    I never understood the idea of avoiding a tough opponent in Rd.1

    We don't hang banners of making the Western Conference Finals like the Clippers.

    Championship or bust. Bring on the Nuggets.

    imagine ending your playoffs by being swept by the nuggets, then start your playoffs by getting swept by the Nuggets.

    No it is a b**** move and other fans and the media will call it out forever if we especially ducked teams on purpose. I don’t care what other teams in other leagues do. I don’t respect them and I would lose a lot of respect for the Lakers if they tried to duck Denver. Leave that to the lesser franchises.

    And Denver beating us isn’t a forgone conclusion. They couldn’t beat us in 2020 now they can with largely the same team. A few balls fall differently this season or last year’s playoffs and we would have won.

    What ? what difference does it make? You didn’t win the trophy either way.Trying to avoid the inevitable is a cowardly move

    I don’t care ! I already have low expectations from this team ( as long as LeBron is on the Roster ) I’ll be watching the LA KINGS playoffs over Lakers . I just think it’s bad and devastating for LeBronS ego to get swept by Denver, and after Denver sweeps us their fans will probably chase our bus and try to burn it down . If we are going to go out we should go out quietly rather than another bombshell of Denver ending our season

    And what if we lose to GS or Sacto. You do not tank a play-in game, you do not leave yourself a one game win or go home game where anything can happen, especially not against Steph. You beat the Pelicans and you take your chances with Denver, if they’re going to beat us better we find out early, and better we face them as fresh as possible.

    And they want to avoid EDM so what’s wrong with that ? Is that a b**** move ? But hey Atleast KINGS will lose 4-2. Getting swept by Den again is embarrassing

    We aren’t going to lose against NO on purpose. As one of our commentators I think said post game that’s just an affront to the basketball gods and too risky a move considering we’ve gotten killed by both the Kings and Warriors this season.

    That said Tuesday is going to be a hard one. It’s tough to beat a good team twice in a row on their home floor. Adjustments will be made and AD is most likely not at 100%. Back spasms are debilitating. So we’ll see.

    Every single Kings fans want to avoid EDM. I am truly surprised it’s totally different on here .

    I am sorry guys I am just having a hard time taking a play in team seriously. I honestly think this Play in BS is stupid . 1-8 seeding is the way it should be.
