The Trail Blazers are done for the season, but the NBA grinds on. With our favorite team on ice, who are we rooting for now? In this episode we’re getting to know the Sacramento Kings, a team that has been THROUGH IT. We asked our friends @jilladge and @megalutou to join us and tell us all the reasons we should root for the Kings in the first round of the playoffs. Owners threatening to move, an uncertain future, a coaching carousel, 16 years out of the playoffs and through it all an incredible fan base who hung in there and fought for their team and their city. Lets celebrate where they are today, and get to know key players and key storylines about this season. Get in! We’re hopping on the Sacramento Kings bandwagon!
