The Kings pick up a gutsy win in Houston and sweep the season series with the Rockets 3-0. The Kings played well on offense and controlled the game for much of it. But what was really impressive was the way the Kings defended the Rockets and how they came up with big play after big play on that end throughout the game. Kings pick up a big win to help them keep pace in the congested 6-10 spot in th...

The Kings go into business and beat Utah by 17. There was so bad, mostly good, Kings simply did what they are supposed to do. Kings will get a upgrade in competition going forward and we will have to see how the Kings will perform under those circumstances with this new squad. There are signs that point to them doing well, there are signs that point to them getting demolished playing the way they...

The Kings get a get-right game against the Hornets and handily beat them by 42. It was a tale of 2-Kings though, the 1st half and the 4th quarter, and the disastrous 3rd quarter. In the 3 quarters where the Kings went bonkers, the Kings had incredible ball movement and flawless execution on the offensive end. And on the other side they played with physicality and intensity on the defensive end to...

It was a game with high stakes with plenty of build up. 1st game out of the All Star Break, division rivals, playoff opponents with some history in game fighting for important playoff positioning. Andddd ..... the Kings absolutely get dominated by a more locked in and physical team in the Warriors. It wasn't pretty, and a loss like this really showed one team heading in the right direction and...

The All-Star Break has come and gone and now we anxiously await the 2nd half of the season to start for the Kings. In the meantime, while there are no games, Owen and Fong give their thoughts on how the Kings could do post All-Star Break. They also give their thoughts on the All-Star Weekend as a whole and whether they thought the NBA got it right and whether they got it all wrong. Use code SKT15...

The Kings went into New Orleans and split the games 1-1 against the Pelicans. It's not the desired result, but it will do. The Kings are clearly still trying to figure out how to gel with this new look group and have gone through some ups and down in the process. Here's to hoping that All-Star Break will allow the Kings to reset and get some practice time in to get more acclimated. Use cod...

We thought last game was the most Cardiac Kings game we had ever seen. Well leave it to the Kings to top that in the very next game as they played one the most bizarre games of the year while really pulling on the heart strings of Kings fans. The Kings were up comfortably at the end of overtime but a boneheaded play by DeRozan caused the Kings to be down 1 after being up 2 with about 10 seconds le...

It's never easy with the Kings, and it's even worse when it's the Cardiac Kings. The Kings started out the game horribly, they went down 20 in the first quarter where they were scored on at will from the outside and the inside. Then the Kings slowly got into rhythm, their bench came in and changed the game, the starters then built off that momentum and by the start of the 4th, the King...

Well the Lavine Era of the Kings has not gotten off to a good start as they lose in a back to back against the Magic and the Blazers. The offense is a work in progress as Lavine takes time to get comfortable and the defense ..... has not been great. Both games was against elite defenses with great length that play with incredible physicality, so not exactly the ideal teams to figure things out. Th...

The Kings went into Minnesota and pulled out a gutsy win to get their 1st victory in the Post-De'Aaron Fox Era. The offense had a different energy and the Big 3 of Sabonis, Monk and DeRozan brought it home for the Kings. The Kings return home to play the Magic Wednesday where they will be greeted by new acquisition Zach Lavine to full usher in this new era of the Kings. Use code SKT15 on check...

Well, it finally happened, the Kings trade De'Aaron Fox, ending an era after an eventful 8 years with many ups and downs. In return the Kings get Zach Lavine from the Bulls. Is it a good trade? Did the Kings get enough in return?

The Kings went into OKC and were expertly destroyed in every facet of the game. They were surgically picked apart in the half court and outhustled, it wasn't even close. The Kings can hopefully get their mojo back as this road trip has been disastrous so far. They've struggled to score and their defense has been subpar, and the Thunder were more than happy to expose those issues. Owen and Fong the...

The Sixers were somehow more injured this time around than when they first faced the Kings about a month ago. But the Kings somehow couldn't take advantage and lose a pretty deflating one in Philly. They just didn't have it tonight, particularly from 3 and their defense was not up to par either. Add to the fact that the Kings are currently shrouded by trade rumors surrounding Fox, it's...

Kings have always had a bad habit of playing down to the level of their competition. This game was no different, with the Nets missing multiple rotation players, they jumped out on the Kings and got to big lead early and the Kings played catch up for the much of the game. The Kings were able to turn the tide however in the 2nd half and close it out early in the 4th, but it was way harder than it n...

The Kings went down early, came back, and then went down big again. They had it going with Malik Monk going off in the 2nd and 3rd quarters but the game got away from them when they had to go to Fox to carry the offense. Fox's hands unfortunately is clearly bothering him and the Kings cannot beat a team the level of the Knicks if he is laboring the way he is. The Kings will need to regroup the...

It was the best showing of fight and spirit of the Kings in their back to back against the Warriors and Nuggets. Both games were very similar in process, King went down big, but fought back and made it a game, albeit with differing results in the 2 games. While it may not always result in wins, it's good to to see the fighting spirit that this team is playing with and it'll always make for good, c...

The Kings get back to .500 at home and get their first win in their classic jerseys. The opponent, supposed NBA team Washington Wizards. The Kings didn't have their best game, they struggled mightily from 3 and had a number of silly turnovers ... and won by 23. The Wizards are playing a lot young guys and don't have a good grasp on how to play good basketball on either side of the ball. Th...

It was a tough gritty win by the Kings, but boy did they put their fans through all the emotions in it. The Kings were facing a Rockets team that just played in Denver the night before and for stretches, made it look just that way as they caused the Rockets to make silly turnovers and allowing the Kings to build big leads off of it. But the Rockets would keep fighting, a 16 point Kings lead in the...

Welp, the King's streak ends at 7. While part of it is that it wasn't the King's night on either end of the floor, this loss does expose probably the King's biggest issue, which is size in the frontcourt. Giannis and Lopez simply dominated the Kings inside and they simply didn't have the size and length on the court to compete. The Kings will now return home for a 3 game homestand and this is wher...

The Kings extend their winning streak to 7 after winning a fun battle in Chicago. It was an offense heavy battle as both teams scored in bunches, the Kings in the paint and the Bulls from 3. The Kings came out of that battle the victors and now head to Milwaukee to try and extend the streak to 8 and end this road trip undefeated.

The Kings went into Boston and finally against a fully healthy team. Not only a fully healthy team, but a team that is bigger, stronger and more experienced team at every position. Plus the fact that star De'Aaron Fox was out for the game it was understandable that their 5 game winning streak would come to an end. But they beat them. Huh? Yes the Kings somehow outlasted and dominated the defending...

Kings are now streaking as they win their 5th game in a row. The first win against in Chase was an impressive demolishing of the Warriors on the road. They led the entire game and ended up controlling the game and leading by double digits from the 2nd quarter and on. The Kings played free and their defense was very solid all night, it really showed them rounding into form under Coach Doug Christie...

The Kings have now won 3 in a row, and this win the most impressive. While the Grizzlies were missing Ja and an assortment of role players, they are a machine and a very formidable foe. No matter what the Kings did the Grizzlies kept coming and it even got chippy in moments but the Kings answered every run the Grizzlies hit them with and end up with the win. The Kings seemed to have rediscovered t...

It was looking like the same story in the G1C, opposing team comes into Sacramento and can't miss from 3. Meanwhile the Kings are answering back with 2s but can't keep up pace as the opponent slowly pulls away. That was the story for about 45 minutes of the game. But then the Kings dialed in on defense, and held the Sixers scoreless for the final 3:34 of the game while going on a 15-0 run to end t...

Mavs came into the G1C with Kyrie, Luka, Klay, Lively and Naji in street clothes. Surely an easy win for the Kings right? Right? Well it was a win, albeit an ugly one. But a win is a win regardless of circumstances and the Kings need one in the worst way. Kings also get Doug Christie's first win as a head coach and hopefully this win finally gets the Kings on the right track and some much needed c...
