Sacramento Kings fans now is the time to turn it up and get behind your team. At this point, you can turn your back or turn it up and I’m choosing to turn it up!

The storm has blown over, tears have dried, fans have pushed their old Kings jerseys to the back of their closets.  The anger has subsided and we’re ready to stand up and cheer for our Kings. Whether you were happy about the big trade or not, today it doesn’t matter. Many fans have turned their backs on Sacramento due to the choices and direction of the franchise. At this point, you can turn your back or turn it up and I’m choosing to turn it up!

With twenty-one regular season games left, the Sacramento Kings are seated in the tenth spot in the NBA Western Conference. Having won 25 games and suffered 36 losses it’s time to move on up. In the midst of a team reconstruction, the Kings are on a warpath to prove everyone wrong but mostly to win ball games. Can the Kings turn it up?

The Kings as we know already have existing talent such as: Willie Cauley-Stein, Darren Collison, Ty Lawson, and Ben McLemore – the list goes on and on. With the new acquisitions of Tyreke Evans, Buddy Hield and Langston Galloway, this new lineup could be lethal. This recipe could be just what the Kings need to get back on the map as a threat in the West.

Earlier this season, the Kings beat the champs, the Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime at the Quicken Loans arena in Cleveland on the champ’s court. The Kings also beat the Golden State Warriors who were in the 2016 NBA Championship against the Cavs. The Kings have the skills, talent, and the drive, they just need you, the fans!

Now is the time to turn it up and get behind the Kings; time to purge the words tank and garbage out of our vocabulary when referencing the Kings; time to live up to the Kings royalty and cheer these young guys to the top! I’m Sacramento proud, are you? Turn it up.
