I truly hate all the negativity, and loath how it's influenced my content over the last 14 months. Sports are supposed to be joyful & fun. I miss that. A sincere thank you to everyone who has supported, or put up with, my career transition.

History. 15 straight losses is a new, all-time franchise record for the Sacramento Kings. Every single player, coach, front office member & owner now owns that. And Kings fans boo them as the final buzzer sounds.

It's literally never EVER been this bad in Kings history. Not with John Salmons. Not with Jimmer. Not with George Karl. Not with Pete D'Alessandro. Not with Nik Stauskas or Quincy Douby. Not with the original Arco Arena. Not with the Maloofs. Not with relocation saga. Never.

The Orlando Magic have tied their franchise record for made threes in a game (25). They set that record back in 2024 against, guess who, the Sacramento Kings. In a double overtime game.

Got a Kings-themed fortune cookie at the game tonight.

Kings have reached that rule-of-thumb, 20 game mark to "see what they have". We all see it. And it's gross. So change it. If you can't get a trade done yet, then disperse some of the veteran minutes to guys that actually have a shot at being part of your future.

👑NEW LOCKED ON KINGS POD👑 🏀No silver linings after Kings' 7th straight loss. 🏀Kings have no strengths as a team. 🏀Kings offense can't build leads, let alone maintain them. 🖥️ youtu.be/NIxar4n4zO8

Look, I know that OKC is the #1 defense in the NBA. That would be more comforting if this weren't a nightly problem. Yes, the Kings defense is terrible. I understand Doug Christie's commitment to fixing it. But you can't fix a weakness before you establish a strength. The Kings have no strengths.

113 points is the fewest the Kings have allowed since October 28th. It's their 3rd lowest point total allowed in 15 games this season. And the Kings still lost by 14 because their offense only managed 99 points.

OKC just took an 11-point lead. So that's now 11 straight games the Kings have fallen behind by double-digits.

Did you know, the Sacramento Kings offense hasn't built a double digit lead in 2 weeks? In their last 6 games (not including tonight), their largest lead was 7 points. Meanwhile, their opponents have built a 13 point lead or higher in their last 10 games.

The Sacramento Kings are 3-11. 8 games under .500. At their lowest point in their 3 seasons with De'Aaron Fox & Mike Brown, including the 5 game losing streak that got Brown fired, the Kings were 5 games under .500 They are exceptionally worse off, and only 14 games in.

Very excited to share with you something I've been working on for the last week. This Thursday will be a special edition of the Locked On Kings Podcast. Fans have been asking; what is the Sacramento Kings' plan? I found out. We're in the first phase. I'll share more Thursday.

Tonight on Locked On Kings:

Domantas Sabonis & Zach LaVine have the potential to be a better duo than Sabonis & De'Aaron Fox were. Their success heavily depends on the right pieces around them too. But in terms of a two-man game, I think they both can be elite together.

Not a lot of things that I am super confident in with this Kings team to start the season, but one guy has really stood out to me over the last few weeks: Zach LaVine. His scoring is elite. And I have not seen more of an effort to embrace Doug Christie's defensive expectations than from Zach.
