He's a solid Moody/GP2 type for them. Every team needs em

Kings clearly not primed for a big run, mostly because roster construction is wonky and still dont think teams can win without a defensive anchor at C (unless you are crazy, Nikola-level elite) but they are going to be a solid playoff team for a while. Brown has really stabilized the franchise, and Fox is a legit #1 type

It's been a little rough to watch....Curry has not able to impose his will on this game.

I am still holding out hope for a late Curry flurry.

Brown won't let him. That little flurry lead to the Kings doubling him once again. Saw it again on that last play.

Dubs getting their asses kicked. Even if they pull this out, and they won’t, they need a tear down in the off season. Please please Don’t bring Klay back.

I'm willing to let him go elsewhere if he wants to or just do whatever if he wants to stay. It's impossible to build a contender around him with the pieces we have his remaining years.

Maybe, but we also have no idea what our "peak" looks like with this team because of Kerr. So while not being a contender isnt on Kerr, the fact that the team has no real identity and will play vets through their coldest streaks while benching quality youth means we're in a lot worse position going forward than we should be

Curry is getting old, and the team around him is too. Tanking needs to be a real option next year

They REALLY miss GP2 in this game, but availability has ALWAYS been an issue with him, so counting on him to be a key piece off the bench is a mistake.

Oh I thought that's what they were tying to do this year...

Steph, CP3, Podz together seems just a bit redundant, especially if Dray is also handling the ball. Defensively I have no clue how you get back in it.

3 guards + jk and we can't get a single rebound.

opposing teams licking their chops when Draymond and CP are out there together...neither one of them looks to score.

Klay simps about to take a trip to Cancun.

I give Draymond permission to get tossed now

Not the reason they're losing, but the refereeing has been puzzling.

You way overrate our talent level. This is our peak. Mid table mediocrity.

Is there honestly 1 team above us in the rankings that you think has less talent than us?

It's over. It was a helluva run... until next year when the core returns.

Yeah it's over.

Brown is selling out to cover the Steph PnR and the Warriors predictably making no adjustments. Just spam it until it works

Kerr has never been the coach to win one game. He needs a 7-game series. Ain’t gonna happen this year.
