The Kings can't seem to buy a win in the preseason, so here comes the obligatory question: Is this a cause for concern for the Kings in the regular season? And still the answer is maybe, maybe not. There are definitely unsettling things to take away from this game but also some silver linings. The Kings still have 2 more preseason games left, let's see if they can pick up a win before the start of the regular season.

In NFL news, the Niners lose their first game of the season by falling to the Cleveland Browns. The Niners unfortunately picked up a few injuries in the game but hopefully they're not long term injuries that will plague the team down the line.

The Kings returned to the states to take on the Lakers in Anaheim on Wednesday night in another losing effort. Similar issues plagued the Kings this game, poor defense and not being able to make shots. An interesting strategy if you wanna win games. Is this just the malaise that comes with getting back into game shape or are these a precursor to more serious issues down the line?

Time will tell if the Kings are be able to improve enough on both sides of the ball before the start of the regular season.

Well, the Kings finally play basketball again as they take on the Toronto Raptors in Vancouver. It started out beautifully for the Kings, they were playing the physical defense Mike Brown kept raving about on media day, and their historically great offense looked even better with a few wrinkles added in. Then the Kings started missing shots and their defense fell apart and the Raptors blew the game open and never relinquished control of the game.

It wasn't the result some Kings fan would've liked, but this is preseason basketball and it's only a glimpse of what the Kings can be. The Kings did show some great flashes of what they could be, and showed so things that may be concerning down the line. Ultimately, it's the first game of preseason and even then there needs to be a bigger sample before we can determine what the Kings will be.

On the Football side, the 49ers absolutely laid the smackdown on the Dallas Cowboys on route to becoming 5-0 on the season. Brock Purdy is proving himself to be a top quarterback and the Niners look they're going to be Super Bowl bound come February.
