    Fox has been for years the most underrated player by the NBA intelligentsia. I remember a couple years ago the "Fox for Ben Simmons" rumors were panned as a horrible deal for Philly… Baller!

    Not only that, but Halliburton was preferred over Fox and Fox's contract was a bad contract. Fox has come a long way.




    For G7, may the best team win. Kings beating the Warriors and Lakers would be awesome.

    To be fair Fox was horrible last season and was on a downward/even trajectory for a few seasons. He also was not nearly as good as haliburton this season so ultimately the kings made a huge mistake with the trade, even though they’re having some fun now

    That was wild and it's amazing to see how home court crowds for the Warriors don't feel like they have the same effect on this Kings team as previous play-off teams who did seem affected by it. I could still see Game 7 going either way and don't really believe this momentum will do much either way, Warriors can bounce back and Kings could easily struggle, but so happy this at least went to 7. Lot of respect for the Kings. Only Sabonis needs to step the **** up, what a p***y man, Sengun already better.

    Why? Don’t forget the kings were the healthiest team in the nba and played against the most injured opponents this season (by far). With normal injury variance they’re more of 6-8 seed this season

    Makes sense. Likely why I see the Kings as a less talented team than the Warriors even though they performed so much better this season.

    Golden State is also not a "real" low seed. Only Poole and Looney played over 70 games this season, and for Looney that was @ 24 minutes a game. Curry missed/sat out a ton of games, Wiggins missed over half the season. They were only 4 games behind the Kings amid the West's unprecedented levels of parity this season. I voted Kings in 7 because why not, but I viewed this as a 50/50 series at best.

    The Kings have no chance in game seven with a potential Warriors/Lakers series on the line, unfortunately. I expect a Scott Foster appearance.

    Even though I agree that Haliburton is the better player, I understand their reasoning. Sabonis is a play maker. Fox is a scorer. Haliburton is a play maker. So ideally you want a scorer playing with a play maker.

    But Haliburton is also a competent scorer. He would fit well with Sabonis.

    If Warriors lose, I am putting it squarely on Draymond.

    this is it…game 7 at home, it’s your time to make a statement Sacramento

    I hope the refs don’t screw them like they did us…this needs to be a fair one instead of one that’s rigged before the opening tip, but with the possibility of a Warriors-Lakers Bron vs Steph series in the 2nd round that would bring monster ratings and fan hype, I won’t be holding my breath

    Jon Huerter said in an interview that he has the diet of a 7 year old, like eats hot dogs and plain spaghetti every meal and had never even heard of sushi.
