A wild West Coast night of basketball is about to tip off.At 7:10 p.m. Pacific, the Warriors step into ARCO Arena for a face-off with the bad-not-terrible-but-yeah-pretty-bad Kings. The Warriors, essentially tied for the 8th and final playoff position with the Clippers, don't actually have much of a rivalry with the Kings. Could be because the neighbors have not made the playoffs in the same season since the Kings moved to Sacramento in 1985. Yes, Sacramento and Golden State have never shared a postseason experience. 22 years. Not once. When the Warriors suck, the Kings are good. When the Kings suck, the Warriors are good. Thus, little room for a meaningful rivalry.
But the current coaching situation has added some intrigue. Kings coach Eric Musselman got fired by Warriors GM Chris Mullin a few years ago, even though Muss was considered a nice young bench prospect. Warriors coach Don Nelson publicly
At 7:40 p.m. Pacific, both Los Angeles squads try to move on from last night's public affair. The Lakers, who can clinch with a win and a loss from both the Dubs and the Clips, have well-documented issues, and get the pleasure of visiting the buzzsaw Suns. Those Clippers, smiling no doubt thanks to the warm afterglow of Victory, have a somewhat easier task: the suddenly frail Trail Blazers. Dual ClipSet and Dubs wins (expected) paired with a fine glass of Laker Loss (expected) means only 0.5 games separate the three games with just days left in the season. And that means some forum blue and gold sphincters are going to get tight.
This is going to be a helluva week of basketball for fans of West Coast basketball, which ends next Wednesday with... Lakers at Kings. God bless the schedule makers.
(All apologies to the Hornets, who are also still kind-of alive. Your Midwestern locale does not fit my storyline, so you are erased.)
