I'm just here so someone can tell how critics of this franchise are overreacting to dropping our first three games. Not losing for any single reason, but for a multitude of different deficiencies. That the Warriors were just hot from the field and not that our absent defense helped cause that.

We saw the same spirited comeback the Kings always exhibit. You know, that gives you hope that we can pull a W from the Jaws of a blowout. But all it does is make you forget what caused it to be a blowout to begin with.

I love being a blindly loyal fan, I really do. These guys make me look like a fool every year because I always hype them preseason. But at what point is it OK to be pessimistic and call a spade a spade.

Die hard loyalists point to small sample size, team needs to gel under a new coach, etc etc. Its the same story and excuses every single year. The fact is it's on this team to show something different than what we've seen for SEVENTEEN YEARS.

And Mark and Kayte are laying it on thick as I write this... How tough the Kings opponents are to start the season, warriors defending Champs, etc. Guess what, your opponents are always tough when you're the Kings. If we want an easier schedule, relegate us to the G league. If we can't figure it out in nearly two decades while every other team has, then why not?

Every single thing that we see wrong in the first three games is cause for concern because this franchise is incapable of proving that what we see is not what we get. Every year those things that we see wrong in the first couple weeks of the season ALWAYS persist until the season invariably ends in April. Whether it be defense, free throw shooting, bone head plays... Whatever.

Every person watching this should be skeptical of this franchise until proven otherwise by a deep playoff run. Or we can claw and scratch and fight to finish just short of our Supreme goal of a play-in berth.

Being a fan of this team is straight up exhausting.
