 game today. Warriors beat the Kings last year in game seven of that first round series. It's a game seven type environment again tonight in Sacramento. Do we have confidence Chandler that the Kings can figure it out. Again in this scenario one game sure anything can happen. If I'm betting man I'm betting going State Warriors tonight. They're just the big brother of the Kings. They've always had their number. I think the minute that Kevin Herter and Malik Monk went down for this team. That is a huge hole. It's a huge void. I'd love to see Fox come out early tonight. Makes Jeff Curry work on the defensive end. It's a bonus. Dominate although he has not played great against the Warriors but those two guys have to take 20-plus shots tonight. Like this is this is it for them. They need this game and again because if you lose this game then it gets real dicey in that next round but but I like the Warriors. Kings going to sleep. This is what we wanted to. We wanted to change the Lakers and the Warriors to get 7-8. This is no diss to the Sacramento Kings. I like the team that they've built. Again it's two guys in the NBA. I don't bet against when it's for the money. Steph Curry for the money he's putting them to sleep. You like the Warriors more than the Lakers. I like Steph Curry. Oh okay that's a different. Are we looking ahead? I'm just saying like would you rather bet it Warriors tonight to win or would you rather bet the Lakers tonight to win. If they played each other. No that game or that game which one do you what do you think's more of a lock. I think the Warriors game is more. Whoa. Okay Warriors are more why do we just trust them more. It just listen that that Pelicans Lakers game got a lot of star power in it. Got a lot of star power in it. New Orleans is playing really good basketball. I just think the Lakers are the type of team that they get methodical with how they go about games with game planning with strategy LeBron James is gonna go out there. He's gonna manage the game. He's gonna manage the pace. He's gonna manage the flow. It's gonna go his way. It's gonna be tilted his way. So I think the other game is gonna be a little bit more of a lopsided way. And you know it's interesting you were saying whoever wins that first game like congrats you're gonna get the different nuggets. It's the opposite on this. It's like okay if we can win this game then go get the next game. We have a real shot at actually going and beating the Oklahoma City Thunder with a better draw. So this this yeah it's almost like we said Laker Nation wants them to sit. That's not gonna happen but it is a more favorable matchup to get the 8C and the West is here than the 7th. That's what I'm saying. Sometimes you don't want to be great. It's a better position for these two teams almost to go and go balls to the wall and win these next two games and then get the Thunder rather than rest and sit. Lakers cannot do that. No I don't think they can either. Let's just take a road a trip down memory lane because this seems like a bit of a rivalry building. Stuff had 50 in game seven of the series last year and of course there was the Dremont stomp on Sabonis and his chest in game two. We got up there. Does this have enough to be considered a rivalry and I was in the building when Dremont came back in that one and he got a standing ovation which is everything that's wrong with the world but that being said Chandler I will say Sacramento fan base is awesome. Yeah they're going to be loud. They're going to be rowdy. They're going to try to light the beam tonight and they're not going to let Dremont Green forget about that moment. Every time touch the ball they are going to boo him and it's going to be a crazy atmosphere. They're so close in location but the Warriors pack a different punch like the Lakers. There's going to be so many Warriors fans also in there that love Steph Curry and love Clay Thompson. So how's the drive to Sacramento from here? It's not from here. From here? Like seven. It's about pulling up. Seven hours maybe. I live a life of seven hours. I don't live that type of life. I know and a lot of it's just kind of boring so you can just cruise. And also anytime Dremont Green's on the floor there's going to be some sort of physical yeah there's going to be some sort of environment that's going to could possibly be hostile especially when there's already been excited for these games man. I think Lou really wants to go to the night. I'm excited. It's been a long time since we've seen so many great matchups. So many great matchups making the greatest players in the world earn it. This is exciting. I'm excited to see these games. And think about the people that didn't like the plan initially like if they didn't like LeBron. These two teams would already said whoever created the play and should get fired. These two teams would already just be home. They wouldn't even have a chance at going to get hated the idea. No it's it's it's it's brilliant. It's better than anything we could have asked for. And also on this bonus thing he's never had a triple double against Dremont. So how do we get over the that huh. Do we get over that. Like I said he's got to be aggressive. He's got to do the same thing Anthony Davis. He's got to come out. It's one game and then you to go to the next one. But he's got to dominate again. He's never played great again. Dremont Green's a great defender. Right. He's physical. He's mobile. He's one of those rare guys that can move his feet and stay with guards and he can also be physical with a strong so bonus like this. So I just think like I said it's got to be him and Fox especially with those two wings out they have to do the majority of the scoring. I take 20 shots. Take 25 shots. It doesn't matter. You're going to live and die with those two guys tonight. This is going to be fantastic. Also Dremont said it too didn't he said he hates the playing game. But then he also loves it. That's everything created. That was actually a really good Dremont quote. Um the youngest. If you're in it you love it. If you're not in it you're like why is there the playing tournament right. Like that's probably one of those things that's that's not relevant to you until you need it. I think you love it if you're the one in two seats too because it gives you a couple more extra days of rest. I mean those guys all have like a week off. It works for everybody. The Lakers made it to the Western Conference finals out of the playing tournament right. He made it to the NBA part out of the playing tournament. So clearly there's something here that works. Especially when it's so deep and everyone the 10th seed what was their record this year. Everyone's above 500. Everyone's above 500. They're the 10th seed. Yeah. They deserve a crack at it. They got this right. Um let's talk young dudes on the Warriors. They've been a huge part of what they've what they have done on the court. What's the impact you've seen. I mean a massive impact and they're they're blending their vets and their youth better than they have ever under Steve Kerr and I think John the Kominga, Trace Jackson, Davis, Brandon Pizemski. They love all three of those players and Kominga we've seen develop into that second option on any given night. He he has qualities that makes him a star caliber player. Um and he missed some time late in the season with a knee injury. Um he's on his way back. He's looking better to close the year. They need him to step up tonight and for the rest of the playoffs. He's also extension eligible Michelle. So seeing how he how that goes in the summertime after his third season will be interesting as well. That's exciting for everyone involved. Uh look I just I want to look ahead because I think this is the gazillion dollar question as well. If the Warriors lose this thing. Is this the last time we see Clay, Steph, and Draymond playing together? I think so. I think so. I can see Clay. I think he's played well enough this year to go and get a huge bag from a team like Orlando Magic or someone like that. So we're buying that. I am and I think he deserves it. I think he's got one more crackhead to go and be the guy and I think with everything that's happened going say this year for them to basically the the 10 seed and go and get knocked off by their little brother the Sacramento Kings. I think this would be their final game together. This this big three. These three guys are Hall of Fame group. Um they've done a lot together. They've created memories. They were a championship group. I love to see guys start and finish their careers in one place that they they've done so many great things for. Something just feels like there's time for a change in in uh Golden State. It just it just feels like it you know when you're around this game for so long you can tell when the energy is shifting and it feels like that's the that's the vibe um going into this playoff run that we're probably seeing the last days of this three together. It's basically Clay's gonna be gone. That makes me a little bit sad. That's why he's taking everybody on the boat. Steph always shows up. That is not we're not worried about that. But is there a chance we get an old school splash brother's performance which would mean and here we go. Uh Steph and Clay both have to score 25 or more which right now is at plus three eighty nine. With those odds I would take it. I think Steph definitely is gonna go over 25 and Clay's had these games where again he has hot early he can make you know seven eight nine ten three. So at plus three eighty nine I would definitely take this little part like that one. Clay Coiley got worked back into the star ladder. We never discussed it. Yeah. The whole come off the bench thing was a blip on the screen. Yeah. And he's had a few of those are like twenty seven points seems to be his wheelhouse. Dream on by the way first player to record a double double without attempting a field goal or a free throw. That's crazy. That is a weird stat. So here we go. Eight or more assists. That's magic. Yeah. That's that's crazy. The subject's not having a free throw. That's also magic and weird. Yeah. There's a couple weird moments in the end of this one. If he scores eight or more and eight rebounds assists and rebounds plus two eighty six. I liked it. Yeah. Yeah. Just look at Lou right down. He's going to take that one. Just assisting rebounds. I like just crazy as we were talking about a player who the points are the hardest thing for him to get. Yeah. He's going to get the rebounds. He's going to get the assist the swing swings. He's playing with the best shooters ever. His average are kind of up this year though. Points. I'm just saying if you told me all right or dream on eight eight and eight which one's he not going to get. I would probably say points. Yeah. I think that would be okay. He's on the floor for thirty plus minutes. He's getting eight assists and eight rebounds. He's the ball a lot. He's crash he's crashing the glass. It's the points that are going to be the tricky part. I buy that one as well. Kings. We've talked a little bit Chandler. You've mentioned the huge injuries by the way of the last month this season. Is there anything on Malik Monk that you can share. Malik Monk is going to be out well into April and May. There's I mean he's not going to return anywhere in this play in turn ever. He's out for a season. That's what you're saying. So I mean the Kings are preparing to move forward here. If they do make it in the playoffs for at least the first round through the first round without Malik Monk. That's just such a bummer and they do have guys to step up the do of the you know Keegan Murray. They have Harrison Martin these guys have stepped up but yeah Malik Monk provides just that spark to energy the outside shooting everything and it's going to take a collective effort. You know Davion Mitchell he's been better. He's been making some shots outside but that's a big holder of place and then on top of that Kevin Herter your best shooter he's out to. Those are those are I think too tall of a task to overcome. That's two big ones. Let's go ahead and predict this bad boy. The odds on Fandall Sportsbook right now have the Warriors two and a half point favorites and they were split. The series was split when the Kings won both their games. It was by a single point which is interesting to me. Lou who wins Golden State Golden State the beam I'm sorry Sacramento I don't I don't feel like that beam is going to be lit. You know and you guys should be on edge and y'all should be there and be very supportive of your team. You know this is the team that just took you out seven games the last time we were in this position. So you know the proof is in the pudding right there. I still like going to stay. Yeah. It's going to be a great game. It's going to but I can see even Golden State pulling away with this you know double digit. I think they're going to come out. Dang double digits. I think they're going to come out ready to play and I think yeah this is what we wanted right this is what everybody wanted. A little Wild Wings. I want to be entertained. I want to see a triple overtime thriller. I wouldn't mind that. Warriors and wonders when pretty big especially on the West Coast watching sports so much easier out here. Yeah. Take a triple overtime. Don't mind it.
