There’s no feeling quite like the NBA postseason. Each round is a battle of strategies, physicality, talent, and will. Teams that have spent the entire season tinkering and working on their depth charts, plays, and rotations now get the opportunity to show their franchise’s worth.
For a team like the Sacramento Kings who haven’t made the playoffs since Barack Obama was a senator, this is a reward for their longsuffering fanbase. They have homecourt advantage in the first round and a beam that’s just trembling with anticipation, just begging to be blasted out into the stratosphere.
