Thought Game 3's winner would likely win this series... it certainly appears that Dallas is in the driver's seat now.

Every year, as the Kings championship dreams go up in smoke, there always is at least one game that is a "punch to the balls" type of loss.

In 1999, vs the Jazz, Games 4 (Stockton's shot with 0.8 seconds) and 5 (losing an OT heartbreaker).

Not really much in 2000 and 2001, it went down kinda painless.

But in 2002, vs the Lakers, Games 4 and 7.

This year, if the Mavs win the series (and the series has drastically swung in favor of the Mavs to win), Game 2 (because of the Webber injury much moreso than the 83 the Mavs dropped on us in the 1st half) and Game 3 (blowing yet another game at home) are the games which will sicken me.

Between the Kings and the Chiefs playoff losses in 1997, 1995, and 1990, there's been a lot of torment...
