If we win the game tomorrow vs. the Blazers, and the Jazz lose to the Sixers, we take 8th seed. No excuses or any bs because they've had 3 days of rest. The West is injured right now and if the Kings want to show that they're contenders, they'll need to prove it.
Nuggets have missed Chandler and Nurkic for the entire season. Lately, they've been without Mudiay and Gallinari.
Jazz have missed Gobert and Exum for almost the entire season. Favors was out for their last game.
Pelicans have missed Evans and Pondexter for almost the entire season. Holiday has been questionable because of his injuries
Mavs have been without Deron Williams for the last few games and both Parsons and Matthews are coming back slowly.
Lillard has missed his last few games because of an injury.
The Kings need to capitalize on all of these things. The only real injury this team has had is Cousins for 4-5 games and WCS. The Kings need to go out there and beat the Blazers.

The Mavs barring serious injury are locks to make it I think we have a better chance catching the Grizz and Rockets who have looked like complete crap than the Mavs who are one of the best coached teams and always seem to beat the teams they should. In fact barring injury the mavs should only get better with wes, parsons and mcgee getting healthy.
The Grizz look like the most likely to fall out here. Looks like an old team on its last legs. Wouldnt surprise me if NO makes a charge. From what I see it will be Utah, Memphis, Sac and NO fighting for the 7th and 8th seeds. I was expecting Dallas to fall off but you forget they are really well coached regardless of talent level.
Yep, Blake, Bledsoe, and Burks all going down in a couple of days. I certainly don't want to turn this into the we hope the other team's players get injured thread, but all sorts of opportunity knocking. We've just got to get to the point when we KNOW we are going to take care of our business so that this opening do not get wasted for no reason.
I really hope the Kings don't join those other in injury-land, but realistically it's just a matter of time before the Kings have a significant injury as well.
That's what's infuriated me so much about them wasting these games when they're mostly healthy ; getting strong games from 2 of their big 3 and still losing against not-good teams is not a recipe for success.
