I guarantee the last team the Kings wanted to see was GS. Young team, their first playoffs in ages, a 3 seed, and they have to deal with the champs. Toughest matchup they could have gotten.

The Kings are fun but I don’t know if you can ever build a contender with Sabonis’ lack of rim protection.

Seeing all this DHO makes me miss Brett Brown.

I would love to see us bring some of Brett’s DHO game back for Maxey/Embiid. I think those two would be a really effective pairing if we emphasized that action again.

I'm more surprised at the fact Alex Len is a rotation player in 2023

I feel like announcers need to retire the “Heurter is more than just a shooter” line. Nobody thinks he’s just a shooter we all know he’s good.

It's like the 'sneaky athletic' line they use for white guys.

This would have been a good year to get the #1 seed. Bucks 2nd round opponent will be a tier or two below The Celtics.

All this cutting and movement would be troublesome for any defense tbh, both teams were kind of unlucky to play each other

It's a great matchup between these two. The series itself will be a track meet, I just think Golden State is going to outshoot them. I don't think defensively, The Kings have what it takes to slow them. Wigging is back, Payton is healthy. I wouldn't put it past both Golden State and the Lakers to advance in the playoffs despite being lower seeds.

Hard to get a better game than this one. Really high quality basketball.

I’m gonna need Mark Jones & crew to retire the “him” stuff. It’s officially transitioned from new slang to cringeworthy.

De’Aaron Fox has arrived. Showing out against a GOAT tier player like Curry.

As a UK fan, it’s a lot of fun to watch Monk and Fox blow up in this game like they did together back in the day.

People are gonna rave about Fox, rightfully so, but Monk has 30 pts in half the shots of Fox. Just outstanding stuff

This was the series I was looking most forward to going in this year, but can you imagine 6-7 games like this one? Utter insanity.

If Mike Brown isn't coach of the year, it's a joke. Just an amazing job with a young team.

Draymond is trying so hard to get a tech tonight. He’s gets away with so much just because his baseline level of shenanigans is so high.
