Anytime the Kings' play their butts off and come off with a win it's entertaining for me. LaVine was good in the clutch this time. Kudos to him and Christie, who I am assuming had something to do with putting him in the right positions to be successful. On the other side of the ledger, I continue to hate the minutes that Westbrook is being given at the expense of Ellis, Max, Isaac, or just about anyone else. And why Sacric gets one minute of playing time at the expense of Max is beyond me.
The Kings are now 1-1 against the bottom dwellers of the West. They won at home against Utah by one point. Their performance thus far hasn't changed my mind about their prospects for future success. Looking forward I think it's going to be a very rough road for them. The only question I have is when exactly they change course and get serious to develop with the younger cohort of this team.
