The kings haven't had a answer for Steph curry either 😂
How come no1 points out that they were only down 1? So didn't need a 3, could have drove to basket, mid jumper, something. Didn't need to shoot a 3.
Kendrick Perkins: "The last person who will ever doubt Steph Curry again is me…but I'm doubting him again."
🤦🏾🤦🏾
Big Perk hates Warriors. He's still hurting from how Celtics lost
Imagine being so much of a warriors hater that you use a teams Fanbase and the crowds rowdiness against a team that has been a four time champion. Whatever Steph said to Kendrick Perkins on the sideline had to be so evil for him to still be hating this hard.
I would love a Kings vs. Knicks Finals just to hear how loud their arenas are. But I have doubts Kings or Warriors beating the Lakers. I beg them to prove me wrong.
Warriors got lucky in Game 4 like the 2002 Lakers did when Vlade Divac assisted to Robert Horry for the wide-open three at the top of the key. Kings can still win the series.
why do they always choose the women incapable of making good points lol. so many better options
Huge Sacramento and swipa fan but SAS does make some valid points as much as I hate to admit it
SAS so basically saying if you had to bett your rent money on one game in a Game 7 who would you bett on? Me personally Warriors. If kings wanna advance they have to finish them off in a Game 6
They didn't not loose by 1 they lost by 5 . Perks you'll be shocked again. You were wrong before and you're going to be wrong again.
SAS is right sometimes Fox gotta be more aggressive
Sabonis is the difference in rest of this series. He has been neutralized by Dray. Almost a liability at times. He needs to make his presence felt the next few games. Dude is an all star. This is all Star territory now!
If people expect Kings to win Game 5 assuming this goes 7, doesn't this put the Kings' in the catbird seat? I wouldn't count them out winning Game 6 or 7.
The “ experience “ didnt show a bit when curry calls a timeout with none left
Draymond needs to guard fox put Wiggins on Barnes hide Klay on someone and curry on huerter
Media like ESPN wants Golden state to win. It won’t happen. Get over it. Kings got this.
Everyone talks about how Lakers can win it all. How about talking about how to BEAT them? I think Steph needs to go 35 PPG for Warriors to beat them.
Warriors knows D'Angelo's game. They had him before and dumped him for Wiggins who's turned out way better for them. Focus locking up Reaves and Hachimura.
monk had 32 game 1 – 14/14 from the line. He averages 14 points a game. Chances of that happening again are slim. It was a one possession game.
Lakers aren't going to sign Kyrie because they need to re-sign Reaves and Hachimura. No money for Kyrie even if they let DLo walk for nothing. Better off keeping them over Kyrie.
I get what Stephen is sayin when he said if he were Dearon he woulda kept the ball like yea he made the right play but it could definitely come down to the same situation at least 2 more times in this series eventually he gone have to say F this double team and just go get the clutch bucket
Perk don’t like the Warriors so it don’t matter what they do lol
I think right now it's still a toss up. Whoever wins game 5 will win the series imo.
Both teams could argue they could of won all 4 games so far tbh
Perk is always against the warriors and I like that because his negative predictions and wishes never happen to the dubs 😂
Perk on crack rock with all these if for the kings if draymond made all 7 layup he missed would of been a blow out foh
I keep telling ppl, GS barely got it done at home. For a team that only plays well at home and almost lost, that’s tell us everything we need to know about how this series might end. Kings in 6.
Please Michael Irvin come back, please!!!!!
Why do people have such a big issue with Perk "hating" on the Warriors? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no matter how bad it may be.
Warriors bout to bang everybody
The Kings and the Warriors both have to win on the road in order to win the series both could've won down the stretch, warriors in gm 1 and kings in gm 3. Kings do have control as far as home field advantage bt that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to win especially against an experience team like the Warriors that's where SAS coming from bt Perkins just don't like the Warriors 😂 this dude just can't hide it. You can go back to 2016 finals Warriors at home gm 7 come on nah Perk stop holding on to that home field 😂 u look desperate
Perkins doesn't know sh!+….all of his analysis has been wrong since the day he got in front of the camera. ESPN please get him off the air.
Can ESPN fire everybody except Stephen, a smith and Tim Legler?
Sac has tremendous pressure, that basket for the roles players will shrink, but DeAaron will explode.. It’s going to be a great series..
Perk picking the Kings is a given! This guy is a certified Warriors hater so it shouldn’t come as a surprise at all. Even if the Warriors are playing against the worst team in the league, Perk will still make a case as to why the Warriors will lose!
The key of warriors winning this series is finding a way to slow down fox! He literally torched them ! When he drives and gets to that mid-range it’s automatic!
