    So you want the ball to be out when it crosses the plane?

    Dame averages more points against the Warriors than any team in the league. Let's be factual.

    Is a long drought. It’s why it’s important to have good management in place. Hopefully, Cronin proves me to be better than the wink and a nod guy that I portray him as.

    Did you notice no one left after the game? They just stood there basking in the win. You usually only do that when you win the championship.

    I think he was talking about the playoffs. What are those facts? He has 1-12 record against them.

    He obviously never played in the parks growing up! That’s basketball 101 there.

    Shouldn’t the #3 seed beat a #6 though?

    Not when the 6th seed is the defending champion Warriors.

    He did not specify playoffs, but it appears his career best scoring splits do include playoff games. I don't see playoff splits by teams, and frankly, they probably wouldn't be great for comparison sake, but with a quick glance of the game logs, I think it's safe to say he's been less productive against a couple other teams in the playoffs (Pelicans or Spurs) than he has been against the Warriors.

    You also brought up the win/loss record, which is a team measurement, not an individual one. As you know, one player, playing with a significantly better supporting cast, would have a major advantage when it comes to wins/losses. Festus Ezeli has a better head to head record against Dame, but I don't think it he was more successful in those series.

    It's their first playoff win in 2 decades. I think they're entitled to enjoy it.

    I still got nightmares from the Pelicans series in 2018.

    In their 1st post season game on 17 years against the covid defending Champs. Not bad.

    At least the Kings won't get swept by the #6 seed like our local team did.... against a team that hadn't won a playoff series.

    Not when the #6 seed has GARY PAYTON JR!!!!

    Looks like Len was +10 in the Kings win - good to see he can still steal their sunshine.

    I know but man 17 years w/o being in the playoffs and beating the defending world champs at full strength is nice for Sac Town. Their arena was rocking!
