Yeah but I would rather enjoy watching the Lakers slap him around.

The Kings home arena is electric. Assuming they advance past the first round, they're going to need it against Memphis. I can see why they try for as high a seed as possible.

Also, I wonder if they specifically want to draw the Lakers.



Maybe they see it as their chance to finally knock us out of the playoffs. It would give their team and fans incredible momentum should they move forward. It would be like winning the ring for them, without winning it.

I hope they go for it at their peril. Sending the kings packing, again, would be so fitting the first year they get back into the playoffs.

Kings won 3 of 4 so they probably feel confident with Lakers matchup. They will not beat the Warriors if Warriors are at full strength.

2 of the 3 were super close and 2 of them without AD, 1 without LBJ. they haven't played the team after trade deadline. what exactly are they confident about?

Plot twist…we lose because Ham doesn’t know how to game plan for a new opponent starting bench players.

he certainly didn't know how to handle Norman Powell and Bones last game, and that's why we lost.

KD, Devin Booker, CP3, and Deandre Ayton all OUT tonight vs Lakers.

There is no excuse for the Lakers to not dominate this game, none.

Anything less than a double digit win then Ham should be fired before the playoffs start

Ugh, if only we had won the Clippers game, we would have gotten the #6 seed.

The pre trade deadline Lakers would be the betting underdogs against this version of the Suns

Kings have been the better team this year so they should be confident. And just being honest, the Warriors are more formidable if they have everyone.

The suns aren't so petty and reckless that they'd compromise their playoff hopes by playing KD, Booker, CP3 on a b2b. That's called due diligence

If the Lakers play their cards right, they should win this one easily.
