Poll Kings Win Total

The schedule is soft down the stretch. With Boogie we would have pushed 40 wins. We have less talent right now than most teams (maybe all teams) but it's such a soft run we're really in a precarious spot. We need to lose as many as possible and more of these games are going to be close than I'd like.
There's 11 games against teams with similar records or worse to us. If we split those and lose what we're supposed to that puts us at 30 or 31. Last year that would mean between 5-7 th pick which would be good... but it's a much better draft this year so more incentive for tanking. We'll see

The Kings bite, no doubt about it. At best this team has some potential players and a well regarded coach. The GM has knee caped this roster to the point that if the team wants to win anymore games they will have to depend on either enormous luck OR if, and I do mean if, coach Jeoger is inspiring, tenacious and crafty the team will need to figure out how to steal some games through grit and very aggressive defense. I have said in other threads that the only way I can see our line up out scoring ANY opponent is in the open court. That being said if the coach is the guy I think he is and players buy into a "we have noting to loose so leave it all on the court" mentality I can see the Kings stealing a few wins, how many and from who is anyone's guess but I figure why not 7 or so, call me an optimist.
There's still 8-10 soft games left. I originally hadn't counted the pelicans as winnable but they aren't coming together like I thought they would. We've looked hopeless the last couple games but with a young team it's going to be up and down so I'm sure we'll see a couple more games like the Nuggets game. Hopefully we can stay under 30 wins and wind up with the 5th or 6th worst record. Then we cross our fingers the pels don't move up in the draft.
