The Kings have a great offense and team chemistry that helps them win their games. And then when the starters get fatigued, they have a bench that'll keep the offense going. But in the playoffs, you'll have teams like the Spurs with a defense that can shut your high powered offense down. I don't know if the Kings' high powered offense will be enough against those top West teams, but it should be enough to keep the games close
Every season, it seems like the Kings are the best team going into the playoffs...I attribute the fact that they can't win (in the playoffs) to fate...For a number of years, they kept drawing the Lakers in the early rounds, and at the time, L.A. was just a better team...In their last matchup, the Kings seemed to have caught up to the Lakers but they fell short by a hair...Finally, with the Lakers down last year and the Kings playing better than ever, C-Webb goes down in the playoffs...it just wasn't meant to be IMO....I just have that feeling that something is going to go wrong again this season
They seem to have defense if you ask me, they have size and power, especially once Webber comes back, Divac and Miller are great. Divac is an amazing passer. They arguably boast the currently best team chemistry in the entire league this season. I have to agree, such skill and experience from veterans. Peja, is just great, an awesome offensive force, not to mention he's good on defense too, he's pretty agile. As much as I want my Timberwolves to take it this year, I think the Kings will, they'll be giving everyone a very hard time. Not forgetting you have an awesome bench and support group, especially one of the best sixth men ever. Bobby Jackson....
The Kings have great defense in terms of field percentage allowed by opposing teams, it's just they play such a quick, uptempo offense that there are more shots going around. Their biggest trait has to be their superb offense, topping off Dallas for the best in the league, now. I only wish that Christie could be the factor he was last year on both ends of the floor - he seems to have "fallen off," so to speak, in the wake of Miller and Stojakovic.
obviously the kings lack in d... theyre offense is how they get into the playoffs... but the question is... does offense win championships or does defense?
I think their biggest problem is defense...its obvious they are the best offensive team in the league...they pass very well and have a solid motion offense...defensively, they are solid but tend to tire late in games, which means they give up big shots so that opponents have no problem staying close late...
