Warriors are working Wiggins back into lineup, not on a roll like when Cs faced them. They would have won game if Green did not get ejected (based on poor offense before ejection and lights out shooting after by Kings) and would be in control going back home - just like in finals.

I expect 2 blowouts in GS and a winner take all type game
5 with edge to Dubs with Curry out there. Of course, I do like this Kings team and hope you are actually correct.

Absolutely ridiculous Draymond not getting a suspension. The league can't have the Warriors go down 0-3 though....

Can the clippers win this series without PG? I know they got the first one but I still got the suns in this series. Rooting for the clips tho.

Scott Foster filling in for PG. CP has lost his last 14 playoff games against him.

See what just happened in the cavs knicks game? This is why you don't have your key players in the game in meaningless mins. Even if nothing comes from it. That was almost disastrous for randle.

The Kings have to be favored at this point. And I do not see a single team in the West that can beat the Kings if they continue to play how they have been playing.

EEEHHHH the Nuggets are better than them.

Kawai is looking like the best player in NBA again.

Kings better make the most of it. Not even the Warriors can come back from 0-3. Would be sweet revenge if they take out the Lakers too.
