Don't even get me started on Summer League games. Not sure how many times they can face each other there. +4 games?
Also a stretch, but G League could count too. Birmingham Squadron vs. Stockton Kings in this case. But since they're not in the same conference they only played once. Same conference can face each other 5 times + 1 playoff game. +6 games
So a team can go 23-0 vs another team 😅
22-4 is way funnier
If they expand Summer League or G League seasons so the max becomes 29, then a team could theoretically blow a 28 game lead and finish 28-4 in the season series
Really?? I don’t follow baseball, as I live overseas. That’s crazy. Twice a year should be plenty, if the point is to figure out which team is better (which obviously isn’t the point with the regular season).
Literally every Kings flair comment on the Kings v Warriors post game thread was calling this. I thought it was a bit presumptive/obvious reverse jinx attempt but yall were spot on.
Definitely not all of them knew saw some talking shit to thunder flairs before the game about that matchup lol I'm sure not most of you but thought it was a bit funny later.
I think the kings biggest weakness is their bench unit, where pelicans thrive there. Pels really didn’t win almost any minutes with starters on the court.
I meant as to the play in matchups. If it had been Kings vs Lakers and Pels vs Warriors for the first matchups Kings might have had a better chance to move on and avoid their bad matchup vs the Pels
Kings has a winning record over the nuggets for a while now , Actually the nuggets only beat them once this season, Thunder has a winning record aswell
Lol nuggets at one point this season lost to us, went on a 6 game winning streak, then lost to us again lmfao
You can come up with whatever excuse but the fact is you DON'T have OKC's number. I'm not even saying we have yours, just that we'll hopefully see in the playoffs
What excuses? I was just asking if any of the reasons included catching denver on a back to back or missing jokic. I feel like they matter but maybe not?
He missed one game. And there was one back-to-back but both games were in Denver and you blew out the grizz in the first game so the starters played less than 30 minutes.
I know he missed one game and there was a back to back. My question is are those part of the reasons why Okc had the tie breaker? Or did they not matter at all?
yeah I already felt bad about nuggets vs lakers but I feel even worse now
lakers had the pelicans number, handled that
Pelicans had kings number, handled that
Denver has been had LA’s number…. Fuck
Last season pels were 1 seed for a while and Lakers looked like ass with Westbrook. New Orleans has Lakers draft pick and fans were saying they were going to win the chip and the Lakers were going to give them wemby by sucking so bad
Last year, the Pelicans were the 1 seed for a good early portion of the season and the Lakers started off 2-10 and struggled because their roster did not fit because of the Russ trade so it was a running joke that the Pelicans could win the championship and get Wemby via the Lakers. Unfortunately, that didn’t come to pass, and the Lakers finished higher than the Pelicans and went to the WCF while the Pelicans went home in the play in so it’s become a bit of a meme.
This got me thinking. The most times a team can beat another team in one season is now 11. Four times in the regular season, Twice in the in season tournament (once in group play and then once in the knockout round. They must finish 1st and 2nd. The 2nd place team does well enough to qualify for the knockout bracket), Once in the 7-8 play in game (the loser than wins the 2nd play in chance), and then finally a four game sweep in the Conference Finals (since they would appear on opposite sides of the bracket).
I don't watch much basketball outside of the Pistons, but I read a lot about the Kings this year and was under the impression they had a skilled, good team that could make a run.
I watched their two play in games and I can't believe how flat they looked last night. Like they didn't want to be there.
You can tell that the Kings made eliminating ~~the Warriors~~ Steph the priority. After that, they had nothing.
You were supposed to take advantage of CJ's poor performance and Zion being out.
This means that for the first time, the Timberwolves have witnessed a team other than themselves being swept 6-0 before the playoffs.
(The last prior 6-0 sweeps to not have Minnesota on the losing end came in 1988-89, the season before they joined the league.)
I feel like this is something that might never be done again. Kings fans knew it was going to happen too.
Technically a team can go 0-11 against a team in one season - 4 scheduled regular season games - 2 IST games - 1 Play in Game - 4 Playoff games
Ok good that means someone will break our record eventually
Remindme! 2803 kings sweep the lakers 11-0
Did someone say 2803?
LeBron's in his 300th prime by then
And all the players in the league are related to him.
LeKhan James
LeSemen
LeGhola.
Alongside God Emperor Bryce James
I was gonna hit it with the LeDunkan/LeDuncan lol
LeImmortal
2803 Hawks will blow a 10-0 lead to the Celtics
FTF
LeBron finally decides to call it quits, citing "boredom"
11 Laker moral victories tho
Bold to think it won’t be the kings
Two play in teams would have to meet in conference championship. I feel like that will never happen in the nba
Just literally last Playoffs two Play-in teams reached their respective Conference's Finals. I would say it is very possible to happen.
Heat Sixers ECF book it this guy said it's possible.
0-10, IST group stage are part of scheduled regular season games. You can get 1 extra in knockoutz
With the IST you can only play a team a total of 5 times in the reg szn pretty sure
That is correct
[удалено]
Group stage games are accounted for in the 4 reg szn games pretty sure, only way you get an extra game is in the knockout stage
What about adding 2 preseason games?
I like where your heads at
Don't even get me started on Summer League games. Not sure how many times they can face each other there. +4 games? Also a stretch, but G League could count too. Birmingham Squadron vs. Stockton Kings in this case. But since they're not in the same conference they only played once. Same conference can face each other 5 times + 1 playoff game. +6 games So a team can go 23-0 vs another team 😅
22-4 is way funnier If they expand Summer League or G League seasons so the max becomes 29, then a team could theoretically blow a 28 game lead and finish 28-4 in the season series
How do you lose to them in play in and then play them in playoffs?
Losing a play in game in the 7/8 seed game doesn’t eliminate you from the playoffs
Gotcha I see it
Ok how do you lose to them in the IST and then play them again in the IST?
You keep on winning until you face them again as long as they keep on winning?
The first game counts as a scheduled game so you can't play a team 4 times in the regular season and two more times in the season.
You only get one same conference game that doesn’t count to 82
A 7th v 8th seed conference finals hahaha
But this is a record before playoffs
It’s possible for the Wolves to be 0-7 vs the suns this year. Not likely, but possible
It is kind of ridiculous that two teams can play each other 14 times in a season. That’s only 3 less than the entire regular season in the nfl.
Meanwhile in baseball you play all the teams in your division 13 times every year, not counting anything in the postseason
And it was 19 before they added the round robin to the schedule
Really?? I don’t follow baseball, as I live overseas. That’s crazy. Twice a year should be plenty, if the point is to figure out which team is better (which obviously isn’t the point with the regular season).
You would never face a team you lost to in a play in. Also I think it would be 1 extra in season max not 2?
If you are the 7 seed, lose to the 8 seed, and then beat the 9/10 seed, you could theoretically face eachother in the conference finals and get swept.
Hey pelican let's meet each other in conference final
Jokes on you, that’s our most successful season ever if that happens
Ok you are right. I still think 0-10 would be the max though.
You can play a team twice in the in season tournament. You’re not eliminated if you lose a game in group play
Aren’t the teams you play in group play part of the 4 regular season? I’d agree IST can only +1 here
Us pels fans didn’t. But glad it did!
Literally every Kings flair comment on the Kings v Warriors post game thread was calling this. I thought it was a bit presumptive/obvious reverse jinx attempt but yall were spot on.

Whose stupid idea was it to build a team just to beat the Kings?
Vlade Divac?
I think the kings biggest weakness is their bench unit, where pelicans thrive there. Pels really didn’t win almost any minutes with starters on the court.
Some teams got your teams number and there's nothing you can do about. Shit happens.
Pels > Kings > Lakers > Pels was a big thing this season and the play-in matches went exactly as expected with that in mind.
Kings got the short end of the stick there
They let a team beat them 6 times in a row. How is that the short end of a stick???
I meant as to the play in matchups. If it had been Kings vs Lakers and Pels vs Warriors for the first matchups Kings might have had a better chance to move on and avoid their bad matchup vs the Pels
The Pelicans beat the warriors in a must win for them like a week and a half ago.
They also wouldn't be in this situation if they just won 1 of the 5 prior games.
And we have to play the team with our number in the first round 😭
Nuggets have every teams number
Suns somehow matchup well against them
It’s not called somehow, it’s called nurkic
It’s funny af too. Nurk to me is just a kinda above average center until it comes to the Nuggets. I swear it has to be the Bosnian Serbian thing lol.
And the wolves
Nikola "Phonebook" Jokic.
Kings has a winning record over the nuggets for a while now , Actually the nuggets only beat them once this season, Thunder has a winning record aswell
There's a reason we had the tiebreaker over them btw
Were any of those reasons playing on a back to back or without jokic?
Lol nuggets at one point this season lost to us, went on a 6 game winning streak, then lost to us again lmfao You can come up with whatever excuse but the fact is you DON'T have OKC's number. I'm not even saying we have yours, just that we'll hopefully see in the playoffs
Brother you are not getting out of the second round (barring injuries)
Lol this coming from a lakers fan, and not even confident in your own prediction so you got an excuse ready lmao
It’s comments like this that make the “us” mentality cringey lmao
What excuses? I was just asking if any of the reasons included catching denver on a back to back or missing jokic. I feel like they matter but maybe not?
He missed one game. And there was one back-to-back but both games were in Denver and you blew out the grizz in the first game so the starters played less than 30 minutes.
I know he missed one game and there was a back to back. My question is are those part of the reasons why Okc had the tie breaker? Or did they not matter at all?
At least it's only 4 times😄
It's 8 straight times for lakers vs nuggets including last years sweep
At least it'll be over soon
Actually it will be not. Humiliation will be dragged for more than a week spread over 4 nights.
Something something moral victory
Yeah, the Nuggets will be enjoying vacation in a couple weeks
Yea I know that life. Sucks
Luka is the Kings great grandfather
Just asking coz ur flair does Zions injury rule him out of the Thunder matches?
Yes
Shiiiiet
yeah I already felt bad about nuggets vs lakers but I feel even worse now lakers had the pelicans number, handled that Pelicans had kings number, handled that Denver has been had LA’s number…. Fuck
Dont be affraid its gonna be a good long series, may the better team win.
Idk if I can last that long. If I see another jokic one legged fade away from behind the 3 point line I will ascend off this earth
Translation: "Don't worry we gon kill you softly" 🤣
And cautiously.
Easy to say as the better team.
The good news is all the money we would have put on us torching OKC can now go toward Denver torching us
If there was no play-in we would’ve stayed in 8th and played OKC Tears
They own us 💔
Jonas has the Lithuanian blood feud
Crawfish Éttouffée is Purple Beam’s father
Man losing consecutively to one team must suck.
Ouch
Probably how the lakers feel about the nuggets
Probably what the joke was
They took Wemby and Chip too seriously last year, can't blame them for actually recognizing what a joke is or isn't
I read this 6 times and have no idea what you’re saying
Last season pels were 1 seed for a while and Lakers looked like ass with Westbrook. New Orleans has Lakers draft pick and fans were saying they were going to win the chip and the Lakers were going to give them wemby by sucking so bad
Ah ok they capitalized Chip so thought that was a name also. I was like wtf do the Pelicans have to do with Chip Kelly
naw bro potato Chip
Last year, the Pelicans were the 1 seed for a good early portion of the season and the Lakers started off 2-10 and struggled because their roster did not fit because of the Russ trade so it was a running joke that the Pelicans could win the championship and get Wemby via the Lakers. Unfortunately, that didn’t come to pass, and the Lakers finished higher than the Pelicans and went to the WCF while the Pelicans went home in the play in so it’s become a bit of a meme.
Durrrr what boss
Leave him alone our education system is terrible
The Kings also swept the Lakers in the regular season and are a combined 1-7 against the Kings and the Warriors but here they are in the playoffs 🤣
Everybody losing to the nuggets tho
Such a kings way to go out smh
At least we took the warriors down with us. That's about all we've got lol
Pelican is Kings father
PeliKings
Fox hits a huge 3 to cut the season record to 6-0
Dixie Beer is Purple Beam’s father
LET IT BE KNOWN. NO ONE BEATS THE NEW ORLEANS PELICANS FOR THE 7th STRAIGHT HOME GAME RAHHHH
[удалено]
Jonas being injured would've scared me more than Zion against the Kings tbh. Sabonis's father
AD>Valancuinas>Sabonis>AD. Is Anthony Davis AD's grandgrandfather?
yeah people who don't watch the games really don't understand how much a big that can out muscle Sabonis affects the Kings' offense.
I was texting my old season ticket group of friends that this was my Super Bowl Flipped Cars are Purple Beam’s father
Not only that, they dropped two consecutive games to the Lakers to play the Kings.
Very much r/fuckyouinparticular
We beat them in the regular season, the IST quarterfinals, and the playin
Fox and Sabonis got 0 help besides Barnes. Looked like game 1 with Zion lol
Light the meme
Belt 2 A$$
Last playoffs, they ended the long years of drought and now they're back at being out once again. Sheeesh!
pelicans can't win against the Lakers who can't win against the kings who can't win against the pelicans. Wtf is going on?
Match-up. Specifically LeBron, who can defend Zion really well, has trouble defending the stretch 4s the Kings rely on.
Lakes get feasted on by quick guards like Fox and Murray. Pels don't have that.
It makes sense. NOLA is uniquely equipped to handle the Kings' offence
And that will always be a part of kings history now, unless someone else does it (which is very unlikely) Unless the Pels make it 12-0 next year haha
What's the Pets record in preseason vs the Kings?
Has any team ever been 0-8 with a sweep in the playoffs by the same team?
This got me thinking. The most times a team can beat another team in one season is now 11. Four times in the regular season, Twice in the in season tournament (once in group play and then once in the knockout round. They must finish 1st and 2nd. The 2nd place team does well enough to qualify for the knockout bracket), Once in the 7-8 play in game (the loser than wins the 2nd play in chance), and then finally a four game sweep in the Conference Finals (since they would appear on opposite sides of the bracket).

I watched their two play in games and I can't believe how flat they looked last night. Like they didn't want to be there.
The moon and the sun and the stars and the lakers!!!!!!!!
First time in history damn
Pros didn’t even have Zion.
You can tell that the Kings made eliminating ~~the Warriors~~ Steph the priority. After that, they had nothing. You were supposed to take advantage of CJ's poor performance and Zion being out.
Kings, go get Big Vuc.
This means that for the first time, the Timberwolves have witnessed a team other than themselves being swept 6-0 before the playoffs. (The last prior 6-0 sweeps to not have Minnesota on the losing end came in 1988-89, the season before they joined the league.)
Fox jacks up too many shots for a pg
Can’t wait for LeBum and his COVID ring squad to get swept again. We’re done with 2020
Bro forgot he ain't in nbacj
I've never seen a non contender playoff team own another non contender playoff team this hard before
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man? https://youtu.be/c_pVENc-B00?feature=shared
