On the Sacramento Kings podcast with Charlie O the Kings are hanging on by a thread in their playoff hopes. They are 2-3 in their last five games and that hasn’t helped them. We talked about this when they got into this five game stretch and they had two games with Denver one at home and one on the road. The Kings really hoped to see that they could win both of those games knowing how their playing on the road in Denver is so difficult.

They did it and pulled it off and they won both of those games and what we talked about it and what the Kings needed to do is to steal one of those big games at home. The Kings had San Antonio, LA Clippers and then Oklahoma City. The problem was they weren’t able to steal one of those games. That became a real problem and in none of those games they got all that close to winning one of those games. If they can come out of there 3-2 in a five game stretch they would be in much better position. The Kings are on a four game road trip which starts on Wednesday in Memphis then Thursday in Dallas, Saturday in San Antonio, and Monday the 7th in New Orleans.
