Sacramento Kings still suck.
Had a cute winning streak after firing that mediocre coach. Then Fox starts feeling like he don't want to be there cause his teammates won a few games without him and he was a fan of Mike Browns mediocre coaching...
Now they have a Lavine Derozan duo again, who are one year older and failed to win play-in tourney in a fukking eastern conference multiple times.
It's mediocre Bulls again except Domantas being an improved Vucevic with better court vision, etc.
Sacramento Kings love mediocrity.
We definitely still suck, but the 2025 West is full of mid ass teams. Look at the standings. Once you get past Denver at #4, nobody's a world beater. And in the Top 4, the Nuggets are the only proven team to be consistently a threat in the playoffs...
If I'm the Kings, I'm looking at the landscape like, why can't we win a playoff spot, not just play-in, and depending on matchup, why can't we win a series?
We're 12-6 in our last 18 games and only 3 games outta the 6 seed (currently the Clippers). If I'm Sac I'm looking at this shyt optimistically, none of these teams around us are great, not a one. We can get to the 6 seed, if we don't escape the play-in, we can win the play-in games and secure a playoff spot...
As much as we suck, we're on target for at least the play-in. The last 3 years of Kings basketball has been WAY better than the previous 16. Now, in the off-season we need to tool up so we don't just become a treadmill team, that's the trajectory were on right now without improvement. Being the Hawks or Bulls, what those teams have been the last 4 years or so, is treadmill teams, that shyt ain't it...
But in the here and now, while I'm not satisfied, I like where we are. It could be worse, and if mf's are real Kings fans they know this shyt all too well----->because it has been worse, much fukking worse...
