Are these the same idiots that said the sabonis trade was the worst in history?
We’re just excited to see our KINGS finally getting back to NBA Relevancy
LIGHT THE BEAM. LIGHT THE LEAGUE UP 🟣🔦
They'll make the second round and then get bumped off by a veteran team.
Can be. Remember what Suns did in 2021? They made it to the Finals after missing playoffs for 10 years. Mike Brown changed the culture. Do note that Mike Brown has never lost in 1st round of the playoffs.
Lakers in 5 v kings in the first round. Book it.
We don’t a give F*** who’s over there 🟣🔦
They are better than the Lakers.
Meh….. nice take. still, id rather listen to Sactown sports radio. 🦁
Where y’all see this top 10 4q defense stats?
This team bout to break some hearts
Y’all may not like small market teams and that’s ok. Because come playoff time, espn isn’t gonna have any other choice and their gonna want to talk about the Sacramento Kings. Light the beam!!!
I like how all the other team reportly say they want to play the Kings in the first round of the Finals why not just come out and sat it themselves if they are so confident they're going to beat The Kings so when they lose they can get flamed on
I think they can win a round but their defense won't be able to keep up.
4th Quarter Fox is a must watch.
I really believe that Sacramento can do some real damage in the Western Conference..I'm a Warriors fan and seeing what Sacramento is doing this year is pretty cool considering what they've been through..at least for the fans.. really diehard fanbase
Man I'm old enough to hear that question and It seems like the ramblings of an insane person…..love the year they are having
I don't see anybody in the west that is unbeatable. Murray clearly isn't going to be 100% in the playoffs so Denver's vulnerable, Phoenix has no depth and is a CP3 or KD injury away from irrelevance, GS, Memphis, Dallas and the Clippers are struggling and the new look Lakers are over rated and have a huge hill still to climb. If there was any year a team like the Kings could make a run to the conference finals this is it. As a Nuggets fan I'd love to the Nuggets and Kings in the WCF. The over/under on those games would have to be 260!
On God nobody cares about these guys’ opinion
Kings fans are going to erupt in the playoffs. 16 year drought finally over.
Scariest thing about the Kings in the playoffs is that they are a young team with nothing to lose. A lot of other teams will be worried about their star's performances and their legacies whole Sacramento can go out there playing fast and free. That's not the matchup you want. Casual fans may be blind to it but opposing players and coaches are not. That number one rated and highest scoring offense is a strategic nightmare for opponents.
They keep calling the West bad but I wonder if there's just that much parody in the league / conference…?
They can beat anyone nba finals potential
Stop sleeping on kings they will knock out Lakers western finals 7 game series
Oh now they wanna talk good about us, 16 years later….smmfh
Kings sort of feel like the Bucks did when they they got a 1 seed in Giannis' first MVP season.
Wonder how many ESPN staffers think the Kings are 12 seeds and Lakers are in 2nd.
Frankly, I'm shocked this many ESPN heads actually know the Kings are in 2nd. You'd never know it from the rest of their coverage.
The thing that impresses me the most about Sacramento is that discouragement doesn't exist in their DNA. They can be down by 10 with 2 minutes in the clock and they won't stop competing. They could lose a game or two and play the next night as if they're in a 17 game winning streak. You will rarely see them phased or discouraged and they make sure they get everyone involved. On the Lakers when they sent out Malik Monk they stuck him in the corner to shoot threes. On Sacramento when they send out Malik Monk they give him free reign to use his entire bag.
I have high hopes for playoff Heurter and this whole team. There’s no doubt we’re making a run and if they make it out it won’t be without a dog fight. People want the kings early thinking it’s going to be a cake walk. They haven’t opened their eyes because there’s a beam lighting the western conference
