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

[Don Homer]

with wiggins back he was never going to play a lot

sure his minutes would shrink. But he can't even play wiggins position. the issue is he's a deer in headlghts every time he steps onto the court. no boxouts no rebounding, no attention.

if he's looking unplayable in the 1st round, its bad news for the playoffs

They weren't doubling from the jump. Draymond hedged the screen right when Curry made a play on the ball.

In the end it was great defense by guys with experience. And still if Barnes hits the shot we're taking one of the best playoff shots in recent memory.

NO THIS WAS THE LOOK AS HE CROSSED HALF COURT...

JUST GO RIGHT TO DRAY
AND PASS THE BALL TO A ROLLING
BARNES WHO WILL BE GUARDED BY STEPH...

IF LOONEY STEPS UP
HE DROPS IT OFF TO SABONIS
FOR THE DUNK.

INSTEAD HE PULLED THE BALL
BACK OUT...

AT THIS POINT DRAY IS
SAGGING OFF BARNES,
SITTING IN THE LANE WAITING FOR HIM.

HE DRIVES, GETS STUCK
AND PASSES IT WITH 2 SECONDS LEFT

Yes.

Barnes should have cut to the basket. All that wide open space, And you only need 2

Dudes on Twiitter are mean

Watching this why did he go soo far in back court to burn half the time left before getting into anything..

 

[The Connoisseurs]

Warriors played good defence on fox and forced the pass, in hindsight Barnes should’ve pumped fake, once he does that he has a split second to make a winning decision.

Amazing defense from Dray on that last possession. Man did everything right.

He stood on the elbow where Fox always wants to go and pull up.

All season long that's where Fox hits his clutch buckets. Draymond literally parks himself there. Very smart.

 

[BlueHeffner]

Good D by steph and Draymond

Wow thats crazy

Dudes on Twiitter are mean

ok so this is gonna be a trend huh lmaoooo??

 

[skyrunner1]

And just like the Suns, burnout is the consequence.

It would be fine if Steph was 25, but he's 35 now. This all could've been avoided if the organization acquired adequate depth so they didn't need to rely this heavily on him.

No matter who they get, they not gonna find another steph.. He gonna play big minutes in big games.. Regular season rotations are not the same as the real season.. They want to win you gonna lean on your superstars.

 

[Osmosis]

They shouldn't have called a timeout after Steph missed the floater. Fox was pushing the ball, Steph was on the ground, and the Kings had numbers. If they missed they could have fouled and had a chance to send it to overtime if the Warriors make their free throws.

 

[SCORCH]

Locked him up.

Taking the clock down to zero when you're trailing

Yeah it was dumb as hell to throw the ball all the way to the backcourt as that was wasting seconds off. Also they fell right into GS's trap. I rewatched the play back and Steph was overplaying Fox's right hand to force him back Draymond's way. It caused Fox to lose the ball initially as he still tried to force his way to the right hand regardless. It seemed like GS wanted Barnes to be the one to shoot.

 

[Saint1]

Monk was like the Good Times "damn gif"
