[Game] Kings vs. Trail Blazers - 4/14/2024 - 12:30PM PDT/3:30PM EDT

[The Effort Police]

Pelicans are getting their asses kicked

In the words of the great Earl Weaver

“You’re only here for one reason and it’s to [screw] us”

Easy to miss when the Pelicans own us but in a vacuum they're career losers and underachievers.

Pretty easy to predict they would also fold in the important game of the season for them.

 

[Section 101]

as of now it’s looking like

Pelicans
Lakers
Kings
Warriors

potentially a worse case scenerio. If we beat the warriors we could face the Pels if they get revenge on the Lakers. Yikes

Huh? We would play the loser.

 

[Tetsujin]

CJ McCollum bricking everything today after looking like a rich man’s Steph against us a couple of days ago

The reverse jinx worked!

 

[ick300]

I meant as final standing after the play in

To be fair, the Pelsiest outcome would be for them to make it into the actual playoffs and then for Zion to trip on a banana peel during warmups in game one and then get swept.

Yeah in that scenario we are praying the Pels beat the Lakers

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Love the shot of the Kings veterans courtside!!

Have the Kings won a game this season with Divac in attendance?

 

[Tetsujin]

Pels are getting blown out because they chose to close the year out in these ugly ass neon uniforms.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I assume you mean the other way around?

 

[bball_nomad]

I really expected Pels to try to protect 6th place. Bleeeep.....

It sucks in so many ways. It would be nice if the W’s scrubs could at least win the game so we could have a coin flip for the 13th pick.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yes. Also, it would be so fitting if the Pels went 6-0 against us this season.

Alternatively, this week would be a good time for the Kings to channel their inner Vitas Gerulaitis.

 

[The_Jamal]

It's an excuse, and a pretty weak one at that. If Fox or Sabonis are out, ok, that's huge. But Heurter didn't do anything all season before he got injured and Monk is a 6th man with defensive liabilities. If this team can't function without them then they are very fragile and in deep, deep trouble, especially as we all know Ellis and Mitchell have been positive surprises on this team.

Lmao.

Diminishing Huerter and Monks impact to the description above is a true loser mentality

We would face the Lakers if the Pels get revenge but doesn’t matter, the Warriors and Lakers will get the ref whistles and star treatment in their first games and the Warriors good fortune will continue against the Pels in the 8 seed game.

 

[The Effort Police]

You expected too much of them.

Man, I wish I could've known the a team featuring Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum, and Brandon Ingram would crumble the second the game got important.

It just seems so impossible.

 

[Section 101]

Wolves making a run on the Suns, wolves still fighting for position.

 

[sactowndog]

I assume you mean the other way around?

No a Pels / Lakers play-in I want the Lakers to lose and want no part of the Pels again.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

At this point the people freaking out should be the one and two seeds since they’ll be getting the Dubs and Lakers.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Yeh my bad I was not thinking the loss through

 

[megapoxy]

Lebron missed the dunk at the buzzer...
Lakers 50 points at the paint at halftime, the Larry Nance Junior effect. Pels chose to rest JV for all of them not to rest participating in the play in... great job!

That was a good one

It’s all about match-ups and we match up horribly with the Pels.

 

[RoyalDiva]

I don't know.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What's sad is that you can edit that image to say Kings vs the lakers/Kings vs the Pelicans, and it'd be just as accurate.

Pelicans last matches... faced the Kings, the Warriors and now the Lakers, if things stay like this they will play again versus the Lakers and if they keep playing against them like this they will play again against hopefully the Kings

 

[Caccia]

I feel safer now that the lead is 30.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I feel safer now that the lead is 30.

the chances of us winning two are so slim I don’t feel anything at all.

lulz Keon

 

[megapoxy]

Will the "3rd unit" appear before the 4th quarter for the Kings?
