One last time

Try to savor this season. It's likely the last in Sacramento. 

Moreover, they aren't going to be a winning team. The Kings won't sniff 40 victories.

But there are some reasons to still have the game on in the background while you clean your house.

There are some future All-Stars on this team; just not this season.

Omri Casspi is going to turn heads. He dazzled in the opener and he wasn't just exploiting the ho-hum Oklahoma City Thunder defense.

Tyreke Evans will experience growing pains but will be more effective than most rookies.

Kevin Martin is playing like he wants to be traded. Let's ride it and see what he brings us. Virtually anything is better than his brittle frame and pathetic defense.  

Jason Thompson's minutes limited due to foul trouble. It looks like that will be an issue again this year. 

Don't get me wrong, I am excited Thompson is a King. He's capable of matching up with the better power forwards of the league and making them earn their double-double. He's been gifted with athletic footwork and soft hands. He is a piece to build with.

Spencer Hawes is a decent power forward as well. What's that? Center? 

Oh...I see. I guess your average NBA center is supposed chuck up more than 100 three-point attempts in a season. For perspective, Hakeem Olajuwon attempted 124 in his career. Hawes passed that career mark last season. For the record: Three-point related categories will be the only time Hawes beats Olajuwon's career numbers in any category. 

He probably should toss of prayers, you probably don't want him to clumsily labor his way into the painted area.

Long story short, Hawes will average nine boards a game this season. At best. And anything less than or equal to 9.4 boards will be rounded down.

In spite of this, the Kings will provide us with some fun wins scattered across a field of disappointment. 

They will break our heart yet again. They are going to leave and nothing can be done.

So savor this year. 

If you will please excuse me, I need to use the bathroom and take a Maloof.
