San Antonio has home court....so lets talk about home/away records for a sec:

Spurs @ Home: 34-7
Kings on the road: 17-24

Now lets talk about points:
Spurs:
Points for: 95.6
Points against: 88.8

Kings:
Points for: 98.9
Points against: 97.3

The point for/against differential is way too close for comfort for the Kings. As much as I like the Kings and dislike the Spurs...Parker, Duncan, Ginobli, Bowen...will bee too much for the Kings.

I'm going to have to partially omit Duncan and Ginobli from the equation due to their health.

I really want the kings to win tho. A few monarch's stopped by my work tonight and we talked about it, they think San Antonio will take the kings out.

They had some awesome criticisim about my picks too. They were kinda weary about my clippers nuggets pick. They don't think the suns will have a problem with LA, but wont make it past round 2 because they have no post. They believe detroit will take the east. They strongly believe New Jersey will handle Indiana and chicago will give miami a run for their money. For the most part they agreed, except for the kings spurs game.

Umm, the Spurs had 58 wins and were something like 2.5 games ahead of Dallas for the best record in the West when they played. Meanwhile, the Kings were fighting to get into the playoffs and try not to play against the Spurs. I'll be surprised if they can even take two games off the Spurs.

You never know. Remember back in 94 when the no. 8 seed nuggets upset the no. 1 sonics The sonics had the best record at the league at the time and could not close out the series when they were up 2 games to nothing. Anyways watching the Cavs vs the Wiz right now
