I think they received a ... well, let's call it a "pep talk" ... from Boogie on the trip from Philadelphia to Washington. He's setting the tone and they'd damned well better follow right along.
Its meant to be humorous. I know its not your kind of humor, but might be to some others. My friends certainly like it, inb4 "what kind of sick person likes that humor?"
I'm loving this game, though. Not because we're winning, but because the Kings are gaining confidence again.
