He never made contact with his head and was trying to brace himself on the fall, but I’m sure they’ll find a way to call this a flagrant for….reasons
Thank God they didn’t.
Would have made their bias too obvious
The fact that they’re reviewing this is insane.
Just glad Monk didn’t get hurt.
Hopefully that neck of Green’s is a little sore.
Mitchell needs to take that shot on the dribble penetration
I bet Klay is mad that the refs didn’t blow the whistle when he just fell down.
Monk looks terrible tonight.
floater time right there. He needs to develop that
Davion pulled the rug on Klay lol
Davion chair move – cancel all trades Monte
Great job by Mitchell…old post up defensive moves
You don’t see that very often, but that was really nice.
Yeah, it takes good timing and a deft touch to pull off. That move and Fox’s ball taps are the only real defensive moves a smaller player can make when getting posted up.
just what they need, Kessler for 3
I like it, I hope to see more of Edwards
Edwards? Wtf MB
Monk is bad tonight.
Monk just does not have it at all tonight. Jeez
Draymond fouled Monk twice there
How long until Green blows his top again?
Kings first to 100
It’s like we just traded for Barnes
Mid-season acquisition, HAHA
HB is on fire
Kings bench as been atrocious tonight, except for Davion.
Screw it, 3 unprotected FRPs starts the bidding on Barnes.
I am so happy for HB.
HB deserves good things.
Warriors starting 5 are all negative +/- this game. Their bench is the difference
Monk do something! Edwards go
back to the bench!
HE JUST DID!!!
MONK DUNK!!!!
I’m certainly glad we’re hitting our three’s tonight.
TECHNICAL ON KLAY!!!!
Give Klay a tech already. Dude been crying at the refs all game long
Finally
They let him talk for a long time before they finally gave it to him.
Finally gets a T….JFC
Fox seems to be playing C as he’s guarding Green
Klay can feel himself slipping into irrelevance
yeah, injuries and age have caught up to him, but he still has a fighter’s mentality and its hard to accept that you cant compete as you once did
Good for Edwards for standing up to Green.
Need to have Barnes on the floor down the stretch.
I swear, based on the commentators verbal fellating, the Warriors are up by 30.
Yeah, it’s so annoying.
One of thos Curry special foul calls
Grant Hill gotta have money on the Warriors. WTF is this commentary
Has the sideline reporter had any dialogue about the Kings? Been all Warriors crap.
If I didn’t know Grant Hill’s history, I would think from his color commentary that he had never played an NBA game.
Monk needs to ride the pine
Travel call on Monk? WTF?
Barnes is saving us tonight.
Time to sit Monk the rest of the game
Can you believe HB?
Monk is a liability this game
Can Keegan get a touch?!
Barnes 50 piece?
I take back any negative things I may have ever said about Barnes. Holy smokes what a two game performance by him.
Barnes is one point away from tying his career high of 36.
Keegan finally gets a foul from the refs.
Excellent defense by Keegan, just a better shot by Curry
He’s played great D on Curry (and others). I’m guessing he’s the DPOG if there’s a win. Otherwise, it’s Huerter.
Draymond set a moving screen and they called a foul on Murray. Unbelievable.
he also has both his elbows above the shoulders making contact with Murray’s neck
Dubs always crying for fouls when they drive to the basket…
everytime. whiney little..
BACK TO BACK THREES FOR FOX!!!!
FOX TIME
Fox drills his second three in a row and stares down the Warriors bench lol
I think he pointed and laughed at a GSW fan too lol
That was great to see.
Gorgeous three by Foxy! Goddamn son!
Fox has 29 points..
That 3 + stare down by Fox needs to be a gif
Fourth quarter Fox balling out. Back to back 3s. This game is like two heavyweights standing flat footed in the center of the ring trading haymakers.
I swear, the warriors broadcast is two homers that lick the sweat off Steph’s face. The Warriors never commit a foul and if the Kings breath it’s a foul. If I never listen to them again it’ll be too soon.
Time to lock in defensively
HB falls asleep and fouls Kuminga for the and-1 immediately lol
Sabonis has messed up a few times, but he’s playing like a leader.
back to back turnovers for the Kings and then they leave Curry wide open for 3. Brutal stuff
Cant lose curry
Fox leaves Curry wide open.
Kings play defense challenge
Keegan guarding Curry obviously isn’t working
Fuck it, the bidding starts at 4 unprotected FRPs and a starting caliber PF for Barnes.
Just horrid execution down the stretch by the Kings
Oh my God.
SABONIS!!!
Dang Fox needs to take it to the basket
Gotta play D and make free throws now.
It’s coming down to defense and FT’s for the Kings. What could go wrong
NOW MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS!
Barnes is the superhero of this game.
Jeez what a game
Finally!!!
Whew
LET’S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIGHT THAT MOTHER FUCKING BEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BYE BYE WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!
Great defense miss both free throws great defense..lmao wow…
“The Kings lock them down defensively for the last two possessions!”
Fire up the dance thread!
Ol’ Hands of Stone Steph.
Watched the box score all game, tuned in to watch the final play. Terrible free throw shooting and somehow saved by randomly good defense? Why the hell not! LTMFB!
PHEW
Dodged several bullets but it’s a win!
Barnes was amazing.
Fucknig Heuter man. I don’t know why but missing those last two free throws PISSES ME OFF
Well, we don’t win without his 10 rebounds either
And his defensive effort
Nah he just ruined Domas’ triple double. I’m pissed!!!
This is a fair complaint.
And his excellent in bounds pass to Domas for a dunk on the possession where Curry was laying across the line while having the ball land in his lap.
I KNOW I KNOW. It’s just GS PTSD, convinced they would lose.
No worries. He just has to hit those FT’s. My guess is he will be practicing FT’s before the next game.
We won you know?
I’m very happy for HB
Great game HB!
Offensive foul on curry pushing Heurter to crest space.
Announcers obviously forgot the game the Kings won in the playoffs on Dubs home court, game 6, was a victory.
I was not mentally ready to see another Kings heart breaking loss after they fail to hit FT’s in crunch time again. Glad they pulled it out
I was pulling my hair out after the missed free throws!
HB for MVP…what a game!
a psychically important win. haven’t beat GSW on their turf in a while, have blown a couple wins recently. This was a gritty victory to start off the road trip.
Yup.
Most satisfying win of the year. By far. So happy for Barnes. Suck it Curry dribbling off your own foot!! Ha ha!
Always feels good to beat those entitled dorks.
Love the fact that we won by one. The extra point courtesy of whiny bitch-ass Klay’s technical. Thanks for the extra point Krybaby!!
Didn’t see much but have to give credit for no pants shitting on the road end of game.
