Russell Westbrook jumps on the 6-7 bandwagon — and is immediately booed
Wednesday night, The Sacramento Kings continued their loser with a loss of 121-95 times the loss on hand the Houston Rockets. The Kings managed to stay relatively competitive in the first half of this game, but were outscored in the second half by 27 points en route to a tough loss.
It was a decent game for Russell Westbrookwho scored 12 points with nine assists and four rebounds against his former team, the Rockets, at one point reaching the basket for an easy dunk and then waving his arms in the air and guessed the viral “6-7” meme that has been making the rounds in recent months.
The fans in the stands weren’t exactly receptive to the celebration, booing their team’s former point guard as he returned to the other end of the floor.
All in all, it’s been a disastrous season for the Kings so far in 2025-26. As many fans predicted heading into the campaign, the Kings’ offense features an ugly barrage of mid-range jumpers from players like DeMar DeRozan, Westbrook and Domantas Sabonis, looking more like a 2009 NBA offense than one that can thrive in 2025-26.
Making matters worse is the fact that the Kings have next to nothing in the way of young talent on their team, with veterans like these three and Zach LaVine soaking up most of the minutes and not producing winning results.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise at this point that the Kings have been shrouded in trade rumors as their season continues to grow, but it’s certainly worth wondering what exactly the team could get for some of their veterans given the way they’ve played this year.
The Kings will next take the floor Saturday night against the Miami Heat on the road at 8:00 PM ET.
