Kings get an impressive win in Toronto. This wasn't some team that had phoned it in for the rest of the season. The Raptors are currently fighting for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference and the Kings just dealt a huge blow to them in that regard. The Raptors looked as though they would overwhelm the Kings with their on ball pressure and athleticism, but Precious Achiuwa dominated th...

The best of all worlds, the Kings play some competitive games, develop their young guys, and lose the game, serving almost all of their masters. In the Hawks game, the Kings kept it competitive all game despite being overmatched. And in the Nets game, they made it interesting at least in the 2nd half before succumbing to Brooklyn's hot shooting. These 2 losses puts them right in the thick of t...

It's the best of both worlds. If you're a Kings fan that likes to see the Kings be a good team, you got what you wanted. And if you're a fan that wants the Kings to lose so they can maintain their draft position, you got what you wanted as well. Against the Magic, the Kings played a competitive game where they ultimately ran out of time at the end to complete a comeback. It's the m...

There are 9 more games left, that's about the only positive from this game as the Kings lose by 44 in Charlotte. Kings came in shorthanded and the Hornets pounced immediately by bombing from 3 and never let up to the tune of 26 made 3s. The only thing to look forward to is for Kings fans is the hope they can get some fortune in the lottery in May. This loss helps, so there's that. Use code...

Well, the question has to be asked again, did the Kings win or lose. They won this game, but lost the war for lottery position. Only time will tell, but as it stands, the Kings get a win at home before embarking on the final road trip of the season with 8 games to go. In other news, Owen got to enjoy a lot of March Madness basketball and he has plenty of thoughts on top prospects Darryn Peterson,...

Alas, another loss for the Kings in this season. The Kings were in a hole early but were able to come back and lead briefly, only for the Sixers to get control back and never relinquish it. The Kings simply don't have the fire power to match teams like the Sixers and it's an issue they need to address in the off-season. In addition to the game, Owen and Fong talk about the WNBA coming to t...

Well, fans don't have debate whether a win is good or bad for the Kings because the Kings get absolutely destroyed by the San Antonio Spurs at home. The Spurs kept hitting 3 after 3 after 3 and the Kings did very little to deter that. Kings are still very far away but Owen and Fong talk about how thing may not be as gloomy as they seem. They then discuss the wrestling over the weekend, such as...

The Kings got 2 very impressive back to back wins against the white hot Clippers and the Utah Jazz. But fans are mixed in how they feel about the Kings winning those games. One side is simply happy for the Kings winning and the other side is upset about the Kings lowering their odds at the lottery in May. Are their feelings valid? Or are they throwing a fuss what will ultimately be nothing? Or is...

In the Tankathon finals on Tuesday, the Kings looked dead in the water against the Pacers. But then Devin Carter turned it on and brought the Kings and the G1C back to life with a scintillating comeback down 20 to win the game. While Pro-Tankers will be upset the Kings lost ground in the Tankathon rankings, games like the ones against the Pacers are the blueprint for the type of games the Kings sh...

It's nice to get a win every now and then, especially at home for your fans. The Kings had a great offensive game where they passed the ball around plenty, got great shots and simply outworked the Chicago Bulls. They were led by an impressive triple double performance from Westbrook and the passing became contagious and it ultimately led to the win. Next up will be a back to back at home again...

It's been a tough season, Kings have lost a bunch and there's is little to look forward to for this season. But recently Coach Doug Christie turned the corner and began to play the young guys on the team in a move to prioritize development of the youth on the team. But not on this night, as he closed with a veteran heavy lineup with no minutes for Clifford, Raynaud, Devin and others. Owen...

The Kings simply got outplayed on 2 main fronts. They got destroyed on the boards by Phoenix who were simply bigger and played harder than the Kings on that end and ended with 18 offensive rebounds. But it may not have been as big had they not gotten molly whopped from the 3 point line by 36 points. These are issues the Kings will need to address going into this offseason if they have any hope of...

The Kings lose their 3rd game to the Lakers this season, and it wasn't ever really close. The Kings offense struggled to ever get a rhythm on offense, and on defense they got lit up from the 3 point line all night. It's been a problem for a few years now and it's compounded when they can't hit their 3s on offense. Kings now return home after this 5 game road trip to face the Suns T...

We'll take any win we can. That's the attitude of hosts Owen and Fong who have endured a miserable season of losing. And while the Kings lost to the Rockets in demoralizing fashion, they did beat a depleted Mavericks team in an impressive manner on the 2nd night of a back to back. While wins and losses really don't matter in the short term, the long term development of the team will li...

They had to work for it, but they got the win over an injury-riddled Memphis Grizzlies team to break their 16 game losing streak. It wasn't easy, the Grizzlies made them work for despite them getting up double digits multiple times but the Kings hit big shot after big shot to secure its first win in a month. They'll be off to Texas now to face the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks o...

Kings hung tough for a lot of game, and that's about all you can ask for nowadays from this team. They say it's a make or miss league. At the end of the 2nd and 3rd quarters, the Kings missed a few makeable shots while the Spurs hit theirs. That was basically the difference in this game and gave the Spurs the separation they needed to start blowing the Kings out. The losing streak now exte...

Just when Owen thought it'd be nice to steer away from the draft reform conversations and take a back seat to actual Kings basketball, we get this game ... The Kings lost by 37 to the Magic in their first game since All-Star Break as the Magic couldn't miss from 3 no matter what the Kings did. In addition, news came out that Kings will be without Zach Lavine and Domantas Sabonis for the re...

No Kings game until Thursday, but plenty of things have happened around the league. The Jazz and Pacers received BIG fines for sitting their players when healthy, which led fixing the NBA draft a big topic in the last few days. Oh, and All Star Weekend happened and while not everything hit, the event overall was ... good? Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during che...

With every successive loss, the Kings tank only gets stronger. The Kings didn't have it on offense or defense tonight as they get ransacked by an also tanking Jazz team. The Kings go into the All-Star break having lost 14 consecutive games and look like they very much could use the break to reset and reconvene.

The Kings lose the Tankbowl game to the Pelicans rather decisively. But we will see in May if they will have won the war. The Kings offense was a mess all night and gave up a bunch transition buckets and that was the game. On to the next one. Owen and Fong then discuss the Superbowl, Cyberpunk Edgerunners and the Fallout season 2 finale. Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on...

The Kings losing streak has extended to 12, yet the vibes aren't as bad as you might think. As the deadline has passed, it is clear that the Kings have shifted their #1 priority to the development of the rookies and young guys on the team. And despite the back to back losses, they've been super competitive and fun to watch. Against the Clippers, they forced the Clippers to earn their win d...

The 2026 NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and lots of trades happened. But for better or worse, the Kings were barely involved. Outside of the trade to acquire De'Andre Hunter, the Kings made no other trades. Fans including yours truly were disappointed, but is it a good thing or a bad thing? Owen goes through his thoughts on how he feels about the Kings post-trade deadline. Use code SKT1...

It was a weird vibe in the G1C, there was an air of uneasiness. Perhaps it's the looming trade deadline that everyone in the building knows is coming. Either way, the Kings welcomed new addition De'Andre Hunter to the team and it's definitely a work in progress. The story of the game is definitely how the Kings mixed in the vets and young guys on the team and how the chemistry of these...

The Kings can't seem to win in Washington, as just like last year they lost to a tanking Wizards team that purposely played their young players and not their starters in crunchtime and the Kings still couldn't close it out. This game however took a back seat to any discussions about the Kings as the Kings made a trade that brings them De'Andre Hunter in exchange for Keon Ellis, Dennis...
