Vote: Seattle SuperSonics vs. Sacramento Kings


The ultimate goal for each of the 16 teams in the NBA postseason is 16 wins a parade with a very shiny trophy. But the journey begins with a best-of-seven challenge in the first round. Will any of the favorites fall victim to overconfidence in the postseason's opening stanza? For that matter, do the seedings really tell us who the favorites are? We're asking SportsNation to break down each opening-round series.

No. 3 Seattle vs. No. 6 Sacramento: The Sonics were one of the league's biggest surprises this season, starting out hot and holding off the Nuggets to win the Northwest Division title. But is there any momentum left for Ray Allen's crew, or have Mike Bibby and the Kings been restored to power in the wake of their big deadline deal?
  • 1) Are the Kings a better team as a result of the Chris Webber trade?
  • 2) Only Dallas and Phoenix won more road games than Seattle this season. How many games will the Sonics win in Sacramento?
  • 3) Who has the edge at point guard?
  • 4) Who has the edge on the wing?
  • 5) Who has the edge up front?
  • 6) Who has the edge on the bench?
  • 7) Who has the edge in coaching?
  • 8) Who would you want taking the last shot for Seattle?
  • 9) Who would you want taking the last shot for Sacramento?
  • 10) Who wins the series?
