Warriors vs Kings |GM-21|

Having watched every Lakers game, honestly when you are not watching highlights his passing isn't THAT accurate. Really what makes it nice is his sheer strength.

Paradox

That goes beyond 2 for 1 in my eyes.

Athletic Alchemy

Klay shot that to make sure they got the last shot.

Nathan Glanzer

Really good point on passing on how accuracy is really important. It's an underrated skill to be able to do that. LeBron is super good at making accurate passes. It can mean the difference between a shot going in, or twirling out.

He was also offered a contract prior to his final year with the Warriors, but he declined it thinking he could demand more at the end of the season. Had he accepted, the Warriors would have never been able to sign KD.

Jones' activity level was much better in this game but one solid game doesn't make up for 3 weeks of poor play. Gotta keep in mind that the Kings were doubling the ball handler all night on screens so Jones had a lot more space to operate. Most teams will not defend us like this. Vucevic will be a huge test for Jones. He needs to come out with energy and intensity or else he's gonna get destroyed.

Many thanks to the several people who responded to my question about Harrison Barnes. I now understand why he was let go, and, yes, he does seem to a better, more evolved player now.

I’m try let the atmosphere do its thing in those moments. Got to get up there 1 last time for sure.

Athletic Alchemy

Gotta say, love the fact that you cut to in game sound for big plays. I cant believe how often it's absent, to hear the full sound of the crowd and the moment.. it's 70% of the thrill. too many commentators kill the in game volume and yak over the top of it when I really wanted to hear roaracle going wild. I was lucky enough to fall in love with the place, it's the end of an era, for sure.

That didn't work BUT that reminded me that I can go to the share button and click on the link and it took me to YouTube so I can watch it! Happy af now been having that problem me for month now. Appreciate the response Alch!

He really doesn’t get enough credit... Steph is amazing and so much easier to like. But KD is a freak.

Athletic Alchemy

Weird... can you hold down the YouTube logo and send it to the YouTube app?

Athletic Alchemy

Anyone know how to get these videos to work on mobile. I gotta wait till I'm home to watch it and that sucks. It used to work now they just don't finish playing. Start off and get like 15 seconds in and won't go any further. Works good for months. Did the normal troubleshoot stuff but not luck. Anyone else had this problem?

KendrickTheCreative

Alch, I was counting the times last night when the offense was stopped dead, no one was getting open and we just dumped it to KD with 5-10 seconds left and said go. In the playoffs that will be huge, and in this league he may be the best such option that exists. I think people just add up his numbers sometimes and forget that many of the shots he puts up are created under pressure with little or no help. "the Offense didn't free anything up, KD go do what u do".

Russ

It does make you wonder what he would look like if he had been drafted to a bad team and handed the keys.

Athletic Alchemy

Completely agree the context of the Ls matter.

Athletic Alchemy

True

Athletic Alchemy

Interesting to see how much run he gets at full strength.. beginning of the year he didn’t really play at all.

Athletic Alchemy

The one footer is nice when he’s got a foot in the paint. He’s launched a couple from like 18-20 ft that were like “ok Klay calm down “ lol

Athletic Alchemy

It is a underreported thing. The numbers kinda lie. Cause he will make one, but pass up 5.

Athletic Alchemy

Saw Draymond’s speech, didn’t catch Quinn. no doubt he sees things like KD.

Athletic Alchemy

Did you catch the post game interview? Really showed how timid he is.

Athletic Alchemy

we needed space to sign KD

$$ He is being paid more than he is worth compared to our Allstars, and he's much better now than before.

Russ

Not that he would want back, but wouldn't it be nice to have Harrison Barnes back. Why oh why was he let go?

The problem is iggy... He needs to start shooting three

Ryosuke Kimura

Great take on the scouting on Quinn. They will start playing for him to stop at 9 ft. in the key and hit the jumper, his go to along with the 3. Happy for him, don't know if you noticed a couple games ago when Dray was getting loud with the team during a huddle Quinn just stood up and walked away. Nothing probably but being KD's friend I wonder. I'm with you that Jones needs to get meaner in the key. If someone blocks him out for a board he just freezes. Go watch Rodman or Barkley tapes, try to make yourself impossible to block out. Or watch McKinnie in practice for that matter.

Russ

Call me a pessimistic but I still don't have any faith DJ, after a couple of good games he just gonna go back to his normal disappointing self. The FO needs to focus on retaining Loon and Bell this Off Season. I'd consider trading DJ for a young wing preferably only with a consistent 3 ball.

SunniDaZambi

Nice two game win streak... I also liked seeing KD talk to the youngsters out there, setting them straight and gving them words of encouragement like a leader should... Another thing, Klay's lil one foot off the bouncer fader is down right nasty... This dude has added something to his game each yr and has been showing so much emotion this yr... Go Dubs...

Nsikan Usen

Great game. Glad for Jones to have shown out. And i just love seeing the Kings coming into their own!

Spence

These games with steph curry and draymond out has helped the younger players growth. I really like Quinn cook he's come a long way!

Was so refreshing to watch a great game. Feel like it’s been a while since we’ve had one where both teams are firing on all cylinders

Connor H

Exciting, but I can't lie, I thought we'd lose this when I saw that chuck from the logo by Klay. The desire to win has definitely been there for the last 2 games, and it's been fun (even if we'd lost them, IMO).

killa coming into his prime be some growing pains for the new tools in the shed, but he's gonna be pressing himself into that top 10 tier by the end of next season
