What the hell was that ending? I do not believe the Kings are actively tanking (yet) but holy shit did it look like they were at the end of the game. The game should have been over when LaMelo committed a flagrant foul but the Kings figured it’d be more interesting to miss 5 free throws in the last minute of game play, and I think they were right. It was a ridiculous “comeback” but please miss me with the win probability bull shit. Idk how they compute it but its not a fun stat to me because it’s the same dogshit every time, they only had a .4% chance of winning?!?! Says who, some fucking algo? Does that algo factor in a teams culture or lack there of? I doubt it because if they did then Kings’ opponents win % should never drop below like 5% until the final whistle, Kings gonna Kings.

The real story of the night should be PJ fucking Washington, who went off for a career high 42 points on 15 of 23 points from the field. PJ also had 9 rebounds and 2 blocks and 2 steals to complete his historic night. This got me thinking, how many damn career highs have we had this season? Terry, Gordon, LaMelo, Malik, and now PJ. No wonder this team is having so much fun on the court, Borrego has them playing like a team on offense for sure.

-Moist Monk with another 20 point performance off the bench. Malik is really doing his best job at making me feel better about writing a blog saying we should probably trade Terry if anything… Also he absolutely dad dicked Buddy on his game winning layup, Monk later said that he was actually going up for a dunk at first, which might make it even more impressive.

-How many times are we going to be 1 game under 500?

-I miss devonte’

-Tyrese Haliburton was injured so we didn’t get to see LaMelo and him side by side, which will allow Kings fans and NBA reddit to keep talking Tyrese>LaMelo trash… I mean who wouldn’t want the 13-3-5 player over the younger 15-6-6 player (Hint LaMelo has the better stats and always will because he’s the better player)
