Sacramento, California

With a whole day to reflect on a vanquished comeback attempt against league-best Milwaukee, Kings center Willie Cauley Stein flexed his veteran leadership skills to the media. “Guys are just making silly mistakes in games that need to be won. In this league you need to be able to close. A comeback doesn’t matter if you can’t close. It’s just a sign that we’re a young team – if we want to be at the top we have to execute at the end of games”.

WCS’s comments come a day after a valiant comeback effort mounted by Sacramento in the fourth quarter against a mostly Giannis-less Bucks squad. Eric Bledsoe was able to secure key defensive stops and post an impressive triple double; he outshined fellow Kentucky guard De’Aaron Fox and wings Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanavic. Despite Bledsoe’s performance, the Kings youth movement impressively fought their way back, being given several chances to steal a game from the league’s best team.

The crowd was roaring – Golden State playoff level roaring – the Kings had the ball, down by one.

“These are the moments you live for out in the backyard” mulled Stein.
“But then guys just wanna throw away the game I guess”.

This is where the post is supposed to include an embedded Youtube video of a Willie Cauley Stein crossover in the paint and an attempted one handed (left handed) chest pass that sailed out of bounds). The crowd moans.

I would then quote Cauley Stein in how it was the fault of his teammate, maybe throw in some vulgarity, and laugh about it to myself. The fact that a clip of this momentum killing, game securing, totally unprofessional turnover hasn’t made it’s way on to youtube shows that fans can still miss key moments in games. A stat line shows a turnover, a coach knows it’s game over. Stats won’t show it, youtube won’t show it, I don’t know what the fuck to do. My satire has no foundation of truth to make snide remarks off of, and now I’m lost. Thanks Willie. I also had to change the spelling of your last name at least four times in the revision of this piece. You know what man? Fuck you. Stupid ass haircut and un-artful tattoo placement, to go along with a game that’s evolving at the speed of Dirk Nowitzki’s 40 time. I’m lost man.
