Kings Playoff Standings Watch!!!
- Thread starter Rain man
- Start date
It's amazing that the Kings are this good and have a realistic shot at going deep into the playoffs.
On the other hand we could get swpt in the first round, but that would still be a successful year.
Let's relax, beat the suns tomorrow and then maybe try and get our guys some rest. Id argue a game or two of rest would probably better than burning minutes for seeding, but I'm pretty confomfortable on my armchair. What do I know?

Kings Playoff Tracker
Note that teams are listed in order of the Kings' magic number, which is affected by tiebreakers, so the order may be slightly different than the order in the actual standings. Eliminated teams will be removed from the tracker after one day.
Please note that the best conference win% tiebreaker may be pre-empted by division standings, because division winners get the second tiebreaker over non-division winners.

DEN (49-24) 16, 9 games remaining, TB 1-1, 1 to play (winner gets TB)

SAC (43-29) --, 10 games remaining
PHX (38-34) 6, 10 games remaining, TB 1-2 (best division win% gets TB if tied)

Big game against PHX tomorrow, a win goes a long way towards locking up a top three seed (!!)
Both the Thunder and the Lakers are in danger of being eliminated from the Kings' race tomorrow. However, since either the Thunder or the Lakers have to win, even a victory over the Suns will not guarantee us a play-in game just yet.

Yeah, I think 1-2-3 are probably sticking the same now with our W vs PHX. Hard to see us catching MEM with how good they're playing and if Fox ends up missing any games for us. Looks like 4-6 are fighting for seeding and 7-12 fighting for positioning. UTA at 12 is still somehow only 1.5 from the 7 seed. Those are the 3 tiers in the West imo
Honestly, all the seeding is still up in the air, which is insane. 2.5 games separate the 4 seed LAC and 10 seed OKC. Pretty much everyone still has 8-9 games left. If anyone goes on a 2-3 game losing streak, they could find themselves fighting in the play-in slot rather than a playoff slot.
Kings put themselves in such a great position. We SHOULD be in a spot where we can start resting some guys and dialing back minutes. I think you still spend the next week going for the 2 slot, but we should hopefully have the 3 seed locked in the last few games of the season. That last Kings-Nuggets game might be real real ugly with end of benchers vs end of benchers.
