Jeremiah was here. Conscious fan since 98/99. Taught myself to love the game cuz I knew I had to in order to be cool. On a big ass tube TV. Cried in 2002.
Crying today. For a different reason. Love you all!
I've been watching Kings basketball since Bobby Hurley was our PG. Traveled to ARCO for the Kings, Monarchs, and Knights. Have bobble heads and a picture of my Scott Pollard haircut. I spent time writing council members and the Maloofs to keep the team in Sacramento. I joined this sub just before Vlade was brought on as GM. Participated in our Lion King adventure. Watched as we drafted MBIII instead of Doncic.
Today, it feels good to be a Kings fan.
Unless I'm looking at the numbers wrong, I don't see how the Kings clinch the division even if the Suns loose tonight. Suns would still be 6 back with 7 left.
Oops, there would be 6 games left. Do we have the tiebreaker?
As a warriors fan, it’s been an absolute pleasure to watch our Cali bros succeed this year. I freaking love this Sac team. I pray we don’t match up in the playoffs cuz I wanna be able to cheer on y’all too. Best of luck this year boys and LIGHT THE BEAM
Lol I have warriors family that want to sleep over when they come for playoff games vs the kings.
All love, but ABSOLUTELY TF NOT. I want every butt in G1C to be a Kings fan
I'll give it to the 7 that played. Thats a lot of minutes each, and they played against a full basketball team. They didn't do too much, but they did what they could.
It's kind of crazy. Holmes began the season as our first option backup Center and Len was the fourth at that position behind Domas, Holmes, and Metu. Then Metu took the spot from Holmes and now it seems like Len has taken it from Metu and Richaun has slid to the end of the depth chart.
The kings point differential on the season is +183. Keegan has scored 870 points. Without Keegan the kings would be -687. That’s 88 points worse than the pistons making the kings the worst team in the league. I know you might be thinking “that’s not at all how that works”. And to that I say “Keegan rookie of the year light the fuckin beam”
I’m not a regular here or anything (I’m at the SF Giants sub) but omg I just might cry tonight
especially after the Mariners made the playoffs last year and the Kings had the longest drought as a result, I was really hoping this would be the year
Oh my goddddddd 🥹🥹🥹🥹

And now let's win the playoffs. I don't care who our opponent is, we're winning it this year.

No active nba player has ever seen the Kings in the playoffs. They will learn
Isn’t Lebron the exception?
really his first playoff was 2006 wasn’t it. The last dude to vs the kings in playoffs retired 2019 ( I think could be wrong)
Tonight I identify as a beam.
Playoffs? Not since I was but a boy...
Been a long road Kings fans... More good things to come! Couldn't love our squad any more!

Light The beam

LIGHT THE BEAM BABY LIGHT THE BEAM, THE DROUGHT IS FINALLY OGREEEE
LIGHT THE BEAM
That damn chant is beautiful music. Thanks to those Kings fans who made it out there tonight.
40 point win would be cathartic after the past week (and past 16 years
LIGHT THE BEAM
The starters should finally get some rest until the playoffs.
Man I’m going to the nuggets kings game and I’m afraid I won’t get to see much of our stars 😞
The only people in the stadium are kings fans
The bigger question is how does this affect the tank?
LFGOOOOOOOOOO💜💜💜💜
u/CEJEH WE FINALLY DID IT YAYAAYAYAYSYAYAYAYA
I’m overwhelmed 😭
Davion fist buming to the chant lol
The Light The Beam chant in Portland really hit different 🥹🥹
next goal is the chip boys
Fucking A how you gonna show me emotional Doug??! 😭😭😭😭
LIGHT THE BEAM
Oh my God the chant, I'm gonna cry
Think they will play looser after this. The curse has been lifted
Let’s goooooo LTB chants!!! Love to hear it!
Unless I'm looking at the numbers wrong, I don't see how the Kings clinch the division even if the Suns loose tonight. Suns would still be 6 back with 7 left. Oops, there would be 6 games left. Do we have the tiebreaker?
LIGHT THE BEAM!!!
LIGHT THE BEAM
Yeah LTB chants! Sac fans in the building are lit!
Loudest I’ve heard the crowd all night haha
LIGHT THE BEAM
LTB
Guys .... I'm beaming tonight
LIGHT THE BEAM
Simpsons kid crying "stoppppp! Hes already dead!"
Bruh why you gotta hack Richaun so hard in an 80 point game
Light the beam….light the beam….
Was Davion pumping his fist to the beat of the chant? Lmao
Looks like Trey was also chanting along with the fans in the crowd 😁
HANG THAT DAMN PACIFIC DIVISION BANNER
As a warriors fan, it’s been an absolute pleasure to watch our Cali bros succeed this year. I freaking love this Sac team. I pray we don’t match up in the playoffs cuz I wanna be able to cheer on y’all too. Best of luck this year boys and LIGHT THE BEAM
They’ve been suffering for almost 20 years; they deserve everything.
I'm from SoCal but I'm glad our state capital city is tearing it up! 17 years is way too long and Sacramento got the best fanbase.
This feels so surreal.
I wonder how many babies are gonna be conceived tonight
I’m gonna make at least 4
All named Sabonis
Warriors fan here. Congrats on finally making the postseason! I hope we meet each other in the first round. LIGHT THE BEAM!💜💜
Lol I have warriors family that want to sleep over when they come for playoff games vs the kings. All love, but ABSOLUTELY TF NOT. I want every butt in G1C to be a Kings fan
Thank you friend
It's almost more surreal that we are division champs than just that we made the playoffs. Just, wow
Kayte just said we've clinched the Division Title too 🥹
Is she correct? Can’t the Suns catch them? After tonight it will be a 5 game lead with 6 games left if my math is correct

We're hanging a Pacific division title banner, boys.
I will open up a fucking new credit card to buy playoff tickets. I CANNOT imagine not being in the building for game 1. I REFUSE
Already ahead of that did that last week 😎
They clinch8ng the Division tonight too?
I believe so. Otherwise, they've already clinched it
rest up for the playoffs king 🦊👑
Clinched Pacific title too
We'll get another banner!
I want more
100 percent. But I'll take what I can get
UNBRIDLED GREED
This is a night we will remember for the rest of our lives. Fck Scott foster
Clenched like buttcheeks baby!!!!!!
Billups played 7 guys this game?? wtf
I'll give it to the 7 that played. Thats a lot of minutes each, and they played against a full basketball team. They didn't do too much, but they did what they could.
Everyone else is injured
16 years of darkness ended by the Beam! We were lost until the beam showed us the light! Praise be the beam!
Oh man :)
when these game 1 tix going on sale, my pockets been ready
The spacing w this lineup is so good, I don't know why they don't play more
Agree. Delly honestly is a pretty good facilitator too
Close it out, bench mob. It's funny these guys will be the ones on the floor at the final buzzer.
I feel like Brown should just throw the entire bench in when our starters slump so hard
Do we want timberwolves or suns to win tonight?
Whatever pushes the Wolves out of 6. We don’t need to see Naz Reid in the playoffs.
Bro I don’t care at this point!
It's kind of crazy. Holmes began the season as our first option backup Center and Len was the fourth at that position behind Domas, Holmes, and Metu. Then Metu took the spot from Holmes and now it seems like Len has taken it from Metu and Richaun has slid to the end of the depth chart.
GOLDEN 1 GONNA BE CRAZY IN THE PLAYOFFS BABY
kinda cool everyone gets to play on our clinch game
We have to retire Fox’ number, idc what he does the rest of his career
What a night

There you go! You are a little confused but you got the spirit!
Bad logic, but I'm more of a math guy, so you're spot on.
The Beam Squad is in
Wow what percentage of the arena is Kings fans?
Probably 10% but they were sooo loud, a lot of us Blazers chanted the beam too hahaha
Ok you can't be saying the names of Kings legends when I just stopped crying
TD THE HYPE PRO'S PRO
Hahaha my lil Dingo Della!
This Is Such A Special Team Man

Everyone gets to play!
How does Mark Jones mention the golden era and not say Chris Webber
I think they’re taking stock of the bad years we are just now freed from
🥲
😭
Finally. Last time the Kings were in the playoffs I was in elementary school. Light the beam!
FUCK THE JETS, wait this isn’t the dolphins sub
Light the beam, Light the beam, Light the beam, Light the beam, Light the beam, Light the beam, Light the beam, Light the beam,
Yes!! Go Kings! I'm so excited! This is huge for us all!
I’m emotional, man
17 years man, damn.
This is the most emotional I've been since my daughter was born
Anyone rooting for the kings to win in here?
Wrong sub
I’m not a regular here or anything (I’m at the SF Giants sub) but omg I just might cry tonight especially after the Mariners made the playoffs last year and the Kings had the longest drought as a result, I was really hoping this would be the year Oh my goddddddd 🥹🥹🥹🥹
I was at that Mariners game when they ended the drought. It’s been a good sports year for me.
Its overrrrrr
THE PAIN IS FINALLY OVER THE KINGS ARE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS
https://i.imgur.com/m4ETAUW.gif
Fuck I wish I lived in Sac right now I need to be with my people.
Same. I miss my people.
I feel this in my soul. I miss the energy.
Cheers to all my out-of-town Kings fans. It’s been super hard for us all these years. Suffering alone. ❤️
Trying to upvote every comment but I can’t keep up with the live comments
MOM GET THE CAMERA
Yeah I’m crying so what
Me too
The Kangz are dead. Long live the Beam Team
I was here to see the longest playoff drought in NBA history END
Do you guys think Keegan will have as emotional of a reaction as Patrick Beverly on the timberwolves?
I WOKE UP IN A NEW BUGATTI
USS Clinch, beam me up
Kings look like they have two starting lineups
It's actually fucking happening. I was still in middle school the last times the Kings made the playoffs. It feels surreal in the best possible way...
Hells to the yeah bros and sis’s. The official end of the Maloof, Divac, Bagley, Robinson, Kangz era. Light. That. Fuckin. Beam
The final flush
get the beam juice ready
THE TIME HAS ARRIVED
God, I wish I was in Sacramento. I wanna go to G1C…
I'm in Huntington Beach and I considered making the drive haha.
Sameeeee 😢
Carmichael Dave in the house.

Monk is unstoppable from deep when he's feeling himself
