Hey @NBAOfficial is this a foul? Asking for a friend...

#SacramentoKings @CarmichaelDave

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@WazzCrypto But retail will be barred from shorting IPO because of HTB rules and options won't be established for Puts either. Just enjoy the show on the sidelines like the rest I guess.

@SacramentoKings 🫣

[Carmichael Dave @CarmichaelDave]

At the end of the day, either De’Aaron Fox or Mike Brown will be a champion the first season after the Kings sent them away

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@SacramentoKings time to own up

[Kevin Fippin @kfippin]

We’re like days away from Mike Brown and De’Aaron Fox in the NBA finals and all I want from my owner is some kind of public apology so I know he understand that he need to stop his nonsense.

I was at Safeway in Pollock Pines yesterday and felt a tap on my side.

“Excuse me son, would you mind handing me those eggs? I’m not fully grown yet!”

It was a man in his 70’s, in a wheelchair, no legs, and a Vietnam Vet hat. He was smiling and making a joke.

30 seconds prior I was muttering to myself how expensive the eggs were, and now I felt stupid for complaining about anything ever.

I handed him the eggs, thanked him for his service, and he said with a smile “you’re certainly welcome!”

I don’t know, it was a basic interaction and I’m not trying to be dramatic, but it really really really floored and humbled me. We all need perspective sometimes and it’s funny how we get it when we do.

This guy had every right to be angry at the world and everyone in it, and here he is joking and smiling about his disability.

To those with us and of course those not with us, thank you for your service and sacrifice. No amount of gratitude is enough.

And I’ll try to do better next time I find myself arguing online or something dumb, and not abusing the freedoms so many worked so hard for.

@kings_muse Ive lived in Northern California my whole life. Love to hike. Love to camp. Love photography. And I've still never been.

5 trips cancelled.

The most recent was for March of 2020. Hotels reserved months out. Lol.

Touch some granite for me.

@Andercot 3D movies, VR and other "next big things" often don't meet the hype.

But call me when we have functioning interactive holograms and we'll talk

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@will_zimmerle Sign me up for kicking the can down the road for another 2-3 seasons with no meaningful draft picks, trade acquisitions or playoff runs.

I like having a reason to sulk in my quaint despair and illogically loyal fandom to this franchise.

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

On this special day, I and all of Sacramento stand together under one voice.

It is our distinguished honor and high privilege to have been born in such close proximity to the 7th circle of basketball hell.

May the flames burn ever brighter and hotter.

Happy Mother's Day.

[Carmichael Dave @CarmichaelDave]

I can’t handle this

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

Get off work. Time to watch some @NBA Playoffs:

- Open up YouTube TV. Wrong.
- Open up Peacock (duh it's back on NBC) Wrong.
- Google "How do I watch NBA playoffs tonight"
- Get the score spoiled.
- A book store is streaming the game.

Worst viewing experience since tape delay.

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@CarmichaelDave Didn't Val confirm the script said otherwise?

Also had a debate over "now I really hate him" or "how I really hate him"

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@MegaBasedChad Double Dare 2000 was dope, Y2K was a nothingburger, 9/11 halted reality in a similar way COVID did but we still had bowling alley arcades with dope laser that'd bump Darude - Sandstorm (at the time a brand new track, not a meme) That was peak childhood.

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@CarmichaelDave Oh so this is a thing. Being someone new to golf and still figuring out this whole thing, I thought I was doing something wrong or blaming it on streaming platform du jour.

That's nasty work...

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@WriteThatBetter @MerriamWebster I feel so seen

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@MagnusSav I would like to formally request a takesies backsies.

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@CarmichaelDave The Kings, who have pulled off the most ethical tank job this season, losing a coin flip to the team that's arguably pulled off the least ethical tank job this season, is the most Kingsian thing I can think of.

Well done NBA, you did it.

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@The_StilesFiles If we could just isolate that swipe away of the bat mid air and remove 99% of the rest, this would legit be a tough cele

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@theepicmap Ssssssshhhhhh we don't need the rest of the world to find out about Yachats....

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@CarmichaelDave On again / off again local radio callers and Twitter taggers would also like a crumb if we are lining up please.

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

@StatisticUrban A 5:4 North of 750k literally anywhere in the United States is surprising?

Come check out Davis, CA where a modest 3:2 starts at low 7s. There's a reason they are shutting schools down around here, people can't afford housing in an agricultural forward college town.

[Bench Matthew @Bench_Matthew_]

Literally, how many lawyers advertise during Let's Make A Deal / Price is Right. This needs to be studied.
