Official: the Sacramento Kings will miss the post season for the sixteenth straight year with tonight’s loss. Prior to this season, Sacramento was tied with the Los Angeles Clippers in franchise droughts.
Surely we didn’t expect to end up here, did we? This season was built up to be one of great success that was sold to the Kingdom during training camp. Morale was at an all-time high and the roster hadn’t felt stale. Head Coach Luke Walton was holding the clipboard in Sacramento’s abysmal start, and it wasn’t his exit that really changed much in the win/loss column.
