Even after having lost two games in a row it is still true as we speak as of Jan 3 the Sacramento Kings are in the eighth spot for a playoff in the Western Conference with a record of 14-19 they’re a half game ahead of Portland and they would indeed be in the playoffs right now if the season ended today which is really phenomenal to think about.

We always talk about the Pacific Conference being so much stronger than the Eastern Conference that’s not necessarily true this year. It is true from the standpoint the Kings have the Warriors, Spurs and the Rockets at top their so strong. The number eight spot in the east is the Chicago Bulls and their at 17-18 so the lower spots in the east more competitive and a little stronger than in the Western Conference.
