SACRAMENTO–The last three games the Sacramento Kings played and lost and even though technically the Mexico City game was a home game for the Kings obviously when you play in Mexico City your still on the road. That three game road trip was completely disappointing except for some things that transpired in the game in Oklahoma City.

The loss in Mexico City to the Boston Celtics was not that surprising because as the home team the Kings had to go in early and they did a lot of activities. There were on video and pictures that came out and folks can go to kings.com and folks can see some guys with the kids, special needs kids, doing basketball stories and strategy.

Wonderful things that the Kings did when they were in Mexico City but it completely took their attention off basketball and that’s the real problem that teams are having with the NBA during these kinds of games during the regular season. Frankly its the same kind of problem that teams have with the NFL playing regular season games in London.

If it’s a pre season game you could do all those fun things, have time with kids, do the PR things, do all of that and have a great time then go play a game. A game that really doesn’t make a difference whether you win or lose your just kind of trying to see how things are coming together.
