No one give me that clutch dog****. Blew a double-digit lead against Memphis D-leaguers with our mediocre core.
We are such a treadmill, sad-sack franchise.

im sorry this MEM team was a bunch of D-league no one's. we are so KANGZ when it comes to tanking. I can only hope there is a God that will have mercy on this franchises absolute unwillingness to ever tank correctly. I've been impressed by Bog and Fox's clutch-ness this year but this game was garbage against garbage players.
This was the most unimpressive win all season.

I mean, we still have to develop these guys so seeing the veterans play isn't exactly appealing to some of us. Furthermore, I'm expecting next year to be even more frustrating as the team fails to really establish itself as anything more than a talent deprived treadmill team.
Don't worry, there will be plenty of stuff to whine and argue about.
yeah.. I don't know how anyone could be excited by this win tonight. struggled to beat a team who was led by Marshon Brooks.
If anything, it continues to show how much we desperately need a blue chip prospect.

I’m really looking forward to next year. No draft pick....... this team will be playing to win every night.

This particular win will probably end up inconsequential for the future of the franchise, that is it will most likely not affect our lottery position as subtracting this win at the end of the season will leave us in the same 6th spot. Betting odds say that Orlando/Dallas will not get within a game of us, and the Nets/Chicago will not end up tied with us... hope that helps soften the blow

I think Dallas wins one more for sure and we shall see what happens the last game against Houston.

I’m sure someone will take issue with your sense of humor, but I appreciated it.

In that case (Dallas wins one / We lose Spurs-Houston) this win would have put us out of the tie for the 5th/6th.
EDIT: I guess we can discuss this in a more appropriate thread..

Not going to let the negativity in this thread take over, so here are the positive take aways:
- Fox / Bogdan backcourt winning another game by coming up clutch. This is insane and probably on a historic frequency by now. Is there any way to look this up?
- Justin Jackson confidence in his shot rising
- Buddy Hield's end of season transformation into Kawhi and giving Ben Mclemore flashbacks
- Fox / Bogdan backcourt winning another game by coming up clutch. This is insane and probably on a historic frequency by now. Is there any way to look this up?

Good to see Bogdan, Hield Fox and Jackson have the fortitude to stand big and solid at end of games making plays instead of jittery mistakes....bodes well for the future

For the zealots saying, "Well, I enjoy all wins. Even those by a 20 something win team against a devastated squad. But, I certainly don't enjoy people throwing math and probabilities in my face saying wins can be bad. So, I'm happy next year we don't have a draft pick. That's going to improve the discourse around here. We're all going to be on the same page."
I would say ... wake up and smell the coffee.
The Kings suck. The Kings suck for several years. When an NBA team sucks, NBA fans and NBA media find and sell hope. For a team like the Kings without a ton of assets to trade and with free agency to NBA Siberia not really an option, the draft is the primary beacon of hope.
The Kings are going to be bad again next year. Except, in November 2018, the team will be bad and the Kings next hight draft pick will be almost 2 years away. Some fans and media will vaguely imply the players will get better and hope for a 2019 free agency bonanza. That narrative isn't going to be super effective, because this is the Sacramento Kings and fans know how free agency works here.
Instead, fans and the media are going to hype and over hype our prospects. Not just general we have a lot of kids hype. Specific player hype will be the primary medicine. "It's OK that we're bad now, because player X is going to play like player Y in a few years." Nobody is going to debate whether a victory over the Suns was a Woss. But, I anticipate some testy exchanges regarding prospects that are being overhyped.
Being bad without a draft pick to soften the blow and give hope is a rough ride. I think some fans trying to find a bright side to not having one are kidding themselves.

Despite us sacrificing draft position in order to "develop the youngsters" and "learn how to win," I am encouraged by the clutch play of Fox and Bogi. While we can all debate whether there's an All Star between them, I'll take a clutch player over an All Star on a playoff team, any day.
And, despite being turnover prone at this stage of his career, I think Buddy will proved to be every bit as clutch as F&B. It's a good feeling to have three guys in your backcourt be young and clutch with no apparent personality clashes.
