We need this series to go 7. The basketball and the drama is too fun. And if the Warriors go out, I want to see as much Curry as possible.

The day that Stephen Curry retires will be a sad day for the NBA. Fun player to watch and casually root for. I would have loved being a Warriors fan. So many cool eras.

Steph/Klay/Draymond. Run TMC.

Forget where I saw it but there’s been like 2 years ever where both the Warriors and Kings have made the playoffs? Both teams have reeeeally gone thru droughts. Everybody knows the Kings finally made the playoffs after missing every year since 2007. But the Warriors went to the playoffs once from 1995 to 2012 and even before that those Mullins teams weren’t a slam dunk to make the playoffs.

I think it’s the first time all 4 California teams have been in.

Fox is good

Mitchell is not

I feel that explains the runs so far today

I didn’t realize Sabonis was this strong. He’s really moving Looney with those shoulder bumps.

Kings just have a lot more shotmakers on the floor in a typical stint. Looney just doesn’t give them enough on either end.

Looney moves the ball. He’s a good connector. Has a bunch of assist off the short roll.

Looney was really important for them in the finals last year

Sometimes the small lineup has too hard a time rebounding

Tangentially, Murray has been quite good today

Looney def not bad it’s just a lot harder on the offense when you’re giving up a shotmaker and he doesn’t give you a lot of those easy wins a true 5 gives you on D.

Really hoping to see a nice stint from JP here without Steph.

Sabonis is an amazing defender. Just outstanding.

Yeah I think Looney “fixed” lots of their problems in the finals because he’s a unique unicorn more than tall guys rebound gud

Poole only passes when a shot has become impossible

Warriors have 4 guards out there with Looney

Then he messes up the close out, giving up an easy hoop

Was just going to post this. His D drives me crazy. So much nonsense.

Fox better be ready for a 16 minute shift here
