Sac Kings Therapy

A new year, a new Kings team, but they still lose their home opener. The Wolves came into the G1C and in what feels like deja vu all too often when teams come here, they don't miss from 3. The Wolves hit 20 threes in the game and that was the big stat that propelled them to win the game and hold off the Kings. The Kings on the other hand weren't shabby in their debut, they played really good for t...

2 more days until the Kings open their season at the G1C and still there are questions as to who the 5th starters is as Mike Brown threw a wrench into everyone's predictions after Tuesday's practice. Meanwhile, it was the deadline for rookie extensions on Monday 12 PM PST and just like every year, a number of them were signed very close to the deadline and many of them very interesting. And to end...

Well the preseason is over, and there's been a few days for Owen and Fong to digest what went down. While it was by no means pretty, there is some optimism that they try to cope with. They also review the Mr. Mcmahon documentary series on Netflix and give their thoughts on whether it was good and what they found interesting what was covered and what wasn't.

Welp, another ugly game from the Kings in the preseason. With Fox and Monk sitting out, the Kings really struggled to get any consistent offense throughout the game. And on the other side of the ball, there were moments but the same problems still exist with the other team dropping 3s on the Kings and getting into the paint way too easily. This is the 1st time since 1991 that the Kings have gone w...

Another preseason game and another loss for the Kings. While it is still preseason, some worrying signs are showing for the team as they continue to struggle to defend and score from beyond the arc. They still have time to iron things out before the start of the regular season and this could ultimately mean nothing. In news before the game, the Kings traded Jalen McDaniels to the Spurs along with...

Well that was an ugly watch, the King lose in confounding fashion to the Trailblazers at home. Their offense was out of wack, they couldn't hit their 3s, and they couldn't stop turning the ball over. On the other side, they kept fouling, kept giving up open 3s and drives to the rim. Bad recipe if you're going to win basketball games. It's a showcase for the absolute worst version of the Kings, and...

Kings basketball is back ... well preseason basketball anyways. And it's been a fun start in their first 2 games against the Warriors, as they usually are. The starters have been amazing in their stints, and their big free agent this summer Demar DeRozan has taken to the team like Moo Deng has to water. The bench on the other hand, let's just say needs a lot of work. Reinforcements will be coming...

Oh, how good we have it now. When last season ended, a sentiment that common within the Kings fanbase was that the 2023/24 season was one of the worst Kings seasons of all time. So that peaked our interest, so we decided to go back to a time when it was dark. So for this edition of King's rewind, we go back to 11/20/2021 when the Kings took on the Jazz in what would be Luke Walton's last game as h...

Training camp is near, and with it the NBA season. And boy did we get started with a bang as the Wolves trade Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks for Julius Randle and Donte Divincenzo. A shocking development and what a start to the season. While all this is happening, the Kings make some signing of players from the G-League and then waiving them, and then signing more. And it also came out that Jord...

No Kings news but we did have a WWE show in town over the weekend. Fong was able to attend live while Owen watched from home, the 2 compare their viewing experience and then rate the show. Niners lose a rough game against the injury-ladened Rams. Even though the Niners were dealing with their numerous injuries, key kurfuffles late in the game cost them the victory. And to end the episode, Owen and...

And ooooo boy, lots happened in the wrestling with Bash in Berlin on Saturday and No Mercy on Sunday. Use code SKT15 on...

The casters reveal themselves to be part of Rain village and they do battle to fight each other's scroll so they may advance to the next phase of the exam. Team 7 and Kabuto ultimately come out on top and they enter the tower to qualify for phase 3. But, because so many genin made it to the tower, preliminary matches h...

The Men's team played tough games against Serbia and France and the Women's went down to the wire in their game against France. The rest of the world is definitely catching up, but the US remain supreme in the year 2024. In the other news, Kyle Guy retires...

Summerslam 2024 has come and gone and it was a doozy. It was a show filled with great climaxes to long term storylines, if you've invested quite a bit of time following things since Wrestlemania, this is the show where a lot of it pays off. In other news, House of the Dragon season 2 has concluded and the finale was well ... great at setting up season 3, in 2 years time ... That being said, Ow...

Team USA start their Olympics with a victory over Serbia on Sunday morning. They started out really sloppy but rounded into form as the game went out.

And for this week's HotD episode, we had one sided negotiations, and a giant group interview for who gets to be a dragon rider. The season has...

The Kings made 2 signings, they did some stuff! They signed Orlando Robinson and Boogie Ellis to contracts. Both are interesting prospects that could provide useful contributions on the floor.

And then we end on some discuss...

The Kings end Summer League on a good note as they beat the Suns. Their defense was terrific all game and it wore down the Suns.

HotD season 2 episode 6 w...
