Kings Playoff Standings Watch!!!

[iowamcnabb]

Potentially a big development in the race l. I’m watching the clippers game and PG had a knee injury and was helped off the floor. At the very least a hyperextended knee. Hopefully nothing more

 

[iowamcnabb]

Wow Clippers lose to Okc. Kawhi had 22 seconds to get a shot off and just dribbled around before shooting a fade away jumper AFTER the buzzer down one. Crazy

 

[The_Jamal]

We def want Clipper losses so GSW can get the 5 seed and we play LAC if we're the 3. Was watching that game, the PG injury did not look good.

I don't know whether it's too early to think about, but is there a consensus amongst kings fans on who we would rather face in the playoffs? They all seem like tough games and it's a matter of picking your poison.

Mavericks ( you never want to bet against two superstars especially in the playoffs, although they are bad defensively)
Clippers (Better defensively and defense wins out in the playoffs. Also a very deep team with a superstar in kawaii and an all star in George)
Warriors (Hard to bet against the former champs from just a year ago oh and Steph Curry)
Lakers (Bron and Davis with added depth after the trade and with refs on their side)

I think for me it would be

Thunder/Jazz (toss up)
Wolves
Mavs
Warriors
Lakers
Clippers

it did kinda remind me of the Metu injury so hopefully it’s just that

my guess is the Clippers want to be 6 and avoid Denver and PHX with the assumption we stay 3. They do that crap and it always seems to backfire on them.

Funny enough I feel like all the teams below the Kings lowkey want to play the Kings in the playoffs. They are either in for a rude awakening or maybe right in choosing to play the Kings. Can't wait to see how this will unfold.

are you thinking he isn’t really injured? I’m not sure if that’s what you meant but it’s for sure a real injury

Hard to fake someone's knee bending 45 degrees in the wrong direction.

Nah was talking about Leonard’s half hearted end of game effort.

Wasn’t talking about George.

 

[The_Jamal]

Looks like the Blazers are now 4 games back of the 10 seed. Few more losses and they should hopefully hang Dame up (and maybe even Simons/Nurkic, etc) up for that 2-game set we have with them in a week.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Okc has a chance to make the straight playoffs. They have an easy schedule coming up.

clips without PG
lakers
blazers
hornets
pistons
pacers

I could see them going 4-2 or better in that
stretch

they finish up with
Suns
Warriors (may be deciding game)
Jazz
Grizz (who will likely have 2 seed wrapped up and may sit starters)

 

[Hoovtrain]

Paul George just went down tonight. At this point would like to stay at 3 and hope W’s overtake clippers for 5 and clips stat at 6 lol

 

[est.1999]

The grizzlies really stepped up after a lot of media heads claimed they were done for when Ja went out.

They've always seemed to play well without him. The bigger surprise was that they've continued to win without Clarke and Adams

 

[KF8]

I'm conflicted who I want to win tonight.. suns or lakers? Leaning towards rooting for the Lakers, since there is still a slight chance of the Suns catching us at 3rd and we also have one more game against them which could make the race even closer if we lose, but also wouldn't mind a Lakers loss. Don't want to see the lakers somehow ending up at the 6th seed where we have to face them and the refs.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Rockets giving the Grizz a run for their money right now. 4 mins to go tie game

I’m with you. I’m confident we’ll play well enough to hold off the Suns for the 3 seed regardless of this game. I’ll cheer on the Suns to further bury the Lakers.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Of course the W’s are going to win

I want the Suns to help push the Fakers out of the play-in simply for the comment about "wanting to face Sacramento" because it would be easier. I want them sitting at home after game 82.

All good. Let the W’s move up to the 5 seed to match up with Phoenix round 1.

Yep. I'd much rather take the Mavs over GSW. You have two superstars to beat on DAL, but I think their overall team is much much weaker. And obviously much less cohesion/playoff battle tested roster.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Half way through 2nd quarter of Suns vs Lakers.

Lakers 19 FT attempts
Suns 4 FT attempts

 

[KF8]

Rooting for the Jazz to beat the blazers to keep the lakers out of the playoffs.. and of course agbaji back to scoring 6 points after destroying the Kings!

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Mavs apparently condisering formally challenging the game. Didn't see it so don't know what... but huh.

Stuff like this is honestly disheartening. I mean it's simply so blatant. There is absolutely no way the league lets the Fakers miss the playoffs. Just makes me want to beat them more.

 

[Caccia]

After the Mavericks lost to the Warriors this evening, only one game separates nos. 7-12 in the Western Conference. Desperate times.

Did any of the games tonight change the magic number? I know Captain will have an update soon enough and I could do math to figure out on my own, but if anyone has the quick answer, it would save me from going round about.
