Do you think that the Sacramento Kings will make it to the playoffs this year?  Yes, or no and why?

I think they will, they do have a solid team, and scince they got Ron Artest they have been playing better and more as a team.  They will need some luck and they will need to play at top preformance, but they have been picking it up and i think bibby will continue to pick his game up and artest will continue to lead and everyone then will be playing harder.

The only correct answer from anybody is they do not know. It is too early in the season to give an accurate answer as to any NBA team making the playoffs right now.

I hope so. They started out 0-9 last year but then pulled it together and actually won home court advantage for the first round. Maybe they can come back from their slow start and make the playoffs again. If Tyson Chandler can keep playing the way he has the last few games they got a good shot.

New Jersey has a very good chance of advancing to the semis since they have homecourt advantage and the Pacers aren't what they used to be, but I think their luck will run out if they face the Heat in the semis.  As for Sacramento, I like to root for the underdog, but were talking about beating the San Antonio Spurs four times so I'm afraid they'll be booted out of the playoffs in four or five games (even though as a Mavs fan, it would be great if the Spurs got dethroned, but I would rather have Dallas do it than Sacramento - to earn the respect of the league.)

San Antonio won it all last year and their team hasn't changed except that they are a year older.\n\nSacramento squeaked in at the 8th slot, although they have been better than the 8th seed since Artest got there.\n\nDuncan is not as god as he has been, but...\n\nThe bottom line is, its still the same team - San Antonio is. Their interior is better than the King's, offensively and defensively, they get to the hoop better, and they have better perimeter shooting. Perimiter defense is a push, with Ginobli cancelling out Bonzi, Bowen with Artest, and Bibby with Parker. The King's do have a very good starting 5, though, so I would think they could grab a couple games and make it a six game series, but I would consider San Antonio to be a considerable favorite. What it boils down to is a deeper team, with better team defense, and a ton of deep playoff experience.

Yes, they have a good chance this season to go deep into the tourney.  It depends upon the seedings and how well they play.

After the tank-job they pulled at the tail-end of the regular season, they deserve a slap or two on the wrist, but that's beside the point.\n\nCan they do it? Win the series? Sure. They're almost done w/the Nuggets anyhow.\n\nBeyond that, I don't care, but I doubt they could beat the Lakers-Suns winner, Spurs-Mavs winner that awaits whichever conference opponent left standing, etc etc.\n\nCan the Clippers do it?\n\nIn a word buddy: Nope.

Yes, I think they'll make it but only as a 7th or 8th seed. There are many competitors and contenders in the Western Conference. Some of the things that have to work out is Bobby Jackson's health, Tyson Chandler's defensive presence, and especially Peja Stojakovic's role. He needs to step up. Last game, he had only 7 points. You and other Hornets fans will not accept that. He needs to score like he did in 03-04 (tied second in league in points per game in NBA!). Lastly, I think the team will feed off energy of the crowd. This will be a great season.

Possibly, but i would say no because the Grizzlies, without Pau Gasol suck.  They have a horrible offense, and the Kings are becoming a good defensive team with their new coach Musselman.  I think that the Kings will decide the tempo and how much points are put up.  The Grizzlies will just try keeping up with them.  It's a possibility, but I don't think they'll score that much.

I believe they have a very good chance. They were dominating the first part of the season with some excellent pitching and offense and defense. And don't worry, everybody has a slump, they bounce right back and get into the flow of things. So, yes, I believe they will make it int othe playoffs.

No way! The Kings only got "The Dime". The Spurs are gonna win in 4 or 5 games...

Only if they get past the Pistons, which I don't think they will. The Western Conference isn't as dominant as it was a couple years ago, so they have a legit shot; provided they get past their toughest opponent, Detroit.

the bulls will make the playoffs for sure this year after doing so the past two seasons...and with the way they manhandled miami in the opener i wouldnt be surprised if they go deep in the playoffs if not even win it all

If you mean ever, I think that they could.  They have a pretty good nucleus of young players.  If you mean this year...they will have trouble making the playoffs.

The Lakers are a lot better than they were last year, but I still don't see them being very competitive in the playoffs considering how good Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix and even Houston will be by the end of the season...remember, the season just began and everyone is rusty right now.\n\nAs for the Knicks, they are probably the worst team in the East this year.  Once they fire Isaiah Thomas and get a decent coach and trade away some of those ridiculous salaries, they'll end up a lot better...but it's going to take a while

I would have to agree with you 100%! It would be a fantastic series to watch, and honestly? I think any team that wants to BE the best should have to PLAY the best, too! I think this year it is going to come down to the Spurs and Heat, but it isn't a SURE THING, and I think that only adds to the fascination! The only teams that have been contested in these playoffs are the teams that have played the Spurs, and the teams that have played the Pistons. The scary part? Those two teams are STILL standing...! What will happen next? No clue! But I DO have a feeling it will be San Antonio and Phoenix in the Conference Finals...! =)
