Thats to high especially with a team lacking real inside presense.

Entity said:we won 44 last year without artest and 7 games under .500 until he got there. So 8 more wins is not inconcievable.

So in you're mind we're not a playoff team currently?
Ummm here's a new one - our front line needs a change. If not----
Definitely Can't beat:
Clippers
Lakers
Suns
Mavs
Spurs
Probably can't beat
Hornets
Utah
Denver
If Artest keeps the same perfect attitude:
#8 Seed
The Jazz have a team that is in a weak division hence the 3rd seed. They will win the division imo but barely be above .500. As for the 8th spot I think it will be us, the Lakers, and Denver fighting for it. Ig you want to make it a bit more interesting take the 7th seed, and throw us in the mix with Memphis, Lakers, and Denver. If we could get 6th and face the Nuggs, or Jazz that would be awesome. That means in the second round we would face Phoenix, or the Clippers. We should be 7th-10th though, and only getting that high based on heart alone. 7th beaing if K-Mart develops into my sig below next year.
45-50 depending on health and inside play.
Rules have changed this year -- Division winners and best non-division winner are still the Top 4 seeds, but they are ranked by W/L now. So if the winner of the NW really is the weakest of the 4 teams, it will end up as the #4 seed.
Brick, since you bring alot of knowledge to the board i'm wondering were you stat the Kings right now currently?
Look at it this way, one game after getting artest we were 18 and 26 (18-26). and we fought back to get to the 8th seed, now were starting with basically the same team, minus bonzi + slamons, and i think sar will be back to his normal weight and conditioning wise he should be better. So it's hard for me to see how we wont be pretty damn good, starting off at 0-0, instead of last year where the season really started at 18-26. IMO
Rarely works that way though. Look at Denver the year before.
It might, but more likely we had a bit of a false high there with Artest and of course momentum. Much harder to sustain over a full year. Not to mention the roster and coaching turnover.
