The Kings simply are not good enough to coast defensively. There just simply is not enough talent on the team. Today it sure felt like the attitude was that they were going to let the offense carry them to an easy victory over a bottom-feeding Sixers team, and with that attitude the team deservedly got a good buttkicking tonight. While the offense was clicking, things were all smiles and laughs. The Kings were getting out on the fast break and making it look easy. The Kings had an 18 point lead in the third quarter with 8:46 remaining. From then on until 9:56 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Sixers outscored the Kings 40 to 9. Thats FORTY TO NINE. The offense died, the defense never woke up, and that was essentially the game.

The Kings now limp to Washington for another game tomorrow. They should have plenty of energy in the tank seeing as how they didn't bother to break a sweat in tonight's effort.
