Warriors were a MUCH better team last year.

Nice work Kings! Now go and steal an away game.

i thought kings would win when dray went out, he's a goon, but he's probably their second MIP.

We lost to them because our guys played scared against them. Instead of using our height advantage and athleticism in attacking inside, we jacked up 3’s hoping we can out shoot them lol. Plus it pays to have a point guard that can shoot and score, while we have Marcus who can’t shoot to save his life.

You keep blaming Smart who scored almost as much as Jrue and Lowry in their own Finals with better %s. But I can’t help you with your agenda.

Our guys choked and played scared plain and simple. The warriors got in their heads and we folded.

Yup. We played so slow too. Everything we were doing felt like they were calculating something while the kings players out there are playing free hard and having fun.

Way different scenarios playing in the first round than the finals but as a young team, the Celtics should’ve played much looser than what they showed. Didn’t showcase their toughness either after game 1 of the finals.

Hopefully the finals L fuels them in this run right now.

Yep, missing OPJ and Bjelica.

Nah, just messing. Essentially same crew but they’ve played worse all year and it’s catching up to them. Funny thing is Kings have been a poor home team this year so they might even be able to steal one in Chase.

wtf just our luck we get the Warriors in the Finals the very last year they’re elite. It’d be nice if we got some fresh blood from the West. I’ll be rooting for LAC, SAC and DEN

They only went 30-26 with Steph this year, compared to 45-19 last season. What a crazy difference with pretty much the same roster.

i still irrationally worry about them, but I also don’t think they’re a very good team lol.

Another great game! Let's go Sac. I don't care if the warriors are alot worse this year. I want them out period xD.

We would have lost in the first round with Sabonis instead of Jaylen last year. Ah ah ah

Draymond Green should be suspended for the rest of the playoffs...That was as dirty as it gets.

Jay King embarrassing himself on Twitter lol.

They’re a much better defensive team on the road. Hope they steal one.

I don’t give a **** about stats. I watch the game. Lowry and Jrue can both hit big shots when it mattered. I can’t say the same about Smart. If fact, i don’t want him taking any shots at all if its not layups. Whatever fan boy

Yeah, whatever fanboy!!!

Holiday trash in the playoffs.

This feels dumb.
