What are the Sacramento Kings chances of beating San Antonio?
412735
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.

ya, i love the kings. i am a huge fan, mike bibby is the best pg besides steve nash and chauncey billups in the nba. \ni dont know how well the kings are going to do though, they have to face the spurs and allthough the spurs havent been doin too well lately, its going to be hard for the kings to beat the confence best and defending world champs, as much as i hate the spurs, its the truth. we could see and upset though, it would be great, artest says that they are getting to the second round. i love the kings and want them to go all the way! go bibby!

Mavs will lose to the Spurs.  Lot's of reasons for this, but the two most important is that Spurs have more playoff experiance and Dirk can't guard Duncan.  I believe they will play on Thursday.  Let's see what they can do.

They're only 2.5 games out of the eight seed going into tonights games so it's possible.  I don't know if they have it though.  I'd have to say no.  They're just not that good this year.

I totally agree with you! Anything OTHER than the Spurs and Pistons would be an upset in my opinion..! There are good teams; and there are great teams. S.A and Detroit are the two GREAT teams! I said it last year; and I'll say it again: Spurs over Pistons in 6-7 games. I just can't see San Antonio losing playing the way they are!

Lakers will not only beat the Suns but win the championship. With Kobe anything can happen. And now that Lamar Odom's playing at his height, Lakers are a threat. The Spurs aren't the same because Tim Duncan is not the same as he was a year ago. Dallas and Phoenix are not championship caliber teams. Laker's have a good chance of beating the western teams and come out of the west. After that they will face either Pistons or the Nets. With the Pistons, they have a little chance. But if Nets come out in the east, Lakers truly can beat them. So at the end, the Lakers in my view will win the championship and Kobe will rightfully take his place in the NBA. He is the best player in the game right now.

Yes! They tied it 3-3, which is HUGE. The series' momentum has drastically changed--and the advantage? It's now with the Spurs! Dallas had not one--but TWO chances to close them out, and they let it slip away. You have to think it is in their heads a little now after the Spurs showed such resilience...! With the Spurs playing at home, and their patented defense back, I think this series is going to be San Antonio's! =)

No they won't. There are too many better teams in front of them in the Western Conference. Likely locks for the West include San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Denver, Seattle. Which leaves the Warriors battling for the last 2 spots against LAL, Memphis and Sacramento - all of which are better teams.

I think the Spurs are somethin' special, and have to go with them! They are looking GREAT right now, and after coming back after being down 3-1 to the Mavericks; a team that caused EVERYONE trouble this year? That's not exactly easy...! They've proven they can beat the Suns (last years' playoffs is a prime example), and the Pistons and Heat are not as good as they were last year; with the Pistons showing signs of weakness against the inexperienced Cavaliers. Case in point? San Antonio all the way! The Defending Champs are the "team to beat" until beaten, and as long as they are standing they are a force to be reckoned with! =)

If the Spurs were not a championship team then it will be over. BUT since they are a championship team they can play under pressure really well. So the Spurs are going to take this round.

Spurs will win\n\nDo you think any weakness of the outcome from Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Van Exel, Finley, Barry and Honry??\n\nPIston is good, but in honest, Spurs is better

they will once the other powerhouses in the west cool down. If the time comes that San Antonio is finally not the best team in the west then they could step in. They will have to be able overcome the three potent Texas teams in order to win a championship.

Don't know... them Spurs are looking awfully good.  Detroit is playing to prove something to L.Brown (and that could mean trouble for all the other teams).  You also have Dallas... and the Kings.  Some dangerous teams out there.  Taking nothing from the Suns though, they are a young hardworking team.  They'll win it all but perhaps not this year.

I used to be a Kings fan when Webber joined the team back in '98. I followed them until they traded Cwebb and now I'm a 76ers fan. See, I go where Cwebb goes. I've been a fan of his since he was with Golden State. Anyway, the Kings made a good run this year in the playoffs. They played great against the Spurs and I thought they had a chance to win after tying the series 2-2 but they eventually lost 2-4.\n\nI watched that series and I noticed Bonzi Wells played real well and so did Ron Artest. They're big, strong players who can take it to the hole. K-Mart is going to get better but he needs to bulk up because his upper body strength is weak. Overall, their starting 5 is good. You've got Brad Miller who will give you points,assists and rebounds sort of like what Cwebb did. Then you've got Mike Bibby who's one of the most clutch PGs in the league. The bench is good and with the arrival of a new coach, the Kings seem to want to focus more on defense and that might help this team get over the hump.
