(a) I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but this is one game out of 82. (b) The ball was tipped, the clock started late. We won the game even if the record won't reflect it. I think that matters a little bit. It does to me anyway. (c) Letting Memphis score 109 points on us is an embarrassment. This is a team that averages 95 points per game. You give up 109 points to Memphis, you deserve to lose. I hope these guys take this in the gut because they earned it. Yes we should have won, but this isn't about the refs screwing us over it's about our complete collapse on defense after the first quarter for the second game in a row.
30+ points given up in last 3 quarters. I can't believe what just happened. The Kings aren't destined to ever have it like a normal team. Every time there's a chance at progress... roadblock after roadblock. Every time the other team needs a game winning bucket, they get it. When is it going to be our turn? When are the refs going to call a fair game? When are the refs going to call it fairly for Cuz? That bullcrap technical on Cuz cost us this game.
This game was the epitome of what it to be a King's fan. Huge lead, lost the lead, got the lead back, lose at the buzzer in stunning fashion.

-The lead ref was insistent on looking at the wrong angle during the replay. Didn't bother to look at the angle from the baseline.
- that wasn't a tip in. The rules dictate that below .4 seconds the ball has to basically be deflected off of the player.
This is a kings win that is reflected as a loss. I guess sometimes when you win you actually lose.

Brutal, brutal loss.
The silver lining is that the Kings are 5-4 when I was expecting 2-7 or 1-8 to start the year. And Ben is looking like a real player. This is still a Kings team capable of having a very good season but I am flabbergasted as to how they could blow back to back games with 24 and 26 point leads respectively. This team is showing no composure when things get tough. And that is going to cost them a lot of games if they don't rectify it.

This team has conditioned me to know we are going to lose, even with the ridiculous circumstances the Grizzlies had to overcome. Futhermore, I wish there were a premium NBA league pass I could buy, where I don't watch the games...I just get a call from a ref telling me that they are going to give the other team the game, and then I save two hours of my freaking life. That being said, I still have hope for this team. Learn from your mistakes...maybe put JT on the ball next time, and Hollins guarding the basket...or just go 4 on 5, leaving JT on the bench, and nobody guarding the ball.
