No but I might have if I'd watched. Which is why i didn't watch. I got enough problems without this bumming me out more than it already has.

I tried not to. I did a good job too. Until Jerry and Grant started tearing up. Jerry couldn't say anything, and Grant barely got the words out to finish the broadcast. Then Donte and JT came back out on to the floor to mix with the fans who had stayed way past the end of the game. Life is about survival. And business is as well. But sometimes, there are things in your life that don't have a monetery value. They're simply priceless. All the nights I spent with my son and daughter screaming our heads off at ARCO. All the nights we walked back to our car, happy, laughing, floating on air, and thinking that it would never end.
Intellectually, I can understand why. But in my heart, there is no why. There is only love, for a team that gave me more than I paid for. A team that grew and gained respectability, and passed it on to the city of sacramento. The Sacramento Kings! A team known around the world, and therefore, a city known around the world. Priceless! Its a shame that some things have more value when they're gone. Sometimes the harshest word is regret.

Just got back from Arco (PBP). One helluva game. Even with the loss, It made me feel that uninhibited passion for this team I haven't truly experienced since the Webber days and that alone was well worth the trip and for it I am eternally grateful.
As for the the topic at hand, being at the game I missed out on Grant and Jerry and the Roll-Out kicker so I didn't receive that aspect.
But when the score kept inching closer and closer during the comeback and Arco was rocking like the old days and I was screaming so loud my vision became blurred ... I took a few moments between plays to sit back down and sob just a bit. It all was just too overwhelming and magnificent to handle in any other way.

I didn't but it sounds like I am glad the feed I was watching got dumped. I'm still holding out the tiniest tinge of hope but that seems futile the way Jerry and Grant talked. In some ways it seems fitting if it ends tonight, the Timbers MLS home opener is tomorrow night and I am taking my son, we have season tickets and a new "hometown team" to follow "from the beginning". But the Sacramento Kings will always be the first to have that honor and if its done it will be a long time before I can follow the NBA again. If they get one more season to make it happen and can't I think I can walk away with no hard feelings but right now business is business has such a callous ring to it.
Long live the Sacramento Kings.
Long live the Sacramento Kings.
I can't believe you are in here talking about your MLS Podunk team and your new hometown, all the while your original home town loses it's team. I am not even from your original home town, yet here I am, and I went down with the ship with all of your brothers and sisters in Sacramento. Yet you want to talk about the MLS in Podunk, Oregon. Well done! I guess you are done here. See ya. You remind me of those G'damned laker fans I saw tonight. Talk about your Timbers some other time.

Of his entire paragraph about his love for the Kings, that is what you took from it? Wow.
Here here pdx! I am one of those people still holding out hope, but everyone needs a rebound :-\.
I cried like a baby. Sh** happens. Sometimes you just need to let go and express your feelings. I held it back for a long time, but the run at the end got to me.
I will be here as long as the Kings are in town. I do not want them to go, however this post was about specific personal emotions. I can't help but notice the strange connection that the night after I am potentially closing the door on a 26 year love I am about to embark on a new journey with my son. I want him to be a Kings fan too. I want the team to stay. But sometimes life works out strange and it seems oddly poetic that should this be it, these two events would occur on consecutive days in the proverbial one door closes a new one opens kind of way. I'm sorry if it offended anyone else but your reaction is a bit over the top.
