WISH 5: Playoff Basketball
The Sacramento Kings last appeared in the NBA playoffs in 2006 and they were bounced in the 1st round by the San Antonio Spurs. It has been a long 10 years since then, but I am hopeful the Kings can make it back to the playoffs this season.
I know that most of you are skeptical, but the 8th spot in the Western Conference is wide open this year and if the season ended today (December 24th) the Sacramento Kings would be the 8th seed. It would mean a date with the Golden State Warriors in the 1st round, but just making the playoffs would be a big positive step under 1st year Head Coach Dave Joerger.
Fun Fact: Coach Joerger has been a Head Coach for three previous NBA seasons and has made the playoffs in every season.
This wish is possible and if I could only have one of my wishes this would be the one for me. Here is to hoping the Kings made it a reality this season.
