Eh, what's new? Even our "easy" part of the schedule was a ridiculous amount of travel.

Feels like ever time i look up, our main competitors are playing the hornets and wizards lol

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Jeez. I think the Mavs are still good enough to get in, but i really really don't want to play the Warriors in another play-in situation. Enough already

Rather play GSW than Dallas in the play in Dallas size and defense will suffocate us

Not to mention, the Mavs with a healthy AD would be much better than a play-in team. Only chance we would have against Dallas in the playoffs-in is if AD and/or Kyrie aren’t healthy.

The Suns have played what has felt like the easiest schedule ever for the last month. They’ve played the Hornets x2, Jazz x2, Hawks x2, Brooklyn and Washington. And the only teak they have beaten in the last month that’s above .500 is the Clippers, by two. They could fall off massively post-ASB.

Eh, what's new? Even our "easy" part of the schedule was a ridiculous amount of travel. I'll never forget that stupid east coast swing where we played @ATL, had a B-B @TOR and then for some reason came back down to play MIA 2 days later.

While true, starting the season 13-18 with that many “easy” opponents was absolutely killer. Almost season-ending. If you just get like three more wins during that stretch, and there’s plenty more you “could have had,” we would be 29-23 right now, sitting half a game behind sixth…

 

[Rob-The-Great]

This is some bullcrap. Fox has 10fts at half. Name me one time he's had 10fts in a dam game with is.

And they still losing to the lowley Wizards. Stupid nba

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Fox had 18fts tonight. Sick

 

[Sluggah]

Don’t like that Butler seems to have woken Curry up from his slumber

 

[The_Jamal]

Min-L
SAS-W
DAL-L
GSW-W

2-2 for playoff watch and a direct win over a team we'll be competing with for seeding. Solid night overall, def need Minny to drop a few games.

 

[The_Jamal]

Also, shout-out the Hawks for winning 3 straight because screw the Spurs and that pick

Tonight’s win also gets us the tiebreaker with Dallas. We’re 2-0 against them this season and they only play each other one more time.

Suns will have a tough stretch for the next couple weeks

Nice.That could be big

Yup, Phoenix has by far the toughest remaining schedule. I think it will come down to Dallas/GSW/Sacramento for 8/9/10. Wildcard with LAC, I feel like they have been over performing all season, maybe they fall into that mix and make 7 realistic. Minnesota could fall back a bit too.

Just checked upcoming ~10 Minny games. Tough schedule. Lately they scraped some tough comeback wins, but just overall I feel like we can outdo them. Same goes for the Clippers.
After ASB is going to be a grind for the teams in the West for the 5-12 places in the standings.

I think the 5 seed is probably out of reach for the 6-12 group at this point. Would just take an epic fall from the Lakers/Rockets/Nuggets and there's just not that many games left to make up so much ground.

Timberwolves as well they could lose something like 8 of 10

 

[Joshyjosh31]

AD could be out for the year

 

[pdxKingsFan]

wow. He said the injury was "nothing".

 

[Hoovtrain]

They will need to go on a real heater if they want to pass up these other teams ahead of them and catch the clippers imo

 

[iowamcnabb]

At this point, I’m less concerned with the playoffs and more concerned with seeing what we have with the current roster. We will learn a lot over the remaining games. But, if we are going to get in, we need to find a relatively long winnng streak relatively soon. I’m still waiting for a stretch where we get hit from 3 for a bunch of games. Give me 45 percent or better for 5 games please.

Nico is going to need to live in a bunker for awhile

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Nico is going to need to live in a bunker for awhile

I'm not even convinced that he'll be safe in a bunker at this point.

 

[gunks]

You're right, it's Texas. Pretty sure you can get Bunker Busters at Army surplus stores there!

Not necessarily. If we were 16-15 after that stretch, MB would never had been fired and the team would have looked a lot different.

Rockets just dropped six in a row and stood pat as a bunch of the teams around them got better. Their lack of a true iso scorer and outside shooting is starting to catch up to them as teams start ramping up for the postseason. Maybe Jabari eventually coming back helps with the shooting but so much of the Rockets plan for this season appears to be them hoping Amen just speedruns a star development curve in 40 games.

For sure, moreso just a math problem at this point. 6 down from them currently with 29 games to go. So if we went 20-9, they'd have to go 14-15. Not impossible, but pretty difficult.

True, but they’ve also had an outrageously easy schedule as well.

If we make it in I like our chances vs Houston or Memphis

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

The Kings have gone 14-8 under Doug Christie, a .636 winning percentage. That’s with the Fox trade drama and adding a new set of players via trade losing us a game or two more than we should have. If we continue to win at that clip, we would finish with a record of 18-11, meaning a 45-37 record overall. That would surely place us somewhere in the 6-8 range and put us in a great position to make the Playoffs.

We gotta take it one game at a time though and get two wins in NOLA. Finish strong and get to 29-26 at the All Star Break. Luckily, Zion doesn’t play back-to-backs so he’ll miss one game against us. Let’s pray CJ “Steph Curry” McCollum doesn’t show up again.
