Where do we finish?
- Thread starter Turgenev
- Start date
I'm an optimist. Hope springs eternal. And there are always 1-2 teams expected to finish strong that don't and 1-2 teams that overachieve. I think we "overachieve" if we stay healthy.
And what the heck - might as well hope for the best in the beginning, right?

I told y'all before the season started Monk was rising with star potential. Huerter was a banger. Keegan was figured to be at least a 3nD. Barnes is basically an ice cold hitman. Sabonis and Fox already had chemistry. Coach always sounded thoughtful and knowledgeable. I knew we'd be dope as long as the team was confident. What I didn't know is that Fox would basically destroy other teams' game plans just by mastering that quick, fall-back pull-up while driving. As of now, I don't think any team in the West wants to see us.
Looking back, it seems I was measured but hopeful, figuring the Kings had the talent to do no worse than the play-in, but were more likely to make the playoffs outright as a 6th seed or better. As the current 2nd seed in the west, with the likelihood of finishing no worse than 3rd growing by the day, they've certainly managed to exceed even my most optimistic projections. What a season this has been!
I don't remember voting but can safely say no way did I expect to be this seriously good. Now convinced we are upper tier and only going to get better as other teams grow old and free agents decide Sacramento is their preferred destination.
We will finish two or three, with the Suns losing today I recon only an injury would derail us for 1st round home court advantage. Good times.

I need the Kings to advance well into the playoffs. For the first time in 8 years I will at long last return to the US, but not until May 2nd.
I imagine it will be difficult to get tickets, i’ll get my brother who lives in the Sierras to look into this but damn would it be a shame to not catch some post season action. The last time I was in Sacramento they were just breaking ground on the G1.
I’m now old and tired, sort of, Kings came to Sac when I was 25 and i’m actually pretty fit but was always terrible at basketball. Regardless, greatest game in town.
