The end of another Kings season… does anyone else feel like they’re about to cry? Even if, by and large, the whole season kinda sucked, it’s still the end. That’s it. Over. Finito. Go home everyone. No more Kings basketball. Not for another… however long the offseason is going to be. As we speak, the Kings players are being shuttled off the Orlando campus, to be dispersed from whence they came, like dandelion fuzz in the wind.
The Serbian Superteam in Sacramento (SSS) didn’t even end up happening. Oh well. There’s always next year.
At least things ended on a high note. The Kings smushed the Lakers pretty bad, and no one can tell me that LeBron James wanted to come in and lose. Sure, he only played the first half, but the Kings were winning even by the time he subbed out for the final time. It just got worse from there.
Bogdan Bogdanovic pretty much chose the worse possible time to really get going, stepping up his game to the level that many expected he eventually would with only a few games to go and the playoffs out of reach. If he could have, you know, started doing this stuff regularly at around game 10 instead of game 60-ish, who knows? Maybe the Kings would be in the playoffs for the first time in over a decade.
