  1. They’re better without draymond it forces us to cover more space with their other guys out there. They put younger faster guys that crash the boards and hustle more than draymond.

  2. Guys just seem to lackadaisical when dribbling the ball and rebounding which lead to a lot of unnecessary turnovers and second chance points. Move with a purpose and like someone is sneaking up behind you.

  3. It's not that we're not getting looks, it's that we're not making them. All series. Tonight, the Warriors just didn't turn the ball over and they rebounded.

  4. Domas gotta be stronger. He gets rebounds but offensively he has a lot room to improve especially finishing around the basket, hence looney and draymond are guarding him one on one impacting his assist numbers as well since the warriors guards are not sending double teams and sticking with murray and huerter.

  5. Murray and Huerter has disappeared the entire series….sabonis can't dominate the paint on offense… No one can make shots…

  6. Man no one could hit a open shot tonight

    Fox is not our best 3pt shooter, but he seems to be the only guy who could hit them…

  7. Murray is SO HESITANT to shoot the ball> he just SHOOT ASAP passed to him..almost all the Kings players seem CAN NOT JUMP defending and rebounding…Sabonis keeps on dribbling the ball which he should not have done>if he cant shoot just pass the ball.

  8. Sabonis has to take the wide open mid range shots when looney is sagging off him 10 feet. We have to make them pay for that which will open up the driving lanes we had all year.

  9. Murray and Huerter has disappeared the entire series no confidence or physicality….Sabonis can't dominate the paint with his offensive skills… No one can make shots , stop the threes and start hitting basic jump shots…

  10. I think Mike knows exactly what happens in the next three games. His body language shows that they are in trouble. He's on the other side of the court already and knows exactly how this is going to unfold.

  11. I mean Mike said it. It was obvious watching the game: waaaay too many given up offensive boards, and the 3pt % was just awful. That combination is not a recipe for success, here's looking to a W next game!

  12. We simply got whooped tonight. It's expected, since the Warriors are still the defending champions and they have the ability to dominate with poise and ease; but most importantly they have to, since they were down 2-0 and coming home.

    We're still up in the series, and I still believe that we'll get our offensive machine up and running, but that won't be anything if we're giving up rebounds and allowing the Warriors to get second chance points from them out-rebounding us. I also think that we need to go back to spraying threes from the paint; we haven't been spraying threes much throughout the series. We've been giving good ball pressure to the Warriors, but we need to focus on rebounding, especially for the players that can't sink in their shots. If you can't make your shots, make the hockey passes, spray threes, crash the backboard, set screens. If we can do all the little things like that and get out offense running to its full potential, I like our chances and I believe we can get to that point.

  13. its like Draymond Suspension is a blessing indisguise because warriors see theyre good when no Dray in the court, they will try to limit Drays Playing time and more time to their benchs.

  14. Kings gameplan this series was to get Draymond suspended cause the Warriors can’t win without him right🤡

  15. Huge learning experience for this team both short term and long term. I’m confident in Mike Brown getting this team back in check these next 3 games. Hurts when our shots can’t fall but that’s not something we can control sometimes, putting bodies out there and giving effort is something the team can very well control. Still haven’t been thrilled with this warriors team especially tonight. They didn’t beat us, we beat ourselves. Onto game 4!

  16. We just have to make our 3s plain and simple. Or take less 3s and get to the basket.

  17. You mike brown and Sabonis are cheaters. There is a saying "The Cheater Never Wins In The Game"

  18. The Kings didn't dare the dirty and potentially harmful plays they did last game. Hope they lose all their games from now on!

  19. Thank you Kings for pushing for Draymonds suspension. It opened up our game and allowed younger players to get in. Now we’re about to send your purple beam flyin down I-80 back to Sac!!!😂😂😂😂🤣

  20. Umm, how about you NOT shoot 47 threes on the road, like a streetball game (and only make 11)?

    How about playing with creativity and grit in the low-mid post — with no Draymond? Sabonis should have had a 15 assist game. You want to light up the road arena instead of playing the percentage and own strengths.

    This is a learning experience for the COACHING STAFF, but one would think NBA level coaches would already know to stick to taking what’s given you by the opponent.

  21. What did we expect fam? This was a do or die game for the warriors @ home. We will adjust and smoke the dub pack next game – we have the coach of the year for a reason, ADJUSTMENTS.

  22. I don’t like how Mike Brown emphasised physicality again. I hope they’ll stick with physicality and not come up with other dirty tactics. This man knows Draymond Green so well so I hope Green won’t fall to his trap again come Sunday.

  23. Go deep … Make Domas go for the mid range, first. Play fast , make Monk a starter instead of Murray or Huerter. Then, Tora Tora Tora. You'll be Fine. No Mercy, go home and make Fans Proud and Happy.

  24. Mike Brown threw the game. They went small and let them go unpunished. Poole and Curry can't guard Fox or Heurter. That's why they have Wiggins guarding Fox. Why didn't they put Barnes and Heurter at the block? Klay had to guard Barnes. Since they have Wiggins on Fox, Poole or Curry has to guard Heurter and Murray. Post up Huerter. If Murray can't hit a wide open 3 then it's time to bench him in favor of Monk or TD. Kings had the advantage and take care of business.

  25. Now Loon be careful😅.
    They want to be physical next game don't let somebody grab your legs😅
