(3)Kings versus (6)Warriors Pre-Playoff Series Thread

[kingsboi]

Coming up with the beam idea for a markerter/pr person is the equivalent of winning a championship. Career defining achievement. Genius. Or shall I say, brilliant.

posters on this very forum were throwing out ideas about the Kings selling beam shortly after Huerter even mentioned it with merchandise, it was only a matter of time before the artists started getting to the drawing board and shirts/hats etc. started to fly off the shelves

RIP to ITT Tech, I went there too. Did you learn anything from attending?

I was a afraid someone was gonna call my bluff. Sorry to satirize your alma mater - perhaps should have picked a different example.

I heard though it was actually a good school for getting tech oriented education that could get you work! Hope it worked out for you!

not in the slightest bit but that's okay, Biden helped me out with the loans and I am forever grateful

All these so-called "experts" are writing off the Kings against the Warriors due to experience. But, Phoenix just went to the NBA Finals in the 20-21 season with a roster full of inexperienced playoff players, except for Chris Paul. They also went through the previous year's experience laden Champs in the First round (the Lakers) to get to the Finals that season.

I still believe that the Kings can make that deep run in the playoffs this year too. They just have to believe in themselves, which I think they do.

GO KINGS!!!

the experts are writing the T-Pups against the Lakers too.

you are a good dude sir. I hope whatever put you on edge has passed.

Thank you sactown, I sincerely appreciate that. Indeed - I have found some peace lately. We live in a troubled world. Pray for the children.

Thanks for the reminder. I tuned in--it's an entertaining game.

Ahhh to be an NBA pundit - where you can be continually wrong and never face any consequences.

This is great, the less pressure on us the better.

Got more respect than the Clippers!

Ha! Not a single one of them picked Atlanta over Miami. If the TWolves hadn't clamped up down the stretch all 17 of ESPN's experts would have been 0-2 after the first day of the play-ins.

 

[joemama]

Minny was missing Gobert, McDaniels, and Naz Reid and still had the game nearly in-hand on the road.

Not a very impressive showing by the fakers. The coach, Ham has Rui, D'Lo, Vanderbuilt, Beasley, etc yet still doesn't get hardly anythingout of 'em.

It looks like refs got the msg about giving them all the whistles too.

More I think about I think Memphis is more physical than Denver and would prefer to see them beat the fakers.

Just think, they sold their future for a billion years into the future to lock up a 7 seed.

Jim Jackson the former King was on the call for the Atl/Miami game. He said Fox is a star, but not a mega, super star.

he is not yet. You have to shine in the play-offs to be at that level.

Former Kings coach Garry St. Jean says matchup with Warriors is the best first round series

 

[joemama]

I agree.
It's more of how he came off, like most rn in writing off the Kings.

 

[Reyes134]

Stupid question...saw the spread and being underdogs, does anyone know if fanduel or draftkings takes bets for kings vs warriors if you are in California?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Just think, they sold their future for a billion years into the future to lock up a 7 seed.

Most of the damage on that front had already been done. They improved far more than they logically should have been able to do based on the assets they had and they have Vanderbilt cheap for another year, can re-sign Rui if they want, so they may actually have more valuable trade chips than they did heading into the deadline. It's all a bit frustrating to me but at the end of the day they probably get bounced by Memphis and AD and LeBron aren't getting younger.

We 'bout to shock the world...in FOUR games...

 

[Dime Dropper]

Haven't seen this much buzz on this forum in FOREVER!

Awesome season, unfortunately this is the matchup I wanted the least. I won't be too much of a negative Nancy, but I will be shocked if we advance. I'm just going to try to enjoy it.

Wish I could have made it to Sacramento for this. It has been my dream to make it there for our return to the playoffs. Hopefully we continue our upwards trend and maybe I can make it next year.

LIGHT THE BEAM!!!

I'm right there with you...If you've read my previous comments, you will know that, while I support my team 100% and ALWAYS want them to win over anything else, I, too, won't be surprised if we don't advance. Just the simple fact that we're all still here talking about the freaking playoffs, as opposed to what our odds are of selecting the top 10-15 draft prospects in June, is a major win for me, and has already made me fully content with this season. Whatever happens from this point on is just going to be that extra icing on the cake.

It has been my dream, as well, to make it to Sacramento for our first home game in the new arena. I even said, when the arena was being built, that this game is one that I will not miss under any circumstance whatsoever. I just didn't realize, at that time, that I would have to empty out every inch of every pocket available to me in order to make it happen for GAME 1 OF ROUND 1. I won't mind doing it, though, for any and all NBA Finals games in a few months...

The flip side of the matchup is you know it's gonna light up NorCal in a way that's been badly missing for a while. Sac is prob gonna be hyped in a way I can't imagine if we were playing New Orleans

I will draft him next year for sure now haha

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Let's do this, KINGS!!!



Kings in 5 would be PERFECT, now that I've had a chance to look at the schedule. That would, quite literally, be the GREATEST birthday present I could ever ask for...

 

[ockingsfan]

Is it just me or does it seem like an eternity waiting for Game 1 !?!?

Not just you. Saturday can’t come soon enough.

Winning in 6 would be lovely, although very difficult. Basically, i wanna avoid game 7 heartbreak in our building because I’m still not over the one from 2002. No thanks
