So last season wasn’t great for the Sacramento Kings, clearly. But one highlight of the year was the Kings finishing fourth in the Pacific Division. Why was that a highlight? Because the once high and mighty Los Angeles Lakers were the only team to finish below the Kings.
When I noticed that little bright spot of the Kings’ year, it had me thinking about how the Pacific Division would play out this season. So I decided to use my powers of prediction (that probably will end up terribly wrong, but hey, shooters shoot) on Sacramento’s division and
gues
s
predict the order the five Pacific teams will end up in, along with their records.
Some hints before we get going: the Kings are neither first or last, and the order is not the same as last season because that would be boring and I don’t like boring. I also don’t believe the teams will end in the same order, so that made this an easy rule to follow.
Anyway, let’s get started with the worst of the bunch and work our way towards the top of the Pacific Division:
