Am I the only one hoping for a series with the Suns? Sure, we beat a KD-led team in 2016 but so much has happened since then. I think it would be epic. There might never be another chance. And if it means the Kings get their long-simmered vengeance series v the Lakers then I’ll clear my schedule for that too!

I feel pretty sure that this is the only sports blog where you will find 'leptospirosis' and 'anthropocene' in the same comments section.

I just come here to improve my vocabulary ... and to see the GIFs, of course.

Back to the E1P, Moody’s haiku (while he patiently settles to then nail his wide open three)? Poking around Twitter, I found his post.

Orb in hands of life

True arc, vision in my eyes

The moon now rises

Belief etched on reality, not bad for a 20 year old.

I'm so confused that even if someone explains it to me I still don't know what to root for. I thought tonight would clear it up but no. I'm just going to weep in confusion in the corner

Clippers blowing out Lakers by 20 halfway through the 4th.

I think it would probably have been better for the Lakers to win, because I don't see them losing either of their last two games unless losing on purpose would give them sixth.

Clippers making a push in the 4th quarter.

If Lakers take 7th (or 8th), it could be Ingram vs AD in an elimination game.

Would be great to beat Sacto next game. We can do it!

The basketball gods absolutely cannot allow the Kings to finally make the playoffs, only to be eliminated in the first round by the Lakers. Therefore, the Lakers cannot win this game.
