Sabonis had a nothing burger going for 47 straight minutes - then grabbed the most crucial rebound of the game - a rebound Draymond was too tired to make it down court for - essentially put the game away for Sacramento

The Suns need an explosive guy off the bench like Monk. I'm not sure if they have one. I was hoping Ross would be that player.

I think they are going to have to do it by committee. Ross can get hot though.

More than likely it will have to be by committee. Ross hasn't been consistent.

I really enjoyed watching that. Found myself rooting for the Kings and their loyal, long-suffering fans.

That was a very entertaining win by the Kings. Kind of surprised Russ Smith didn't post. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen him here in a few weeks.

Russ went on vacation for a month. He should be back soon.
He’s been in the Philippines he gets back Monday

Suns are my Kryptonite!
Watching that SAC game, it almost felt like SAC stole the game from GS. I will be surprised if SAC wins game two.
The Kings were the most clutch team this year, statistically. I know the franchise doesn't have the experience but a lot of the players do have playoff or big game experience. They've come to play and wont make an easy out for anyone. I can see them making the WCF.
SAC definitely has upper tier starters at all positions, then you add a guy like Monk to give your team a boost and you’ve got a solid team. He did do what the rest of the team was afraid to do, attack. Monk was fearless yesterday.

I was also impressed with De'Aaron Fox. He has progressed as a leader... the Kings leader.

I went and saw PHX versus Washington this year. I was struck how similar both teams are, WASH and SAC. Definitely not the same results.

Hip-hop artist E-40 says racial bias was the reason he was kicked out of the arena.

Nah, they took it. That run they made at the end of the 3rd was what put them in position to win. Fourth qtr? Every dagger Curry and Klay made they answered. Not a fluke.
It's going to be a great series. Six or seven games. I don't know who wins.

I was impressed with their resolve in the face of championship experience and shot-making from the Curry/Klay. When they get on a roll like that, especially at the end of games, normally young teams will press and buckle under the pressure. Fox did a little missing those two FTs in the last 2 minutes, but other than that they were pretty flawless in the face of the Warriors 3 point barrage.

Man, I hope our KD doesn’t break as easily as the Lakers AD.

AD is back in but he is definitely favoring that shoulder.

AD seems to be OK. Lakers are playing pretty good against Memphis. End of third, Lakers up by 6 points.
Grizz are a more talented Wolves. They take some dumb shots but they have more hustle for those extra shot attempts. I’d they were more mature and could control the game they’d be winning this hands down.
