The Kings beat the Mavs to take the 8th spot in the west. Unfortunately I didnt get a chance to watch the whole game tonight, based on what I saw at the end of the first half, im sure it was a great game to watch. While there is still 19 games to go for the Kings, do you think they can make the playoffs? And if so, how high do you think they will go?
At this point im certain the Kings will make the playoffs. It seems as though all the Kings need to do to make the playoffs is outplay the Jazz and Hornets for the remainder of the season. Judging from the Kings consistent play lately id say their chances are pretty damn good. I mean the Kings just beat the #1 seed in the west while only scoring 85 points. Defense and rebounding have looked great and when the Kings get their offense to click along with those two aspects they look unstoppable. Im amazed at how Artests presence has changed this team and how they have finally developed some chemistry, thanks to Adelman trusting Thomas and Martin as starters. I think the Kings will ultimately finish as the #7 seed and will most likely exit the 1st round in a competitive series with PHX. Thank god this season didnt go down the tank...
If Ron Artest was traded to Sacramento earlier in the season, he would be a legit MVP canidate. His impact has been unbelievable.
