Man, Kings are playing some good basketball against the Champs. 👏 They are really making the Warriors sweat! They never let up; they keep going and going. They play together and keep their cool. Whatever happens, they have much to be proud of. 👏
I'm tired of hearing the kings are a young team. Yes they're young, but at some point you have to be able to learn to win no matter what age you are. You think the warriors just started winning when they got older? No, they won when they were also young
We be a 1st round exit with Donavan Mitchell stop it 😂😂😂 go Knicks
Kings didn’t lose the warriors won
The Cavs can most likely do a 3-1 comeback because they have homecourt advantage while the Warriors without homecourt is a tough hill to climb even now its a best of 3 series without homecourt and only 1 day of rest it will really test them
Donovan Mitchell has shown us who he is for the past few seasons. Why are people still clamoring for him? Jalen Brunson was the best signing this off-season and in a VERY LONG time. Charles Barkley is 💯! Why? Because you signed an all star without giving up a bunch of pieces and unloading a ton of money! The ROI is huge and you have room to build! The Knicks should be applauded for that and the executives should receive some recognition. They are trashed for every move they make: why not celebrate when they do something good?
The Knicks have so much flexibility now to do whatever they want. The young players showed they can play, so teams are going to want that. Plus they still have all those draft picks. If they want to trade Julius Randle they can. Leon Rose has showed he can draft talent late in the first round with Quickley/Grimes both being 25th pick & key rotation players. Only up from here for the Knicks.
Mike Wilbon said Knicks wouldn’t sweep both home games. He was unfortunately incorrect.
RJ, Mitchell Robinson, Obi, and 4 firsts is to much for Donovan Mitchell.
RJ, Obi and 3 firsts is fine
😂Players been doing this for years nothing new some don’t wanna talk after losing nbd 🤦🏾♂️
you do know that Harrison barns has the highest field goal percentage in the last 5 seconds of any basketball player other than micheal jordan. FACTS since 1996. 49.8%
So stephen A still wanted the Knicks to trade for Donovan?? Does he not understand what he’s watching? The Knicks would have had NO DEPTH, no picks(so no Josh Hart trade), and who knows how Brunson and Donovan would have meshed since they both need the ball.
Who cares if the Julius was mad or not.
Stephen A quit on this team now he wants to hop on the bandwagon and what the fucks up with him inventing some drama with Randle. He supported the team while he was on the bench.
That Mitchell trade would’ve put the franchise in the same situation we were in after the Melo trade.. thank god we have Leon rose building this team getting great players and at a great value
I think it’ll be cool for the Knicks to win because I’m a fan of RJ and so happy for Jalen Brunson. However I also want the Knicks to lose because we going to be in for the greatest rant in SAS career
DON'T BE FRAGILE, Y'ALL
Warriors in 6 or 7 0-2 to 2-2 lol 😅let’s go warriors
The two possessions at the end of the game where the Kings rushed shots when it wasn’t needed, to me, is where the Kings lost the game.
Stephan a he let the guys who helped win do the media. He isn’t scared to talk. He’s one of our leaders cmon man
Randle BENCHED WE GET THE DUB
I can't believe this idiot won't shut up about the Mitchell trade when Brunson has outplayed him all series and the Knicks are up 3-1. Admit when you are wrong bozo! 🤡
There are NO professional bball players who are mentally weak. Impossible. You can't get there and that be true. Period.
Fox is not outscoring Curry they literally putting up the same number but Curry more efficient
How big a moron is this bald headed MF? Bro was doubled by Dray and Steph and he wanted him to jack up a wack off balance jumper? SMH
F D-Mitch I don’t care about him
they both lost a game at the last (missed) shot, lets not get too crazy
Stephen A is an idiot 😂😂 we wasn’t trading four potential nba starters for this guy lol Deuce had the clamps on him 😂😂
Kawhi Leonard injured and still the best player in the playoffs
Ouch..poor harrison barnes. Guy had an open look, i think thats the better option than trying to shoot when doubled. Heck, if he did take the shot himself and missed we would be hearing why he should have passed it
Stephen A is ridiculous and makes no sense…. if Spider would have been a knick, that blocks BRUNSON …. why would you want to do that … BRUNSON gets better every season, and he cooked Spider last year and he's cooking him again … In BRUNSON we TRUST 💪🏾💪🏾
Double teaming Fox at the end was beautiful. He had no floater to go to
BING BONG
Stephen A. is a lifelong diehard fan of his hometown New York Knicks except for the 2 months in the winter of 2012. When the whole country was losing their sanity over Linsanity, Stephen A. was actively rooting for his Knicks to fail. And that had nothing to do with basketball.
You knocks fans are disgusting you still haven’t won shut
SAS won't let go of Donovan Mitchell.. I bet the DM novelty has worn out for Cavs fans.
I'm glad Julius skipped the media because they never gave RJ Barrett credit for still talking to them during his slump.
I am disappointed with Julius for not celebrating the win with his team mates. But as for the media… phuchem!!
SAS wants to pick the Kings because it’ll give him the out to pick the Suns and get on there bang wagon. Don’t let him fool yall
Cavs got no bench because of Ainge. So glad Rose told Ainge to go F himself. Where the Cavs going to get a bench by game 5?? Ainge wanted to cripple the team that got DM particularly if it was the Knicks. Cavs made a lateral move giving up their picks and young talent. You telling me Agbaji couldn't help the Cavs right now?
Mr. SAS the fact of the matter is as impressive as Fox has been, he is not outscoring Steph. Both have the same PPG and both are box office. Taking that in to consideration this series is the best on by far 😜
I can’t wait for the knicks to lose
SAS is dead wrong on Donovan, if they traded all their depth for Donovan, they won't even be a playoff team.
Stephen A Smith is such a fake fan, Knicks were better off keeping the young players and not trading their entire depth for Mitchell who isn’t much better than Brunson. (Brunson maybe better)
Fox is better than Ja by a lot imo
Play Cavs next I DARE YOU👀🤭
This is the worst version of the warriors that are in the playoffs. If no one is going to capitalize this opportunity, they gonna get bigger next year and run through the league.
"The starting point of all achievement is desire." *Napoleon Hill
The fix is in, Fox is ‘injured’
Just realized memphis is for some reason a western conference team still? Crazy that in the first round these teams are travelling across the country for away games while the warriors and kings travel like 90 miles.
