Correct, and 1 other

And considering there’s only like 8 people that post in this forum
Lol... 38% of this forum hated the deal for the Kings.

I do remember most of r/nba Reddit trashing the Kings for the trade.

And 12% praised the kings for it lol. The other 50% thought it was fair trade I guess lol

And yeah, perhaps it is the outside noise I recall more even

Kings made a choice and decided roll with Fox and deal Halliburton. I’d wager they would still be successful if they were swapped considering Halliburton is better in nearly every stastical category outside of PPG. Def worked out for them though. Happy for the Kings

They needed a big man that complements fox like sabonis. They wouldn’t be the team they are today with Halliburton instead of sabonis

Never said they would. I said if Halliburton was swapped with Fox

Halliburton + Sabonis would have similar success as Fox + Sabonis.

Btw, Sabonis has been one of the most underrated players in the league for like 3-4 seasons.

Perhaps, but we will never know

And yes, sabonis has been for years now. It’s why I thought it was such a great move by the kings to acquire him. His footwork is ?‍??

Dillon Brooks was hilarious with the post game trolling of Lebron

How's Ja looking rest of playoffs? I understand he'll probably play again, but is that hand/wrist going to be an on going problem?

It was already an issue heading into the playoffs, he re injured it/made it worse on the fall in game 1

I wouldn’t count on him being back till maybe game 4 or 5, and even then it is his shooting hand that is fucked up

That said, Grizz can still win this series despite being down Ja, Adams, and Clarke

It's a shame for the Clippers that PG and Kawaii haven't been able to stay healthy over the last few years. I think they could have had a title if they just stayed healthy.

Clippers got close without the two of them last night.

Is a shame, but is kinda the risk they took by signing them both.

Warriors tie the series because Harrison Barnes can't shoot. So far its a home team series. If that would keep it would favor the Kings. Kings do certainly show their inexperience at times.

Sixers sweep, Nuggets got one more. Celtics should wrap up Atlanta in G5.

I would imagine Suns wrap up Clippers in G5 as well.

Cavs look dead in the water vs Knicks.

Grizzlies and Bucks are in trouble, though can right ships with wins tonight.

I thoughts the Kings really needed to win that game.

I know GS sucks on the road, but they're lethal at home. They'll most likely win game 6, and if this goes to 7, I think I'd bet on the 4-time champs. They just have the composure and experience to not fold, whereas the Kings have definitely been making some playoff rookie moves.

Those were my thoughts after the game... now that I know Fox is injured and may not play in game 5... This could easily be GS in 6.

If Fox is out Game 5, Warriors in 6.

Kings needed to steal one on the road.

Still can
Yeah but they needed that 3-1 cushion with 2 home games. I'd still like to see them win. Maybe others disagree but i enjoyed that year the finals didn't feature LeBron or the Warriors. Although i'm tired of the Bucks at this point too.
