2019 Playoff Race--It's the Kings Division Record

[kb02]

Do you have a projection for the Spurs at this point?

Haven't done the same for the Spurs. May do so, time permitting.

The Nuggets chose the wrong time to go on a slump. Spurs up big in the first quarter.

Kings need to go 14 -3 to catch the Spurs. That's .823 ball, which would end the season at 47 -35. Assumption is the Spurs play .600 ball the rest of the way.

The Kings are 33 -32, which is .507 ball. They would need to outperform their record by 65% to get to 47 -35. That's pretty much a two deviation jump from their current record. I don't see it. Need the Spurs or another team to regress, play below .500 ball the rest of the way.

You can't simply look at records to determine future wins. March is by far the easiest part of the King's schedule. They should win at a higher percentage. Just like games are filled with runs by both teams, the season is often the same. Back in the 98/99 season, the Kings finished the season by winning 10 of their last 12 games to make it into the playoffs as the 8th seed. No one could have predicted that happening.

The difference is the Kings do not control their own destiny, regardless.

Jazz: 13 of their next 16 are against teams below .500. If you’re hoping to catch them, good luck.

Clips: 13 games left. 8 at home and 8 against teams below .500. Plus the tiebreaker

Spurs: 14 games left: 7 with team below .500 and 8 games at home.

Kings: 16’games left and 8 games with teams below .500.

Couple that with their conference W-L record against the Western Conference teams above .500

Too me, if the Kings drop both on the upcoming B2B Celts, Sixers, their done.

They still have to play the Jazz in Utah, Blazers in Portland. Spurs in San Antonio and Home and Away Houston.

Phoenix is going to beat Utah tonight. And then Minnesota will beat them tomorrow. We will win in Boston. That will put us within striking distance.
