Kings fans bore witness to 2 of the best performances in history from 1 De'Aaron Fox. In the first game he scored a mind boggling 60 points on the Minnesota Timberwolves in a heartbreaking loss. He would then follow that up the next night with 49 points against the Utah Jazz.
These 2 performances have reminded Kings fans and the rest of the NBA world what Fox is capable of. And with Demar DeRozan out for the Minnesota game and Sabonis out for the Utah game, Fox needed to carry a much bigger load and boy did he deliver.
Hopefully the team can get healthy soon so we can see the full capabilities of this team once they are all whole again.

The Kings had a bit of a throwback Beam Team performance against the Suns in the G1C. In a season where it feels that all too often the Kings play to their opponent's style, the Kings played textbook Beam Team basketball where they play at a breakneck pace and overwhelm the opponent on offense.
The Suns on the 2nd night of a back to back simply couldn't keep up but were able to stay in it by getting 19 offensive rebounds and capitalizing off the King's bonehead turnovers.
But ultimately they just couldn't keep up with the Kings and the home team ran away with this one.
It's good to see the Kings wake up a bit on offense and here's to hoping this is the first sign of them breaking out of their offensive funk.

The Kings split another back to back and in somewhat similar fashion. They performed incredible in the 1st night against the Suns where the King's new addition Demar DeRozan's clutch powers were on full display as he willed the game back into the King's grasp after they looked dead in the water, only to pass it onto De'Aaron Fox to finish the job in Pheonix.
But that incredible performance overshadowed a huge thorn on the King's side and unfortunately it would really rear its ugly head in San Antonio the next night. The 3 point shot, the Kings are really bad at defending it and they can't make theirs on the other end. And without the clutch magic of Fox and DeRozan being a factor on this night, the Kings were handily destroyed by the Spurs.
The Kings will need to figure this out at some point, either defend the 3 better or make more on the offensive end. They can't always fall back on the clutch brilliance of their 2 stars every single night.

It's a make or miss league as they say. And in this game, the Clipper made 14-30 of their 3s and the Kings only made 3-26 of theirs.
Despite the atrocious 3-point shooting, the Kings were in it late and could've pulled off a comeback but it was not to be. It's hard to win in this league when you don't make 3s, despite making over 65% of their shots inside the arc, it still wasn't able to overcome the Clipper's barrage from the outside.

The Kings get a measure of revenge against the Raptors for their loss in Toronto a little under a week ago by getting a win over them back home in Sacramento.
It was a slow paced and physical game for the 1st 3 quarters, the Raptors mucked up the King's offense with their physicality, length and hustle all over the court. It clearly affected the Kings as they struggled to play their game.
But in the 4th quarter the Kings were able to finally break free of the shackles the Raps put on them, much like in the Portland game, and proceeded to blow the game open and never looked back.
Another impressive showing by the Kings and while the Raptors are by no means a juggernaut, the Kings were able to overcome their struggles against length and physicality to turn the momentum of the game to their side.
Owen and Fong also briefly speak on the 2024 Election results and what their thoughts were.

The Kings go into Miami and in typical Kings fashion, play a razor close game.
Miami overwhelmed the Kings early with their 3 point shooting in the 1st half but De'Aaron Fox sparked the Kings as they fought back in the 3rd quarter with their defense and their own 3 point shooting.
It then turned into a 4th quarter back and forth battle, with Jimmy Butler rallying the Heat back into the game and taking the lead and DeRozan working his magic for the Kings.
It ultimately ended with a Sabonis putback to win the game in what was a show of great resilience from a team that looked dead in the water at halftime but rallied to win the game.

The Kings after picking up a win Utah, embarked on one of the weirdest road trips ever. First they headed to Atlanta where they were able to eek out a close game after leading huge for much of the game.
They then had to head across the US border to get to Toronto to play the Raptors the next night. And that weird travel arrangement clearly affected them as they lose a game where they turned the ball over a bunch and couldn't hit their shots from 3.
They'll now head back across the US border to go to Miami to play the Heat on Monday and hopefully they aren't as affected by the brutal travel schedule this time around.

After dropping their 1st two games of the season against tough opponents, it was imperative that they bounce back in their next 2 games against projected lesser opponents.
And the Kings did just that, by first beating the Blazers on the 1st night of a back to back at home. The game was a mud fight in the 1st half with a slow pace and tons of fouls. But the Kings were able to break out of the Blazer's shackles in the 2nd half as their shots began to drop and the pace sped up to King's liking. It was good to see them able to figure out their opponent in real time and force them to play the King's style of basketball.
On the 2nd night of the back to back in Utah, the Kings took care of business as they simply overwhelmed the Jazz with their high paced offense and active defense. Last year these games were terrifying for Kings fans as the Kings seemed to always play down to the level of their opponents, so it was good to see them take care of business.

The Kings lose another close one to drop to 0-2 to start the season. The Kings were getting the better of the Lakers for 3 quarters, but Lebron went absolutely nuclear to start the 4th quarter to give the Lakers a huge double digit lead and the Kings were shell shocked.
But they stayed in it, they fought back and made it a one possession game late in crunch time but Anthony Davis drilled a dagger 3 to end his vaunted losing streak against Sabonis.
Of course, starting out 0-2 isn't the most ideal result but the Kings again even in a loss have a lot of positives to look at and it should be a matter of time before things begin to click and they'll be a formidable unit.

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 the most part but a bad stretch in the 3rd allowed the Wolves to get back in the game when they had a chance to blow the game open.
Despite the loss, there are many encouraging signs as the new look Kings begin to gel, and once they do, they could be dangerous.

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 the pod, we talk about Samantha Irving's departure from WWE and the awesome Bron Breakker and Jacob Fatu tease on Raw.

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 winless in the preseason. Is it a bad omen? Or is it nothing to worry about since it is just preseason. We'll have to wait until opening night to find out.

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 cash and a 2nd round pick to clear up some money for what is speculated to be a move before the season starts.

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 you just hope they can learn from this so it doesn't carry over into the regular season.
In a lighter note, something that was very enjoyable to watch was AEW's PPV on Saturday so Owen and Fong review it and give their thoughts.

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 as Huerter, Lyles and McLaughlin will be returning from injury at some point but so far things go south when the starters sit.
Mike will need to do some tinkering.

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 head coach and the game where a fan threw up on the court in the 4th quarter.
We recap not just the game, but everything leading up to the game, and the aftermath of the game.
It's about to get dark.

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 Jordan McLaughlin and Trey Lyles suffered injuries and will miss the start of training camp.
Owen and Fong then go through so other news around the league before ending with some wrestling.

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 Fong give their quick thoughts on the P-Diddy situation that has dominated the news cycle the past week.
