    We already saw that matchup 4 times this decade. It's old hat. I really hope it's some other teams

    Kings lost the series the moment they didn't step on the Warriors throats when Draymond was out.

    I just can't get over how bad their help defense is when they double Curry off the pnr. It is constantly abused time and time and time again.

    I can't recall a defensive scheme which is so badly utilised, yet gone to so often.

    It seems they score every single time Curry is able to slip the pass to the roller in the paint.

    no doubt, Kings' confidence had long been destroyed in the 3rd quarter of last game...it wasn't destroyed by GSW, it's destroyed by refs' TIMELY whistles or those marvelous non-calls smh...why couldn't this league just thrown away the tedious screenplay?

    Like the Webber/Adelman Kings of old, history repeats itself.

    Barf, I hope the Suns/Nuggets destroy either of them.

    God, I can't believe I stayed up last night to watch that trash. Yelp, series is over - just have to hope that the Grizzlies come back to beat the Lakers which I think they can. I do NOT want to watch Lakers and Warriors - I would rather go down a slide of razor blades and into a pool of rubbing alcohol before I watch that drivel.

    If you saw that tony brothers was the ref and still stayed up to watch, that’s on you. There was no scenario where the kings were winning yesterday

    As much as I hate the Warriors and what they and the league did to us during the Harden years, I’m just enjoying watching their amazing system they have that only works with the core of Curry/Klay/Green.

    Can’t believe how well the trio of Curry/Green/Klay are STILL doing. They have been in the league for 10+ years now and they have a shot of winning 5 rings in the past 10 years this year which is crazy.

    I’m just going to cherish this as much as possible. We will never have a trio like this ever again, especially with shooters like Klay and Curry.

    Great players come and go, but I don’t think we’ll ever see a shooter like Klay and Curry ever again.

    And the crazy thing is, after Klay’s injuries, I didn’t think he’d come back to the NBA or be anywhere as close to where he is now. Yes he’s not 100% and not as mobile as before his Achilles and stuff, but crazy how he’s still able to do what he can effectively.

    We all know this league is run by the refs and what story the NBA wants to write, so whatever happens, happens. But just gotta enjoy this system and the splash bros until their time is done.

    Curry has had only one season shooting below 40% from 3 and was about 39.2%.

    Heard a fact regarding NBA trios on some podcast this week that was kinda crazy to think about.

    Curry/Klay/Draymond now have 97 playoff wins as a trio.

    But it would still take them another two full title runs to overtake Duncan/Parker/Ginobili with 126.

    Haha, Kevon Looney with the elbow to fracture the face of Sabonis just like he broke Fox's hand.

    It would be crazy if Wiggins or someone grabbed Ja Morant's kneecap, or if Harden got his eye gouged out while attempting a shot on a no call by Draymond and then had to play a whole game with a bloody Walking Dead zombie eye and scored 30 points with one eye and a staging a huge comeback while choking like a choker

    Keegan Murray is so fundamentally sound that it's ridiculous. The Not-So-Big Fundamental. Any holes in his game?
