Sacramento Kings superfan Devlin Carter confirmed he blocked the team’s defensive tackle midway through Wednesday’s 112-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns, leading to him being ejected from Golden 1 Center.
The television broadcast captured Carter’s emotional comments from behind Sacramento’s bench as he was being restrained by arena security.
In a pair of Instagram Stories (via Anuj Talwalkar of EssentialSports), Carter acknowledged that he was kicked out of the venue, but added, “At least the Kings fans feel me.” “We’re not here to watch y’all play defense,” he wrote in a follow-up post.
It sums up the excitement in Sacramento. The Kings are off to a 5-14 start and could miss the playoffs for the third consecutive year.
However, ironically, this offense has been a slightly bigger culprit for the team’s overall malaise. According to NBA.com, Doug Christie’s team is 28th in offensive rating and 24th in defensive rating.
For fans who have followed the team all year, the specifics don’t really matter. The performance of the Kings has not been that good.
