Playoff Update (Merged)
- Thread starter troosvelt
- Start date
By the end of the month we should hold the seventh seed again. We play Golden State (home), Washington (home), Portland (b2b), and Golden state (Away).
The Lakers have New Orleans (home), San Antonio (home), and Seattle (b2b).
If we take care of our business, we should recapture the 7th seed. Oh yeah and the Spurs cannot, cannot, cannot let the Lakers beat them again.

Lakers have a definite leg up on us for #7 now with almost all of their remaining games at home. Its not out of reach, but its kind of out of our hands -- we blew our chance to get the angle this past week, So, all things conisdered, it might be better to see the Lakers continue driving the nail in the Hornets complete collapse while we basically all but wrap up #8. (NOT where I want to be BTW -- I am on record that missing the playoffs and getting a shot at the lottery might be better than another pointless first round spanking as a sad little #8 seed. But as long as that's the way we are trending be nice to at least be able to wrap it up relatively early, take what shots we may at #7, and then maybe even rest our guys a bit during the last couple of refular season games.)
And that, fellow Kings fans, is the textbook example of cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.
piksi - The Lakers aren't winning to help us. They're winning to improve their chances of not being replaced in the seedings BY us.
Sorry, but when you carry your hatred of a team to the point where you want your own team to suffer that's just silly.

Tonight:
Hornets at Jazz: Big game. Hopefully Hornets win, as for the rest of the season they aren't as strong/experienced as the Jazz are. I think the Jazz will be really hungry to win though.
Wizards at Warriors: Yeah, isn't about the Warriors (and I'd say won't be for the rest of the season), but about the Wizards and us. Wiz should win this with the Warriors playing us the night before, and not having Baron Davis. Then, the Wiz come to Sac the next night, where I think we have an expected advantage.
