Would like to see the TWolves play the Lakers in the Play-ins elimination game.

Does Len get DPOG? Or Davion?

Knowing how Jodi has been picking the DPOG... it'll probably go to someone who we didn't expect at all for some random reason lol. I'll go with Kessler as a dark horse, but I think it should be Len.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Gritty basketball is fun. If we could ever figure out how to do that and keep our free flowing sweet shooting offense going we would be the one of the most fun teams to watch in history

I think we already are. But would probably be one of the most fun championship teams in history if we could add that.

Kings win! All is right with the world again! 50 wins is still in play for us which is the big goal and since Memphis has 3 road games remaining (@ NOP, @ MIL, @ OKC) I still have some hope that the 2 seed might be obtainable too.

 

[sactowndog]

So I think we are locked into 3 at this point but perhaps others can confirm.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I don't think individual accolades should be a priority right now but Keegan had 7 three pointers at the end of the 3rd Q, and the record for a rookie in an individual game is 9.

I remember liking Len during his first stint here and was happy we re-signed him. Then he would get on the floor and look like he had never played before. Now he is a game changing defensive player haha

2 behind with 3 to play (for each MEM/SAC). It's all but a lock, but it is not a lock.

 

[Sluggah]

Can we gift home court advantage to someone?

We have to win all 3 remaining games and Memphis has to lose 2 of 3 for us to move up. Or if Memphis loses all 3 we only have to win 2 but that's asking for a lot.

how many times has a team has a better record on the road than at home? Can’t imagine it happens often

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Statistically our home/away records are within the margin of error for being equal. I would not trade HCA (which if things go chalk, we would only have for round one).

 

[Hoovtrain]

Very nice, stabilizing win

I'm pretty sure you were joking, but certainly not Golden State! They're 32-8 at home and a 9-30 on the road! Yikes!

Remember it was just last season that the Mavs made it to the West finals as a 4 seed

 

[iowamcnabb]

Miguel with the DPOG

Oddly I think we match up better against Memphis and Denver than we do half of the teams behind us.

 

[TaxMan]

Wooop woooop! All is good with the world again. I guess on the bright side we won’t be seeing any cellar dwellers in the playoffs.

Maybe. I see every team that makes it in, as a challenging series

 

[PorchSurfin]

In the penalty with 10 minutes to go.

Winner for most irrelevant "Remember that free throw Jerry" post of the game.

I grant you the Grant Napear Most Irrelevant Comment of the Game Award sir.

There won't be an easy series that's true. I am fearful we'd be playing 5-8 vs. the other CA teams and Phoenix.

 

[NewArena]

guys we are literally a championship contender on the road lmao it’s so bizarre. Light the beam!!!!

 

[NewArena]

One of our best defensive games of the year. Edwards and Mitchell continue to be a formidable defensive pair.

Having a coach that challenges these guys and makes no excuses is BEAUTIFUL

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

ANOTHER win can only mean ONE thing, Kings Fam Bam!!!

#BeamTheMuthaEffingLight

JUST.
MUTHA.
EFFING.
BEAM.
THAT.
ISH.

 

[kingsboi]

wait...another road win? I'm starting to think that the Kings should start their first round series away just so they don't fall behind 0-2

 

[Tetsujin]

Not a great night for the Dyson Daniels is better than Keegan Murray crowd.

 

[NewArena]

Boy i love when Mark Jones happens to announce our milestone moments and big games. Feels different

 

[NewArena]

Nice response to losing to the Spurs at home, a thorough blow out on the road against one of the hottest teams in the NBA who needed the win

That’s what makes this SUPER impressive

 

[NewArena]

This genuinely made me chuckle. I’ll gladly play the first 4 games on the road so we can sweep the first round and be done with it

This is the only reason I'd prefer a New Orleans, Dallas, OKC, etc than any of the above you mentioned. Suns with CP3 and Durant are going to get treatment similar to the Fakers. We can beat any team in the league in a seven game series with fair reffing.
