Kings Playoff Standings Watch!!!

[kingdivac]

I think this streak of no playoff appearances is a wrap. Of the next 3 teams behind us in the west, I don't believe that Dallas can make up a 4 game deficit to us within 22 games. That would mean guaranteed top 6 seed. Playoffs here we come! They will watch us on TV in late April and they will like it!

22 games is alot of games, see how it goes the next 4 games.. Following that, the Knicks, Suns, and Bucks are a particularly difficult stretch - will be hard-pressed to win one game against those 3..

But what about Victor?!

let Pop and the Spurs groom him first

Aside from Trailblazers pummeling the Rockets, the Nuggets look energized against Clips and hopefully follow through....about good a day as you could've expected for Kings. No doubt there'll be the opposite one of these upcoming days (every team wins but the Kings)

This thread is SOOO much better than those we've been having to read the last 16 years towards the end of each season.

I can't believe that you got sick of rooting for 'lins' after a measly sixteen years.

The funny thing though, is that these rankings fluctuate a lot at this point in the season because there are so few games left. Each game impacts SOS so much. As an example, we were 16th before we played the back to back with Houston and then zoomed to 2nd after those two games. We were third before playing the Clips, and 6th afterward. So there is a lot of change.

Yeah it gets silly. Also good teams play bad, they load manage, they may prioritize one game over another, etc. Bad teams sometimes have a bunch of guys looking for their next contract taking their one moment to shine. Just handle your business.

No reason to worry about the Blazers. Beating the Rockets probably hurts them long term if it costs them in the draft somehow.

There are 2 later games in the Kings schedule vs Blazers. Perhaps the Blazers will have fallen out of Playoff contention, but I think they may be a bubble team for the Play-ins, which will make those games difficult. Kings have been fortunate of late with the Blazers and Thunder missing key players. They are taking advantage as they should.

Kings play another one of those back to back things in mid March here. Blazers will never quit if Dame plays. They're just who they are. I don't think they are anything to worry about. Nurk has become unplayable and they shipped Hart out. Simons likely done for a while. If we can't beat them this late in the season it's a problem.

What is this strange feeling? 10 games over .500? I know it's an arbitrary stat but haven't seen such things around these parts especially this late in a season. Stay still, my heart.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Nuggets are gonna let us down aren’t they?

 

[Tetsujin]

Mike Malone just really hates the Kings, I guess

 

[fansinceday1]

CMON DENVER!!!

 

[Telemachus]

Leonard is still playing out of his mind.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

The Nuggets are gonna let us down aren’t they?

yes yes they are.

 

[fansinceday1]

This game is crazy!
clippers are for real.

 

[iowamcnabb]

How does a mason jar company make enough cash to name an arena? Haha

 

[iowamcnabb]

Joker and the Board man are cheat code

 

[fansinceday1]

kawai and joker are going off!

 

[Telemachus]

Jokic and Leonard are basically playing one on one at this point.

 

[Tetsujin]

Malone using his challenge here instead of just letting notoriously terrible free throw shooter Mason Plumlee just take the free throws shows that he's intentionally tanking this game to **** over the Kings.

 

[fansinceday1]

Plumlee would look good in a kings uniform

 

[Tetsujin]

Kawhi almost singlehandedly ended the Nuggets night. Instead MPJ hits a three to give the Nuggets a two point lead with 27 seconds left. If you haven't been watching, tune in now.

 

[Tetsujin]

KCP been terrible over these last couple of possessions defensively lol

 

[fansinceday1]

love that there are so many exciting meaningful games to watch.

 

[Tetsujin]

That couldn't have been in time.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

what the hell why not make a play for Jokic there.

More OT for Clippers. Hopefully they lose a bunch this week on tired legs.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jamal Murray ain't De'Aaron Fox, that's for sure.

 

[iowamcnabb]

what a mistake by Denver. Didn’t they have a time out? Your best shot was a Bruce Brown 3?

 

[Livinthedream]

Pulling for a double OT and Leonard load mgmt next Friday.

 

[fansinceday1]

just like the philly game! wow!
