Kings Playoff Standings Watch!!!
- Thread starter Rain man
- Start date
There are 2 teams I really hope the Kings play in the Playoffs: Warriors and Clippers......Kings are particularly energized for them 2.....Dallas and Grizz would be 2nd choices. Chances are good they'll play one of them at least.
Probably Suns get Durant back and they're gonna be the team to beat. The Nuggets always find a way to lose it seems like.

Agreed. I hear the talk about defense and I get it. But this Kings team has the best offensive rating in the history of the game. What team would want to take their chances against that in a 7 game series?
No team would say our offense is ok, so I can't wait to play against the best defense in the history of the NBA.

word is he is being shut down as soon as they are officially eliminated. They won't sit him out of respect to him, he wants to win... tough place to be but it really hasn't seem to have mattered lately. Hopefully they can fire Billups and the new mascot and get a nice piece in draft but they really need to unload some dead weight too.
They have some talent but it’s hard to imagine how they turn it around next year without some lottery help. Sharpe isn’t going to be ready next year but should be better. Have to make a decision on some unrestricted and restricted free agents. The West is full of teams that will maintain their status and some teams that are ascending like OKC. Tough path for Dame I’d say.
Was waiting for this for a long time. Another one bites the dust.
Given the huge disparity between the top 13 and the bottom two in the west, was a long time since we went past the mathematical reach of another team, but now it should happen very rapidly. 2 more, and we are guaranteed a play-in, which was a goal at the beginning of the season for many of us. 4 more after that, and we officially make the POs baby!
There will be celebrations in Kings land pretty soon, hopefully by this time next week. Tomorrow's victory against Utah, for example, brings our magic number against them down to 1,
Love seeing this thread every day
