man, I wanted to bet on the kings making the plays offs and winning the division at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, I can’t sports bet in California.
Interesting stat I looked up:
Kings def. Rating at home: 118.2 (29th in NBA)
Kings def. Rating on road: 113.8 (8th in NBA)
Warriors def. Rating at home: 108.4 (3rd in NBA)
Warriors def rating on road: 118.3 (28th in NBA)
Another intersting stat:
Kings defensive rating at home: 118.2 (29th in NBA)
Kings defensive rating on road: 113.8 (8th in NBA)
It seems most teams get worse on the road, but we get significantly better.
Only reason I wouldn't want to play the Warriors for the first round is because our first home playoff game/series will be infested with Warriors fans. It would really kill the vibe of us not making the playoffs for the last 17 years.
I think we could go with either a SF or PF. I think for PF a PJ Washington or Jermai Grant would be nice. If we put Murray at PF then someone like Cam Johnson or maybe Kyle Kuzma who can play both SF and PF. Picking up someone like Naz Reid could be good as well. I don't know how viable any of...
He will never be a defensive anchor/shot blocker, but he is solid and gives it his all, you can't ask for much more for a guy with his gifts on the offensive end.
Which he was through 3 years of college. In addition, he went from 70% FT shooting, to 88% by his final year, with each year increasing in FT attempts. So, I think he can get there.
