Drop your predictions for this game!
I dunno about the 6th seed but this will be a good game tonight and I think the Kings can take it. The Warriors are clearly better with Butler but I don’t think they are contenders or anything. Let’s go Kings!
In order for Kings to win tonight Monk needs to get 60 points or Keon starts.
Not expecting a win tonight for the Kings but if they do win, great, not going to stress over stuff out of my control.
I think buddy heild gets 30 😂
I expect them to clap that ass
I've lost hope on the 6th seed. I think warriors get the win 120-116
Having LaRavia back is going to be huge for the defensive end of things. The void without him last game was brutal. He was also starting to knock down threes and we're going to need that vs GSW. Let's hope Warriors have an off shooting night from 3 and our bench lights it up. Hopeful Sabonis is back as well (If it's not too early) and we can have that consistency of matchups with JV and Domas vs having to rely on a small ball lineup. Even if not I feel confident that Kings can bring it defensively. Keon is known to clamp down on Curry, Murray on Butler is a solid matchup and having LaRavia and JV to push that physicality should be a huge difference maker. Last time we saw GSW it was right after All Star Break and the team was still gelling. They haven't faced this fresh brand of Kings Basketball under Doug since. Hoping for the best!
Fuck it, beating OKC in 7 BB!
Warriors got lucky with a super easy schedule after their trade 🤷🏾♂️
We can win but the starting 5 needs to play aggressive and attack the paint.
When the Kings lose tonight they will revert all the back to being Kangz.
Kings ownership isn't good.
TNT, should be a good one I think
Mo rocking the Bernie inauguration jacket nice fit!
Those warriors were going to win this game 4,000 threes by Steph Curry and he turns 37 years old tomorrow as well today as well and they beat them by 26 and seven warriors in double figures kings fought back in second quarter but it wasn't enough.🏀
As a Warriors fan, many said that Steph was done and slowing down. When in actuality, he just wasn't happy. Steph games have always been based on playing with joy.He talks about that more than anything. Bringing Jimmy allowed him to be more free to create and play with joy again. So we will see what that means by the end of the season or playoffs. Great video as well.
dont know where else to say this, so I'll say it here (bc you guys both actually are awesome and i love what you do):
I think the hardest part about being a Kings fan, for me, is not the team, but the fans and the media coverage of the team.
I was at the game on Monday night and left early (im sorry you both had to stay for postgame). The Kings fans behind me spent the entire first half trash talking the team.
The media coverage of the team almost seems schizophrenic to me. When the Kings are losing people act like they should be good every single game (be competetive); but when the kings are winning many ppl say things like, don't get too excited they'll probably start losing again (seems contradictory).
i know im probably oversimplifying; the truth is probably somewhere between my impression of things and everyone else's.
side note: im a sharks fan, too, and i feel like the fanbase is more even-keeled (im aware from following SJ hockey that every team gets blown out sometimes, and every team has at least a few nights where they dominate). the sharks HAVE had their playoff runs, tho, so maybe it makes it easier to ride the rollercoaster.
what do you think? honest opinion. i wont argue, just interested in your take (i want to learn. you both have been around the Kings and the fanbase for longer than i have — i was a casual fan at best for many years).
say whatever you want.
what could possibly go wrong
