On a whim? Seriously? 
What's laughable is people acting like thirty-odd minutes of bad defense can be hand-waved away by a questionable call, just because it happened to be particularly visible.

no whats really laughable is people saying a call is questionable and saying it was particularly visible in the same sentence. It was obvious incompetence by the refs which is unrelated to the play prior. Memphis fought hard to come back just as the kings fought hard to build the lead, that is a separate issue from the two missed calls on that final play.
Again its just my opinion.
And you think that happened on a 'whim', do you? I'm not sure you know what the word 'whim' means.
Ah, I see now, it's a comprehension issue. Happy to explicate.
There was nothing inconsistent about the syntax of my sentence: I was not using "visible" as a synonym for "obvious." I meant "visible" as in, "a lot of people were watching it." The play was "particularly visible" because it was the last play of the game; and, since it was a one-point game, this causes many people to erroneously believe that this play, and this play alone, decided the outcome of the game. The play was "questionable" because there was some question as to the outcome of the play.
Hey, it's a free country; you have the right to your incorrect opinion.

Those two phenomena may be mutually exclusive, but I'm disinclined to go through however many hundreds of box scores to try and find out. I'm willing to wager, however, that in neither of their respective careers did they played through a stretch where they lost to a team playing without it's two best players, and then blew two 20+ point leads, in successive games.
That's what I mean by 'diminishing returns': there's a point at which "character building" becomes "spirit breaking." And, for a team that's gone through as much as this one has, I'm willing to speculate that that line is pretty damned fine.

Runs happen suddenly? does that make it better? doesn't disprove my overall point.
oh and there is no question, (in my opinion) backed by video, the clock started late and the ball changed trajectory after being tipped and the call was incorrect due to incompetent officiating not due to any other play or plays that are unrelated to that call.
Yup ill stick to it.

based on all of the replays, photos etc its unquestionable, the refs just blew it big time and did not conduct a proper review, we saw them spend more time on a foul call in the 1st quarter of a game here at sleep train than they did on that call. the kings can chose from multiple arguments to base their appeal, that's how badly and obviously it was blown.

Who the hell cares if the Kings played like crap after a BS Foul and tech was called on Cousins? The Kings DESERVED to win this game fair and square. It's amazing how much people talk down our team! This should've been our W...but I hope it wakes up the 2nd unit. When Cousins isn't out there, our entire team is a complete mess.... bench needs to step up. Especially Sessions and Stauskas.
They deserved the loss. They blew a huge lead in the second half, bricked two FT's at the end of the game (even the Grizz announcers thought it was over), and then totally blew coverage and an 'oop. They did everything they could not to put a W on their record tonight. Winners find way to close out 50/50 games.
