👑NEW LOCKED ON KINGS POD👑 🏀Kings sweep season series with Jazz. 🏀Keegan Murray's big night. 🏀Is the Kings starting lineup their worst lineup? 🖥️https://youtu.be/1a6VW6X-KSw

The best part about Keegan Murray's 26 point night was the balanced attack. 1Q: 6 points 2Q: 7 points 3Q: 7 points 4Q: 6 points Too many times this season he will have 1 or 2 good scoring quarters and nothing the rest.

The Sacramento Kings can't throw a lob, but they can beat the bad teams they are supposed to. Good win for the Kings heading into a tough March schedule.

14 Kings turnovers. This is going to kill them in March. They have to figure this out.

He did it!

Keegan Murray needs 4 more points for his first 20-point game since November 24th and his 4th overall of the season.

Kings 1Q: 22 points 6 turnovers Zach LaVine: 0 points, 0/2 FG Kings 2Q: 33 points 3 turnovers Zach LaVine: 13 points, 5/9 FG

The Kings offense looks sloppy and terrible again.

👑NEW LOCKED ON KINGS POD👑 🏀Zach LaVine explodes for 42 points! 🏀Kings get back to playing through Domantas Sabonis. 🏀Keon Ellis' injury. 🖥️https://youtu.be/CKruRcuNGsg

Didn't even realize that Domantas Sabonis only played 27 minutes tonight. Before the Valanciunas trade, winning a game with him playing that little was unheard of. Having Valanciunas available to play 14 minutes tonight and give Sabonis that break is huge for this team.

So the Kings just put a graphic with De'Aaron Fox up on the big screen to advertise the next home game against the Spurs. There were a lot of boos.

Basket is the size of an ocean for Zach LaVine right now.

33 points for Zach LaVine. He's got the Golden 1 Center rocking tonight.

Zach LaVine beats the buzzer to end a very sloppy and forgettable 3rd quarter. Good news is, the Kings still lead by 16.

8 turnovers in the 3rd quarter now for the Kings after just 8 at halftime.

These are the quarters that get you crushed by teams like the Cavs, Celtics and Thunder when they come through the G1C next month. Gotta clean these up.

Trey Lyles makes his first appearance in the 3rd quarter.

Kings lead the Hornets 65-45 at halftime. LaVine: 22 points, 8/9 FG, 4/4 3PT DeRozan: 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists Monk: 8 points, 5 assists Sabonis: 7 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists

Tech on LaMelo Ball just before halftime.

This is the most in-sync LaVine and Sabonis have looked. A lot less of LaVine just iso-creating and more playing/running of Sabonis. Sure it's against Charlotte, but it's a welcome sight.

Seeing a lot more Domantas Sabonis handoffs and drop off passes tonight. That's a very good thing for the Kings.

Keon Ellis is headed to the locker room...

Kings experiencing the kind of shooting night their opponents usually have. I like this side of things much better.

There's that Malik Monk, Domantas Sabonis two-man game Kings fans love to see!

Kings are shooting lights out to start this game. 7/11 from 3pt range.

Sure the NBA is a "guards league", but there's a buzz in Sacramento every time a big man like Jonas Valanciunas gets the work in the post.

10 first quarter points for Zach LaVine. All in the last few minutes.

DeMar DeRozan 🤝 Zach LaVine

Ellis replacing Monk seems like a pre-determined rotation decision. Monk had a solid first 4 minutes. Wasn't like Doug went to Keon over Malik quickly because Monk was bad.

Keon Ellis checking in 4 minutes into the game for the Kings. Replaces Malik Monk

Kings fans calling for a starting lineup change will be disappointed tonight.

To my point on today's podcast; if the Kings end up exactly where they are, a .500 team, 10th seed and likely out after a single play-in game, they will more than likely lose their draft pick this summer to Atlanta. It's quite literally the worst spot to be in for Sacramento.

👑NEW LOCKED ON KINGS POD👑 I try to articulate the bleak state of the Sacramento Kings and how the realistic best-case-scenario ending to this season doesn't prevent the incoming summer of very difficult decisions for the organization. 🖥️https://youtu.be/KOCPO5vsLIo

👑NEW LOCKED ON KINGS POD👑 🏀Kings get blown out by the Warriors. 🏀Kings don't look like a team. 🏀Doug Christie's powerful postgame comments. 🖥️https://youtu.be/vSt0j1aKt6w

I asked Malik Monk about the Kings finding the balance between isolation on offense and moving the basketball.

Doug Christie on Warriors fans in the Golden 1 Center: "I don't like to hear them. And if you wanna not hear them, you shut them up. And we didn't."

Zero joy in being right.

31 points for DeMar DeRozan. Next highest King is Sabonis with 14.

Bring puke guy back.

Buddy Hield has more points (19) than every Sacramento King not named DeMar DeRozan.

Markelle Fultz with the hammer in his Sacramento Kings debut.

Golden State has 25 points off the Kings' 14 turnovers.

Curry three. Warriors up 20 again.

The Kings fouled a three-point shooter. Drink.

The Warriors will absolutely give the Kings an opening to get back in this game.

Halftime and only 2 Kings players have more points than Draymond Green.

It's DeMar DeRozan vs the Golden State Warriors tonight I guess.

Warriors are outscoring the Kings 22-8 in the 2nd quarter. Steph Curry hasn't played since the 1st quarter.

Did...did the Kings just tease HIS return?
