Friends in fast breaks,

REMINDER: Get a friend into our Playoff Pick'em. It's only $10 and you already know it's gonna be fun. Over $3K in prizes and the opportunity to be our first ever NBA Playoff Champ!

What were you doing back in 2006? That's the last time the Kings made the playoffs, the longest NBA Playoff drought in history. Think about it... It was over 6,000 days ago.

WEEK 22 PICKS

• Walking Bucket Wilt OAD
  • Summary | Overall Standings | Golden Spreadsheet
• Glove Playoff Pick'em
  • COMING SOON!

What have the Playoff-bound Kings missed out on? Here's a semi-accurate timeline of things that have happened since then: Nintendo Wii release, Pluto lost planetary status, the iPhone release, Tesla cars on the road, Iron Man and the Marvel Cinematic Universe started, Google Chrome, the Large Hadron Collider, Bitcoin, THE SZN started, Avatar, the Burj Khalifa, the iPad, Instagram, Minecraft, Snapchat, Lebron wins his first championship, Gagnam Style, evidence of the Higgs Boson, FIFA corruption case, Brexit, Pokemon Go, TikTok, a Pandemic, Squid Game, and YOU joining NBA SZN. 

So uh... it's been a while. But we here love us some BEAM TEAM, and I hope they go far!

PICK COMMENTS

@Mr_Rodgers_Neighborhood (J. Morant): "Suns out, guns out. Oh, wait, too soon when I’m picking Ja?"
GM says: Hey now, when was the last time YOU resolved all your emotional issues in basically a week of therapy? #REDEMPTION

@YikesVikes (A. Davis): "Why not - no reason just why not!"
GM says: His futbol-esque dives twice a game that make you question if his leg snapped off, mainly. Who needs that stress

@MONSTERXXX (S. Curry): "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH !!! Lets Go Broooooooooooo"
GM says: Monster with the late SZN Curry bomb!

@Logan2273 (S. Gilgeous): "Please play Shai"
GM says: You held him this long, he OWES you

@LeviLeo (K. Irving): "I have too many good players left"
GM says: A problem that is CLEARLY not common based on the overall pick distro

Yours in Roundball Rock,
The GM
