Kings' center Brad Miller admitted to the Sacramento Bee recently that he has a difficult time dealing with losing.

"I hate losing, hate it," said Miller. "I'm a real competitive person, and I get real grouchy and hard to be around. It's tough to get up mentally for games. I'm not a vocal person, but I'm trying to help Spence [Hawes] and Jason [Thompson] with the little things. ... There is a fine line between being successful or being out of the league, or being on the bench your whole career."

The Kings were 7-23 entering Sunday night's game against the Celtics.
