Game Day: Suns (47-33) @ Kings (45-35), Fri 4/12/24
Re: Game Day: Suns (47-33) @ Kings (45-35), Fri 4/12/24
With the win, Suns can't fall any lower than 7th. Could still potentially get the 6 seed, but it requires New Orleans to lose at home to the Lakers on Sunday. Suns @ Wolves (who have every reason to try to win, given that they're still in position to possibly take the top seed in the West) and Lakers @ Pelicans both tip off at the same time as all of the games involving the West playoff teams, 12:30 Pacific.
It looks like the Lakers will have a reason to play their starters in the final game against New Orleans, given that the Warriors (home game against Utah) and Kings (home game against Portland) are likely to win their final games and could get into a tie with L.A. at 46 wins, should the Lakers drop their final game. According to stuff I'm finding online, the Kings win tiebreakers against both the Lakers and Warriors, and the possible 3-way tiebreaker as well; the Lakers also lose the potential 2-team tiebreaker against the Warriors. If the Lakers want to ensure they stay in 8th, they need to try to win.

I enjoyed the 4th quarter comeback. A little frustrating before that though.

Apparently you're allowed to smack a guys arms after the ball leaves his hands.

This was the biggest pleasant surprise tonight. If he would do that consistently, we'd be much better.

I'm glad a lot of others had to suffer through the Kings' broadcast with me.

Most games Poobanks isn't either, yet here we are.
Jones and Vogel out, Lue or Lee in, draft Tyler Kolek.
