So excited
That’s the Kobe Bryant mentality Kawhi take notes
I think Monk will step up tomorrow and have another big game in this series. We really need Sabonis to step up go and get that tenacity back.
Bro u said it all correct my man. The entire team gotta stand up its put up or go home time. I would not like to see a 1st round exit I want a kings and lakers series that would be grand. Warriors made respect yo but get out the way and let Sac get 1 ya heard GO SACRA!!! GOOD job as usual Matt stay up 1 luv.
I'm gonna show my naivete here, and I don't care.
In a perfect world, any person that has an injury gets to rest and heal. That's, IMO, a fact. But in this world, in sports, in basketball, in playoffs, in the case of the best player/scorer of the team in an astoundingly breathtaking series, it's not viable. So I can just stare in awe and admire the determination and drive and the loyalty to his team that Fox is displaying. And yes, basketball is a physical activity, so his finger will probably get hit, and it's just part of the game. I don't have a problem with it.
But here's where my naivete comes in: people saying it is OBVIOUS that his finger would/should be a legitimate TARGET for the opposing team. People saying that since the finger is "in the play", that it is fair game. I am sorry, but WHAT? How is this so widely accepted? And yes, I know that historically it is just how it has worked, but what I'm saying is it is STILL effed up. In a basketball game, basketball skills and basketball luck and basketball rules should be what determine the game. And as far as I'm aware, trying to physically hurt another human being is not part of that. Causing physical pain, exploiting an injury, risking someone's long-term health is not part of that.
A team should attempt to win a basketball game through basketball skills. It should be a huge enough a handicap that the opposing team's player's basketball skills are impeded by a physical injury. Are you all saying that is not enough? That you need to injure said player further to win in a BASKETBALL SKILL competition?
So yes, I know I am naive by bringing this up/ But I just really, REALLY wish basketball was about basketball first and foremost. And hurting/assaulting another person's injury should have no part in it. And I will die on this hill, even if it is not a player on a team I support that is facing this.
Not going to lie I do 100% believe Draymond Green intentionally poked Keegan Murray in the eye!!! When you see the replay he looks right at Murray in the face!!!! 100% a dirty player!!!
I keep thinking about when Keon stepped in for Webb in 03.. Totally different scenario but he filled in so well! Still lost the series but hopefully we pull this one out!
We have no chance of winning regardless unless we start playing Holmes , Metu , and Davis over Sabonis and huerter who have been exposed as completely overrated this series and just riding the coat tails of fox
I hurt my ankle the other day and I didn’t hardly notice it when it happened but that night and next day and still today I can barely walk so don’t get mad if he actually hurt
He should take that stupid thing off , no reason to wear that
Fox knows the series is over because we have a fraud strawman sabonis that took over because brown is a moron and doesn’t play Holmes and Metu
There is no way that minor finger injury is a risk of getting worse even if it broke in half it’s nothing to worry about , I bet his finger is totally fine and they just saying it’s hurt because fox is trying to make an excuse for why they losing
Definitely admit I was wrong so far too about Sabonis. Definitely thought He'd do better.
Still possible 3 games left. Sabonis can completely change this narrative still. He had a pretty good Game 2.
Sabonis has to be ready for Draymond to start crying and using any tactic He can to get Sabonis to not play at his best.
Kings are due for A blowout. I have A feeling that if Mike Brown played Terrence Davis tomorrow that Terrance would explode offensively.
Id be surprised if Kings lose tomorrow. Warriors are definitely better then I thought but I just can't see them winning a Game in Sacramento unless that Fox injury is significant.
If Fox can't go Kings have zero chance to win in Golden State. They MIGHT still win tomorrow.
Kings are due for an explosion. One of those Games where everyone gets hot to not even have to need Fox's heroics.
Kings win BIG tomorrow. Wouldn't at all be surprised if it's a double digit lead final score. Kings are due for an explosion.
ngl, ive seen poole use the ball as a weapon a few times in games 3 and 4
Warriors in 6. Wiggins is back to playoff form. He's going for 27pts 14rebs 5assists with 5 3s in game 5.
Flying out to watch this one, should be a lot of fun! I expect a response from the Kings at Golden 1
So "I'm keeping my eyes on certain veterans on the team " SO………
Need to play aggressive and get the Warriors in foul trouble early
KaWhine Leonard: “Hold my beer 🍺 “
10 years ago on 4/29/13. The NBA rejected the proposal to move the Kings to Seattle. The Kings should have a 10 year anniversary tribute to that whole thing
