First things first: I am not a big fan of games where the Kings lose… period. But tonight's contest was one of the best I've ever attended, and I'm glad I got to be in Arco tonight to see the Kings play above expectations in what was an extremely thrilling contest. As a bonus, I got to meet the mysterious TZ. He is real, so the rumors of him being a rogue JavaScript program can finally be discarded.

Some awesome take-aways from tonight

Honestly, I can't fault the Kings too much for tonight's game. It was a great contest. I loved the back and forth at the end of the game, and that we fought hard with a great NBA squad. Tracy McGrady made some huge 3s at the end of regulation and couldn't be stopped. They just fell victim again to the overtime blues. They haven't won yet with extra frames this season, whether it's the Lakers, Blazers or Rockets. OT Kills.But let's recognize today's game for something. If Artest is killing this team, he's certainly not doing it on the floor. He was the man when he needed to be, and he stepped up. Some day, that will be just enough for this team to win again.
