Sac Kings Therapy

We then go through Games 2 & 3 of the NBA Finals between the Nuggets and the...

All 3 are incredibly dynamic scorers with huge questions on other the other aspects of the game.

It's been a wild weekend in the basketball as well as the wrestling world. Starting with the Heat advancing to the NBA Finals to match up with the Nuggets after an insane end to game 6 and an anti-climatic game 7 where the Heat dominated the Celtics to win the series.

With little to no news regarding the Kings lately, Owen and Fong decide to go over some tape of Sasha Vezenkov and how he would fit on the Kings. Spoiler alert: he would fit in beautifully. Because it was a quiet news week for the Kings, Owen decides to spice things up with a quiz for Fong on the Kings, let's see how he does. Afterwards, they recap the weekend of crazy news, Lakers end the War...

We did the 5 best wins on the last episode, so it's only right we do the 5 worst losses of the season this episode. It was actually fun to go down memory lane for this season as we went through some of the losses that we had forgotten or blocked out of our minds. Going through these losses we not only relived some fun memories that were painful at the time but we also saw the journey of how fa...

This was actually a tough list to make, because for the 1st time in almost 2 decades, the Kings won more games than they lost, and substantially more. It was to reiterate for the thousandth time, a magical season for the Kings and what better way to look back at the season than to go through their season and pick out our 5 best wins of the season. There was a lot to choose from so this was a fun e...

Even though the King's 2022-23 season is over, Sac Kings Therapy does not stop, we will continue to have episodes throughout the offseason. First up is the 2022-23 Season in review. Fong and Owen go through every single player on the team and give them a grade on their performance. They then talk about the player's exit interviews and then end with a discussion of news around the Kings and...

It was do or die time, the battle tested Warriors against the young upstart Kings in the most high intensity battleground of them all, a Game 7. It was a battle in the 1st half, both teams were trading shots back and forth with the Kings coming out with the slightest of advantages. The game was up for grabs and it was a matter who was going to take it in the 2nd half. Well ... it was the Warriors,...

It felt inevitable, at some point the Warriors are going to go on run to take the lead and end the King's season. This was while the Kings had been hovering around 10 points ahead of the Warriors for the end of the 3rd and the start of the 4th quarter. And when Curry started the 4th on a heater, the end seemed to be near for the Kings. But the Kings instead just ... took it in stride and hit r...

Well, it's happened, a team in this series has won a game on the road. That team unfortunately isn't the Kings, but instead the Warriors who were able to win a crucial road game in Golden 1 Center to take control of the series 3-2 over the Kings. The Kings started out hot from 3, making 8 of 12 from distance in the 1st quarter. They would proceed to go 2 of 22 for the rest of the game. Whi...

News came out Monday morning that Fox had a fracture on his left index finger, later clarified that it was an avulsion fracture to the tip of his index finger. The Kings seem very optimistic that he will likely play in game 5. It will be interesting to see if he gets cleared to go and whether he will be hampered by the injury. In other Kings news, Keegan Murray finishes 5th in Rookie of the Year v...

The Kings lose a heartbreaker in San Francisco as they fall to the Warriors 125-126. The bad news is that the Kings have let the Warriors back in the series with plenty of momentum. The good news is that this was an incredibly close game where 1 or 2 plays go the King's way, they very much could be up 3-1 right now. But that's where the Kings lost this game, because they fumbled so many op...

A disappointing loss for the Kings, who came into the game with all the momentum, with the added bonus of Draymond and GPII out for the game. It was a golden opportunity to really step on the defending champ’s throats and to end the series early. But it was not to be, the Kings shot 38% for the game and 24% from 3, they never found their offense and despite playing pretty well on defense, their la...

The Kings outplay the Warriors once again on their home floor to go up 2-0 in the series. Despite another poor shooting game and Draymond pulling out all the tricks to get the Kings flustered (including trying to use Sabonis's chest as a trampoline) the Kings battled and out-hustled the defending champs to pull out the victory. In a rare game for the Kings this season, the Kings won this game...

It's been 17 excruciating years for the Kings faithful. Endless losing for a decade and a half, 2 relocation attempt, fans throwing up on the court, you name it, Kings fans have been through it all. But it's for moments like tonight that show why the Kings fans are some of the best fans in the world, as all of that pent up energy and emotion was released and it powered the Kings to their 1...

Fong and Owen return this week to lay the stage for the 1st ever playoff matchup between the Warriors and the Kings. What are the matchups going to look like, who are X-factors for both teams? We discuss it all, including the social media battles that are being waged by the most rowdy fans of the NorCal teams. We also discuss the events of the Play-in games so far, the Hawks destroyed the Heat on...

The Kings faced off against the Warriors for the 4th and final time this season in the G1C and it was a bit ... uneventful. With the Grizzlies securing the 2 seed the same night, the Kings decided to rest DeAaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, Kevin Huerter and Malik Monk. Meanwhile, the Warriors played all their guys with the exception of Andrew Wiggins. The Warriors would proceed to rout the Kings as th...

Kings go into New Orleans and avenge the stinker they had earlier this season in the Big Easy, and also wash the bad taste out of their mouth after the Spurs loss. After Coach Brown called them out for being soft on defense after the Spurs loss, the Kings came out with a higher level of intensity on that end this game. It wasn’t perfect, but the Kings were active, they took away the go to spots of...

Another tough loss at home against a tanking team for the Kings as they fall to the Spurs. It’s another game in the G1C where the Kings struggled from 3. While they had 11 makes, it was on 44 attempts and they missed SSSOOOO many open ones. And when the offense isn’t hitting shots, their defense has to be on point, and yea … that didn’t happen. Credit to the Spurs for being a stingy team that play...

The Kings beat the Blazers again on Friday night. It wasn't as much of a blowout as last game but they controlled the game basically from the start. The Blazers fought hard and hung in there for much of the game, but the Kings were just too much for them and the Blazers simply ran out of gas in the 4th. The Kings move on to 47 wins on the season, and look to close in on 50 wins before season&#...

The Kings have finally done it. After 17 long years, which included an ownership change, 2 relocation attempts, endless chaos and constant losing, the Kings have officially turned the corner by clinching their 1st playoff berth since 2006. The Kings can finally get that monkey off their back and move forward to what is hopefully a new chapter for the franchise. The Kings and their fans can breathe...

It twas not be, the Kings could have clinched on Sunday night had the Warriors beaten the Wolves, but the Wolves survived. Which set up what would’ve been a great ending to the 16 year drought with the Kings winning and clinching a playoff spot on their home floor. But the Kings went cold from 3, and the Wolves were once again able to survive against the Kings on the 2nd night of a back to back in...

The Kings welcomed the Suns into G1C for the 2nd time this season and ... it started out ugly. The Suns were absolutely dissecting the Kings. Kings could not contact Booker at all, and CP3 absolutely sliced up the Kings defense with his passing. On top of all that, the Suns out rebounded the Kings and beat them to what felt like every loose ball. The only saving grace for the Kings was that the Su...
