Kings Playoff Standings Watch!!!

Dubs are gonna come back and win. Enjoy the game tomorrw @pdxKingsFan
Just a total implosion by the Pelicans. Offensive rebounds that turned into threes was the big culprit. Teams are going to have to start changing the way they teach rebounds on 3 attempts. We think that’s a kings problem but it happens everywhere including college women’s bball. It often results in open threes too because the guards come up to try to grab the board and inevitably someone is hanging on the perimeter waiting for a catch and shoot

For the FOURTH straight day, the Kings had a chance to clinch a top-6 playoff slot. And for the fourth straight day, nothing went the Kings' way, the PeLOLicans blew an 18-point halftime lead to lose by 11, and we are still waiting to clinch the spot. However, the Warriors' win means the Pelicans join the group of teams that can't finish ahead of the Kings, so that's something. And it's not like there's a lot of stress here. Going forward in order for the Kings to be forced to win a play-in game, the Warriors can't lose again (5 games), the Clippers can't lose again (6 games), the T'Wolves can't lose again (6 games), Phoenix has to lose to the Clippers and Minnesota but win all the rest of their games (5 games not included above), and the Kings have to lose out (5 games not included above). That's 27 games that all have to go exactly the right way for us to end up in a 5-way tie for 3rd-7th. Hmm. Who wins that crazy tiebreaker? It looks like we finish 4th in that 5-way head-to-head tiebreaker, but I'm not sure whether they will recalculate after the tiebreaker winner is determined and removed, or just go with the overall head-to-head record. Realistically, it's not going to matter. But the clinching celebration has to wait for tomorrow...again.

I find Steph Curry's personality quite off putting. The mouthpiece thing is honestly disrespectful and just kind of gross.
Do you notice in post game interviews our guys are always decent and engaging with the our announcer crew? Steph's demeanor is just... it's like he's just waiting for the interview to be over.
I like our team's culture far better. Our guys make it easy to root for them!

The Warriors have played the majority of their games without Wiggins, who was pretty critical last season, especially in the playoffs. If he comes back for the post season, I’m not feeling great about our chances, but they’d be exciting games for sure. And the potential narrative of Mike Brown eliminating his former team is pretty enticing too.
