let Fox rest and stay healthy. Beating the T pups is inconsequential compared to Fox straining a hammy

I don't deserve my crow to be hot after my terrible takes on this subject. Though if I am eating crow I would prefer to eat the beak last.

LeBoring James was getting jealous of Autin ReJordeeves and wasn't letting him do his thing of completely dominating the opposing team at the free thow line using the two man game with Adam Silver.

I hope the Dubs will settle for two and OT here...
It's kind of weird that "nearly there Kings" doesn't quite read like the Pacific Division leading Kings.

Warriors with a bad loss to the wolves. Wow.
I wanted OT but I do think Dubs made Minny work.
Kings Playoff Tracker
For the second straight day, the Kings had a chance to clinch a top-6 playoff slot, but didn't get the help they needed. No matter, because if my combinatorics are correct, the path for the Kings to miss a top-6 playoff spot is unfathomably narrow. There are 33 relevant games remaining, only ONE of which needs to go the Kings' way for us to light the Playoff Beam. Now, assuming every single one of those games is a 50/50 shot, the chance that the Kings miss the playoffs is 1 in about 8.6 billion. I'm pretty sure we've got this eventually.
Meanwhile the Grizzlies continue to refuse to lose, keeping the #2 slot the less-likely of our two likely landing slots for now.
Note that with a win tomorrow, the Kings will eliminate FOUR teams, and guarantee home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
Today's games (3):
MEM def. Hawks
MIN def. GSW
Magic Number To Eliminate (TB=TieBreaker):
DEN (50-24) 14, 8 games remaining, TB 1-1, 1 to play (winner gets TB)
MEM (47-27) 11, 8 games remaining, TB goes to Kings if they win the Pacific Division, otherwise goes to Memphis
SAC (45-29) --, 8 games remaining
PHX (39-35) 3, 8 games remaining, TB goes to team with better division win%
GSW (39-37) 1, 6 games remaining, TB=Warriors
LAC (39-36) 1, 7 games remaining, TB=Kings
--- Playoffs ---
MIN (38-37) 1, 7 games remaining, TB=T'Wolves
NOP (37-37) 1, 8 games remaining, TB=Pelicans
Tomorrow's games (6):
PHX at Jazz, 6 PM
Sixers at DEN, 6:30 PM
NOP at Blazers, 7 PM --> Kings will eliminate the Pelicans with a Blazers win
MIN at SAC, 7 PM --> Kings will eliminate the Wolves, the Pelicans, the Warriors AND the Clippers, securing a top-4 playoff slot with a win
Bulls at LAC, 7:30 PM --> Kings will eliminate the Clippers AND secure a top-6 playoff spot with a Bulls win

Whew, thought I had spoke too soon.
I think it's wild so many are debating when we clinch, all I want is to clinch the 3 seed and maybe, just maybe slide back into 2.
I was confused by your post lol. Since we play the Wolves tomorrow I thought extending the game would be good for us either way. But they were inbounding the ball 3 mins after you posted and I know feeds lag but didn't think they lag that bad.
It will just make our win to secure home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs tomorrow night all the more sweet! Not too often that you see a team with a chance to eliminate four other teams all in one game!

They literally don’t have anything but three ball. They live with that, they die with that.

Minny is a scary team. Tomorrow should be very interesting.

True!
That's one of the interesting elements to the fans wanting to clinch at home tomorrow. 1) the berth will probably clinched in the 3rd quarter. 2) Minny is anything but a sure win.
how ass after all that would it be to lose tomorrow and still celebrate?

CD is not a homer. He is the morning host of a station whose main claim to fame is home of the Kings. He must follow the Kings no matter what.

Kings next year have a chance to snatch Reid away from Wolves (he's a free agent). He's got the length and strength the Kings need. Sometimes, I just feel like the Kings lack size...so even if they play great D....they still get overwhelmed.
I think the Kings would have a really tough time with the Warriors in the first round. We give up a ton of wide open 3s.
I'd much rather the Warriors lose and the Wolves, Pels or Thunder slide into the 6th spot.
Lakers would be a nightmare scenario. The NBA would absolutely screw us out of our first playoff trip in years by making it a 5 on 8 series.
Yeah the 3 teams I don't want are PHX, GSW and LAL. PHX for obvious reasons with a healthy KD and you nailed why GSW and LAL would be bad match-ups for us.
Everyone else though I think we'd have a great chance to move on, especially with HCA. Not to say I don't think we could beat GSW or LAL in a series, but they'd be much tougher

It's the Kings vs Warriors in 1st round of the Playoffs. Kings down by 8pts after 1st quarter. That was shown in my dream lol.
Yes but what happened in the 3rd and 4th?

I DON'T want to play the Warriors. They have way too many shooters. If any, or all, of them get hot, it's gonna be a long night, and a very long series.
I'd feel much better, and more confident, if we get a team like the Lakers, or any of the other teams currently fighting for the final few playoff spots in the West. Heck, give me Luka, and I'd feel more confident than I would going up against the Warriors.
