The Road to catching the Spurs

[jcwkings]

The Knicks are beating the Spurs through halftime.

And they play a rested Nets tommorow, if this result holds it would be HUGE.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jesus, the Knicks are starting to wipe the floor with the Spurs.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Spurs doing what they have been doing for years. Coming back now. 8 point lead in the 4th for the Knicks with 5 min left.

 

[Sac.1989]

115-107 Knicks goota hold on !!

 

[Tetsujin]

Dotson having a huge game. Looks like the Knicks might be able to hold on.

 

[Tetsujin]

DSJ also looking great tonight.

Dude may be the real winner of the Zinger trade.

 

[Solicitor]

Yay! Go Knicks!

 

[burekijogurt]

great Sunday.

 

[Sac.1989]

Knicks got it done for us ! Perfect

 

[Tetsujin]

THE KINGS ARE NOW TIED WITH THE SPURS IN THE LOSS COLUMN!

MAY THE KNICKS BE BLESSED WITH ZION FOR THEIR EFFORTS!

 

[John Galt]

Kings technically do not need anyone's help now to make the playoffs. Unbelievable.

 

[kingsboi]

Spurs are now 1-6 on their current road trip. They are on a free fall and look terrible, how they have this many wins says everything about Pop and his greatness.

Kings technically do not need anyone's help now to make the playoffs. Unbelievable.

Both the Lakers and T-Wolves, and even the Pelicans are still in contention, so there's still a pack of 7 teams for 3 slots.

Yeah, but if the Kings keep winning (and stay in front of those teams) and keep the same number of losses with the Spurs, the Kings have the tie breaker.

The Kings are in control of their own playoff destiny now!

 

[NME]

One game out of a three-way tie for #7/#8 and as close to #6 (2 games) as they are #10.

Pop is the all time greatest. He has done so much with so little for so long there is no comparison. Hats off to him. Be glad to keep him and the LeLakers out the POs

 

[kingdivac]

Big game against T-Wolves

Yeah, but if the Kings keep winning (and stay in front of those teams) and keep the same number of losses with the Spurs, the Kings have the tie breaker.

The Kings are control of their own playoff destiny now!

Regardless....tomorrow is especially important - its a tie-breaker win if the Kings win vs T-Wolves. VERY IMPORTANT game tomorrow for playoff implications.

 

[Cojc]

We need to stop any momentum that Minnesota thinks they have and a win for us on Monday not only puts the team right in the thick of it and further sinks Minnesotas chances.

 

[Sac.1989]

Each game is winnable and we must attack each as such

 

[NME]

The Knicks win was such a shocker that Samuel Jackson preempted his Oscar presentation to announce the score, LOL.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Towns may not be playing. I didn’t realize this but he’s been out for their last 2 games due to a concussion he suffered in a car accident. They aren’t saying whether he’s back tomorrow or not.

Would be great for us if he’s out.

 

[NewArena]

One game out of a three-way tie for #7/#8 and as close to #6 (2 games) as they are #10.

This is INCREDIBLE. 7th seed would be a dream

Would be great for us if he’s out.

He is listed as "probable" on vegas lines....

 

[Sac.Kings]

He is listed as "probable" on vegas lines....

Oh that’s too bad. As of yesterday he didn’t clear the NBA concussion protocol and tests he has to pass but maybe he did today.

 

[sactowndog]

The Spurs loss was a big loss. Their road to 46 is now almost as hard as our road to 45 (we hold the tie breaker). They must now win 5 of @Bkn (SAB2B), Mil (MilB2B), @Dal, Miami, @Bos (Bosb2b), @Chr, Sac (SacB2B).

5 of 7 is winning at a pretty hi clip. Losing tomorrow would really be hard.

 

[TaxMan]

The Spurs look old, they might end up winning this game but they are the most vulnerable of the playoff teams imo. That team is probably ten games worse without Pop.

Ever since we last played them, I have felt like they are the one team that gives us the best chance at the playoffs. Just not impressed with them at all.

 

[Gliesian]

I dunno about y'all but I'd rather be 8th than 7th. I want an entertaining rivalry with GS and to be frank our chances aren't 0.

I don’t want to play Denver. We need WCS playing well and his sickle cell syndrome does not do well at altitude.

 

[ockingsfan]

He is listed as "probable" on vegas lines....

IF KAT did get a concussion in that car accident on Thursday, I doubt he would be able to clear the concussion protocol before 1 week post accident.

I also doubt the T-wolves would risk his long term health, if he has a concussion.

I highly suspect KAT will be out for the Kings game.

I'll honestly take sickle cell over playing Durant Curry and Cousins in the playoffs...
