Need to get Keon back in for HB asap.

Refs suck

Sabonis is having another shocker

[Lost in LA]

Don't get within 3 feet of SGA, it's an automatic foul

[codydaze]

He's had it going tonight so we live by it or die by it but I really don't like that pull from Fox. Get downhill and into the paint. Especially in the bonus.

[BoogieTime]

To go with Fox's inefficient season is his bad, non replicative clutch play..

[codydaze]

How is SGA allowed to clear space with his elbows like that? How is that not an offensive foul.

[LightTheBeam]

How can I even be mad about this effort. Kings played great, refs took over with shai in the 2nd half. Fox gets banged up all game and can't get any calls so turns to chucking 3s.

I **** hate the nba sometimes

That 3rd Q collapse is terrible

Kings are unable to make adjustments afterwards

Settling too many 3 pt attempts

Fox was getting beaten up if he went to the rim, and Sabonis and Barnes did zero

Elephant in the room.

Yes, Sabonis is having a solid season and deserved all-star and all-nba spots, but he couldn't develop a semi-reliable midrange thus good coaches find ways to stop him after this GSW series. Once he catches the ball just throw him 2-3 bodies near the basket so he can no more bully his way to the basket, a guaranteed 4+ turnovers game. It's also on the coaching staff, though. They've seen it enough to figure out a counter move - to no avail.

This is spot on.

I will say though, what I don't like is how much contact Domas is taking on the swipe downs. Are the refs suggesting 3 players all get ball when they swipe down once he dribbles? He is turning the ball over so much more now teams are doing it. Get ready for it to magnify in the PI/POs.
