No Wemby, no problem! As the Kings lose to the Spurs behind former Kings De'Aaron Fox's 28 points and 11 assists.It was another inspired but ultimately losing effort from the Kings where they couldn't get on track on offense for much of the game and the defense never found it connectivity.The Kings continue to struggle and it's unclear if they'll be getting a win anytime soon as the schedule of hell continues Wednesday in OKC.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 followed up their embarrassing performance against the Hawks with a respectable showing against Minnesota.It unfortunately still ended in a decisive loss, but the effort was there, and that's all we can ask for. It's the sad state the Kings are in currently, 3-10, 13th in the Western Conference with very little way to turn things around with the current construction of the team.There will be light at the end of the tunnel at some point but that is a long ways away ...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 played their first game on NBC in 23 years and they actually showed out.They unfortunately did not pick up the win but they didn't go down to the Nuggets without a fight and that's something they could hang their hat on.But that energy did not carry over into the game next night against the Hawks as the Kings get obliterated by 33. The Kings got destroyed in transition and they couldn't find a rhythm offensively.And it won't get any easier as the team departs on a 5 game road trips and it will be another murder's row of opponents.Buckle 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

(Apologies for the cold open, ran into technical issues so no intro on this episode)Welp, the Kings are in a rut as they get blown out in humiliating fashion again at home.The offense is struggling to find a groove with all of their high usage guys and the defense is just turrible. The body language during the game was great either, and Coach Christie's message about defense is is antithetical to his actions in benching Keon Ellis.The Kings are in a rough spot and it'll be tough to find a way to make this all work, if it is even possible.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 were just not up to task in beating the Thunder. Their defense was swiss cheese and their offense had very little success against the Thunder's suffocating defense.It's a bleak reminder that there are levels to this game, and the Kings are quite a few levels below the Thunder.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 the battle of the shorthanded teams as the Kings without Zach Lavine and Domantas Sabonis battled the Warriors without Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler.The game started out in the Warrior's favor as the Kings struggled on offense and their defense was getting shredded. They would turn the game in their favor in the 3rd quarter and then it was a shootout in the 4th in which the Kings won out.The Kings will need to find a way to start games better as it's been every game it feels like that they come out flat on offense and defense and it puts them in a hole that they have to claw out of.Regardless, they get a nice win at home with a triple double from Russell Westbrook and they get to light the beam!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 traveled to Denver and were unfortunately soundly beaten by the Nuggets.The Kings hung tough the entire game and didn't give in and kept fighting, but the Nuggets were just too much for them to handle.The Kings did play well, so hopefully they're able to build off of this despite the loss.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

For the first time since 2015, the Kings get a win in Milwaukee. And it was much needed one too. The Kings had lost their last 3 and really needed to show something here, and they did.Despite starting out absolutely horribly, where it looked like they were going to get blown out by 30, they slowly clawed their way back and by halftime it was 1 point game.And out of halftime, they kept up the pressure and were able to protect their lead all the way until the end with some really heady and timely plays.Good win for the Kings and it will be on them to build upon 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

The Kings lose their first back to back games in the stretch of hell on their schedule.While the games were very different they lost both in similarly heartbreaking fashion.In the Thunder game, they had control of the game for most of the 48 mins but faltered down the stretch to give up the lead late. But they fought valiantly in a defense heavy battle against the defending champs.The Bulls game started out well with the Kings flowing beautifully on offense in the 1st half but then allowed the Bulls to flip the script on them in the 2nd half by demolishing them on defense.The Kings need to figure out how to get on the same page and close out games as this rag-tag group of players continue to find ways to mesh effectively.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 Lakers walked into G1C without Luka and Lebron and it wasn't an issue as Austin Reaves drops a 51 point game to beat the Kings.The Kings offense wasn't smooth for a lot of the game and their defense was a mess for a lot of it. It was a game they really needed to win considering the circumstances, as they now head into the stretch of hell in their schedule where wins are gonna be rrrrreeeeaaalllly hard to come by.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

They finally did it, the Kings finally win a home opener in G1C history (if you don't count the pandemic year).And it wasn't easy as the Kings had to deal with a gigantic Utah Jazz frontline that for most of the night overwhelmed the Kings with their size.But the Kings kept fighting and were able to force the Jazz to make mistakes and overcome their size deficiencies to win the game.Good first win for the Kings but the road ahead is going to be insane as the Kings begin their schedule of hell with a home game against the Lakers on Sunday.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 looking ssoooo good, Kings were playing nice defense, scoring in bunches and all was well and good.And then the 2nd half came and the Kings lost their rhythm, the Suns got going and all came crumbling down.While it is only the 1st game of the season, it's not a great sign of things to come if the Kings want to be consistent with their energy and intensity throughout a 48 minute game.Hoping they build off this loss.Owen and Fong then go over the Raw that happened in Sacramento earlier this week and the gutsy grind it out win that the Niners had over the Falcons over the weekend.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, another preseason game, another loss. And this one a lot more demoralizing as the Clippers showed that they were on a totally different level to the Kings. There is still time for the team to hammer things out but there is noticeable gap between the Kings and an upper tier team like the Clippers and it's hard to see how the Kings close that gap.It was a busy day for the Kings on the transaction front, it was announced that they had come to an agreement for Russell Westbrook to join the team early in the day and Keegan Murray signed a 5 year $140 million contract extension with the club.Owen and Fong give their thoughts on it all.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

Bad weekend for Kings fans and Niner fans as there was a series of injuries that happened.First it was announced Sunday morning that Keegan had torn the UCL on his left thumb and needs surgery which would sideline him for 4-6 weeks. With the Kings lack of depth at the wing position, there will be a gargantuan void at that position for the Kings to start the season.And if the Keegan news wasn't already a punch in the face, if you were a Niner fan you kicked right in knads when in the first quarter Fred Warner dislocated his ankle and will be out for the season. The injuries continue to pile up as the Niners just can't catch a break.Owen and Fong then try to lighten the mood with what they like about WWE is doing as of late and the Seth Rollins injury because everyone in every sport is just getting injured at this point.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 lose their 2nd preseason game in Portland. They played better but still showed a lot of the issues that plagued them in the game against the Raptors.That is if you were able to watch the game with the Blazers broadcast which frustrated Owen and Fong to no end with their endless replays, many of which happened while the game was happening so they missed a lot of Kings possessions as a result.Owen and Fong try their best to give their best analysis of the game despite that.They then end the episode talking about the Bad Bunny outrage over him headlining the Superbowl Halftime 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

FINALLY! Kings basketball is back as they took the court for their 1st preseason game. Aannnnddd ... it wasn't the prettiest. The good: the process seems to be good on offense, plenty of ball movement and good ideas but just unable to fully come to fruition just yet with buckets. The rookies look very promising and played with great energy.The bad: Kings defense gave up 20 made 3s to what will likely be a mediocre 3 point shooting team. While the plan to overload the paint isn't the worst idea, the Kings cannot keep leaving shooters open the way they do and just pray they miss.Not the ideal start for the Kings but they will have more preseason games to hammer these things out and hopefully they be locked in and ready to go by the first regular season game.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

Finally, Kings basketball is back, preseason basketball that is. Owen and Fong give their thoughts on the possible lineups and predicts how the Kings will do this season, as well as how the rest of the NBA will shake out.They also talk about WWE possibly turning a corner creatively and the inspired win the Niners got over the Rams last Thursday with much of the team on the Injury report.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 2025-26 season is finally here!While we still have to wait a week before the 1st preseason game starts, we got to see Kings players and coaches speak on media day and there's plenty to dissect from their answers.On the national front, the Kuminga contract situation that has dominated all offseason has finally ended and now we can all rest.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 are making noise in Free agency, but in terms of actual things the Kings have not done a lot. They've signed Dennis Schroder officially and traded Jonas Valanciunas to the Nuggets. Otherwise, it's a lot of reports of them being "involved" in things.Is Scott Perry cooking something?

It's the start of a new NBA year! And it hasn't been a good start for the Kings. The Kings started out by losing Jake LaRavia and then trading Jonas Valančiūnas to the Nuggets for Dario Saric. They then got into a long recruiting process with Dennis Schroder which ended with them signing him for 3 year $45 million.Not the most splashy first 36 or so hours. Let's see if the Kings can cook up something in the coming days and/or weeks and months.Owen also talks about the bizarre CM Punk stuff in Saudi Arabia.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 had an eventful 2nd round of the draft. They drafted Stanford's Maxime Raynaud with the 42nd pick from Stanford and then signed a number of other guys off the undrafted free agent pool. So far, they've signed Issac Nogues Gonzales, Dylan Cardwell, Jabri Abdur-Rahim and Patrick McCaffery. More moves are likely to come in free agency but the Kings front offices is off to a hot start.Owen and Fong then discuss some of the reporting about the King's free agency plans and then end with their Night of Champions predictions.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 first round of the 2025 NBA Draft is in the books, and while Kings fans had to wait quite a while, the Kings were able to trade into the 1st round to get Colorado State's Nique Clifford.Nique will fill a void at the wing position in the King's roster and looks to fit great on the team, whatever it looks like by training camp.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 we did the 5 best wins of the 2024-25 Kings season, so it's only fair to balance that with the 5 worst losses. These games include losing to a team that isn't even trying and a brainfart that led to the coach getting fired. Oh it's bad.Owen and Fong then go through the Desmond trade to the Magic and how that may relate to the Kings. They also talk about the Finals and whether or not Indy can force a game 7 or if it'll end Thursday night.

This is part 1 in the 2024-25 season review for the Kings. This episode covers the prelude to everything leading up to the season.

Well it was not to be, the Kings were not able to jump into the top 4 of the draft with a 3.8% odds of doing it.Instead, it was the Mavericks, the team that demolished the Kings a month ago in the Play-In that get the #1 pick and the Spurs, the team that the Kings traded De'Aaron Fox to, who get the #2 pick.This is compounded by their pick going to Atlanta from the Kevin Huerter trade, so not a great day for the Kings. But with that pick conveying, the Kings can start anew and get to work on revamping the team for next season.Owen and Fong also go through Backlash 2025 this past Saturday and give a very detailed breakdown of the event.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
