Memphis, Minnesota and OK City are NO LONGER A THREAT - Woohoo!

Our schedule is still the easiest (and we have the most games) from here on out. We could drop as low as 3rd either by our own doing or with a bad flip of the coin. :(

Thanks VF, your edit helps a bunch...

Come on Kings fans!... Look this over... what do you think?
 
I think your projected win total is too high. I see the team losing at least one against Clippers/Minnessota and after that, there isn't really a team left on the schedule that they could beat.
 
With Gilbert back for the Wizards, I see them winning more than 1 game. I actually think there is a better chance of them winning 3 and the Kings winning 1.

I'd agree, except for one thing. It was rumored, when we first heard that Arenas was coming back, that he'd only be playing at the Wiz's home games. So far, he's played at one home game, and for the game at Indy he is expected to be out "resting his knee." If they do, in fact, limit him to home games, then Washington might win the one against Toronto, but their other home games (Detroit, already lost, then Cleveland and Miami) are pretty sure lins.

So don't be overestimating Arenas' influence on this draft race just yet. A 17 win season may yet be in the Wiz's grasp.
 
as long as we dnt get the worst record, im good Worst record equals #4. Now a 2 way tie would be nice for the worst record :D

Don't over-rate the Heat either. Other than Wade, their team really isn't very good. If he has an off-game or sits out, they can definitely beat the Heat. I think Wade is the real MVP, although he's not gonna win it.

well the wizards have the tie breaker with us. So we can tie them and still hve the worst record

There is no tiebreaker based on record. If two teams in the lottery tie the balls (combos, technically) are split evenly, with any extra combos (and position, in case neither team wins 1/2/3 in the lottery) going to the winner of a coin flip.

Things will be interesting here on out... This losing stuff is really stressful when you've got so many bad teams in the mix.

The Wiz look like the may have stepped it up with a healthy team. Beating the Cav's? Let's hope they get a couple extra wins in now.

The Clips are gonna be our biggest competition for high lottery odds. They really don't care anymore.

The Kings are our own worst enemy. These guys of coarse want to win some games and close out the year as spoilers, and our schedule lets them with half our games at home. Somebody from above needs to put the reigns on Natt.

I think somebody already has. He has a full squad, why would he play small ball with Nellie? I can't believe that Natt is that stupid. If he plays Spencer, JT & Donte, no one is going to criticize him for playing the future of the franchise. But, if they out rebound the GSW, we might have won that game in regulation.

It's just that beating the Suns and almost pulling out the Hornets game makes me nervous. Natt is really pushing for wins (whether or not capable is another issue)... He just might back into a couple extra wins when other teams have given up.
 
Kings

Lakers Loss
Rockets Loss
@ Clippers Win (Hopefully Martin will be out this game)
Spurs Loss
@ Nuggets Loss
@ Wolves Win

Final Record 18-64

Wizards

@ Cavaliers Loss
@ Raptors Loss
Raptors Win (Hopefully Arenas plays in this one)
@ Celtics Loss

Final Record 19-63

Clippers

Wolves Win
Kings Loss
Trail blazers Loss
@ Jazz Loss
Thunder Loss

Final Record 19-63

I'm worried about the Wizards the most. Their chances of winning a game is a lot slimmer than the Clippers.

Well, definitely 1 or 2 wins for us and hopefully the Wiz will lose one of the games against the Raptors and who knows, they might just win again against the team they hate the most, the Cavaliers. The Clippers will win 1 or 2 out of the games against us, the Wolves, and the Thunder.
