This Saturday evening game is more than likely going to be butt. We can face those facts with honor right? The Suns have lost eight in row, including dropping a game just last night against the Warriors by 20 points. Now, someone might like to step into the comments and retort that the Warriors have won five straight and yadayada blah blah blah and to that, I recommend they waste their petty disagreement on someone who is willing to retort with something other than fart noises. Phoenix has fallen from the feel good story to start the season to regular ol\u2019 Phoenix Suns basketball. This isn\u2019t to say the Kings are any better. Their brand of rim-clanking, foot-in-mouth, ass-gazing is reaching new depths this season as they continue to publicly stare directly into the light that the tiniest of successes brings and wondering aloud why they can\u2019t see the rewards coming. Figures both on and off the court stink of entitlement, the flavor that comes from breathing the smoke blown up their asses for too long. Saying the Kings are only a few games out of the playoff race is akin to saying Luxemborg was only a few rockets away from the space race. The Kings have lost five in row, their two \u201cbest players\u201d are out for another indefinite period of time and the team is Bogi\u2019s iron hammy and Richaun Holmes away from putting out a product of such trash it would make Oscar the Grouch cringe. The high tempo superteam just young underdog of last season have been put down, dead and buried, and replaced by a slow, weak-sphinctered basset hound. They plod along until inevitably they can\u2019t keep shit together and every game is a slow, agonizing race to see whether they can get out before ruining something new. <\/p>\n
Let\u2019s talk Kings basketball. <\/p>\n
When:\u00a0<\/strong>December 28th, 6:00 PST<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong>\u00a0Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, CA<\/p>\n TV:<\/strong>\u00a0NBCSCA<\/p>\n Radio:\u00a0<\/strong>KHTK Sports 1140 AM<\/p>\n Silence of the Fans:<\/strong> Anyone who tells you that you can\u2019t criticize this team for this season is a goddamn fool and shouldn\u2019t be trusted with the very oxygen that floats around them. We\u2019ve all been around long enough to understand that each of us can certainly say dumb things and as such from time to time we need to be corrected. But saying unequivocally that a franchise of this caliber is above reproach for anything is just yawping for access or clout. There\u2019s a lot of bullshit to point out with this franchise and all of it is valid. If the billionaires and millionaires responsible for this product can\u2019t handle the heat from their fandom, that\u2019s their issue. They really don\u2019t need internet hiveminds, literal used car salesmen or part-time radio hosts eating punches for them. The Kings are bad and bad for reasons easily foreseeable and far past two early 20-somethings being injured. Chastise accordingly. <\/p>\n The Kings have a second chance tonight to be the nice guys of the NBA, boosting the confidence of lowly Western Conference by letting them win in Sacramento and in pathetic fashion to boot. Sure, losing Fox and Bagley hurt to a degree. Good teams get around that. The Kings HAVE gotten around that, for 17+ games. A loss to Minny, without KAT and with Andrew Wiggins creating a levee of mudbricks around G1C is inexcusable. Buddy Hield\u2019s play, outside of going through an unseen injury or unknown family issue? Garbage. Dwayne Dedmon demanding a trade? Laughable. But underneath all of the silly crap, behind the curtains of player drama shows the truth of the Kings \u201cculture first\u201d push. Organizations with \u201cculture\u201d have issues as well, sure. But not as consistently or predictably as the Kings. Dedmon isn\u2019t a bad player, nor a malcontent. He played on a terrible team in Atlanta last year and thrived. This is far more on the guys in ties than the guys in jerseys. It\u2019s been on them for 14 years. This franchise is a serial killer of talent – a Buffalo Bill dancing around in the cellar of the Western Conference popping their lips with a brand new jersey around their shoulders and asking \u201cwould you play for me? I\u2019d play for me SO hard\u201d. Sure, you might say there\u2019s some blame to be assessed for the player stuck in the well screaming to get out. Maybe in some minds they should have heeded warnings on the news and been more careful which broken franchise they had to get into the van with to help… but let\u2019s not forget they help others and never had this happen. <\/p>\n Oh boy, they all play so great and we\u2019re all friends again and it was all a bad dream!<\/p>\n Kings: 106, Suns: 102<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Saturday evening game is more than likely going to be butt.
