It’s Official! The Sacramento Kings Have Quit
By Kareem Gantt
Being on Twitter during a Sacramento Kings game has been pretty depressing over the past couple of months, but if there was one tweet that summed up not only the Kings embarrassing 101-78 lost to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night, but the Kings season as a whole, it’s this tweet:

Yep, that face on DeMarcus Cousins speaks volumes. It speaks of a player who has just witnessed a train go off the cliff, crash, blow up, and for good measure, blow up again. If it wasn’t clear before tonight’s game, it is definitely clear now:
The Kings have quit.
They have quit on Corbin the Destroyer, they have quit on the fans, they have quit on The City of Sacramento, and they have quit on all of Northern California. The Kings have officially become an also-ran this season, a team that is incapable of pulling together, and playing meaningful games.

It’s one thing to watch your team get ran out of their own building, but it is quite another sight all together to watch your team not give a you-know-what while being ran out of their own building. That was the Kings on Thursday night, and team that just didn’t care that the Mavs were running them out of their own building.
It is a shame just how far the Kings have fallen. It is like this team has never recovered from the firing of Coach Mike Malone, who ironically may end up with the Orlando Magic after that team smartly sent Jacque Vaughn packing today.
But Ty Corbin needs to go the way of Vaughn and be sent packing as well, as with more than half of this “team.” The best thing the Kings can do now is to trade players and tank for the best possible position in the draft, because this season is over, done, finish, put a fork in them.
So, for those who haven’t quite gotten the message yet, the Kings have officially quit on the 2014-15 NBA season.
