    I was too initially but maybe this is actually what the league wants. Allows Sac to really excite their fanbase, especially those Bay Area expats and Sac natvies who bandwagoned to the warriors the last few years. Warriors wont lose fans for not advancing but Sac can gain many more

    Poster is Just reminding folks that a center like sengun can do well in playoffs something most folks deem impossible since he isn't the ideal center.

    fell asleep early in the 4th quarter…very happy the Kings won

    I see Draymond was up to his usual antics again

    getting ejected on one of his typical dirty plays and then hyping up the crowd as the Warriors are down 4

    teammates probably looking around like

    So glad the b**** ass Warriors lost. Combine that with an Astros win and a great night.

    Kings fans are one of the most (if not THE most) loyal fanbases in the NBA. They've gone through so many disappointments and still stick with the team enthusiastically.

    I knew a guy who was a Kansas City Kings fan and he still went to OKC or Indy to watch the Kings once in a while.

    browsing the GS reddit page for the 1st time ever seeing how they’re handling the loss, and they have the nerve, the unmitigated gall, to cry that the refs are against them

    you’ve gotta be kidding me

    with the way Draymond plays defense, he should be fouling out almost every single playoff game…the Zaza rules never applied to Klay

    welcome to the rest of the NBA where most teams aren’t given carte blanche to manhandle the opposition

    Kings will have to bring their A-game for games 3 and 4

    this shooting performance likely gets them blown out the arena at Chase Center

    Warriors were 11-30 on the road, and 33-8 at home…they had only beaten 3 playoff teams on the road all season: the Wolves, Cavs, and Kings in the 2nd to last game of the season where Sacramento had already packed things up so I don’t really count that one

    I did give the Warriors the benefit of the doubt due to their history and think they might flip a switch in the postseason, but it’s looking like

    they look old, tired, and slow on the road…Sacramento looks like a younger, more athletic version of them

    Most of Warriors fans are bandwagoners though. Once Curry retires, they'll go back to cheering for the Lakers or some other bullshit franchise.

    Can't believe Durant could join that team after his friend and teammate Adams had stinging testicle pain for weeks on end because of Draymond.

    Not trying to pile on the warriors hate, but that has to be the worst road record from a playoff team that I have ever seen. I mean I knew they were bad, but 30 losses on the road should automatically disqualify you from the playoffs

    If you read the okc thunder Reddit page. Draymond was recruiting Durant during 2016 wcf when the “comeback” happened

    the only WC playoff teams that were at least .500 on the road were Sacramento at 25-16 and the Clippers at 21-20

    Warriors had a +8 point differential at home, and a -5 point differential on the road this season

    Maybe it is true but half of the NBA is like that and some guys who only see the superficialities of basketball and stardom.

    Yeah, it's human nature I guess -- just like politics, people see what their biases most comfortably see. The Bay Area is largely focused on Sabonis somehow being a dirty foot grabber (?) as if he has a reputation like Draymond's, LOL.

    A few keeping it real and calling out the Warriors for tolerating the antics for all these years (including cold-cocking a teammate, we shouldn't forget). What a jackass Draymond is. I would bet the management lets him walk, and good luck to his next team. I'd predict more meltdowns as this dude ages, not fewer.
