Dame with a back to back 50 burger, 61 this game his career high. His last 3 a prayer a 30 footer that hit the rim bounced 15 ft in the air before going in. His 6th 50 plus game this season giving him 11 for his career. That's going to be a great series if they get in Lakers vs. Blazers.KP 7-9 from downtown for 36 points... But, Lilard with 61 and Melo with 26 and POR wins.
Interesting article I read that said because of the financial havoc that covid-19 is wreaking on team finances, teams are going to be reluctant to fire guys that have guaranteed contracts to replace them with guys that they have to pay just as much. Divac and Walton have contracts extending to 2023 so they probably won't be fired, the article speculated the Kings might hire others to assist that brain trust of Divac/Joe Dumas but I see cost cutting in the picture, maybe Peja goes and they don't replace him and any contracts expiring this season don't get picked up.Sactown was eliminated from the playoffs making this the second longest streak of missing the playoffs for an NBA team. The record for most seasons for missing the playoffs is 15 by the LA Clipper team beginning in 1977. Kings have now missed the playoffs for 14 seasons.
Vlade said if he wasn't winning he would quit, I'd say after this season he's not winning but I doubt if he quits, I think Ranadive has to fire him. Buddy Hield the key piece in the Cuz trade has been demoted to the bench, which is not a good sign for them to snap this playoff drought.

When you have the most highly valued franchise in the game you can afford to ignore conventional wisdom that small market teams like Sactown can’t, at least for a while.Meanwhile, Dolan is on a spending spree in the worst COVID affected city in the country. Hmm.
