The SportsEthos Sacramento Kings Podcast

Kings lose. They're on the verge of elmination.

Kings play much better for 3 quarters but resort to their old ways in the 4th. Lose to Dallas 114-110 in OT, Luka with a monster triple double. Bogi can't make a basket. Buddy can't make a play. Kings can't get to the line. Podcast Merchandise https://www.shopthedopeones.com/collections/damien-barling-collection Check out the other podcasts on the Be Heard Platform Deuce & Mo Podca...

Kings have a chance to take out the Raptors but let it slip away. 1st and 3rd quarters do the Kings. Raptors 3-point shooting is their ultimate downfall.

Fox wills the Kings to a victory. Kings were in firm control in this one. For 2 quarters. Then the 3rd quarter started. A 27 point lead disappeared by the start of the 4th. Luke gets tossed and we get our first press conference from Igor Kokosov.

It got interesting but the Kings win again. Its amazing this team is playing meaningful basketball at the start of March. Not only playing meaningful basketball but playing really well. Fox and Bazemore continue to be the cornerstones of the team.

Kings played really well for 2 and a half quarters and put themselves in a position to win. Unfortunately they lost. A bad stretch in the 3rd eliminated a 19 point lead and an awful start to the 4th doomed their chances for a win. Kings can still go 3-1 on the trip with a win against the Grizzles on Friday.

Kings win their 3rd straight and 9 of 13. With the Blazers and Pelicans both losing, all 3 teams sit at 33 loses. Harrison Barnes continues to impress. Harry Giles solid outing marred a bit by defensive lapses.

Kings hold on to win 129-125 Final stretch of the 4th was ugly but they did enough to win. My Bookie: http://bit.ly/PromoCodeSac   Check out The Podcast with Damien Barling for daily sports talk that ventures outside the Kings and in to national stories. 

Luka embarrasses the Kings. Porzingis embarrasses the Kings. Luke Walton embarrasses the Kings. Oh, and Richaun Holmes is still hurt. So is Marvin Bagley. The Athletic wrote about all this and a season long group text message.

wSYraap0qqIswh8n5Srd Kings put up a heck of a fight but a 2 minute stretch in the 4th doomed their upset attempts. Slick coaching move by Luke Walton Small ball No Greek Freak, no problem. Bucks 5-0 with Giannis Exciting 3rd quarter. Luke Walton press conference

Great overall performance following the trade deadline for the Kings.  Consistent shooting and solid defense led the way.  20 forced turnovers.  Still a problem getting to the line.  No Richaun Holmes tonight. Harry Giles started and was very effective in the 14 minutes he played.  Big nights from Belly and Bogi. My Bookie: http://bit.ly/PromoCodeSac   Check out The Podcast with Damien Barling for...

Kings move to 19-31 after a 113-109 victory over Minnesota. They made it interesting. A 20 point lead went down to 3 but the Kings held on. Great night from Fox. Impactful performances from Bazemore and Deadmon.
