It’s basically over for sixth seed. we’d have to go like 8-1 if they go 5-4.

Tiebreaker is conference record. They have more in-conference games left on the schedule if I’m not mistaken

That’s tough to take. Shades of the Suns game with all the turnovers and bonkers shooting from the opposition to end the quarter.
Probably need to go 7-2 to get the 6th seed which is near impossible.
I guess all we can do is try to finish strong and do what we can in the playin

No true leader and no offensive option who can just get his. Fox was that last year but he has regressed this season, regardless of what the stats say.

Play in bracket is Lebron, KD, and Steph. We're getting zero calls in those games.

I hate to say it, but body language is a big tell. It's not a good look and sets a precedence for the team

Definitely not happening. Now we got to hope we at least get the 7th or 8th. Let’s say the standings are as they are at this point, we play the Suns at their place. If we lose that, then we play the Warriors or Lakers at home. Yep, let’s just put ourselves through the gauntlet of hall of famers

Did they though? Maybe in some ways, but the difference was Barnes didn't dominate like he did in the first half. Shots didn't go in, Domas kind of got squashed and the refs gave him no favors again. The difference was the clear and apparent talent difference. They have two players that can get you 30 and there's nothing you can do about it. Barnes was the gap filler in the first half. He faded, and Fox and Domas didn't take over as a result. It is what it is. The good news is with Keon and Keegan as your 3 and D guys, if Monte can land another legit scorer at SF this might be a finished product.

For those who think we can still finish 6th, this is what would need to happen for us to be top 6:

This is the scary thing with the Rox ripping it right now. lol. Crazy West. I think the Kings will have a hard time not at least making the play in and if still think if they can catch the Dubs and beat them then the confidence will soar.

Yeah, Dallas had the two best players on the floor, evident in the fourth quarter.

They have to go to the east coast again

Luka had more free throw attempts than the entire Kings roster combined

Fox was on fire for several weeks there. We need that version of Fox back.

First thought, **** Vlade. Second, I absolutely don’t want to see another “bring it back” zero move offseason this summer

Defense continues to be solid, but they completely took their foot off the petal offensively in the second half. Way too many possessions where we just dribbled waiting and waiting before getting into any action with less than 10 seconds. Without unexpected great shooting by the bench this would have been a total collapse. The current mavs roster after the deadline is clearly a superior team right now.

Kings 25/60 2p FG (HB 7/15,Fox 6/15)
Mavs 20/39 2p FG
Again we weren't moving the ball much in 2nd half, apart from the steals that led to fast breaks, our offense was bad. We got some 3s on the way when moving but Fox and Domas wasted a lot time handling the ball for no reason that led to bad shots before shot clock expired.
In the same time Dallas hit how many 3s at the end of 24"? Kleber twice and Luka once are the ones I recall.

Btw the Lakers are only 1.5 GB of us. Don’t count out falling to 9th.

Is it mentally weak, or is it just simply that the Kings don't have a enough true "killers"? The Kings don't have a 2nd guy that can pretty much pick their shots. The Mavs have two. One's a legit MVP level talent and the other isn't far behind. Monte has work to do.

To be fair, Luka had like nothing to do with the Mavs winning that game aside from standing in the corner and watching Kyrie torch us.

2.5 back because we have the tiebreaker

Can you say "Superstar calls?"
Seeing Monk went down early in this one as well.
Our depth getting sapped is... man. Monk/Huerter/Lyles are 3 of our top 7 players and Sasha probably slots somewhere around 10th on our depth chart. It's hard to absorb that for such an extended period of time.
I still don't get how Luka/Kyrie get 20 FTA and Fox/Domas get 6 FTA. You just can't tell me they aren't getting fouled THAT much less than the other 2 stars on the other side.
