The SportsEthos Sacramento Kings Podcast

Since our last episode, the Kings have been... kind of fun? Having won 2 of 3, including a thrilling triple OT victory in LA on Friday, Sacramento entered Sunday with some momentum- then proceeded to shit the bed in Memphis.

We discuss the last few games, this team's horrendous efforts from 3, and the ridiculousness of NBA scheduling. Also, we CANNOT wait for December 15th; bring on some trades Monte!

The Alvin Gentry era began much like the Luke Walton era ended: with a whimper. Sacramento couldn't finish off the 76ers G-League team, and now sit at 6-12 on the young season.

In other words, this team has given us little to be thankful for. But, we nonetheless review the game, try to find positives amidst the sadness, and Jill ends the episode with a burning hot (you'll see) Jill's Water Cooler.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all! Thanks for listening :)

It finally happened. Luke Walton, the 2nd-winningest coach in Kings history *sheds single tear* was let go on Sunday. Now, the Kings must push ahead under the guidance of 67-year-old Alvin Gentry, a seasoned NBA head man.

We discuss the coaching switch, and Jill reveals two candidates she'd like to see take the job in Sacramento (the list is long, and more names will be shared in the future). We close with a look at tonight's game vs Philly, and how we expect a lot of 2018 Joerger-Kings vibes going forth.

It's Friday, so that's the good news. But the Kings also play today, which is... well, it's something!

We welcome Sacramento legend, comedian, and podcast host/writer Johnny Taylor to the show, as we discuss the depressing state of the Kings. We end with a "Jill's Water Cooler" that will remind you that ALL NBA refs are corrupt (if you're a true Kings fan, you already knew that).

The 4-game losing streak (that felt more like a 40 games) finally ended for Sacramento on Monday. Now they shift their focus to another poor team, the Timberwolves, as they try and salvage this road trip with a 2-2 record.

We recap the last few days in Kings-land, share some NBA throwback tales that will make you feel better about yourself, and tease our comedic guest for Friday!

It's been 10 days since the Kings last won a game, and their Head Coach is finally and officially on the hot seat.

We discuss the Monday news from Sam Amick/Shams, briefly discuss the Kings shameful loss to OKC, and what life will be like post-Walton (hint: Gentry is not much of an upgrade). We don't even preview much of tonight's Pistons game because, I mean, why bother? The Kings are in a weird spot right now, and it's only been 13 games. We just wanted to get out feelings out there so we can somehow survive the remaining 69 that lie ahead.

Coming off their ugliest loss of the season, the Kings gave us plenty to vent about- so that's exactly what we did.

The highly opinionated, ever-entertaining Connor Sutton (host of "The Breakaway: A Republic FC podcast") grabs a mic, a dark room, and joins us for this episode. We cover the Kings recent woes, their next opponent (and why Sam admittedly fears them) and Marvin Bagley's next home. We end, as usual for Friday's, with "Jill's Water Cooler," and Connor even takes it upon himself to share his own fun story (it was okay. He tried).

On Monday, the Kings were granted a golden chance to snag a win from the Ayton-less Phoenix Suns. In typical Sacramento fashion, they fell asleep in the second half, before waking up just a bit too late.

We recap that "disgusting" game, analyze GM Monte McNair's random Monday interview with The Athletic, and send out ~ good vibes ~ in hopes this 2-game losing skid will quickly end in San Antonio tonight.

For the second week in a row, the Kings split their Friday/Sunday games, winning the first and losing the second. We discuss all that went right and wrong as Sacramento continues to tease who they truly are (we still have no clue). We end by previewing tonight's duel against Phoenix, and their next 4 game roadie starting Wednesday (hint: we believe they can have a perfect trip *gasps*)

The Hoop-Ball Kings podcast has had some awesome Friday guests; this week is no different. A college friend of Sam's, Matia Divac was kind of enough to Zoom us from LA and give us an insight unlike ANY we've had thus far.

We discuss SO much, opening the floor to Matia as he shares his thoughts on the Kings and what it was like to grow up with a famous Dad.

We could give a more descriptive tease, but it'd be pointless. Odds are you won't even read to this point- and if you are, what are you doing?! Come on man! Just listen and enjoy.
