I am sorry to announce that I have fallen victim to a very bad disease which I am struggling to fight. I don't know if this is contagious or not but this disease has me in a bind.

I would say I contracted this disease during January after being mesmerized by the freshman stars Kevin Durant and Greg Oden while the Kings are dragging through the dog days of the season during the seven game losing streak.

I thought that I would be able to let it heal this summer but when the Kings came back with this exact roster compounded with Mike's injury the injury really hit hard.

Common Symptoms of this disease:

1. Fist pounding after a Lebron and 1 play to make it 93-88 under a minute.
2. Hand clapping when the Sonics went up 20 during the 2nd quarter and getting a bit antsy when the Kings were crawling back in the 2nd half.
3. Making a small index card charting all combinations in which the Kings could gain the most set of ping-pong balls.

Man, I hate what I have become. It's so early and I'm already looking ahead for the lottery. I've been trying to rationalize to myself that the two wins against Seattle and Minnesota at home were a given and that one shouldn't be too disappointed because there were no way shorthanded or not the Kings were going to win those two games.

If anyone can provide any kind of cure for this disease, I would really appreciate it. I want to end this once and for all. I don't ever want to be pounding my fist at the Kings' mishaps nor do I ever want to count the combinations of best lottery ping-pong balls again.

I WANT THIS TEAM TO BE FOCUSED ON MAKING THE DAMN PLAYOFFS EVEN IF IT WILL BE ONE AND OUT AGAINST THE MAVERICKS, SPURS, ROCKETS OR SUNS WHILE EVEN IF IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE MISSED THE PLAYOFFS AND HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PICK UP A TOP PROSPECT.
I DON'T WANT TO GIVE A DAMN ABOUT A STUPID ROOKIE ANYMORE, I WANT THE DAMN POSTSEASON.

MORE IMPORTANTLY IN THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE, I WANT THE IN UTAH AND SACRAMENTO TO READ: KINGS FORCE MAJOR UPSET.

I WANT TO GO TO SLEEP PISSED OFF AFTER A KINGS LOS S AND SCREAMING MY HEAD OFF WHEN THE KINGS COME TO AN OPPOSING ARENA AS AN UNDERDOG AND STUN THE OPPOSING TEAM, LIKE THEY DID AGAINST UTAH LAST YEAR.
