KINGSPOD 2020

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! And it has been dark as night, to be sure, as the Kings lose 4 of their last 6 before the episode was recorded, with a scheduled loss to the Rockets between the time of recording and this episode's release. Jerj and Toke discuss the losses to The Pacers and The Grizzlies, talk trade potential of Marvin Bagley III, and give out some holiday cheer befo...

Disappointed with the 2-2 week, losing against the god-awful New York Knicks and the slightly awful Charlotte Hornets, Jerj and Toke hash out the state of Kings basketball at the 27 game mark. Toke takes a shot at an Athletic reporter, Jerj takes a shot at the STILL under 500 Kings, despite the easy week, and the fans mailed in about David Stern and a potential Bogdanovic/Fox rivalry narrative.  ...

Eternal enemies of the suckers, chumps, dweebs, schmucks, and BEAN COUNTERS, Jerj and Toke examine in detail the 2-2 road-trip to Portland, San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston, including Nemanja Bjelica's legendary heroics with 1sec on the clock. The Tomato Duo also answer mailbag questions from listeners in this epic feel-good event of the late Autumn season. BOTH TEAMS PLAYED HARD. 

Jerj and Toke go for the FULL HOUR today to discuss the difficult loss to the Bulls and 76ers, the win against Denver, and the state of the team at the quarter-season mark.  Jerj goes over his theory on beating bad teams, Toke responds to a secret behind-closed-doors correspondence, and the Maloofs get mentioned in this KINGS POD MARATHON!

Jerj and Toke go into extra time to discuss the Sacramento Kings' losses in Brooklyn and Boston, the choice of giving the ball to Bogdanovic for the last shot, Harry Giles III's minutes, what the team will look like with Marvin Bagley III back, Luke Walton's progress, and expectations coming back home from the road trip.

Jerj and Toke discuss the close loss to the Lakers, the close win to the Celtics, and the almost could've-should've-been-a-blowout-but-still-a-win to the Suns. But mostly they discuss NBA facial hair trends, Lakers vs. Kings refereeing, and the potential to get to the 8th seed in the West.

Jerj and Toke discuss the home win against the Portland Trailblazers without their star player, De'Aaron Fox (and the continued absence of Marvin Bagley THE THIRD). Other topics include the state of Basketball Bean Counting, Inc. and the COSMIC ENERGY required to get to 39 wins.

In this first episode, Jerj and Toke skip the intros and discuss the "loser mentality" of the city of Sacramento and its basketball sports team, the KANGZ. Toke makes his case that other small market fan-bases don't have the same "we suck" attitude that the Kings do. Later, we discuss the current situation with the Kings (27:18) and predictions for the games in Toronto and Atlanta.
