Lets face it, there is nothing to play for left this season. The players feel that. When the team goes through a stretch of bad play and the offense doesn't come easily, the players don't have the willpower or the confidence in their teammates to remain focused. Little mistakes start piling up, the mental block gets bigger and bigger, and all of a sudden the team is looking up at a 20 point lead. The Kings have faced a 20 point deficit in 6 of the last 7 games, and have lost 10 of the last 11.

If the front office keeps things the way it is now, its going to be brutal for fans to make it all the way to April before this season mercifully ends. From what it sounded like from people there, Sleep Train Arena was almost ready to revolt, and by the time the fourth quarter winded down, it was like a library. Last year, Pete D'Alessandro came out guns firing reshaping the roster. If the front office doesn't want the entire city to tune out, its time to dust off the pistols.
