Sac Kings Therapy

The Kings welcomed the Cleveland Cavaliers into the Golden 1 Center on Wednesday and gave them a battle. Despite getting outrebounded and overpowered in the paint, the Kings were able to beat the Cavs on their home floor and get their best win of the season so far over a very good Eastern Conference team. The Kings were able to shoot the lights out from 3 and also got to the free throw line a bunc...

The Kings return from their East Coast trip and faced the Warriors at Chase Center in what was a fun back and forth tight game that came down to a final shot. The Kings led for much of the game until a late game rally led by non other than Steph Curry to take the game from the Kings. This game unfortunately felt like deja vu as the Kings take a lead going into the 4th, only to let the opposing tea...

The Kings go into Orlando and beat the Magic on a game winning 3 pointer by De'Aaron Fox. It was a ugly game for the Kings in the 1st half where they were bullied by the Magic ridiculous size and length at all positions. But out of halftime, with shades of the Hornets game, the Kings turned up the intensity on defense and came all the way from a 20-deficit to a 6 point lead going into the 3rd. The...

The Kings go into Miami and lose to the Heat to a game winning 3 from Tyler Herro. The Kings played well enough to win, but breakdowns that have been common throughout the last few seasons came back to haunt the Kings which ultimately cost them the game. The Kings now drop to 2-5 on the season and now go into Orlando to face the Magic Saturday. In other news, Steve Nash has been let go as head coa...

The Kings go into Charlotte and steal a game on the road against the Hornets. Things looked dire in the 1st half for the Kings as they looked out of synch and half asleep on most possessions which let the Hornets shoot a whopping 61% from the field and 53% from 3 point range. But in a bizarre turn of events, the Kings came out of halftime and made adjustments, cut down on mistakes and proceeded to...

Kings get their 1st win of the season against the Miami Heat in the G1C. The Kings came out firing and laid the smackdown on the Heat in the 1st half, before letting their foot off the gas and allowing the Heat to storm back in the 2nd half and almost losing the game. But they were able to stay strong and make enough plays down the stretch to pull the game out. While spirits are high after the win...

The Kings drop their 4th game in a row to remain winless in this young season.  The Kings kept it close for much of the game by going on runs to give the team and their fans hope but the Grizzlies were able to match each run with one of their own until the Kings ran out of gas in the 4th. The theme of this game is the defense, they just kept letting the Grizzlies get into the lane for good sh...

Kings lose both their back to back games against the Clippers and Warriors and drop to 0-3 to start their season. While this is undoubtedly not their preferred result, the Kings have fought back in both games despite being down big, show a sort of spirit and fight that was lacking last season. Wins will be coming at some point but the Play-in race is slated to be tight, and getting off to this sta...

The 2022-23 Kings open their season official on Wednesday against the Portland Trailblazers at home in the G1C.

The vibes are not as strong as the last episode because Kings got a bit of a reality check against the Suns. Coming into Wednesday's game, the Suns rested basically their entire 1st and 2nd unit, leaving only their 3rd and 4th units to face the Kings. In what is a very familiar sight, these scrappy Suns smacked the Kings in the mouth to start and outplayed them for much of the 1st half. While the...

The Kings face the Blazers in the G1C for the 1st time this season and took care of business to say the least. With a great mixture of defense and incredible shooting from 3, the Kings blow the Blazers out by 32 and feeling all the good vibes.
