Sacramento Kings’ contributor, Deuce Mason, joined Chris Watkins and Whitey Gleason Friday to talk about the Kings making the postseason, what the series will look like with the Warriors, and if the Kings need to start hot by winning Games 1 & 2.

All that & more on the Playoff Push with Chris Watkins and Whitey Gleason.

“I am surprised by that,” Mason said on the show. “A lot of it was warriors based. I look at the Golden State Warriors and I go ‘look since the all star break they’re seventh in defensive rating, they’re top-10 on both offense and defense’. I do believe that if there is a team that has a switch, it’s them.”

Additional topics discussed include:

  • Is Deuce surprised by people picking the Kings to win the series?
  • How important is Harrison Barnes in the playoffs?
  • Does Sacramento have to start hot in the series?
  • Will the Kings surprise the national audience in the playoffs?
  • Is there any pressure on the Kings?
  • Does Alex Len play a role in this series?
  • Is Mike Brown the X-Factor for Sacramento?
  • Is Deuce a fan of the Twilight series?
