The Kings got a nice looking win tonight against the Mavericks, really took it to them and blew them out, which has to be good for team morale. Plane rides after losses are always so sad, but after wins it’s all smiles!
Problem is, this win will really cost them in the tanking standings, as they now have the same amount of wins as the Mavs. Each win is meaningful now, with so many teams at around the same place in the standings. There can be no messing around. The goal has to be accomplished, and if that means telling Bogdan Bodanovic that he has, I don’t know, erectile dysfunction (is his English good enough to recognize either of those words? hopefully not) or some other horrible injury/ailment and has to sit out the rest of the season, then so be it. His play has probably already earned the Kings 5 or so wins, 5 wins that could’ve been losses.
