Kings vs Warriors Game Thread

1-0 when I make the game thread! When should I make my next?

Next year, I'm willing to tank for a shot at Anthony Davis.

Keep making them, please! I'd rather have us win and become an attractive destination for top tier free agents than roll the dice in the draft again.

I must be choosy with my newfound gift. It's like a lucky shirt i had a few years back. I didn't wear it every game, I chose when it was needed, and it lasted quite a while in winning games for us! I think I may reserve the Thunder game.

It's going to take a lot more than 1-2 games for Salmons to redeem himself, but this is a great start to winning back our support. And thank you Coach Smart for continuing to play Thompson over Hayes.

Horrible fourth quarter, but fantastic OT. We really need a bench, wish Jimmer got the wasted minutes that went to Outlaw and Garcia. Hopefully he comes back and takes that rotation spot because we NEED some production there.

Otherwise, fun game, looking forward to continuing the win streak in New Orleans

Tyreke has had a string of good games. He still took his share of bad shots but ultimately he was looking for his teammates and creating opportunities. I see a fundamental change in Tyreke. It seems to stem directly from the institution of a basic system and good coaching. I feel like the growth in Tyreke and Cousins since Smart has taken over shows how detrimental Westphal was to their development. Imagine how much better they would be if they had another year of solid coaching instead of whatever Westphal did while he was here. While it has taken a while, Tyreke is making strides in his game. I am excited for this team.

Yeah, I agree.

There are times that Reke does something dumb but you can see he is willing to share the ball and trust more in his teammates. I think Smart did rub Reke in a good way. Westphal wasn't really a good influence for Reke (or anyone in general).

JT has been playing very well lately - I like seeing that. Hopefully he can keep this up, because, I'd hate to see him get traded. Always sucked hearing his name brought-up in trade threads.

BTW: DMC and JT getting all thoughs rebounds?! WOW!! That's awesome to see. Just imagine what this team can do with both thoughs guy's getting at least 10 rebs a game. Amazing.

From my point of view rather than saying 1 specific player has played well and others havent . I will say the KINGS asa team have played really well together the past 3 games or so . Hopefully this will continue on & on .
Salmons is coming along very well & for me its great if he scores as well but if he can just continue playing great D then I will be happy with him . Tyreke has been playing better & smarter all around .

The team is looking really good as a whole right now .
