Fox was on Draymond Green's podcast this week and amongst other things, mentioned that the team needed to put more pieces around him to be more successful. Well, that would require him to hold on to his end of the bargain and perform up to par to justify making those moves.

And perform well he did not, as he once again came out lackadaisical, and the rest of the team followed suit as they were outphysicaled and outhustled by the Lakers on their home floor to lose their 2nd game in a row.

If Fox wants to be paid like a supermax guy, this game is the complete opposite of what he needs to do to achieve that.

The Kings went down big against the Nuggets as they were pummeled inside by the visitors and left trailing by 20 after the first quarter.

But then the Kings woke up, and managed to turn the tide of the game in their favor, taking the lead in the 3rd and leading for much of the 4th. But the Nuggets struck back and after trading the lead numerous times in the final minute, Jamal Murray hit the final go-ahead bucket that turned out to be the game winner. The Kings would miss their final shot and lose in a heartbreaker.

The Kings showed great fight to comeback down big but crunch time execution has been a problem but the biggest issue this game was the awful start they had to this game. They'll need to correct that especially as they have another 3 day rest before the Lakers game and the Kings have always gotten to slow starts after long rests such as this.

Owen also gives his thoughts on the NBA ratings conversation and what he thought of WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event this past weekend.

It wasn't easy, and the Kings damn sure made it as hard as possible on themselves, but they finally got the Pelicans monkey off their back.

The game started off good, then it turned rough as the Kings offense just could get a consistent rhythm, as it is common after a long layoff for this team. After halftime, Demar DeRozan decided to put his stamp on the game and scored 16 in quarter to take the lead and the Kings never looked back after. Even though they did their damnedest to give the game late in the 4th and CJ McCollum was happy to take it.

But the Kings held them off to secure the much needed victory to get the mental chokehold off their back.

Kings have now won 3 in a row and look to continue it back in the G1C against the Nuggets on Monday.

The Kings come home from their short road trip back to the G1C and absolutely dominate the Jazz.

They simply overwhelmed the Jazz with their defense and shotmaking and when the Kings have it going from 3, they are absolutely unstoppable.

Owen decides to take some time and explain the luxury tax, what it is and why Vivek may or may not being willing to go into it and he ends the episode by talking about the New Day being his new favorite thing in wrestling.

The Kings split their 2 game road trip in Memphis and San Antonio. While it wasn't perfect, they did play well in Memphis and then marvelously in San Antonio.

Against the Grizzlies, the Kings played well against a good team, but they couldn't hit their 3s and defend down the stretch. But the signs were there that the Kings looked more cohesive than they have in previous games.

And onto San Antonio the next day, while they started very slow, after the end of the 1st quarter the Kings took control of the Wemby-less, Vassell-less and Jones-less Spurs and never looked back.

This could be something, it could be nothing, but the Kings looked better overall and if this could be the start of a run to get back on track in the standings. Or it could just be nothing and the Kings just revert back to the inconsistent team they've been all season so far.

The thought Owen had coming into this game was that it was going to be a horrible match up for the Kings. The Kings struggle with long, athletic and physical teams, which is exactly what the Rockets are.

And in the 1st half, the Kings didn't look up to the task of matching the Rockets. But the Rockets then tried to add a little extra flavor and things got chippy with the 2 teams, and that inadvertently sparked the Kings and they rose to the occasion.

The Kings offense woke up and they matched the intensity of the Rockets and more in the 2nd half to walk away with the victory.

It's a much needed win for the Kings and the biggest things from the game is that they matched the Rockets physicality and they broke out of their shooting slump a little. Let's hope they carry that momentum forward and get back on track.

The Kings lose another one, in what is becoming a trend as of late. But in this one, the Kings played better than the Spurs in many areas. They outscored them in the paint, outrebounded them and destroyed them in transition points. But the Spurs did one thing better, they shot better from 3, much better, and they outlast the Kings in a competitive game.

It would be easy to be doom and gloom about another loss but there are signs of optimism to be found. The Kings have a hole to climb out of but it is still early in the season, and there is time to figure things out. But again, it gets late early and with each passing game, reasons to be optimistic could seem more futile if there is no improvement soon.

The Kings pulled an incredible comeback in Minnesota 2 nights ago but failed to carry that momentum over to Portland.

They really struggled against the length and physicality of Blazers (hey where have we heard that one before?) and it rattled them to the tune of 20 turnovers that ultimately doomed them.

The Kings now fall to 9-11 on the season through 20 games and 12th in the West. It's not good but is by no means the end of the world but with each loss comes a sense of urgency that the Kings need to get their act together before it's too late.

Well, the Kings got their much needed win in Minnesota. It was going well, until it wasn't, and then it was again. It was the most cardiac Kings performance and after the dust settled the Kings got their win.

The Kings snap their 4 game losing streak and now go to Portland to try continue the momentum from this win.

Survivor Series Wargames is this Saturday so Owen and Fong give their predictions for the results.

The Kings lose 2 big back to back games at home, dropping them to 8-10 on the season and are now in the midst of a 4 game losing streak.

In the 1st game against the Nets, the Kings allowed the Nets to shoot lights out from 3 and to ultimately hold on to beat the Kings.

In the 2nd game, the Kings played a competitive game against the Thunder but were rattled by a bad stretch of foul calls in the middle of the 3rd quarter and they never recovered.

The season gets late early and the Kings will need to turn it around soon if they are to make some noise in the playoff race.
