I thought the Kings talk about getting the 40 wins of the year before the game....what the hell? If they really want to win, then play the starters more minutes and have no mercy. In this league there is no mercy. I seen guys beating the crap out of another when they see a player injured. I seen teams taking advantage of another because a certain stars was out. It makes no difference if Portland had their superstars or not...Kings should have put their starters in and win the damm game. First of all, what IS THE POINT of resting starters? THIS IS THEIR LAST GAME. It's not like they're in the Playoffs and resting them lol.
The thing that i am upsetting is that I want Portland to lose so that the Rockets will remain at #3 seed to avoid Golden State in the 2nd round. Now, the Kings screwing up everything. Rockets should be facing Thunder in 1st round and Nuggets in 2nd round. It makes me hate the Kings so bad. I am not just a Kings fan, but a Warriors fan too. So this makes me hate the Kings...for not just this game. Almost every freaking game in this entire season, they tend to play up to their opponents' strength...no wonder they lost so many close games. They probably lost more close games than any team in the entire league...it's pathetic!! And I believe the King's coach have a LOT to do with it....i wouldn't mind getting him fire, shoot. Yes, sure he change the style suited to the team with Fox running the show, but he also did a lot of stupid things during games that hurt the team as well (not to mention saying stupid things outside the court)....such as making dumb substitutions, playing players way too much minutes when they shouldn't be playing. Or having their player getting exploited in mismatch and doing nothing about it until it's too late. This guy should be fired imo. I don't care what people think. There are better coaches suited to De'Aaron Fox game. In fact, I don't think he utilize De'Aaron's skills that well during game. He basically handicapped his game and makes him pass the ball or share the ball more than develop into an explosive players like Russell Westbrook with his speed and penetration. He basically want him to play more like Mike Conley...which is fine but Fox has way more potential than Conley.
