We have reached that point. Sacramento has now lost 6 straight games and 15 of their previous 18 so we dived into tanking. What is it, is it effective, should the Kings tank? We also propose potential trades if they were to go down that route.

It got worse, somehow. The Sacramento Kings have topped themselves once again this year for the worst loss of the year after blowing a nine-point lead with under two minutes left in regulation and eventually falling to the Spurs in overtime.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our listeners, and in this episode we run with that theme by comparing all of the current Kings players to Thanksgiving dishes. Is De'Aaron Fox clearly turkey? Does Bjelicia have sauce enough to be gravy? Is cranberry sauce good at all?

The Sacramento Kings have lost their best player for at least a month's time. De'Aaron Fox has a left ankle injury that will have him reevaluated in 3-4 months.

He has been a credentialed media of the Sacramento media for upwards of 15 years now, a true long-time professional. We talk on his lower than average expectations headed into the season, the vibe around the team after dropping the first five, if they feel as though they turned a corner after winning two straight, the health and role of Giles, and more.
