Sacramento Kings superfan Devlin Carter confirmed he called out the team’s defensive effort midway through Wednesday’s 112-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns, an exchange that got him escorted out of Golden 1 Center.<\/p>\n
The television broadcast captured Carter’s impassioned remarks from behind Sacramento’s bench as he was being held back by arena security.<\/p>\n
In a pair of Instagram Stories (via Anuj Talwalkar<\/a> of EssentiallySports), Carter acknowledged he was kicked out of the venue but added “at least the Kings fans feel me.” He wrote in a follow-up post that “we aint come here to watch yall not play defense.”<\/p>\n That about sums up the vibes in Sacramento. The Kings are off to a 5-14 start and they could be looking at a third straight year of missing the playoffs.<\/p>\n Ironically, though, the offense has been a slightly bigger culprit in the team’s overall malaise. Doug Christie’s squad ranks 28th in offensive rating<\/a> and 24th in defensive rati<\/a>n<\/a>g<\/a>, per NBA.com.<\/p>\n For the fans who have been following the team all year, the specifics don’t really matter. The Kings’ performances haven’t been good enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sacramento Kings superfan Devlin Carter confirmed he called out the team’s defensive effort midway through Wednesday’s 112-100 loss…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[355,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-318338","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-nba","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
