Well, here it is... After 16 long years of waiting, the Kings finally have the chance to clinch a playoff berth and in their home arena to boot.
The T-Wolves are coming off a tight win against the Warriors thanks to Draymond having a brainfart last night that in fact kept the Kings from clinching their spot without even playing. Narrative-wise, it's probably the best way this could happen. Kings fans have waited for so long, and suffered through so many relocation battles, multiple botched rebuilds, horrible coaching decisions, and personnel choices that they deserve to see their team break the streak in person rather than thanks to the Warriors taking care of business for us.
Sixteen years. The streak so long that it can legally drive itself far from Sacramento and become the burden of some other forlorn fanbase (preferably somewhere in SoCal).
The Kings have really struggled against the T-Wolves this season but the games against them have been enlightening and fun (Kessler Edwards would probably not be seeing the minutes he's seeing now if he hadn't singlehandedly defensed the team back into the game the last time the teams faced off) and I will never pass up the opportunity to bask in the fact that the Wolves traded half their roster, Walker Kessler, and pretty much all their picks over the next decade for Rudy Gobert.
T-Wolves fans, for their part, are eager to play the role of spoilers and think the Kings fans are overdoing it, which is ironic considering what happened in Minnesota a little less than a year ago.
No word if Fox is playing tonight or not. I hope he does but more importantly, I hope he gets his body right for basketball in mid-April, when the Kings haven't played a game since the Pussycat Dolls were a thing and Gwen Stefani made pretending to be a Japanese juvenile delinquent her gimmick for some reason.
Go Kings. Break the streak and light the beam.
