    Small ball sucks really; you got the entire team SG kind of size what to play all, yes they got pts, def, and assist but then what’s backfired is turnover rate, 2nd Chance pt being scored, and easily got Faskbreak opponent team. You can score as much you want BUT your opponent can score the same on you easily.

    Great win for the kings, looking forward to dubs attempting an answer in game 2, this is the NorCal rivalry the fans are waiting for!

    At 1:25 klay could have definitely passed to curry😂😂he was determined to get that shot off but he made it tho so it’s cool but if he would have missed that would’ve been a terrible shot😭😭

    Draymond, curry and wiggins might triple team fox in game 2. Fox looks scary like prime 2018 lebron.
