I think that with this loss and a Utah win, Portland has moved up to 4th in the lottery, so it looks like both the Kings and Blazers won tonight!

Kings notes: Kings get unwelcome morning wake-up call

PORTLAND, Ore. - If the Portland Trail Blazers were fighting with the Kings for a playoff berth, the Friday morning wake-up call the visitors received might seem extremely suspicious.

But this one was no joke.

A fire in the kitchen of an adjoining restaurant resulted in the evacuation of the downtown hotel the Kings were staying in.

"There was no way to miss it with the alarms going off like they were," Kings guard Mike Bibby said. "They got everybody up and out of their rooms."

Erik Daniels said he was surprised to see ambulances, police cars and fire trucks outside the hotel around 1:30 a.m.

Mark Kreidler: Thumbs up for Adelman in 'down' season

At this point, time itself is Rick Adelman's great adversary. He has been in Sacramento exactly long enough for every thinking fan to have achieved an almost complete paralysis through analysis of his every strategy, substitution pattern and grimace.

He has become what most sports figures who linger in one town eventually do: a polarizing figure about whose style and approach the vast majority of Kingdom long ago made up its mind, thumbs up or thumbs down. Each game only reinforces the good or the bad, depending upon your politics.

In other words, he's Chris Webber in a suit, minus the drama.

And so expect no consensus from the peanut gallery when I tell you this: This season represents Adelman's finest work as the Kings' head coach.

Sacramento has a fair chance to fall short of 50 victories for the first time in five years, and it's Adelman's best work. The Kings are going to wind up fifth or sixth in the Western Conference, and it's his best work.

Peja paints playoff picture for Kings

He scores 35 points as Sacramento locks up a postseason berth with a road win over the Blazers.

PORTLAND, Ore. - While speaking to the media following his team's 119-115 victory Friday night over the Portland Trail Blazers, Kings coach Rick Adelman was cool, calm and collected.

Adelman was nothing like the stalking screamer he was during much of the game. But the hard-fought win, combined with Denver's 107-104 victory over Minnesota, clinched Sacramento's seventh consecutive playoff berth.

Peja Stojakovic scored 17 of his game-high 35 points in the third quarter, while Mike Bibby added 19 points and 11 assists.

The Kings matched a franchise record of seven straight postseason berths set by the Rochester Royals from 1949 through 1955. It's the ninth time the Kings have made the playoffs in Sacramento and the 19th overall for the franchise.

A big record to break.

I'm sure we'll keep it up and break all the records that previous kings teams had.

I didn't see the game so I don't know how hard of a foul Corliss did on Joel. But it was a flagrant though. I remember last season, when Corliss was in the Pistons, he did a hard foul on Brad Miller after Brad and Zeljko Rebraca got into a fight/tangle. Rebraca end up getting ejected. Quiet a few Kings fans got mad at Corliss. Now some fans like what Corliss did to Joel. How the table have turn. I understood why Corliss did that last season to Brad, so I wasn't surprise when I heard he did a hard foul on Joel because of Kenny.

I heard the first half of this game on the radio. I was mad at the Kings because they allowed Blazers to get 63 points at halftime!?! But they had a better second half.

Keep it up, guys!! And I'm glad you clinched the playoff!
