its going to be tough to go up 2-0 against the warriors, very. this needs to be a focused A game

The teams starters are starting this non-shooting crap again, 0-9 with barnes continuing his poor play (with Murray and Huerter and Fox starting cold too)

TNT broadcast is terrible tonight. Both teams with 9 turnovers but they can't stop bashing the Kings. Typical.

Some good defensive plays and Sabonis getting Looney in foul trouble. Lots of bench play too. Murray a non factor

Refs have been brutal but I'll take a 6 point lead at the half.

Tough to figure who is the home team from the officiating

8 point lead going into the fourth quarter. Let's hold on and close this one out!! Need to stop trying to force so many threes, let the offense come to us and find a good shot. Defensive effort has been great though!

I've got a bad feeling. 91-88 Kings lead. Man idk if we can pull this off.

Draymond should be suspended for that

Warrior fans are shocked you can't use a player as a human trampoline...

This was the opposite of how we have won, it was grit and toughness. we have a lot of players with natural talent who skid by in the regular season but show out for the moment, now its Mitchell.

Awesome win. Mike Brown is about to lead 15 years of playoffs

Murray is about the only negative, and there is a decision on him this summer about to move him for win now help (I appreciate the one dimension brilliant 3pt shooting, but its one dimension). Does he ever expand and become a solid rebounder, needed defender, playmaker, anything but hand delivered 3s? His value will be the highest, and will he ever not be sheepish? Is that innate

But this win feels damn good. We are now favored to go to the 2nd round by the oddsmakers I would think

Gutted out two wins in a row. If the knock was lack of experience then we are certainly showing we're for real. Need to split games 3/4 and then close it out at the crib!

Defensive play won that game, an inspiring effort!

What a win! Kings need to steal one of the next two. Oh, welcome to the core Davion lol!

Davion was a demon on defense

Hi all, I wish you to knock off the Warriors and this idiot Green! Good job so far.

Vezenkov fan here. He'll win EL MVP this season. How do you feel about the likelihood to bring him over for next season ? He'll probably want a starting role and being the king(no pun intended) of the off ball play I can see him fit nicely with Sabonis and your style of play. I thought initially your FO may want to replace Barnes with him, but he's playing well and is a big part of your success. Not sure about Murray. What are his strengths and fit on the team? Would you consider moving him to the bench ? Bringing over Sasha will make your team deeper and even more dangerous.

Sasha won't get a starting role, particularly not out of the gate. Murray didn't as a #4 pick so Vezenkov won't. He likely won't start all season, but play starters minutes.

Noticed Murray played only 16 mins in each of the two playoff games, but his season stats are good, so I guess you will want to start and develop him. As long as promised some regular minutes I guess Vezenkov will be fine with it. He should be able to cover PF position and probably as a small ball C in the second unit can give you some of the stuff Sabonis provides. He's clearly a good rebounder after leading EU championship and finishing second in EL. Takes care of the ball, had a 7a game this season and is better outside shooter than Domantas, but obviously not on same level in the post.
