On the bright side if we do miss we get one more shot at the lotto to load up for a run next year
Even if we made the playin if we don't actually win our way in don't we get put in the lotto? Maybe the NBA gods would actually reward a team that tried.

The Spurs are the NBA embodiment of the “call an ambulance… but not for me” meme.

Best of all possible outcomes would be making the play-in, beating the Lakers in the 9/10 game, losing game 2, and winning the lotto

Feb 11th, 2022:
(7) Wolves lose to the Bulls.
Wolves defense completely crumbled against the Bulls. DeRozan might be the best basketball player in the world this month.
(8)Clippers: Off
(9) Lakers: LOL
(10) Pelicans: Off
(11) Trailblazers: Off
(12) Spurs beat Atlanta 136-121.
the Spurs leapfrog the Kings in the standings via win percentage on the back of a commanding win over the Atlanta Hawks. DeJounte Murray has an absolute monster game to back up him getting named an all-star with 32 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists, and 4 steals with only one turnover. Gregg Popovich refuses to tank.
(13) Kings: Off
All in all, not a great night if you're team play-in. I think the Spurs and Blazers are tanking but they both won their first games post-trade deadline so who the hell knows and they're both ahead of the Kings right now in the standings.
Current Standings (Feb 11th, 2022)
7. Minnesota Timberwolves 29-27
8. Los Angeles Clippers 27-30
9. Los Angeles Lakers 26-30
10. New Orleans Pelicans 22-33
---
11. Portland Trailblazers 22-34
12. San Antonio Spurs 21-35 (+1)
13. Sacramento Kings 21-36 (-1)
Tomorrow is a big day for the standings as pretty much every team in the running is going to play (two of them against each other).
Sacramento @ Washington 4pm Pacific
Portland vs. New York 2pm Pacific
San Antonio @ New Orleans 4pm Pacific
LA Clippers @ Dallas 5:30 Pacific
La Lakers @ Golden State 5:30 Pacific
Big day. Just keep winning.

The way I see it, if the Kings take care of their own business over their last 24 games, they will make the playoffs! 
I think the goal should be to get to 40 wins. Go 18 Wins, 6 Losses over the last 24 games and we should be in the 8th, or 9th spot at the end of the regular season. With that type of momentum, we should be able to win one or two of the play in games to get into the playoffs!

The Lakers’ dumpster fire is hilarious.
Sad Lakers are the best Lakers.
I think the 9 seed is wide wide open too. I don't see a way out for the Lakers unless they just straight up send Russ home and don't play him. And I doubt they'll even be winners in the buy-out market; who the hell would want to join that dumpster fire?
That's assuming AD and LeBron can make it the next 25 games without getting hurt or missing any extended amount of time.

Because only one of these teams has Sabonis and Fox, bitches!

Well, he did say he had been drinking and the post has numbers in it, so I think we are just reading the thoughts of an optimistic, tipsy Captain.
