2024 Play-In Tournament (West): #9 Sacramento Kings vs #10 Golden State Warriors

[SNPA]

Anyone else catch Mike Brown throwing the flag two minutes in?

At first I was annoyed but then realized…he was putting the refs on notice. It was a way to highlight them early. It’s a very clever strategy.

It's weird to see Alex Len still contributing. He was a top 5 pick in that infamous 2013 draft, I really liked him as a prospect.

Hang this in the louvre.

1 am here and I have to wake up at 6:30... and still the whole 4th quarter to go, no bueno mi amigos.

Go to sleep , we tell you the results in the morning

I did it anyway, ended up missing roughly 9 minutes of the 3rd quarter by sleeping here and there, then sleeping for good at the start of the 4th,

It's very hard watching the Warriors games from my country, due to the time zone difference. Obviously I'm like a zombie right now, barely slept over 4 hours and there's a full day of work ahead.

Regardless, I'd like to leave my congratulations to the Kings fans... your team played quite well yesterday, knew how to exploit the Warriors shortcomings. Mike Brown is masterful at planning a strategy focusing on the other team's weaknesses, I saw it for many seasons when he was a Warriors assistant coach.

Please receive my flowers ( ) and enjoy the playoff games, Kings fans. Hope your team gives a proper fight, and maybe even pull off a surprise, who knows? Cheers.

As for the Warriors, much has been debated here on the GB, and certainly on the Warriors board as well, and this is nothing new for those who follow the team somewhat closely... the Kerr + Klay duo basically tanked our season.

This season was, by far, when I watched the most live games ever, and I've been following the team since 1994. I watched roughly 50/52 games this season. I say without a shadow of a doubt that we should have had between 8 and 10 more wins than what we actually had. Klay just regressed so much, numbers cannot express, he shot us out of many games, just forcing a lot of shots, then on the other side of the court with that matador defense and barely an ounce of effort, sulking so much when things didn't go his way.

Kerr, moreover, just refuses to adapt. I still don't know if that's due to a lack of competent coaching staff around him (he was never know as a master "X & O"s type of coach, more like a motivator and an ego manager), but it's been very clear to me, his in-game adjustments, substitution patterns, rotations/lineups management... sucked so much. Bear in mind yesterday's game, Klay sucked and played 30+ minutes, Moody was playing quite well, and barely got 15 or so minutes. That's been like that all season long.

As long as we, as Warriors fans, have the Kerr + Klay combo, together, working inside and outside the court to sabotage things involuntarily, this team won't go very far. And, by the looks of it, Klay will re-sign in the name of giving the old core a "proper way to ride into the sunset" on Curry's final years.

Man the dubs could honestly use Harrison Barnes rn

GSW bring Barnes back?

Won a ring with the 2015 team.

Barnes is an OPP to most Warrior fans, including me. Theres no player I hate more than HB.

[bisme37]

Big congrats to Kings fans, great win last night!

And condolences to my Dubs pals.

[jkvonny]

I ain know the kings had some nobodies
But Ellis might’ve got a payday

Thankfully they locked him into a nice little 3 year deal

He might be on the Pels next year

Via trade?

Hey bud, long time no see. Hope you're doing well. Yep, this season was a disappointment. Cheers.

There's something waiting for you at the kitchen when you come visit me in Brazil, see post #54.

Cheers, my gallant friend.

7-1

[GSWFan1994]

They should trade for Zach Lavine
Just my totally unbiased opinion

Very unbiased!

[GSWFan1994]

7-1

Like it's said here in Brazil, "every day is a new 7-1",

Also, "Brazil is the country where even the past is not guaranteed",

Man it’s crazy the entire world is picking GSW

Silver not gonna let Steph miss playoffs specially w/ a juicy Okc matchup

Sure

[Johnny Bball]

First three pages of predictions in this thread are pretty funny.

[jkvonny]

Yes, they are. lol

Also, the poll was like 70% GSW and Kings 30% yesterday/last nite.

Then when checked this afternoon, it's nearly 50% (52% GSW/ 48% Kings) for each team. The late "voters" came through (after the game)!

[Mamba Mentality]

This is beyond disappointing for the Warriors. No way you bring this same squad back next season.

Curry is going to the Olympics. He's gonna want to be in a better situation after playing with those elite players. Players will be recruiting as well.

Watch out for Lebron/AD recruting Steph to the Lakers.

Steph
Bronny
Vando
Lebron
AD

Just what the Lakers needs, more old folks.

You're definitely in the minority, 99.9% of Laker fans would welcome him with open arms. Would probably need a third team to help facilitate the trade though.
