They had to work for it, but they got the win over an injury-riddled Memphis Grizzlies team to break their 16 game losing streak.It wasn't easy, the Grizzlies made them work for despite them getting up double digits multiple times but the Kings hit big shot after big shot to secure its first win in a month.They'll be off to Texas now to face the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks on a back to back on Wednesday and Thursday.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

No Kings game until Thursday, but plenty of things have happened around the league.The Jazz and Pacers received BIG fines for sitting their players when healthy, which led fixing the NBA draft a big topic in the last few days.Oh, and All Star Weekend happened and while not everything hit, the event overall was ... 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

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 lose the Tankbowl game to the Pelicans rather decisively. But we will see in May if they will have won the war.The Kings offense was a mess all night and gave up a bunch transition buckets and that was the game.

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. Outside of the trade to acquire De'Andre Hunter, the Kings made no other trades.Fans including yours truly were disappointed, but is it a good thing or a bad thing?Owen goes through his thoughts on how he feels about the Kings post-trade deadline.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 a weird vibe in the G1C, there was an air of uneasiness. Perhaps it's the looming trade deadline that everyone in the building knows is coming. Either way, the Kings welcomed new addition De'Andre Hunter to the team and it's definitely a work in progress.The story of the game is definitely how the Kings mixed in the vets and young guys on the team and how the chemistry of these groups can produce.On the actual trade front, the NBA went a little wild the last 2 days and we give our thoughts on them.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 can't seem to win in Washington, as just like last year they lost to a tanking Wizards team that purposely played their young players and not their starters in crunchtime and the Kings still couldn't close it out.This game however took a back seat to any discussions about the Kings as the Kings made a trade that brings them De'Andre Hunter in exchange for Keon Ellis, Dennis Schroder and Dario Saric.Owen and Fong give their initial reactions to finding out about the trade.They also review the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia and whether it was a success.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 here we are again, another 8 game losing streak this season.On Thursday in Philly the Kings played a hard fought game and ended up losing on a final shot by Tyrese Maxey. The next night in Boston they simply didn't have any juice left to hang with the Celtics as they get blown out.While the Kings have looked good in stretches on this road trip, it's still a loss in the win-loss column. They are now the worst team in the league in terms of record and it will be very interesting how this will affect anything leading up to trade deadline this upcoming week.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 played well for 3 and half quarters. They played good defense, forced the Knicks into a lot of silly turnovers, and Demar was carrying the Kings on offense. But the floor fell out from under them in the final 4 minutes as the Knicks go on a run to win the game going away.Under the surface of this loss is also a game within a game regarding the King's offense. With Sabonis returning to the starting lineup, the King's starting lineup runs into a clash of philosophies with each of their veteran players and the result is a messy concoction of team basketball that just isn't conducive to winning basketball and is a source of confusion for everyone involved.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

If I told you that the Kings shots 52% FG and 44% from 3 for a game, you would assume they won the game right?Well not when you let the opposing team shoot 55% FG and 52% from 3 and you turn the ball over 19 times for 28 points off turnovers.The Kings for the most played great on offense but they really struggled to get stops and had some god awful turnovers that negated the terrific shotmaking they had this game.Their losing streak now grows to 5 as they start their first 2 road games of this trip 0-2.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 game started out 16-2 for the Cavs and the Kings looked absolutely cooked. Coach Christie calls a timeout and benches the starters and sends in his super subs and they were able to tie the game by the end of the 1st quarter.The rest of the game was a back and forth battle until the Kings missed a few late buckets to give the game to the Cavs.This is an interesting conundrum for the Kings and their coaching staff as it's clear that there needs to be a shakeup in the starting lineup and bench combos to get the most out of this team.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 a struggle the Kings have dealt with the entire season, when they're not getting stops and subsequent transition buckets, their half court offense isn't reliable enough to keep up with most teams in the league.And that's the main issue the Kings have faced in their 3rd loss in a row, their half court offense is slow, unimaginative and oh so stagnant. When they aren't scoring, their defense also suffers and that's what has led to 3 very decisive losses to good teams.The Kings end their 7 game homestand with a respectable 4-3, but they now depart for a long 6 game road trip on the East Coast that will last basically until the trade deadline.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

All good things come to an end, the Kings had a great 4 game winning streak but that was ended by the Blazers tonight.The stifling Blazer defense slowed the Kings down and the Kings offense was clunky for stretches, letting the Blazers build a big lead that they never lost.It was good while it lasted but this loss shows the Kings still have a lot of issues to address. Maybe this win streak also showed them something they can build off of as well.

The Kings keep winning as they extend their winning streak to 4 after beating the Washington Wizards.It got hairy in the middle, but the Kings rose to the occasion after a scuffle and took control of the game and the Wizards never got close again.Kings are playing very well as of late and are getting reinforcements back in the form of Sabonis from injury and Dennis from suspension.Let's see if the Kings can continue their momentum on Saturday.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 extend their winning streak to their longest of the season at 3 games after beating the Knicks in this long homestand.The Kings played terrific defense and the Knicks shot horrifically from the outside and weren't much better inside. On the offensive end they moved the ball and played with an extra physicality. That plus the incredible play of Precious Achiuwa who definitely wanted to stick it to his former team, the Kings definitely outplayed the Knicks on this night.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 not only their 1st win of the new year, but back to back wins and beams. In the Rockets game, the Kings were able to out-hustle and out-physical the gianormous Rockets lineup, mostly thanks to Dylan Cardwell, who brought all the energy and physicality that Coach Doug Christie dreamed of.And in the Lakers game, the Kings shot the lights out from 3 behind Malik Monk's shooting.These wins have been very impressive and maybe could be a turning point for the Kings discovering something with lineups and play styles they can lean into more going forward.In the meantime, it's nice to see the Beam back, and in back to back nights for the 1st time this year.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 faced the Warriors in a battle of offensive philosophies. The Kings rely on their players to create shots through isolations while 3 or 4 players stand around and space, and the Warriors do it through moving the ball all over the floor combined with constant player movement.For about 2 and a half quarters, the Kings and Warriors traded leads. But after being tied 84-84, the well went dry for the Kings offense and the Warriors pulled away with a 13-0 run and the Kings never got close again.As it has happened so many times this season, the King's offensive philosophy fails them again and they lose another game in deflating fashion.Owen and Fong also talk about the Trae Young to Washington trade, as well the possibility of a Ja Morant trade before the deadline and much 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

It was a game the Kings led the Mavs for much of the game, until they didn't.They started out bombing from 3, and forcing tons of turnovers from the Mavs which lead to plenty of fastbreak points for the Kings. But when the Kings played in the half court it was a whole other story, and it ultimately led to the loss.Kings have things to work on that's for sure, but they really need to figure out their half court offense so they don't go on extended droughts to let teams get right back in the 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

It was a tale of 3 and half quarters. For most of the game, the Kings looked hapless on both ends of the floor, they can't stop the Bucks offense and most definitely not Giannis Antetokounmpo. And then on offense, it's stagnant without any spacing to work with and not enough 3s being generated or hit.And for the half of basketball in which they did those things, they looked amazing and were able to cut a once 26 point deficit to 3 in the 4th quarter.Until the Kings can find a synergy between their offensive and defensive identities, it's gonna look more like the 3.5 quarters of dreadful basketball that we saw tonight.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 start 2026 on a bit of a bummer, losing their first 2 games back to back against the Celtics and Suns.Both games did see the return of a fast paced attack of the Kings with plenty of ball movement and activity on defense. But both games then saw them kind of gas out eventually. In the Celtics game it was the 4th quarter and in the Suns game it was the 3rd quarter.While the results aren't there in these 1st 2 games, the process does seem to be there and let's see if the Kings can build upon these 2 games for the better.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 did not have a fruitful trip to LA. Losing to the Lakers in demoralizing fashion and then to Clippers tonight in an even more non-competitive loss.The Kings tried to up their physicality but just had no juice on the offensive end. And when you can't score consistently, it's harder to set your defense properly and the Clippers scored in transition in bunches to blow the game open where the Kings never threatened after the 1st quarter.Well that's a poetic way to end 2025 for the Kings, let's hope 2026 has better things waiting or them.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 come out of Christmas by getting a terrific win over the Mavericks in the G1C. They forced a ton of turnovers from the Mavs and shot the lights out from 3 to spoil Cooper Flagg's debut in Sacramento.It wasn't as rosy the next night when they traveled down to LA to face the Lakers as the Kings got the turnover bug and mightily struggled to defend the Lakers on route to a decisive loss against the purple and gold.The Kings will stay in LA to face the Clippers next before the year turns 2026.Owen and Fong also have a little bit of fun discussing the Fallout TV show as the new season is out and Owen has had a chance to catch up and share his thoughts on the show so 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

(I accidentally said episode 588 in the opening, I meant to say 585)The Kings lately have been hanging with their opponents, not getting blown out and always making things interesting in crunch time.This game was no different even though for much of the game the Kings trailed by double digits as they were bullied physically by the Pistons. But in the 4th quarter the Kings battled and were able to cut the lead to 7 before falling.This new look Kings team has looked better and tougher and it's a refreshing sight to what has been a pretty miserable 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

The Kings rematched the Blazers Saturday night and while the game was close, there was no spectacular or controversial ending. The Kings simply got outplayed, so on to the Rockets game the next night.And what a game it was, the Kings battled hard against the Rockets all night and sent the game to OT with a spectacular 3 pointer from Westbrook where they would win with a go-ahead 3 from Schroder in the final seconds.In both of these games, the Kings have leaned into a set lineup where they embrace the young players along with an interesting combo of veterans to stir the drink.It will be interesting to see how these things develop together as the season goes on.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 screwed the Kings, referee Marc Davis says. After pulling a miraculous comeback after being down 15 with under 2 and a half minutes to go to tie the game and go into overtime, the Kings would take a 1 point lead in OT with 4.4 seconds to go after trailing by 6 with 33.2 seconds to go.Deni Avdija would take the ball down the court with 4.4 seconds to go and miss a runner from just inside the 3 point line.The game was over, everyone thought, but no so fast, as referee Marc Davis calls a foul that occurred just prior to the clock expiring on Russell Westbrook to give Deni 2 freethrows to win the game by 1.It was one of the wildest games this year and perhaps in history and Owen goes through 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

Kings lose their 4th and final game to the Wolves this season. The Kings actually defended the Wolves offense really well but their stagnant offense cost them this game.

The Kings lose to the 5-18 Pacers in Indiana and it was weirdly competitive game.The Pacer got an early lead and kept it until the Kings made a weird comeback in the 3rd quarter. It was then a shootout in the 4th that the Kings would ultimately lose.That being said, the Kings were competitive, albeit to a injury ravaged Pacers team, and the young guys looked good.And if you're a guy that roots for the team to tank, you ate well tonight.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 go into South Beach and thoroughly dominate the Heat. Lavine came out hot and stayed hot the entire game and it uplifted the Kings on offense.Their defense was also solid all night and the Kings won this game going away.Nice to see a win from the Kings, nice to see a bounce back performance for Lavine after a very tepid November, let's see if they can keep up this momentum going into Indiana.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 to the Rockets on the road but Coach Christie did so playing the young guys a lot of minutes when the vets didn't seem to have it.The team as a whole, both young guys and vets actually played really well in the first half but things got out of hand in the 2nd half and Doug went with the young guys to close the game.It's nice to see them get an extended run and it looks like the Kings are making the inevitable shift to the young players down the stretch early so they can get extra playing time.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 weren't able to handle the Grizzlies on this night, Zach Edey was too big and their ball movement seemingly befuddled the Kings enough to hand the Kings a loss in the G1C.

The Kings go into Utah and just ... lose. There's no real explanation for it, they just didn't show up.

The Kings came out Wednesday night and got absolutely punked by the Suns in the 1st quarter 41-16. And that was the game, even though the Kings outscored them 13 point the rest of the game, they still lost by 12.The King's turnovers, rebounding and general lack of urgency and physicality cost them big time and the Suns just big boyed them for most of the game.This ends the King's 2 game win streak and they will head to Utah to finish up their cup games on Friday.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

What a 2 game winning streak does to a team and its fanbase. Kings went from looking absolutely hopeless after the Memphis debacle to now getting 2 very impressive wins against upper tier Western Conference opponents.Against the Wolves tonight they were kept at arms distance for much of the game but stayed close by playing hard as hell and never going away. When crunch time hit, they entered another gear and tied the game in a matter of minutes and ultimately outlasted the Wolves in OT.It's a cliche but the Kings won this one with heart and grit.Now to see if this is sustainable as the Suns come to town 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 snap their 8 game losing streak by picking up a hard fought win in Denver. The Nugget pounded the Kings from 3 and the boards for most of the night but the Kings kept fighting to keep it close.Then in the 4th quarter Russell Westbrook harnessed his hatred for how the Nuggets treated him after last season and absolutely barbequed them.A lot of things needed to go right for the Kings to win this game and with their sheer force of will and Russ's hatred, they put it all together and earned this victory.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 King's losing streak is now 9, after a tough loss to the Thunder and a beatdown against the Grizzlies.The Thunder game showed what the Kings could be when they were locked in. They remain competitive throughout the game but simply couldn't keep up with the Thunder. But this was the Thunder so to a certain degree it's understandable and if they show up with that level of effort they can be a decent team.But that effort did not translate as the Kings get stomped in Memphis and lost by 41. The Kings looked disinterested and broken as a team and questions linger about the players' future on the team as the looming trade season approaches.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

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
