That drive in was treacherous. Stay safe everyone coming in. Just come late if you are coming.
I can’t even imagine how the drive was. Sacramento is getting way more inches of rain today than the Bay Area is.
Stockton to Galt was perfect. Elk Grove to golden 1 was horrifying.
I drove from my house to Luigi’s on Stockton and 14th Ave. There were at least a half dozen really flooded area’s to drive over in my Corolla that I had to take very carefully.
It’s not pretty in some area’s, that’s for sure. Much of the issue I see here in Sac is the flood drains are backed up by all the debris and water.
Definitely the case of leaf flooded drains.
Is it that bad down in Stockton from what you saw?
Flooded in many areas too. Feel bad for the homeless folks.
Flooding just sucks, period. But yeah, it absolutely sucks for those folks.
Sacramento is the Bay Area tho.
Guys, it’s just rain lol
At this amount, it’s not just rain. It’s a potential flood for a few folks. If it were to happen for a few days in a row, everyone would be feeling it.
Well yea think about how long it’s been since we’ve gotten rain, that’s why there’s flooding. It’s more good than bad
That’s not it at all. It’s flooding because of the sheer amount of rain that’s come down over the last 18 hours. It’s not a lack of rain issue.
All time record for rain in 24 hours will set! Fact -means flooding !
Gallo del Cielo likes our chances!!
The Prodigal alarm clock returns…
Good to hear from you Gallo.
I concur.
Hopefully Gallo doesn’t have to drive anywhere tonight……
From dining table to the couch.
That’s good to hear.
I safety made it to my couch with wine and a Kings blanket and a large stuffed bear with a Brad Miller jersey we call Bear Miller.
Kings’ offense is ugly.
So far, these games have been boring to watch, ngl. Basketball is back a little too early with the short offseason
Take a hike with that air ball Buddy.
Sad day, it’s all yellow and gold around me here in the lower level.
Rough crowd in G1
Fox for Simmons. Mitchell can run the point so much more efficiently than fox and already a better shot
I said the same last game and was told I was crazy.
You are crazy.
Shouldn’t you be building your ark?
To go where? I’ll still be stuck in CA…..
Mitchell is already a better pure point guard than fox. It’s pretty obvious. Kings would be so much better with Simmons
Pretty obvious huh? Good to know.
Can we start Mitchell now? Fox for Simmons, please.
I though bjelica was David Lee
These Terence Davis minutes so far this year have been absolute death. Just awful
I just don’t get why Hali is not looking for the 3 anymore.
He only takes open 3’s. He made the defender jump to the other player with a ball fake pass and took a three earlier.
He’s taken a lot more attempts today,
Notice they were all open except for the last heave attempt at the end of the quarter.
looks Like he looking for the 3 more. He’s gotten the same looks in the last games but has chosen to pass it instead
Fox for Simmons while we still can
give me a break with these offensive rebounds for the warriors damn
Fox shot been terrible but he’s gotta take that open elbow jumper there. Hesitated and then had to pass it back out which led to a turnover
How has Draymond not gotten a T yet? Dude’s yelling at the refs constantly
he”ll be getting plenty of them throughout the season
But Holmes did. How messed up is that?
The Kings are just out of sync offensively and it’s early in the season says Kayte. Yeah sure…
Oh but Holmes gets a tech when Drays been yapping all game.
Exactly. Big names get big respect.
Send Buddy for some ball work on Draymond
Kenny Thomas skipped the Thai food tonight
Thai food is just the best…. THE BEST!
Couple things apparent. 1-Haliburton, shoot the ball! Especially the 3.
2-Not a fan of what Fox did in off season. Misdiagnosed what he needed to work on. He doesn’t need size (on strength). He needed to spend all his time on 3s amd FreeThrows. Dumb.
I also fear an injury for Fox now cause all that extra weight and fast.
The Kings rookies looking real good… Much better offense from them tonight.
Barnes has been ridiculous these first 3 games
Harrison is shooting 58.8% from three the last 10 games
Too many turnovers by the Kings
Too many telegraphed cross court passes or lazy passes. Guys need to run back to the ball to help out.
Maybe I’m crazy but I could have sworn I saw Peaches sitting court side.
I hope everyone is safe it’s terrible out there. The fires have really made it dangerous.
The refs love the Warriors, don’t they?
Curry did one of those 3 skips back behind the three point line…. Curry, Harden and the refs don’t count that as traveling.
Kings offense this quarter is pretty much just pray that Barnes can figure something out.
Gotta get the ball to Haliburton as soon as possible and have him run the damn offense.
Haliburton with 8 assists
Forcing a jump ball and then an air ball from Steph… Off night is helping me forgive him for what he did to my Zags in the national championship game.
Tyrese triple double watch.
Terence Davis minutes in the 4th. Lord give me the strength
Fluke Walton for the L
Jeez what is up with Fox handle? Turning into Buddy out here with how many times he’s simply lost the ball when driving to the rim
Fox still trying to do too much. Terrible turnover
Need Holmes out there for the last 5 minutes. No more Thompson please.
TT’s taken a few wild shots.
needs to be pulled after that last stupid possession. Not sure what the hell he was thinking there. Pass the ball back out
Warriors building their lead with both Curry and Draymond out. Game’s quickly fizzling away
Kings run no set plays. Four passes around the perimeter and then shoot a tough shot.
I wish I could see a planned offense. Even after a timeout there didn’t seem to be a drawn play.
Fox with another bad turnover in crunch time…
Gotta get Fox out of there
What was Fox thinking with that pass (or lack thereof) to Holmes? Jeez fox is TO machine
stupid stupid stuff from Fox costing the team again
Meanwhile Ja Morant putting on a show in Staples right now. Another PG in the West who has/is surpassing Fox.
That happened awhile ago.
I already expected the losing battle when it came to coaching night in and night out but I did not see Fox regressing this badly(so far). Kings have no shot at winning vs quality teams with this kind of play by Fox. Simple as that really
Wow Dray gets to scream at refs tonight.
Every night.
This team is garbage. Yeah let’s let Buddy create a play.
Whatever you do, don’t get Simmons, Monte. We love our 30 win teams here. You came to the right place.
Walton is doing the unthinkable. He’s depreciating Fox’s value.
Warriors showing us how to play offense with their good ball movement
Luke Walton has failed to establish an identity with this team or a hierarchy of authority. Buddy should never handle the ball with Fox on the floor.
Except when Fox has 6 TOs maybe.
Pointless to argue when your head coach has shown OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT HE’S CRAP.
Pointless to even be a fan, really.
Welp, it looks like if we have a game thread we lose.
We lose. Period.
I know Hali has a near triple double but I was expecting him to be a more aggressive scorer. 8 points won’t cut. He needs to shoot more.
He was in that third, but I haven’t seen him in a century ever since
Luke continuing to go with Buddy at the end of games over Haliburton. Lol. Just get this 34 win season over with and hopefully the FO can finally come to their senses and fire the guy and get an actual HC who doesn’t stink
Well, atleast the dodgers lost
Fox’s problems are mental. I feel like it’s Luke’s fault.
Fox is bad lol
If Fox was the player we’ve been told he is, the Kings would have won at least one, if not both, of the last 2 games. Instead, the team unravels in the last 6 minutes, especially when Fox and Hield are on the floor.
If you don’t like that…..
Okay, officially rooting for the 1-10 start that gets Luke fired now.
There aren’t going to be any 9 game losing streaks this year right?
Already two deep. Nine is definitely doable for this team.
Golden 1 Center: a great place for Dubs and Lakers fans to get affordable tickets.
Where is the defense they were preaching during the off season? The Kings are still allowing nearly 120 pts ! This team could easily be 0-3.
Please trade Fox for Simmons and let Davion run the offense.
Where’s the F-ing AMAZING chemistry we’ve been hearing about?
Based on talent and experience the Kings will lose this game.
If Walton would actually try to put them in position to win it would greatly help. Until Walton makes some actual strategies stick they have no chance against a half way decent NBA team.
Fox has played himself out of Simmons range now, thanks McNair
I’m sick of Fox, man. I could slap him
Fox plays within boundaries that we all know by now. He’s currently playing poorly but will have games that will lead us to believe that he can attain star status. But he lacks that feel for the game and ability to see the floor that would enable him to do that. He’s a scorer, and Walton can’t find a way to get more out of him.
Luke is still trying to figure out the rotation……………………………
It’s almost funny how different the rotations have been each game. I mean, this team does need more talent, but come on.
Idea……Buddy is not allowed to dribble the ball up or pass the ball.
Total shock to the line up……Buddy is a shooter not a playmaker.
Luke has no idea what he’s doing. Kyle said he’s still trying to figure out the rotation. What’s the excuse this season? India? Covid? What is it?
bomb cyclone
But Fox likes him.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking
Kings could easily win only 2 in next 8.
