5-3 for 50. Feels important.
First, here's who they have left.
Minnesota Timberwolves
@Portland Trail Blazers
@Portland Trail Blazers
San Antonio Spurs
@New Orleans Pelicans
@Dallas Mavericks
Golden State Warriors
Denver Nuggets
Certainly no cakewalk. But playing only 1 team w/a better record if they don't get to 50 it'll mark a bit of a slump going into the playoffs.
Plus, all the talk here over the last few years, including early this year, assumed the Kings would make only incremental, stepwise progress, if any. Well, they've already made much more than that, but, as you say, @Padrino, 50+ would really underline that point. I dunno that 50+ is the cutoff for "serious contender" - historically, it's more like 55+ in an 82-game season - but it's certainly been the somewhat arbitrary cutoff for "very good team."

I agree 50 is a good number to shoot for. I do think we are going to see a lot less 50-60 teams as the competition level is on the rise. Injuries are largely to blame for the lower win totals this year but it’s possible that there will be only one non competitive team in the whole western conference next season. ( I’m assuming Houston makes some moves to be a lot more competitive) while the Spurs will likely bottom out one more year
Yeah, the last couple of games, I went to the left invitations on my seat to attend a sales pitch at halftime for 2023-2024 Season tix, with the perk being an early option for playoff tix this year (should we make the playoffs). It pained me that I just live too far away for season tickets to make sense. Back in the day, I had an easy time getting them up here in the Fresno area because Ticketmaster at Tower Records had no line, and I could be first on when they opened up. We will see how this works out in this new age.
As others have shared - we essentially clinched a playoff birth - and it will become official soon enough regardless of this result. Having said that, I'm curious to see the response if we win. Will there be some quiet emotion from the players/ staff/ fans? Or will everyone remain stoic and dry eyed?
