Deuce and Mo break down the Kings’ win over the Raptors and the ongoing challenge of talking about results while also understanding the lottery implications at this point in the season. They get into what stood out from the game, including a strong performance from DeMar DeRozan against his former team, along with a big night from Precious Achiuwa and what they’ve liked about what he’s brought since joining the team.

They also discuss the professionalism DeMar has shown throughout a challenging season, and why Precious has been such a solid addition. Deuce shares his thoughts on not being “pre-mad” about the draft lottery and how that mindset applies late in the year.

They wrap with thoughts on the Kings’ current spot in the standings, the Raptors’ inconsistency, the wide-open NBA MVP race, and why this season feels deeper than usual at the top. They also reflect on the 10-year anniversary of getting fired on April Fool’s Day.

The Kings fall 116-99 to the Nets in a game where they were once again down a ton of guys....no DeMar DeRozan, no Malik Monk, and the list keeps going. Brooklyn hit 17 threes and controlled this one as Sacramento drops to 19-57.

We talk a bit about what we saw from this one, what it means for the lottery standings, and whether any real NBA lottery reform is actually coming.

From there, things go a little all over the place (as they should). We hit the 3-year anniversary of the Kings ending the playoff drought, the wild finish in the Duke-UConn game, and try to figure out what the hell is going on with the Orlando Magic after allowing a 31-0 run to Toronto. Plus, a shoutout to the Boston Celtics for winning their 50th game in what a lot of people thought would be a gap year.

Also… if you’re locked into a late-season Kings-Nets breakdown with two teams like this, you're a sicko.

They also get into some pretty wild 3-point numbers with where the Kings offense and defense are right now.

The guys also talk about what’s behind the Hornets’ recent surge, then zoom out to the bigger NBA picture with Victor Wembanyama making his own MVP case, if the 65-game rule needs to change, and Paul George’s return from suspension.
