In round one of the NBA playoffs, the three-seeded Kings host the sixth-seeded Golden State Warriors. Tip-off is set for 5:30 p.m. Saturday, April 15, at the Golden 1 Center.
Topics discussed include:
- Will Andrew Wiggins be in the starting lineup with a minutes restriction?
- Did the Warriors not put as much effort into the regular season or were the struggles legit?
- The Warriors’ bench last year had guys who had something to prove
- When the Warriors finished the last 10 games with an 8-2 record, they finished with a “sense of urgency.”
- Do the Kings have an advantage with their younger, fresher legs?
- How experience will help the Golden State Warriors win the series
- “I believe they’ll win the series because they’re experienced. Last year, I had some questions as they entered the postseason because they were basically a .500 team from January to April. But once the postseason started, I wouldn’t call it flipping a switch, it was more a matter of, you saw the guys level of focus go up, a level of concentration go up. There was a look about them in the postseason that said this is our territory.”
