The Sacramento Kings are Bad at Basketball
Well this steam really sucks. Here are some things I noticed after I dove in.

That Monk-Fox friendship was seriously overblown wasn’t it.

Feels like a good time to re-up this. Kings are bad and they don’t really have any good options!

I do not understand why Doug thinks there should be any lineups with Westbrook and Schröder together.

This team just legit sucks, but what’s the point of playing DeMar 34 minutes to do that?
November 15, 2025 at 3:33 AM
I’m really enjoying this Doug Christie presser. But this probably won’t fly with these vets hahahaha

Sabonis playmaking is so overrated.
November 13, 2025 at 4:51 AM
November 13, 2025 at 4:42 AM
And scoring
Devin Carter really is allergic to passing huh?
November 13, 2025 at 4:31 AM
It’s tough to overstate the impact the De’Aaron Fox had on defenses because man Sabonis looks so much worse without a guy like that on his team.
November 13, 2025 at 3:57 AM
Look I don’t THINK the kings bench players are better than their starters… but man it’s tough to not ask a lot of questions.
November 13, 2025 at 3:55 AM
Go back to some starters, immediately go back down double digits? Hmm ok.
November 13, 2025 at 3:48 AM
I’ve don’t ever think I’ve seen a lineup in this day and age with like negative threepoint shooting
November 13, 2025 at 2:58 AM
Another multiyear contract they won’t be able to move!
I’m starting to think Dennis Schröder is overpaid.
November 12, 2025 at 6:21 AM
Nique please just catch and shoot.
November 12, 2025 at 5:47 AM
Healthy version of this roster, the starting lineup should probably be Russ, Keon, Zach, Keegan, and Domas.

This will NEVER happen but I could at least get behind this lineup.
November 10, 2025 at 4:48 AM
It’s crazy that Sabonis just like sucks now.
November 10, 2025 at 4:07 AM
Honestly Keon’s not making all the difference for this team. But it’s the principle.
November 10, 2025 at 3:53 AM
There is such a jarring difference between Nique’s style of play and the vet’s. Take from that what you will.
November 10, 2025 at 3:49 AM
Imagine how many kings would be down if Doug didn’t play his defensive guys.
November 10, 2025 at 3:03 AM
Gonna need him to get some actual meaningful time out there.
November 10, 2025 at 2:07 AM
I am blown away by any Sacramento media who watch this team and think it’s a fun team
November 8, 2025 at 4:52 AM
Why didn’t the Kings just sign Westbrook and extend Keon instead of giving Schroder 15 million per year on a multiyear deal?
November 8, 2025 at 4:51 AM
It’s so crazy watching a team roll out a core rotation that is unbelievably incapable of defending on or off the ball.
November 8, 2025 at 4:44 AM
Honestly they should trade him ASAP
Keon Ellis DNP is crazy.
