Sac Kings Therapy

Kings weren't able to handle the Grizzlies on this night, Zach Edey was too big and their ball movement seemingly befuddled the Kings enough to hand the Kings a loss in the G1C. Kings fought hard but were simply overwhelmed. Kings have now lost their last 3 and the Rockets are next on their schedule. It's not getting easier anytime soon.

The Kings go into Utah and just ... lose. There's no real explanation for it, they just didn't show up. The offense struggled, and the defense was ... well, the defense. It's one of those 1 of 82 games where things didn't go their way but it also just wasn't their game. So wrap this away and onto the next one.

The Kings came out Wednesday night and got absolutely punked by the Suns in the 1st quarter 41-16. And that was the game, even though the Kings outscored them 13 point the rest of the game, they still lost by 12. The King's turnovers, rebounding and general lack of urgency and physicality cost them big time and the Suns just big boyed them for most of the game. This ends the King's 2 game...

What a 2 game winning streak does to a team and its fanbase. Kings went from looking absolutely hopeless after the Memphis debacle to now getting 2 very impressive wins against upper tier Western Conference opponents. Against the Wolves tonight they were kept at arms distance for much of the game but stayed close by playing hard as hell and never going away. When crunch time hit, they entered anot...

The Kings snap their 8 game losing streak by picking up a hard fought win in Denver. The Nugget pounded the Kings from 3 and the boards for most of the night but the Kings kept fighting to keep it close. Then in the 4th quarter Russell Westbrook harnessed his hatred for how the Nuggets treated him after last season and absolutely barbequed them. A lot of things needed to go right for the Kings to...

The King's losing streak is now 9, after a tough loss to the Thunder and a beatdown against the Grizzlies. The Thunder game showed what the Kings could be when they were locked in. They remain competitive throughout the game but simply couldn't keep up with the Thunder. But this was the Thunder so to a certain degree it's understandable and if they show up with that level of effort the...

No Wemby, no problem! As the Kings lose to the Spurs behind former Kings De'Aaron Fox's 28 points and 11 assists. It was another inspired but ultimately losing effort from the Kings where they couldn't get on track on offense for much of the game and the defense never found it connectivity. The Kings continue to struggle and it's unclear if they'll be getting a win anytime soon...

The Kings followed up their embarrassing performance against the Hawks with a respectable showing against Minnesota. It unfortunately still ended in a decisive loss, but the effort was there, and that's all we can ask for. It's the sad state the Kings are in currently, 3-10, 13th in the Western Conference with very little way to turn things around with the current construction of the team....

Kings played their first game on NBC in 23 years and they actually showed out. They unfortunately did not pick up the win but they didn't go down to the Nuggets without a fight and that's something they could hang their hat on. But that energy did not carry over into the game next night against the Hawks as the Kings get obliterated by 33. The Kings got destroyed in transition and they cou...

(Apologies for the cold open, ran into technical issues so no intro on this episode) Welp, the Kings are in a rut as they get blown out in humiliating fashion again at home. The offense is struggling to find a groove with all of their high usage guys and the defense is just turrible. The body language during the game was great either, and Coach Christie's message about defense is is antithetic...

The Kings were just not up to task in beating the Thunder. Their defense was swiss cheese and their offense had very little success against the Thunder's suffocating defense. It's a bleak reminder that there are levels to this game, and the Kings are quite a few levels below the Thunder.

It was the battle of the shorthanded teams as the Kings without Zach Lavine and Domantas Sabonis battled the Warriors without Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler. The game started out in the Warrior's favor as the Kings struggled on offense and their defense was getting shredded. They would turn the game in their favor in the 3rd quarter and then it was a shootout in the 4th in which...

The Kings traveled to Denver and were unfortunately soundly beaten by the Nuggets. The Kings hung tough the entire game and didn't give in and kept fighting, but the Nuggets were just too much for them to handle. The Kings did play well, so hopefully they're able to build off of this despite the loss. Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use...

For the first time since 2015, the Kings get a win in Milwaukee. And it was much needed one too. The Kings had lost their last 3 and really needed to show something here, and they did. Despite starting out absolutely horribly, where it looked like they were going to get blown out by 30, they slowly clawed their way back and by halftime it was 1 point game. And out of halftime, they kept up the pre...

The Kings lose their first back to back games in the stretch of hell on their schedule. While the games were very different they lost both in similarly heartbreaking fashion. In the Thunder game, they had control of the game for most of the 48 mins but faltered down the stretch to give up the lead late. But they fought valiantly in a defense heavy battle against the defending champs. The Bulls gam...

The Lakers walked into G1C without Luka and Lebron and it wasn't an issue as Austin Reaves drops a 51 point game to beat the Kings. The Kings offense wasn't smooth for a lot of the game and their defense was a mess for a lot of it. It was a game they really needed to win considering the circumstances, as they now head into the stretch of hell in their schedule where wins are gonna be rrrrr...

They finally did it, the Kings finally win a home opener in G1C history (if you don't count the pandemic year). And it wasn't easy as the Kings had to deal with a gigantic Utah Jazz frontline that for most of the night overwhelmed the Kings with their size. But the Kings kept fighting and were able to force the Jazz to make mistakes and overcome their size deficiencies to win the game. Goo...

It was looking ssoooo good, Kings were playing nice defense, scoring in bunches and all was well and good. And then the 2nd half came and the Kings lost their rhythm, the Suns got going and all came crumbling down. While it is only the 1st game of the season, it's not a great sign of things to come if the Kings want to be consistent with their energy and intensity throughout a 48 minute game....

Well, another preseason game, another loss. And this one a lot more demoralizing as the Clippers showed that they were on a totally different level to the Kings. There is still time for the team to hammer things out but there is noticeable gap between the Kings and an upper tier team like the Clippers and it's hard to see how the Kings close that gap. It was a busy day for the Kings on the tra...

Bad weekend for Kings fans and Niner fans as there was a series of injuries that happened. First it was announced Sunday morning that Keegan had torn the UCL on his left thumb and needs surgery which would sideline him for 4-6 weeks. With the Kings lack of depth at the wing position, there will be a gargantuan void at that position for the Kings to start the season. And if the Keegan news wasn&#39...

Kings lose their 2nd preseason game in Portland. They played better but still showed a lot of the issues that plagued them in the game against the Raptors. That is if you were able to watch the game with the Blazers broadcast which frustrated Owen and Fong to no end with their endless replays, many of which happened while the game was happening so they missed a lot of Kings possessions as a result...

FINALLY! Kings basketball is back as they took the court for their 1st preseason game. Aannnnddd ... it wasn't the prettiest. The good: the process seems to be good on offense, plenty of ball movement and good ideas but just unable to fully come to fruition just yet with buckets. The rookies look very promising and played with great energy. The bad: Kings defense gave up 20 made 3s to what wil...

Finally, Kings basketball is back, preseason basketball that is. Owen and Fong give their thoughts on the possible lineups and predicts how the Kings will do this season, as well as how the rest of the NBA will shake out. They also talk about WWE possibly turning a corner creatively and the inspired win the Niners got over the Rams last Thursday with much of the team on the Injury report. Use code...

Well, the 2025-26 season is finally here! While we still have to wait a week before the 1st preseason game starts, we got to see Kings players and coaches speak on media day and there's plenty to dissect from their answers. On the national front, the Kuminga contract situation that has dominated all offseason has finally ended and now we can all rest. Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off...
