We’re a week into the season now, and De’Aaron Fox has yet to have a bad game. And it’s not like the Kings have had one of those weeks where the schedule-makers are like “let’s just take a dump all over the fans that want to actually see their team play”. Four games already, and…

Garrett Temple Career High 23 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (10/23/2017)
“That,” Garrett Temple announced as he walked into the Kings’ locker room after the game, “Is how you take over a game of basketball.” He ignored the cold stares of his teammates as he flumped down at his seat and began removing his shoes. “Uh, you missed the game-tying free throw and then we lost,”…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 12 Points Kings Debut Full Highlights (10/23/2017)
I can’t decide if it’s good or bad that Bogdan Bogdanovic took 15 shots in 25 minutes in his NBA debut. On one hand, it’s nice to see confidence from a neophyte. On the other hand, chucking without hesitation isn’t the most desired trait in this modern NBA. On the third hand, he dominated Europe…
Read MoreSkal Labissiere 17 Points Full Highlights (10/23/2017)
There was nothing sadder than watching Skal Labissiere sit at the draft last year and look on as everyone around him got selected. Just him and Deyonta Davis, wondering why the heck no team wanted to take them. Everyone knows that feeling of being unwanted, and the idea of your unwantedness being shown to millions…

Attention fanbases other than the Kings’: this is what happens when you have a roster that is almost entirely composed of “potential” and “excitement”. You may think that that is what you want, but you often end up with a team that scores 79 only because they kind of went off in the fourth quarter,…

De’Aaron Fox and Skal Labissiere: the new Stockton and Malone? Here’s a hint for you dummies out there: when I start off a description with a question, the answers is always yes. Always. So if you’re finding it hard to find two brain cells to rub together, just remember that simple fact and you won’t…

Thanks refs. Thanks a lot. I actually just sent the NBRA (National Basketball Refereess Association) a really nice thank you card with a special personal note that said in part “I’m really happy that you guys conspired to SCREW the Kings out of a WELL-DESERVED win in the first game of the first full season…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 19 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2017)
Okay, so, for those of you who forgot, I have spent the better part of the last year with a 12-foot-tall 3D-printed plastic naked purple statue of Buddy Hield residing in my apartment. It started off as a hype-driven 3000-dollar order from one of those online 3D printing outfits, but over the course of the…

I’ve got a new theory that I want to float out there for feedback. There is no better to place to debut my groundbreaking basketball hypothesis than the comment section of a YouTube video, which everybody knows is the internet’s preeminent basketball analytics community. Here it is: Willie Cauley-Stein contributes more to winning basketball than…

Do you know what a metamorphosis is? Think back to your elementary school science classes. At some point during that period of your life, during which you spent most of your time picking your nose and eating dirt on the playground, you probably learned about this term. You at least learned about how caterpillars turn…
