Klay replacements fire as Warriors set unofficial record in Sacramento
After a dismal shooting performance against the L.A. Clippers on Saturday, the Golden State Warriors bounced back in the best possible way with a barrage of threes that led them to a 122-112 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.
Plenty of takeaways from the game on this episode, including lengthy discussion on the likes of Buddy Hield, De’Anthony Melton, Jonathan Kuminga and a whole lot more from the 10-point win.

Thank you for the breakdown, mate! Good analysis. Go Ws!!
That starting lineup was just not it. Looney and Draymond… Demar was too comfortable shooting over Looney, and when Kegan got the switch onto Looney, he went right past him for an easy layup.
I still think the warriors need to package 3-4 players plus picks for a true Big.
The way Melton is playing, he's going to get a lot of time at the 2. Podz ofcourse will get alot of time at the 2 or 1(when Steph is resting).
If Kerr is realistically only going to use 8-9 guys in regular season rotations, means that Moody and Waters will get some DNP's…or if they play, they'll get like 6-10mins.. we have a big logjam at that 2-3 spot, and thats not even factoring Wiggins return, yet 😂
Klay replacement is Buddy Hield the rest are just the cherry on top
Starting line up Curry, Melton, Kumminga, TJD, Dre. Buddy, Wiggs, Pods first off bench! Moody takes GP2 minutes we be tough! Pods passing is becoming elite critical for motion offense!
moody should b playing no ifs and buts he looks like the better player than gp2 its js tht simple nd i love gp
Steph-Melt-Buddy-JK-DG Splash Quintet
Not so difficult to play waters. He should replace anyone in the lineup who is having an off night such as pods in the first half last night.
This game is essentially the real look at what that 2022 guard heavy line up was in terms of offensive power. I think we should give props to Dunleavy and Kerr for pushing for this offensive style and getting the right guys to actually achieve and execute this. Hats Off!
Kuminga no hesitation 3's, Buddy shooting stroke so pure, Melton was putting on a CLINIC for steady reliable offense and shooting, Moody with his Baseline Drives and playmaking. TJD a little better than looney for the first time guarding Sabonis (both concerning and optimistic)
absolutely crazy and explosive scoring from the whole team! But like you said Otto porter; Who is that guy for us right now. By the looks of it, may not seem like it but it might be Kyle Anderson, at least especially on the defensive end. And instead of the OTTOmattic 3 point shooting, Kyle is instead a brilliant playmaker, allowing the OTHER three point shooters to thrive. Does that move you? It does move me.
All that being said, our paint defense was not great overall today. Specially Quinton Post, He looked a little nervous out there. But lets keep watching before we come to a conclusion. Just can't help but be positive right now!
I see moody as the back up 3 and getting consistent minutes
