NBA Season 2018 - 2019

Sixers win! The chance for the #4 seed lives another day!

Win-win for us either way. Now we're 1 game back of both the Sixers and Pacers. Just keep pace at this point, and then see in the final few weeks where the playoff picture stands before deciding to win or "tank" games. We're better off with a 4 seed facing 5th seeded IND then MIL as opposed to playing DET, then Toronto (which would be the case if we get the 3 seed).

Small sample size for my eyes...
but not too impressed with Sabonis' IQ in the Philly game.
If I were watching him play like that for the Celtics I'd be frustrated...
too much plodding and ball holding as he struggles towards the hoop against good defending bigs...bailed out on a clear offensive foul too.

The Grizzlies just beat the Magic. A bummer for the Grizzlies pick, and for the Kings pick(Magic not far behind the Kings).

I can’t really say we can go wrong on the Griz pick.  C’s get 9 this year or it rolls over.  Pretty good either way.

The Spurs uniforms are crazy ugly!

The Spurs are making a little room between the Kings and themselves!

Sixers LOSE to the Bulls.

Pacers play the Bucks tomorrow.

A win tonight would be huge for both Kings Pick AND seeding purposes.

Now 1.5 back of PHI for the 4 seed and if IND loses in about 22 hours from now, we’ll be 2 games back of the 3 seed 

I think we want to root for Philly at this point, y'all. A 4 seed against Indy would be ideal, and put us against Milwaukee in the second round, whom we match up well with.

Fair point. Either way a 5 seed isn’t ideal in any scenario so moving up is preferable

While I don’t want to drop games, I’m perfectly fine staying away from the 3 seed even though it’s well within grasp. Ideally we get the 4/5 matchup against Indy, leaving us with Milwaukee in the second round. I’d prefer to delay Toronto as long as possible, or best-case scenario Philly knocks them off (doubtful).

Of the top-4, I think Toronto is the biggest threat. They are a tough matchup and Kawhi is harder to game plan for than Giannis or Embiid.

Amen.

I'd rather face them than Milwaukee-think we match up better against them for some reason.

Finally somebody understand Kawhi Leonard is not like Giannis or Embiid... Kawhi is complete if you clog the paint he'll shoot jumpers all day and unlike Giannis and Embiid Kawhi is a **** machine, he's also smart he'll read the defense and make the right plays...

The Spurs made him what he is a born champion then they gave their precious baby to Toronto because nobody wants LA to win!!!

Hey Somebody understands it, what're you talking about?

Huge Implication Game for us, Kings at Wizards.  A Kings loss helps our pick and may be enough to keep them out of the playoffs, in which case LAC 1st will convey... a Wiz win gives the Memphis pick a tiny cushion to stay 6-7th worst.

Wiz up 10 over Kings after 1st

Wiz up 10 over Kings after 1st

And now the Kings up 1 at the half, after starting the game 4 of 20.

It’s ridiculous how lucky this team is. It would be poetic justice to land the #2 pick from the #14 lottery spot just to even things out.

[Vox_Populi]

Toronto just got absolutely worked by the Cavs.

[Neurotic Guy]

Nice 2nd half lead now blown by the Wizards.  Wiz up 1 with about 2 minutes left

[Neurotic Guy]

Wiz hanging in there! Up 4 a minute to go.

Good win for the Sac pick!   Thanks Wizards
