GT #76: Kings @WIZ 7pm 4/2/2025 

Post#1 » by BearlyBallin » Wed Apr 2, 2025 5:07 pm

A Wizards loss would mean the 76’ers can not finish the season with a record lower than Washington. Leaving only the Pelicans & Hornets with a chance to pass the Wizards in losses.

The Jazz having lost to the Hornets are 1 ahead of the Wizards in the loss column.

The Kings have lost 6 of their last 7 games. I don’t think their fans were expecting this after they acquired LaVine & traded Fox.

Currently in 10th place in the West & looking at going on the road into the playin. Some King fans are throwing in the towel for this season and looking at draft position. Fortunately I don’t believe the Kings are ready to go all in & tank yet.

Let’s hope for a Kings win!

The wizards can still finished tied or ahead of UT
by losing out. We have one more game to play
than they have. We have to out-tank and lose
to the 6ers. The rest of our games we should
lose even if we weren't tanking.

Sacramento is in 10th place, one game ahead of Phoenix. Fans may want them to tank, but players aren't going to tank if they're this close to the playoffs.

Also, Sacramento is really good at dispatching awful teams. Their collective record against Utah, Charlotte, Washington and New Orleans is 9-1. They should win comfortably.

I'm not going out on a limb to suggest Sarr will get severely bullied tonight.

View of the arena shows how completely empty it is.

Wow Poole layup driving through the Kings defense and beating the buzzer at the half. Wizards lead. 55 - 52

I presume they want to tank, so how is Keefe going to make that happen when they're up 14 going into the 4th quarter?

On the positive side, Sarr, Bub and AJ showing promise.

Gill got the tanking memo- might be too little too late.

All our starters shooting 50% plus at the moment. When was the last game that happened for this team?

Nice to see the young guys doing well but our tank needs a jump start.

Are they tanking? Or do they just have no idea how to close a game?

Well JT taking a three is not something I would have suspected of killing the tank
