Kings lose an ugly one to the struggling Timberwolves in Minnesota. Most if not all the King's biggest issues were on full display, poor defensive communication, lack of ball movement, bad 4th quarter offense, etc. The Kings go an incredibly disappointing 1 of 4 on this road trip and now head back to the G1C for a tough 4 game homestand. Let's hope the Kings rediscover what got them some success e...

The Kings win! They break their 4 game losing streak by beating the Pistons in the Motor City.

The next stop will be at Minnesota, where the...

The Kings lose to the Thunder in OKC, which has set the fanbase ablaze. So much so, Owen had to redo the episode because he was so bewildered by the result that he wasn't able to collect his thoughts until a day later. While it's not the end of the world, the season is still young but if the Kings don't straighten themselves out and put an end to this 4 game losing streak, their hopes of a playoff...

The Kings go into San Antonio and get smoked by the Spurs who were white hot from the 3 point line. The Kings lose their 3rd straight and there's a lot more bad than good to go over from this game. One good thing however is that De'Aaron Fox seemingly has rediscovered his rhythm with 37 points and 6 assists. If he can continue to build on this and the rest of the team can maintain their consistent...

The Kings lose a close one against the Suns where they trailed by as much as 21 in the 4th before scratching and clawing to just down 3 with 7.4 seconds to go. Had the Kings won this game this would be the story everyone is talking about, but instead, we have to talk about the disgraceful performance by the Kings in the 3rd quarter that put them in a 20 point hole that got the entire G1C booing th...

Kings lose a tough one against the Pacers in the G1C. Kings struggled to make shots all night against a tough Pacers defense. But they fought back with their own defense forcing a lot of turnovers from the Pacers to make it a close game until the very end. A theme is emerging in Kings losses, they are outrebounded and shoot poorly from 3, and in this game both happened. The Kings take on the Suns...

The Kings run the Hornets off the floor in the G1C in what was a shootout between the 2 teams for much of the game with the Kings winning this one convincingly by 30 points.

Kings vs Hornets: 0:54 WWE releases: 26:52 

Kings get their 1st win in the Golden 1 Center in almost 20 months against a depleted Pelicans team. While Owen and Fong have their gripes about the competitive of a game the Kings allowed this be, they took care of business and got the win against a lesser team.  Fox looks like he's finally getting back on track, Haliburton took over for stretches throughout the game and Barnes continues to...

Kings lose another tough one to the Jazz in Utah, and while it's corny and tired at this point to say the Kings were able to go toe to toe with a top team, their ability to hang with the Jazz is an encouraging sign. Now, in order to beat a team like the Jazz, the Kings will need to play a near perfect game, which they did not, but again it's not all bad.  Kings did a lot of good things this game a...

The Kings lose to Luka and the Mavericks in Dallas today, yes today because this game started at 12:30 PM PST which was super weird. The Kings shot horrendously from 3, almost like the rims weren't actual regulation rims. All the while the Mavs shot just well enough to get by to put away the Kings. While it was an ugly game from the King's side, outside of their 3 point shooting, they were better...

Kings take care of business against the Pelicans in the Smoothie King Center. While it was a ugly win and the Kings let the Pelicans hang around for way too long, the Kings show that they can put away teams that they are supposed to.  There's still a lot to figure out for the Kings, such as closing out games (The lead got down to 3 in the closing seconds after holding a comfortable lead for much o...

Kings did let the Suns tie the game with 35 seconds despite leading by 10 with 2:38 to go, but Kings continue to show grit and...

The Kings go into Portland and open the season on a tough win but fall to the Jazz in their home opener at the Golden 1 Center.
