3 things. Sac is playing as well as they have been all year. It's smart to bait Draymond. Draymond, Klay and Jordan are having a fairly ineffective series so far.
All I have heard from GSW leading into the payoffs is how much they love and respect Mike Brown, all the while Brown is an Apex predator dead set on destroying them
I will believe in the kings once they eliminate the Warriors, but weve seen this move too many times. Teams will go
up then blow the series
Man they stealing ESPN money. No enthusiasm at all. Boring af. Hey ESPN… These types are obsolete! We want the swagg flavor and energy
Who would have thought that a team with 4 rings and the best shooter in NBA history, would be rattled by a team that has missed the postseason for the past 17 years. Be rattled by a team that Warriors fans and players have consistently made fun of throughout the years.
See y'all at the Golden 2 Center tomorrow night! 🔦🟣👑🦁🏀
I wanna know the process of how exactly Luke helped fox
Its not cheat code. They play like young GSW did 😀
the refs are screwing Warriors in 'favor' of Kings – jj redick. then all the narratives are created in the media. cause there are so games in the playoffs the reporters dont pay attention to the games. just the result. basic premiss for such devellopments
Thank you for having a fair assessment and conversation… I can't watch First Take when you say you haven't watched the Kings and having guests on that show that admit the same thing.
This kings team is exactly like the 2015 GSW team. They are young , they move fast, and much like GS did in the half court using Draymond at the top of the key or free throw line to facilitate the offense, if you actually pay attention you can see Mike Brown having Sabonis do the exact same thing in the half court set.
The nut riding in this segment is wild
I hate to say it but pretty much but don't worry about it you going to get these two wins at home and we're going to smash
Mike Brown knows the Warriors inside an out but GS 4-2
Cheat code: Ankle lock and hit shots.
GS has no answers for this.
Age is catching up to those big 3s ,
The conversations should be Kerr’s lack of ability to make adjustments. Mike Brown appears to be the better coach
thx media. u finally recognize the most obvious which is that coach of the year has the cheat code to beat the warriors which is a head scratcher when you and almost everyone else predicts a warrior win. also, the kings are a better version of the warriors. the warriors need draymond to facilitate and loon as a center. the kings have both of those roles rolled up into 1 guy, sebonis. finally, mb by playing fast pretty much takes out centers who cant run. sebonis is athletic enough to run with the guards but loon is always trailing which makes him useless in transition
Finally some media members talking about the gameplay and how the kings are beating the warriors. Not just fixating about the draymond situation or the refs in general. Every media member said “kings won’t be ready for the physicality of the playoffs” and now they complaining the kings are being too physical and the refs are at fault for letting the game be physical….kings in 5
Mike Brown knows the ins and outs, there's nothing the warriors can do to surprise him but the warriors don't have that same advantage.
The Kings are making Warriors uncomfortable? Ye they boutta eliminate them, I guess you can call it "uncomfortable" if you want to to bue suuuuper nice.
Kings are faster than GS and clearly outplaying and hustling harder. Since they have something to prove. GS not the same team from last year they just have faces that have been there. GS been out of sync majority of all season . Kings bench is outplaying GS and Jordan Poole not the same Poole from last year. expectations got put on him. Warriors defense isn't all that either without certain key pieces
Cheat Code: Hold Steph, Klay, and anyone else off ball; Sabonis-Do 'dirty' work on anyone under the basket, especially Draymond Green and try to get him in trouble. Ie, ejected and or suspended.
Yep. Cheat Code alright.
Imagine if phil jacksons assistant coach left the bulls and went to coach the magic with penny and shaq lol . The warriors have been hit with every inch of adversity lol . Good luck champs but this isn’t looking too pretty
Waiting around for curry and green to hit 35 is not a valid cheatcode.
Listening to Marc Spears is a great reminder of why we need more sports reporters chiming in. All the context of D’Aaron Fox’s development, Mike Brown’s coaching Journey is awesome. I’m actually hearing something new that adds levels to what I’m watching. Hats off, great pod.
What is AMAZING to me that no one has really pointed out is…THE KINGS ARE AN EXACT "YOUNGER VERSION" OF WHAT THE WARRIORS WERE WHEN THEY STARTED WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS 7 YEARS AGO!! High powered offense, who run you to death all day long, with a good/great defense when they are willing. A very CONFIDENT group of players with a little SWAG about themselves. Also, they are well coached by Mike Brown who learned a whole lot from being on the Warrior bench for years. THE WARRIORS ARE PRETTY MUCH LOOKING AT THEIR YOUNGER SELVES IN THE KINGS!! Carry On…
Facts the overall pace n development coach Mike Brown has instilled in the kings is really amazing .
The refs are calling everything in favor of the kings. They are grabbing Steph off the ball and holding every time. The refs are literally dictating the game. How do they let the kings play physical and call everything on GS. The kings were in the bonus in the 3 qtr with 10:24 left. That meant the refs called 5 fouls on GS in less than 1:36.
Truth is its a big man old school basketball vs 3 point era and gsw has no big they ignore the fans on getting a center and now paying the price
I am a soccer fan but I know my basketball since when NBA is that physical it look like the ref is helping the king.
The cheat code was revealed in 2016 when the Cavs did nothing but Hold, Hip Check, Hug, Pull, Grab, and do everything in their power to not let Steph move off the ball. It worked then because the refs allowed it and it's working again because the refs are allowing it. Off ball fouls don't exist for Steph.
Windy all I heard from you about how everyone wants to play the Kings. Kings defense sucks they have no chance to beat the warriors. That just showed me you have no idea because you didn't watch a Kings game all Year. Kings best road team defense in clutch time is good. They play with a ton of pace and when they play like that they won't hold a team to 90 points. The Kings are a #3 seed for a reason you don't fluke yourself way to a 3 seed.
Fox mid range game is money…
"Beat up the warriors on the glass" used a clip a 3:42 to illustrate what Sabonis did all game. He's not even focused on positioning, boxing out or rebounding. Hes focused on pushing Wiggins to make sure he's unable to get to the rim.
Finally honest commentary
Coach Mike Brown, using everything he can to help his team win.. using his inside knowledge of draymond.. plus as Spears said it,, the warriors are old.. and very slow,, and Coach Brown has his guy's running the warriors on both ends of the court.. and the warriors are frustrated..
All you hear are Warrior's fan crying the last few days….making every excuses they possibly can. Wasn't it the Warriors that wanted to play the unexperience Kings…Are they regretting?

I mean I kind of agree. But also, let's not reduce this to him knowing the warriors. The kings have been doing this all year to most teams. This is just the product of Mike Brown being a great coach.
The kings have enough to win this series that being said the warriors aren’t out of it yet not by a long shot game three will be very telling !
