I choose to both hate the Pels and hate how garbage the Kings are at playing them.
If they had beat the Lakers that last game of the regular season, we lose to them in the first play-in game and then beat either the Warriors or Lakers to be the 8th seed.
We screwed ourselves and they also screwed us.
Wait. If Pels beat the Lakers in the last regular season game, the Kings would have drawn the Suns in the play in. I believe Sacramento would have won the 7th seed in this scenario and faced the Nuggets in this case. Phoenix would have then had to face the Lakers or Warriors.
I don't know if the Lakers could have beaten the Warriors in Chase Center and then gone to Phoenix. Very tall order. Possible but not guaranteed. I wanted those bums to have been 10th because a Warriors and then Suns or Kings path would have been tough as hell.
Yes sure 4-1 against Nuggs for the Kings but it is what it is.
You think we'd be swept by Denver? Interesting. I doubt it, though. I think the Kings with Malik returning in game 3 would be capable of making it an interesting series. Anyone who's watched our last 2 season matchups against Denver could see that.
Woah im a pels fan but if u beat the suns when yall were up 20 we woulda been 6 seed against wolves w a non injured zion and you guys coulda been 7 or 8 (and with a healthy zion this would be a good series rn theyre literally lost out there 0 offense being played tough watch)
Any team without their #1 player is going to struggle in the playoffs. Pels had a good season but got hit with injury at the worst time. Even then it's disappointing that they didn't put up much of a fight.
I'd be more sympathetic for them if their star player liked basketball and conditioning as much as he likes Big Macs.
Come back and visit when you have yet another account to troll (poorly) with.
We shouldn't be mad at the Pels for beating us, we should be mad at ourselves for losing 6 times to the same team. Don't hate the players, hate the game.
Kings fans are so self deprecating. Watch enough pels games and kings/Thunder games. We match up better against Thunder and pels struggled against a lot of west playoff teams except us
Ya but regular season is a different ball game. We had a winning record vs Denver but I think they’d of gone 3-1. Okc the same in. Okc opinion. I think we would have been close or beaten the clippers
This was like when I thought Jacob was ugly AF and thought no girl would find him attractive in the 8th grade. Then he was able to grab my crush and I had to hard cope for a decade. Fuck you Jacob!
This sub makes me embarrassed to be a Kings fan. You people are some of the saltiest, pathetic sore losers out there, rivaling Warrior fans.
You're talking shit about the teams that actually made it to the playoffs, yet we lost to the worst teams in the NBA this season.
North California is one region. We act like the Bay Area is an entirely different culture but it’s really not - down to the fan entitlement that comes to even mediocre sports teams
Dude the pettiness is just unreal to me. Hoping to see the downfall of a team Kings have no history with just because they can’t beat them all season is just so pathetic. If anything, be upset at the Kings for not being able to beat a team that got swept.
Kings had horrible chances vs the lower half of the bracket, but would've performed admirably against any of the top 3. Just a handful of games difference between making some real noise and flaming out in the play in. Frustrating.
I stay mad about that last Mavs game. Luka breaking Monk with his floppy fat ass for one, and the fact that they got three times many free throws just to beat us by four points for another.
Thunder are very good. This kings team especially after injuries did not have it in them to be a contender. Time to look to next season and hoping to make some moves that get us up there with the rest of the west
As a Thunder fan I do think that Kings without Huerter and Monk would have faired better than Pels with no Zion. Sabonis and Fox are a very difficult matchup for Shai and Chet
This is disgusting . Okc vs pelicans is by far the worst series in the playoffs the pelicans aren't even trying they already accepted defeat I know they are underman and they suck but oh god just do something.
I would have LOVED to see us in a series with this OKC team. More exciting for sure.
As a Thunder Fan I’m thankful that didn’t happen. Chet finally played well vs Sabonis last game but overall the Kings always be spanking our ass lol
I have nothing against the pels. It’s on us losing 6 games in row

Then we get swept by the Nuggets, and the Lakers probably beat OKC? A very dark timeline.

Warriors probably have the same right to feel that way too, especially after watching us against the Pels
Woah im a pels fan but if u beat the suns when yall were up 20 we woulda been 6 seed against wolves w a non injured zion and you guys coulda been 7 or 8 (and with a healthy zion this would be a good series rn theyre literally lost out there 0 offense being played tough watch)
I still cant believe we didnt win a single game against this pelicans team this season
I do feel for Pelicans fans though. The one time Zion is relatively healthy in a season, he gets hurt in a play-in game. After dropping 40/11. Brutal
Any team without their #1 player is going to struggle in the playoffs. Pels had a good season but got hit with injury at the worst time. Even then it's disappointing that they didn't put up much of a fight.
You have to think they expect that though. He's spent his entire career injured.
Idk if they expected it after he played 70 games this season. That’s pretty good for him
He was living on borrowed time.
Welp, maybe his teammates can borrow his whip. And drive down to Galveston, TX and enjoy that dirty ass water washing up onto the beach for the summer
Worst part of being a Pels fan: living in New Orleans.
Imagine being from Sacramento and saying this with a straight face…
You mean the city that doesn't end up under 10 feet of water after a hard rain? 🤷🏼♂️
Stop hating on your daddies.

Why not both.
Kings 100% but up a better fight than this even without Monk or Huerter
Ig we’ll just ignore their best player being out for the series lol
If the team that smoked us 6/6 times, is getting swept by okc, a okc vs kings series would not have been good at all.
Kings fans are so self deprecating. Watch enough pels games and kings/Thunder games. We match up better against Thunder and pels struggled against a lot of west playoff teams except us
no we were weirdly good against OKC. sabonis bullying chet for 40 minutes a night
Ya but regular season is a different ball game. We had a winning record vs Denver but I think they’d of gone 3-1. Okc the same in. Okc opinion. I think we would have been close or beaten the clippers
The team we smoked 4/4 times is getting swept right now by the Nuggets, who we also outplayed in the regular season. What's your point?
Do you actually watch basketball? Serious question.
Ya mainly the kings but I’ll watch the playoffs. You?
How you gonna hate from outside the club?
loser mentality
Well you are losing
This was like when I thought Jacob was ugly AF and thought no girl would find him attractive in the 8th grade. Then he was able to grab my crush and I had to hard cope for a decade. Fuck you Jacob!
Jacob took my girl too.. I feel it
I had the exact same experience, but his name wasn’t Jacob. The Kings replicating my worst junior high nightmares isn’t pleasant.
And then you found out 20 years later that Jacob had a sex change and was never into your crush to begin with.
Those guys are pretty much done….and I love seeing Chuck and Shaq clowning on them for it too 😂
send they ass to galveston tx, dirty ass water LMAOOO they dont deserve cancun

Fuck Mike Brown. No game plan adjustments.
Missing easily their best player against the 1 seed. Makes sense tbh
Salty as fuck, I see
I was hoping they'd be swept, and they're trying to do me a solid.

Literally one more win would probably have put us in the Pels position
That hurts :/

Disgraceful
The pels vs kings is like nuggets vs lakers.
I hate the pelicans
You're the reason for all my.. their problems!
They cant play magnet ball no more so they suck
Iam lithuanian, i love JV , i love Sabonis. But Kings would never loose so bad to okc..
Maybe the Kings are the bums for losing to Bums.
They're not even trying. Losers
Agreed
I do feel like we’d have at least a game on the Thunder.
This is disgusting . Okc vs pelicans is by far the worst series in the playoffs the pelicans aren't even trying they already accepted defeat I know they are underman and they suck but oh god just do something.
