When the commentator talked about it during the Warriors vs Kings game that the Warriors need 12 points and win the game, that's when I understood it. I am stupid to think that they will use the regular season rankings to identify the winner.
So, the Warriors were defeated so I guess there's no problem in Group C anymore. It was actually a sad defeat because they tried very hard to make a 17-point lead and I really thought they could win the game. But Payton was hurt, CP3 was also hurt, and those two will be their key to winning the game. Sure, Wiggins is hot but still, when it comes to defense, Payton was the one who stopped Fox from attacking the paint.
It was a nice rotation from Steve Kerr, he did well despite all those problems. But, they still lost and I think the Warriors need more time to catch up on chemistry with Draymond Green.
I was surprised to see the Warriors though losing the game, I thought they have it in the bag when they build a huge lead in the second quarter, never bother to watch. But when I check the score the Kings was able to make that huge comeback and win the game. Fox can't be stop by Klay, if I'm not mistaken he was the first one to handle Fox, but we all know how fast he is. Draymond is back in the game, but still, not enough, and yes I think there could be chemistry issues right now with the Warriors but they have the mentality of a champion, so I think they can figure it out.
I think everyone watching the game was surprised to see the Warriors lose. That one one hell of a comeback by the Kings, who seem to have the Warriors number these days. The Warriors are just getting old and the Kings exploit their age and lack of size with youth, running, and Sabonis downright bullying them in the paint.
