It may have a meaningless game for both teams as whether either team won or lost, neither would've advanced to the Summer League tournament.But the Kings didn't let that sap their effort as they play their best game in their time in Vegas. The ball moved, the players moved and shots fell for them. While there was almost nothing at stake, their offense and defense really came together after all these games and the hope is that it carries over to the regular season.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Kings faced the Nets and Celtics in back to back games and it was 2 games of truly dreadful basketball for the Kings.The Kings struggled mightily with turnovers in the Nets game in which they gave up 27 of them, and in the Celtics game the Kings only managed to score a total of 4 points in the 1st quarter. It is just Summer League so there's only so much we can take away from these games, but it does raise the question of whether the issues could carry over into the main roster when it's time for real games in the regular season.Time will tell.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Well, the King's Summer League undefeated streak comes to an end as the Kings get destroyed by the Wizards led by #1 pick AJ Dybantsa and sophomore Will Riley.It was a sloppy game for the Kings and despite a great showing by a returning Maxime Raynaud, the Kings could not overcome their turnover and rebounding issues.In addition to covering the game, Owen and Fong talk about the latest news such as Bam Adebayo punching Tyler Herro, and the new season of Dark Side of the Ring that covers the story of Jeff Jarrett and TNA.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
The Kings continue their winning ways in the Summer with a victory over the Clippers. The main attraction was Acuff vs Wagler and it's safe to say the Kings won that exchange.As the games happen there are more and more takeaways from the players and what it could mean for the main roster team going forward. And as of now, things seem to be looking good.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

It didn't start out with a bang, but boy did the news pick up. It was a slow day on the 1st day of Free Agency, and it went to nuclear levels the 2nd day with Walker Kessler going to the Lakers and Jaylen Brown to the Sixers.Owen and Fong discuss all the big transactions and also what the Kings have been up to.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Free agency starts officially on June 30th, but tell that to NBA agents and players because a storm of news and transactions happened to send the NBA new cycle into an absolute tailspin.There will be no rest for the weary.Owen and Fong go through the biggest news items relating to the Kings and they also go through the 2 biggest wrestling events that happened over the weekend in Night of Champions and Forbidden Door.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
The vibes are good in Sacramento after the 2026 NBA Draft, and it's not just within the city. Nationally they're actually getting some praise for how they navigated the draft.They get their guy in Acuff, trade up to get Karaban and also get Sharp in the 2nd round. Scott Perry might be onto something.In other news, Lamelo Ball gets traded along with Josh Green to the Wolves for Naz Reid in a shocking transaction. And there are way too many big wrestling shows this weekend as Owen and Fong give their predictions for WWE Night of Champions and AEW Forbidden Door.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Day 1 of the 2026 NBA Draft is in the books and the Kings had an eventful day. They get the guy that has been linked to the Kings for a while now in Darius Acuff Jr. He will likely serve as the franchise player for the Kings going forward and will usher in this new era for the Kings.They also added some shooting at the forward spot with Alex Karaban from the Cavs at the end of the 1st round and now things are taking shape for the Kings going into next season.Owen and Fong give their thoughts and whether or not they like the direction the Kings seem to be heading.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

In what will be the last edition of the 2026 NBA Draft scouting series, Owen and Fong give their analysis on Arizona guard Brayden Burries and Tennessee wing Nate Ament.Both players are projected a little lower than 7 on most mock drafts but they present interesting options the Kings could go if they really want to surprise fans.They then talk about the Spurs and Knicks making the finals and how the Kings are unfortunately linked to the parties involved.And they end the episode talking about some wrestling.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
2 very interesting Point/combo guard prospects this episode. Both Keaton Wagler and Mikel Brown are scoring guards who are projected to be able to lead an offense with their playmaking. Both have more size than the previous 2 prospects but are they better? Owen and Fong discuss.They also go over the latest happenings in the Conference Finals of the Playoffs and then end with a brief talk about wrestling.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
There's a reason why it's not all doom and gloom even though the Kings dropped to #7 in the lottery. The draft after the top 4 is filled with young Point guards with a lot of upside and it just so happens, the Kings need a Point guard.In this episode, Owen and Fong analyze Darius Acuff and Kingston Flemings. They go through their strengths and weaknesses and how they could fit in with the Kings and possibly lead them into the next era of the Beam Team.They also go through a myriad of topics including the Cavs and Pistons going to a game 7 and the Spurs eliminating the Wolves, as well as some talk about Harry Potter.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
It's draft season, with the lottery order now set, it's onto researching the prospects the Kings could be in line to pick when they come up at 7. One of the big events that took place regarding this is the NBA Draft Combine where official measurements are taken.Owen goes over his thoughts about the notable things coming out the combine and how it affects his analysis of the prospects. In particular, he focuses on Kingston Flemings and Darius Acuff.There are also rumors that are persisting about the Kings and Ja Morant and Owen tries to go through that and whether or not it's something to pay attention to and how it will play into the King's drafting strategy.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Well, the basketball gods did not shine down upon the Kings as they dropped to 7 in this upcoming draft.Is it all doom and gloom? Or is it perhaps an opportunity for the Kings?Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Now onto the projected 3 & 4th picks of this upcoming draft and it's a doozy. Cam Boozer is a do it all forward with exceptional IQ for the game and Caleb Wilson is a uber athlete with good feel and limitless untapped potential.In addition, Owen and Fong talk about the Nuggets getting slaughtered by the Wolves, Sixers getting the Celtics monkey off their back, as well as the controversial releases of popular tag team New Day from WWE.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

The Kings young-ins went on the Old Man and the 3 podcast and it was a enlightening conversation about some of the going ons behind the scenes in the Kings locker room this past season.They spoke about the positive environment behind the scenes despite the lackluster season. Could this be a good sign for the future and a building block for a strong culture behind the scenes.Owen then covers the fallout from the WWE releases this past week and ends it with some of his scattered thoughts about the playoffs thus far.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
The Coin Gods did not shine bright on the Kings as they lose the tiebreaker coin flip to the Jazz for the 4 and 5 position in the reverse standings. Owen goes over why it's actually not as big of a L as many fans are dreading over.He then ends it by giving his review of what was a pretty wild Wrestlemania 42 Nights 1 & 2.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
The Kings offseason has begun, and it kicked off with Exit Interviews. Owen tries to break down what he saw from said interviews and if there are any takeaways from them.He then dives into the Play-In games before ending with his Wrestlemania 42 predictions and his thoughts on Darby Allin winning the AEW World Title on Dynamite this past Wednesday.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
The Kings 2025-26 season finally ends with a loss to the Blazers. And it's fitting how they lost this game, as it is an encapsulation of the primary issue that they've had this entire season on the court.Their 3 point shooting, they were outscored by 27 points from behind the arc. If they are going to lose the 3 point battle by that much in a game, they have to be perfect everywhere else and their margin for error becomes razor thin.Well, at least they'll have an entire offseason to address this and many other issues with the roster.One thing that is set in stone next season is that Head Coach Doug Christie will be back. Owen goes through his thoughts on the news and more.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
The Kings decided not to foul a Curry today, and they ended up winning the game. It was a surprisingly tense game where the Warriors tried to big boy the Kings and the young ins were not having it. It was a competitive battle and the Kings won out.Owen then talks about the Pat McAfee segment on Smackdown and then he gives his very thorough thoughts on the NBA investigation on the Kings and the entire basketball world's reaction to it.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
It was only a season a 2 ago where every Kings vs Warriors matchup produced some of the most exciting games in the sport. Many of them came down to final possessions and had nail biter endings.Today's game was close and came down to a few possessions, but just without the stakes. Warriors are locked in the 10th seed and the Kings are playing for lottery balls.But lost in all that there was still things that caught Owen's eye that point to the different levels the Kings and Warriors are currently at, and whether that will change in the future.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Well, they had to come back down to earth at some point. After a 2 really impressive wins over the Raptors and Pelicans, they hit a bit of a brick wall against the Clippers.They really struggled to guard the Clippers from the 3 point line (A way too common occurrence) and couldn't hit a 3 to keep up with the Clippers. (Another way too common occurrence)The Kings are now tied with the Jazz in the Tankathon standings and have 3 more games to go in the season.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Well, at least they did it with the young guys this game. The Kings were outmatched and outshot from 3 all game, but it did not matter.They kept playing hard, made plays and got great shots of their own to storm back to win the game.This will further tank their lottery odds but does it matter in a system that at its core is just a crapshoot?Owen and Fong also discuss the poorly received return of Pat McAfee and his insertion into the Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton feud.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Kings get an impressive win in Toronto. This wasn't some team that had phoned it in for the rest of the season. The Raptors are currently fighting for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference and the Kings just dealt a huge blow to them in that regard.The Raptors looked as though they would overwhelm the Kings with their on ball pressure and athleticism, but Precious Achiuwa dominated the glass to give the Kings the advantage going into the half. And in the 2nd half, the Kings turned the Raptors pressure against them and outlasted the Raptors on their home floor.These are the kinds of wins that build a team's culture and despite losing ground again in the reverse standings, this win could help the Kings long term going into the future.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
The best of all worlds, the Kings play some competitive games, develop their young guys, and lose the game, serving almost all of their masters.In the Hawks game, the Kings kept it competitive all game despite being overmatched. And in the Nets game, they made it interesting at least in the 2nd half before succumbing to Brooklyn's hot shooting.These 2 losses puts them right in the thick of things in the race for best lottery odds, which the pro-tankers should be flying over the moon about.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
It's the best of both worlds. If you're a Kings fan that likes to see the Kings be a good team, you got what you wanted. And if you're a fan that wants the Kings to lose so they can maintain their draft position, you got what you wanted as well. Against the Magic, the Kings played a competitive game where they ultimately ran out of time at the end to complete a comeback. It's the most Kings fans can ask for at this point of the season.And related to that, Owen also shares his thoughts on 3 top prospects in this year's draft. He gives his impressions of Keaton Wagler, Kingston Flemings and Darius Acuff and how they would fit into the Kings going forward if they were to end up in Sacramento.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
There are 9 more games left, that's about the only positive from this game as the Kings lose by 44 in Charlotte.Kings came in shorthanded and the Hornets pounced immediately by bombing from 3 and never let up to the tune of 26 made 3s.The only thing to look forward to is for Kings fans is the hope they can get some fortune in the lottery in May. This loss helps, so there's that.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Well, the question has to be asked again, did the Kings win or lose. They won this game, but lost the war for lottery position.Only time will tell, but as it stands, the Kings get a win at home before embarking on the final road trip of the season with 8 games to go.In other news, Owen got to enjoy a lot of March Madness basketball and he has plenty of thoughts on top prospects Darryn Peterson, Cam Boozer, Kingston Flemmings and Keaton Wagler.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Alas, another loss for the Kings in this season. The Kings were in a hole early but were able to come back and lead briefly, only for the Sixers to get control back and never relinquish it.The Kings simply don't have the fire power to match teams like the Sixers and it's an issue they need to address in the off-season.In addition to the game, Owen and Fong talk about the WNBA coming to terms on a new CBA and the Afroman defamation case.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Well, fans don't have debate whether a win is good or bad for the Kings because the Kings get absolutely destroyed by the San Antonio Spurs at home.The Spurs kept hitting 3 after 3 after 3 and the Kings did very little to deter that. Kings are still very far away but Owen and Fong talk about how thing may not be as gloomy as they seem.They then discuss the wrestling over the weekend, such as AEW Revolution and Raw on Monday.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
The Kings got 2 very impressive back to back wins against the white hot Clippers and the Utah Jazz.But fans are mixed in how they feel about the Kings winning those games. One side is simply happy for the Kings winning and the other side is upset about the Kings lowering their odds at the lottery in May.Are their feelings valid? Or are they throwing a fuss what will ultimately be nothing? Or is it a bit of both?Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
In the Tankathon finals on Tuesday, the Kings looked dead in the water against the Pacers. But then Devin Carter turned it on and brought the Kings and the G1C back to life with a scintillating comeback down 20 to win the game.While Pro-Tankers will be upset the Kings lost ground in the Tankathon rankings, games like the ones against the Pacers are the blueprint for the type of games the Kings should play. Games where the young guys on the team spearhead the charge, and in this one it was Devin Carter and co.On the 2nd night of a back to back with only 9 active players, the Kings put up a valiant effort against the surging Hornets but ultimately succumbed to the math problem. The Hornets simply traded the King's 2s for 3s on the other end and the Kings simply couldn't keep up.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
It's nice to get a win every now and then, especially at home for your fans.The Kings had a great offensive game where they passed the ball around plenty, got great shots and simply outworked the Chicago Bulls. They were led by an impressive triple double performance from Westbrook and the passing became contagious and it ultimately led to the win.Next up will be a back to back at home against the Pacers and Hornets.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

It's been a tough season, Kings have lost a bunch and there's is little to look forward to for this season.But recently Coach Doug Christie turned the corner and began to play the young guys on the team in a move to prioritize development of the youth on the team.But not on this night, as he closed with a veteran heavy lineup with no minutes for Clifford, Raynaud, Devin and others.Owen was not a fan to say the least.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
The Kings simply got outplayed on 2 main fronts. They got destroyed on the boards by Phoenix who were simply bigger and played harder than the Kings on that end and ended with 18 offensive rebounds.But it may not have been as big had they not gotten molly whopped from the 3 point line by 36 points.These are issues the Kings will need to address going into this offseason if they have any hope of being competitive going forward.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
The Kings lose their 3rd game to the Lakers this season, and it wasn't ever really close.The Kings offense struggled to ever get a rhythm on offense, and on defense they got lit up from the 3 point line all night.It's been a problem for a few years now and it's compounded when they can't hit their 3s on offense.Kings now return home after this 5 game road trip to face the Suns Tuesday.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
We'll take any win we can. That's the attitude of hosts Owen and Fong who have endured a miserable season of losing.And while the Kings lost to the Rockets in demoralizing fashion, they did beat a depleted Mavericks team in an impressive manner on the 2nd night of a back to back.While wins and losses really don't matter in the short term, the long term development of the team will likely benefit more from a win than they do a loss.And for the sake of everyone's sanity a win is definitely needed every now and then to boost the morale in a truly dreadful season.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

Kings hung tough for a lot of game, and that's about all you can ask for nowadays from this team. They say it's a make or miss league. At the end of the 2nd and 3rd quarters, the Kings missed a few makeable shots while the Spurs hit theirs. That was basically the difference in this game and gave the Spurs the separation they needed to start blowing the Kings out.The losing streak now extends to 16 and it's a wonder when it'll be broken.Meanwhile, Fong returned and they discuss the AEW Dynamite show on Wednesday after watching it back.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
Just when Owen thought it'd be nice to steer away from the draft reform conversations and take a back seat to actual Kings basketball, we get this game ...The Kings lost by 37 to the Magic in their first game since All-Star Break as the Magic couldn't miss from 3 no matter what the Kings did.In addition, news came out that Kings will be without Zach Lavine and Domantas Sabonis for the rest of the season as they both had season ending surgeries.On the bright side in the midst of all the bad however, Owen did go to AEW Dynamite on Wednesday and he goes over his experience at the show.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

With every successive loss, the Kings tank only gets stronger.The Kings didn't have it on offense or defense tonight as they get ransacked by an also tanking Jazz team. The Kings go into the All-Star break having lost 14 consecutive games and look like they very much could use the break to reset and reconvene.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

The Kings losing streak has extended to 12, yet the vibes aren't as bad as you might think.As the deadline has passed, it is clear that the Kings have shifted their #1 priority to the development of the rookies and young guys on the team. And despite the back to back losses, they've been super competitive and fun to watch.Against the Clippers, they forced the Clippers to earn their win down the stretch, and in the Cavs game where they welcomed back former Kings Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis, they were in it until the very end.It's a new era for the Kings, and even though it's early in the process, but perhaps there's a little bit of hope at the end of the tunnel?Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com
The 2026 NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and lots of trades happened.But for better or worse, the Kings were barely involved.
