The Kings lost to the Warriors, and the team officially missed the playoffs and playoffs!
In this way, the Kings have missed the playoffs for 16 consecutive years, setting a new NBA record, and the previous record was held by the Clippers and the Kings themselves! The last time the Kings made the playoffs was in 2006, when they finished eighth in the West, losing 2-4 to the Spurs in the first round.
It is worth mentioning that in the Pacers' 117-121 loss to the Pistons, the Kings sent Haliburton to the Pacers in the middle of the season, shooting 6 of 13 (5 of 3-pointers), 7 of 8 from the free throw line, contributing 19 points, 9 rebounds, 17 assists, 2 blocks and 0 turnovers.
This is the first player in the league after James in 18 years to deliver 17+ assists in a single game without errors.
In the Cavaliers' game against the Raptors on March 21, 2018, Dragon Slayer James made 11 of 19, 1 of 3 from three-point range and 12 of 14 from the free throw line, and scored 35 points, 7 rebounds, 17 assists and 0 turnovers.
In addition, three days ago, in the game between the Pacers and the Green Army, Halliburton played 26 minutes, scoring 30 points on 10-of-11 shooting, and 6-of-6 three-point shooting, with an effective shooting rate of 118.2%.
Halliburton's 26-minute playing time also set the minimum playing time for any player since the league introduced the three-point line (1980) to score 30 points and shoot 115 percent from effective range.
The Kings traded Halliburton in order to enter the playoffs and not fall into the swamp of becoming the first disgrace in history, that is, to have the present, not to think about the future. But now it seems that the shame has not been shaken off, and the future is gone.
King management, swinging yyds.
