DeMar has recently referenced the hole we dug ourselves this season more than once, and he said he hates the mere idea of the "play-in tournament" following those statements with one heck of a clutch performance yet again. You can tell the players are highly aware of how important each and every game is, and the playoff atmosphere in these wins is HUGE for us.
More love from the schedule makers. Thats literally probably the hardest travel context possible in the NBA
For the Kings it is playoff time if they want to keep out of the play in games. 1 game out of the 5th spot is great. But I have to remember we have a ton of games left and we can’t have a long meltdown again. Keep playing one game at a time and never give up as last night means a lot. you win a few games like that is huge in the end.

Dear NBA:
Denver is not close to Sacramento.
The Mile High city is 900 flight miles away.
It’s the equivalent of scheduling the Knicks with the second game of a home-and-away back-to-back in Chicago.
Actually, it’s worse (NY-Chi ~740 flight miles)
And did we mention it’s a >5,000 FEET elevation increase? Hence, “Mile High”

Yah, this is a scheduled L. Low expectations. That’s why we need to beat the GSW ahead of time.

2 games. Lakers swept us and hold the tie breaker.

So Kings as a team had a 112.5 defensive rating which would be around 13 and not the abomination of the last 3 games but not where we were before Fox came back.
I think we can confidently state it came in the 2nd half when Keon got 13 minutes instead of 8.
The problem was those increased minutes came from Carter who got zero minutes in the second half. Hard for a rookie to develop when they have zero minutes.

They're going to make us play the first NBA game in orbit on a back-to-back?

OK, for effs sakes, we get it. Like you don't have to keep repeating the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

This b2b is straight BS. Flying from the west coast , late, lose an hour and you have to play in elevation? I won’t even be mad if I see a kings team that doesn’t show up. I just can’t be mad about it at all. A game where they actually entertain would be a win in my book.

Team win last night. These guys are fun to watch and they have fun playing.
Shoutout to Keegan and Keon for their defense last night. Unreal performance in the second half. Still need more Keon and Keegan together. Cut Kevin out of the rotation at this point.
Shoutout to DDR as well. we don’t win this one without him.
I also don’t think we win this game pre-Doug. I will refer to that time as BDC.

Hahaha! Great catch. Had “Mile High” on the brain and switched Feet to Miles.
But shhh, don’t give Silver any ideas.

Are you expecting the nba to do something that makes sense

The Knicks just had a B2B, Atlanta one night, Brooklyn/NY the next. That's about 800-900 miles. I think the elevation in Denver/Utah is a bigger deal than the flight when doing a B2B to those places from Sacramento.

I'd rather develop Keon than Devin Carter. Where's the problem? Devin Carter will never develop? He's been healthy for like 3 weeks. Maybe we can allow some time for this situation to breathe a bit?
You should check in on your buddy Prosper. He's getting some NBA run this month and still can't hit 3's.

It's the new NBA growth plan. They've already expanded internationally, now they're looking to make a splash in the interplanetary market

New York to Atlanta is about 760 flight miles. It’s around 900 miles driving because of curvy roads and such.
And that’s still at least in the same time zone.
Given what I saw with the former PAC 12 in the ACC/BIG10 (Outside Oregon) I’d say travel is a factor.
chief bromden

Yeah but why is 100 more flight miles such a big difference? That's like 10 more minutes in a plane.
I know there's still a bit of discussion trickling in, but with the new game thread posted, I'll hold to policy and close this one up.
