The 5-1 Sacramento Kings took on the 1-5 Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, and those won-loss records weren’t transposed in the slightest.
Sacramento has benefited from All-Star caliber play from an under control DeMarcus Cousins, while OKC has been decimated by injuries -- not only to the team’s two best players in Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, but to others who play meaningful minutes, as well.
In a pregame speech intended to motivate his teammates, Kendrick Perkins didn’t seem too impressed with the Kings and their strong start, telling them that despite it all, “these mother f---ers are still the Sacramento Kings.”
Perkins may not have been wrong on this night, as the Thunder came away with the 101-93 victory in spite of the apparent mismatch.
The not-safe-for-work clip which includes the expletive from Perkins can be seen below.
