After tonight’s sole non-20-plus-point-blowout, the Sacramento Kings are now on a two-game win streak - and are at risk of ensuring the Utah Jazz keep their pick as a result with them both being tied for the 4th best odds in the lottery with a shared record of 21-57.

Without said win, the Jazz had a marginal chance to give the OKC Thunder the 9th pick in this year’s draft if they fell from 5th to 9th (Their pick is Top 8 protected).

They remind me so much of the Warriors fans.

They don’t care about the state of their team. They will support them regardless. Just wish they got much more competent ownership. That 23 team was so much fun.

The Pelicans final few minutes of that game was absurdly bad. Not just missing, but mistake after mistake. Don’t use the 2 for 1 opportunity, go for 2 down 3 with a few seconds left (and get blocked at that), some bad fouls, etc.

I would like them to continue winning. If they do, Maxime basically steals the last first team all rookie spot from Ace, but I’m fine with that if the Jazz can leap to the 4th best lottery odds

mauro_membrere | Kings

Nah man your pick will be 9th for okc

Why would Ace ever be contending for all rookie first team

FERFreak731 | Jazz

1 | 3 hours ago

He is a 17, 5, and 2, with a steal and a block in his last 36 games. He’s certainly having a great season and makes all rookie first team most years

The last spot is open after Dylan, VJ, Cooper, and Kon locked in the first 4 spots

gdk_dinkleberg | Nets

2 | 3 hours ago

He’s averaging 13.⁶⁄₄.¹⁄₁.8 on 53.6% ts

All rookie doesn’t care about your stats in the last 36 games

I don’t like either of them but raynaud deserve it more than ace

Nervous_Box_3495 | Jazz

dude if you wanna talk stats and deserving ace has better stats than maxime lol. i genuine encourage you to watch ace’s highlight reel is ridiculous. call me biased but you gotta watch. blind hating is so dumb.

gdk_dinkleberg | Nets

2 | 3 hours ago

Maxime is averaging 12.¹⁄₇.⁴⁄₁.3 on 61.5% ts which is better

Also the fact ur telling me to watch ace’s highlights so ill agree with you is hilarious, like no im not only gonna watch the plays he looks cool to evaluate him, im gonna watch all his plays including the lowlights which are a lot more common for ace

It was actually Keegan and Sabonis being hurt for like 90% of the season. They’ve logged in zero minutes together.

Zach Lavine being hurt actually helped us win more.

That’s very possible but it’s still better to head into the lottery with the best odds available. I’m not counting on anything. Pacers have terrible luck in these types of scenarios but it’s the only joy a fan can get in a miserable season. Imagine winning games right now when you don’t want to. Oh shit, I’m sorry.

The Sacramento Kings are on a 2-game win streak.
