Can the CHAMPS Dim the Beam? Official Warriors (#6) vs. Kings (#3) 1st Round Series Thread

[<<TheStandard>>]

They got a wide open shot. That's on Wiggins to hit that. He literally could not be more wide open.

This will always be my biggest beef with the modern NBA. We tend to ignore the human element in favor of math. Sure, it's a great look but Wiggins was was 1-7 from 3 up to that point.....first game back. Playing percentages of him being a 40% three point shooter doesn't fly with me here. At some point, if they're not going in, I don't want that guy to keep shooting. Not that the hot hand theory is valid but I do think there's a human element to your psyche when you miss that many.

You can clearly tell by the replies in this thread who has and hasn't watched the Sacramento Kings this season.

I have to remind myself of that everytime I see a post. Plus this is the coli, hot takes without information.

Damn that was the game to have right there. Ain't no way Sabonis gone play that damn garbage again

At the same time, how many times have we seen guys struggle and then finally hit a big one when the team really needs it.

Make or miss league at the end of the day

I also don't know why people are surprised the Kings came back and won. Did y'all not see the double overtime game where they came back and beat the Clippers in the 2nd highest scoring game in NBA history?

Regular season? No.

yal see my guy malik right yal seen trey too right

lets stop the revisionist history like dude wasn't on CRACK when he was in charlotte everyone's always been rooting for him

So he just left Charlotte and cleaned up his act, huh? Looked great in LA and Sactown. Maybe it’s a Cali effect, right?

Or maybe he will… it was clear dubs wanted Sabonis to shoot the ball

Season started today.. Nothing else matter..

Those were open shots; it's not like he's taking contested jumpers. He's gotta take them and make them. He shyt the bed. Ain't no two ways about it.

I won’t excuse his second half. For as good as he played in the first he was bad in the second. But nobody played well in the second half outside of Dray, Loon and Steph

 

[Primetime]

Yea, I expect all the West series + Cavs/Knicks to be lit.

Nothing about this NBA season gives me any assurances about any team in round 1 outside of the top 3 East teams (MIL, BOS, PHI) advancing

 

[cobra]

there was something very spooky about seeing a team go shot for shot with warriors without blinking

I think the warriors are done

yes lmao

did you miss the whole lakers chapter with him? that min contract was his last bet at staying in the league and even lakers fans will tell you how he made it a point to step up on and off the court

but i mean that's if you care and this isn't about you being sensitive about something else that'd be crazy right
