Sac Kings Therapy

The Kings lose to the Bucks without Giannis in Milwaukee in a game where the Kings hung around for way longer than they had any business of doing and made the Bucks work for it. It was a good effort from the Kings but it just makes Kings fans question why they don't bring it like this against teams like the Rockets and Pistons. It's the story of the Kings this season, they bring it against the goo...

The Kings actually found a way. It's quite impressive really, that they manage to blow a double digit with 3 minutes left in this game to lose to the Pistons on the home floor. Even worse, that wasn't the only double digit lead they blew in this game! This team is an absolute adventure and it doesn't look to be changing anytime soon if this group of players is going to remain on this roster. As it...

The Kings take on the Rockets twice in the G1C in the span of 3 days and split the series on their home floor. In these 2 games, the Kings look to have gotten some of their offensive identity back and sliced up the Rockets defense in both games. But they've also shown their primary warts that we've seen all season, the lack of boxing out, starting the games falling flat on their face and having to...

Kings get a win! It's felt like an eternity! And it's against the Lakers! For the first time this season, the Kings fans in the Golden 1 Center got one over on the Lakers fans in their home arena. The Kings rediscovered their offense and walloped the Lakers in the 3rd, very reminiscent of the beating the Lakers put on Kings 2 months ago in the same building, but this time with the roles reversed.&...

The Kings started this series of back to back games by falling flat on their face in Portland, against a team missing 4 of their starters and running on a skeleton crew of backups and 3rd stringers. It looked like the Kings had completely given up on the season and were just out there trying to get some cardio in. However, on the 2nd night of the back to back, they showed up against a much more fo...

The Kings went to Denver and took a pounding from the Nuggets and their MVP Nikola Jokic. The Kings just looked disconnected and out of sorts most of the game and the Nuggets just took care of business. The Kings have now lost 3 in a row and along with Kings fans look like they're waiting on the trade deadline for something to happen to shake things up for this team.  In the return of the Rav...

Kings lose in disappointing fashion to the Lakers and Hawks in this back to back stretch. Both games, the Kings came out flat in the first quarter and it basically lost them both games. If they had come out strong or just competent, they likely get into blowout territory early on and put the game away early. But alas, they make it hard on themselves for the sake of it and waste 2 brilliant games f...

Kings start the New Year off right with a win against a depleted but still tough as nail Heat team. The Kings played a good enough overall game on both ends but it wouldn't have been possible without the explosion of Buddy Hield in the late 3rd and early 4th quarter and the late game heroics of De'Aaron Fox. Kings still have a lot work to do, but at least for now they start 2022 the right way.

The Kings end the year on a downer as they lose to the Mavericks on their home floor in demoralizing fashion. It's basically the same story, they missed shots and then allow the opposing team to get easy buckets on the other end, it's the absolute worst version of the Kings. What makes it more frustrating is that they played well to start the game and the 2nd half, so we got the complete Kings rol...

Kings get 2 UGLY wins against the Thunder and Mavs in back to back games. Against the Thunder, the Kings weathered a dreadful scoring drought in the 3rd quarter before turning up in the 4th to win going away. In the Mavs game, Kings went up 13 early in the 3rd quarter before squandering that lead with a series of elementary school turnovers to let the Mavericks right back into the game and needing...

Kings lose once again to the Memphis Grizzlies in the G1C for the 2nd time this season. It was unfortunately a similar showing that the Kings are well known for, be competitive for a half, and then completely fall apart in the 2nd. It's an all too familiar story for the Kings and one doesn't look to get any better any time soon.  But, Podcast hosts Owen and Fong try to lighten the mood with a...

The Kings lose an ugly game to Clippers in the G1C in their final game before Christmas. Haliburton, despite a magnificent 22 point 13 assist game, had 7 turnovers, Buddy was 5-22 from the field, Holmes in his return, only played 17 minutes but had 3 turnovers. All this on top of the fact half of the King's regular rotation is still out in Health and Safety Protocols. One may look at this 5 game s...

Due to technical difficulties, we are going to be including a 3 games in one episode bundle. The first 3 games was against the Grizzlies, whom the Kings had to face with almost half of their regular rotation missing. They went up 15 in the 2nd quarter but made a series silly mistakes that let the Grizzlies take the lead back before the half and they never looked back.  Next up was the Spurs,...

The Kings get a nice home win against the struggling Wizards on their home floor in the G1C. The Kings looked sluggish for parts of the game and at any point would let a slight lead snowball to a 20+ point deficit. But the Kings fought, and never let the slight deficits get too out of control until they unleashed their own avalanche in the 4th quarter to win the game going away. Good win for the K...

The Kings lose their season series against the Raptors with a decisive defeat in Toronto. The Raps were bigger, stronger and longer at just about every position and they used those gifts to pressure the Kings until they folded. It is the 3rd loss in a row for the Kings and this gets the Kings an 0-3 record on this road trip.  The Kings will have to find a way to repair their broken spirits af...

The Kings open their east coast road trip with a heartbreaking loss in Charlotte with 7 of their players missing, followed up by a ass whooping by the Cavaliers. One common theme in these 2 losses, the Kings not playing any defense and allowing the opposing team to do whatever they want. The Kings have a lot of self reflection to do before they head into Toronto on Monday, and try and rediscover t...

Kings take care of business against the Magic on their home floor in the G1C and win 142-130. Defense was very much optional in this game, but the Kings played just enough of it to hold the Magic at bay. This gives the Kings a 3 game winning streak and actually puts them a half-game ahead of the Blazers in the standings, moving them into the 10th spot in the Western Conference.  They now head...

The Kings beat the Clippers for the 1st time ever in the Golden 1 Center on Saturday night! The Kings played terrific on both ends of the court throughout, and were able to hold off the Clippers late with the help of a white hot Terence Davis to seal the victory.  With these 2 victories against the Clippers, the Kings have recaptured some momentum and seemingly some of their confidence back....

The Kings go into LA in the 2nd game of a back to back and handle business the Clippers. Yes, the Kings handled business, it's actually possible. After the loss against the Lakers, the Kings managed to pick up the pieces and regroup to get this victory against the Clippers without Paul George.  Did the Kings figure something out in this game, is there something they can build off of? This giv...

Kings collapse against the Lakers in the 2nd half against the Lakers in the G1C as they were outscored 67-33 in the final 24 minutes of the game. The 1st 24 minutes of the game however were terrific for the Kings as they absolutely pounded the Lakers to 59-50 lead going into halftime, which is what makes this game all the more disappointing and frustrating if you're a Kings fan. The Kings travel t...

There are things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, things to be happy about, but the Kings ain't one of them as they get absolutely stomped by the Grizzlies in Memphis. The Grizz got off to an 11-0 start and never looked back. The King's defense was lackluster, and their offense was almost worse. The Kings continue to be an inconsistent team and there will likely be trades coming down the line...

Not 1, not 2 but 3 OVERTIMES was what it took to settle this game between the Kings and Lakers on Friday night. It was an ugly game to start, and things looked grim for the Kings when the Lakers went up by 13 early in the 4th. But the Kings showed grit, and fought their way back to force overtime, and then a 2nd overtime, before overcoming the Lakers in the 3rd overtime.  This is a great win...

The Kings get a much needed win the night before Thanksgiving against the Trailblazers in the G1C. In a game where DeAaron Fox is ejected, the Kings get a huge boost from Damien Jones and of all people, Marvin Bagley. Jones and Bagley made huge plays down the stretch that ultimately let the Kings get separation while Davion, Tyrese, Buddy and the rest of the regular rotations did their thing. This...

The Alvin Gentry era is upon us! "Gone is the incompetency of Luke Walton" said the fans. "Luke Walton has no idea what he's doing and is holding the team back!" And for 3 quarter, those Kings fans looked like they right, but then the 4th quarter came and the Kings fell into their usual bad habit and lose the game down the stretch against a depleted 76ers team that was without Embiid, Curry, Harri...

The Kings fall to both the Raptors and Jazz in a back to back at home games in the G1C. This was enough for Kings to pull the plug on Luke Walton and fire him. Alvin Gentry has been promoted to interim head coach and will try to get this King's team back on track.  Was this the right decision? It's hard to make any case that Luke's run in Sacramento was successful, but Walton will be remember...
