My Sacramento Kings Fell Short But I’m Hopeful

I was so excited this time of year just last year. My hometown Sacramento Kings clinched a playoff spot for the first time in almost 17 years. We had gone through 16 years of subpar basketball in that time frame. When I thought about how long that was, I figured out that I went from being a wide-eyed young adult to a middle-aged man. That’s how long it had been for a long-time suffering Kings fan. The one year they made the playoffs last season in a generation made me hopeful for the future. This year, we’d be getting essentially the same team but playing in a much more competitive Western Conference. Because of this, despite finishing around the same as last year by losing only two more games, that third seed we had last year turned into a ninth seed this year. <a href="https://medium.com/news-and-such/my-sacramento-kings-fell-short-but-im-hopeful-0faa017451b9">Click Here</a>
