Playoff standings....

N.U.F.A.N.

N.U.F.A.N.

Bench
One more loss and houston gets our 5th spot... 2 losses and memphis gets our 6th spot. this moves us to the 7th spot, and we face san antonio in the first round. now that right there.... scares me...
 
Tim Duncan is out for the rest of the season Im told. If thats true, then I believe we can hold our own if Peja can play at the level hes capable.
 
One game at a time.

Memphis has a brutal schedule down the stretch. Also, the KIngs have the tie-breaker against Memphis. Houston is different story. Looking at their remaining games I think they could easily go 11-3 or 10-4 down the stretch. If they go 10-4, the Kings would have to go 9-3 to stay in the 5 spot.
 
Pointless speculation. there are literly hundreds of permutations based on what if particualr teams win and loose any given number of games. You paly them one at a time untill you have a spesific slot locked, then you can start talking match ups and stratigy. Kings will undoubtedly win more games before tehseason is out, and they might loose a few as will the oposition. At this point even the 1-3 slots are not set in stone.
 
0-3

1st one (@key)was a blowout. it was only our 4th game. very messy game. and they were on a roll

2nd one (@arco) we didn't have webb and peja, if i remember correctly. they didn't have allen. it was a close game.

3rd one (@key) we didn't have brad because of suspension. close game.

they're injured, too, right now. allen had an ankle sprain (but appears to be allright now), rashard left last night's game with knee tendinitis (game-time decision tonight), radmanovic could be out for the season. don't know if i'm missing anyone else.

so definitely beatable. depends on what kind of kings team show up in the playoffs.

They are sitting him the rest of the regular season so he is rested and healthy for the playoffs.
 
and being very secretive about exactly what his conidition is. there's a chance he might not play the first round, even the entire playoffs. if that's true, or even if he plays but isn't 100%, the spurs suddenly become very beatable and the west goes from a 2/3 team race to a situation where anyone could win it all, since neither pheonix, seattle nor houston are consistent enough to be a dominant threat like san antonio, even if they are very good. if duncan doesn't play to his full potential, one way or the other, i would say any team (with maybe the exception of memphis) would have a realistic shot of making it to the finals. and the heat are the instant favorite.
 
Wow do you really think the Rockets are going to win out?

Sacramento still has 2 more wins than the rockets, so basically the Rockets have played 2 less games than the Kings.

This basically means the Kings only need to win one more game than the Rockets win the rest of the way.

Don't count the Kings out yet!
 
Hmmm, think the Rockets have the tie-breaker. We are 2-2 against them so that's a wash but they have the better conference record. The only reason we're listed at the 5 spot right now is cause our 2 more games played gives us 2 more wins for the better winning percentage. But that's a false lead.

How is that a FALSE LEAD?

The kings have played 2 more games than the rockets and won 2 more, this gives them a better record. once the rockets and kings have played the same amount of game then well see, but this is not a false lead, the rockets need to win 2 more games than the kings to even tie them, plain and simple. The kings are in the drivers seat not the rockets.
 
Forgot to say that the rockets have no more games left against the east they are only playing western conference teams the rest of the way.

kings have 3 more games against eastern conference teams and have played 5 more games against the west than the rockets so far.

Thats true but everyone pretty much judges standings by the loss column at this time of year. Rockets will not lose that many more games, we can't either.

Its a "false" lead just in that the loss column is the thing that is out of your control, or from our perspective, the only thing IN our control. You can't really count on the other team losing games, and you can't take a loss off the board once its on your record. Whoever's got the fewer losses theoretically controls their own destiny -- win out and they hold on. And especially when you are coming down the stretch of a playoff run where teams are really focusing, and the healthier/stronger team at the moment is control of its own fate...its not a steady perch.
 
The Kings' Final Playoff Position

I think the Kings will hold onto their fifth seed in the Western Conference because Houston and Memphis have some very difficult upcoming games. Win-loss records would suggest that Houston and Memphis are facing tougher games than the Kings. I believe that these two teams may lose nearly half of their remaining games.

I predict a serious Houston "slide" starting next week. I suspect that Denver have observed the same thing, and they will be loaded for bear tonight in anticipation of a late-season surge to the fifth seed in the West.

 
mc grady got injured yesterday. i dont know how bad the injury is but he was carried off the court.
so everyone is in trouble as of now (houston/san antonio/ dallas/ sac/ seattle) . I dont think we will lose the 5th seed to houston/memphis.
 
T-Mac was hurt for the Rockets. Who knows if he'll miss any time, but maybe attrition will take a bit of a toll on them as it has us.

My guess is they'll pass us though. They've been playing at a higher level for some time.

Edit: Oops, didn't see the second page of this thread. :)
 
Honestly, I would rather go to the 6th seed. If everything else stayed the same that would mean that we would be playing Sonics/Suns/Spurs (if we did get that far. I feel comfortable with those teams. I don't with Dallas though.

I we do play Dallas in the first round, then BRING IT ON!!!
 
Most of guys here are saying that they would like 6th place and series with Sonics.I am ok with that,but if we have chance to be 5th or even 4th,why not?I think that maybe it would be easier if we would knock out Mavs in first round,that is one good team less.
Anyway,I expect from Kings to go all the way this season,so they must beat every team!GO KINGS!
 
Rick Adelman KEEPS telling the players not to look too far in advance. Right now, we just need to see the team continuing to play as well as they possibly can. They need to concentrate just on getting their stuff together, playing cohesively and for 48 minutes and getting healthy - not necessarily in that order.

We need to go into the playoffs improving our game. That's important. We need to go into the playoffs as healthy as possible. That's important. We need to go into the playoffs a team with a goal. That's important.

Who we play in the first round is merely an indicator of what's to come. If someone is that afraid of our first round match-up, then IMHO they're not really that confident of the team's ability to go past the first round.

Just my three cents...
 
There will be a lot of very surprised basketball fans and disappointed media twits when the Kings win the NBA Championship this year.;)

It wasnt that bad....read on another site that thier coach said if Tracy didn't play sunday, he'd play against the jazz. I still don't understand how he was hurt. As of now, the rockets have the 5th seed(i'd come on here to see if it were true. I can't believe they crept up on us like this.) but they may not have after playing the spurs....then again, they don't have duncan.

He was driving inside and went up just as Yao cut inside. They clashed hips and Tracy dropped like his was shattered. The first report on ESPN actually said it might be a "crippling injury."
 
Rockets web site says "mri reveals injury is not that serious". McGrady is tough, he'll be around, count on it.

And not to mention the number of heartattack skyrocketing 10000%
 
Suns won't win the title , they have no D in the valley of the sun. Spurs chances rest upon timmy d's ankle. Dallas will try to make you believe that they can play defense ,but they just can't play over a 7 game series. The teams that are interesting are the rockets, grizz and HOT ! nuggets.


I still have faith in my kings , if the red sox can win the title . The kings can 2 !!!
